2015 Hyundai Tucson: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Hyundai Tucson is mostly a carryover. Its main change is that the 4.3-inch touchscreen becomes standard on the SE and Limited trims.
About the 2015 Hyundai Tucson
2nd generation Tucson (2010-2015), final U.S. model year before the all-new 2016 redesign.
Hyundai presents the Tucson as a stylish, easy-to-live-with small SUV for people who are always on the go. The core pitch is compact size that makes parking easy, a smoother ride than many small SUVs, flexible rear seats, and a strong feature list for the class. Against roomier rivals, Tucson leans more on maneuverability, everyday comfort, and an upscale feel than on maximum cargo space.
The GLS is the straightforward everyday model, with a 164-hp 2.0-liter engine, Bluetooth and a split-folding rear seat. The SE steps up to a 182-hp 2.4-liter engine, heated front seats, a touchscreen and a rearview camera, while the Limited adds leather, keyless entry with push-button start and dual-zone climate control.
