The 2016 Hyundai Tuscon SE Combines Value with Substance

Hyundai is stoked about their upgraded 2016 Tuscon, and with good reason.  But while most of the attention goes to the "higher end" versions, the Eco, Sport, and Limited packages, the SE offers great value, even without some of the frills and LED lights.

The 175 horsepower 4-cylinder is just a slight step down from the turbo-charged engine in the more Sport and Limited versions, but not too much.  Just 11 hp less than the turbo models.

The interior of the Tuscon SE is also surprisingly attractive, comfortable, and quiet for the more basic model.  A nice, intuitive infotainment system provides all of the components you need without overdoing it with excessive controls.  There is plenty of cargo and storage space, with an adjustable cargo floor in the rear that you can adjust for a deeper well.

While other manufacturers tend to make their more "base" models look and feel cheap, Hyundai has done a great job with the 2016 Tuscon SE, and all with an MSRP of just under $24,000.
