All-New 2010 Hyundai Tucson Priced from $19,790

The completely redesigned 2010 Tucson SUV will begin arriving at Hyundai's dealerships in the coming days with prices starting from $18,995 for the entry-level GLS with a six-speed manual-transmission and topping out at $24,345 for the Limited model. Bear in mind though that the above prices do not include a freight charge of $795.

For now, the new Tucson will be offered only with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder petrol rated at 176 horsepower and 168 lb.-ft. of torque, that can be linked to 6-speed manual or a automatic transmissions. However, Hyundai plans to add a 2.0-liter engine to the range in the 2011 model year.

There are two trim levels available for the 2010 Tucson, the base GLS which can be upgraded with the Popular and Navigation packages, and the more upscale Limited that can be enhanced with the Premium package.
