Should I Buy a Hyundai Tuscon New or Pre-Owned?

One of the most common questions that we receive here at Kearny Mesa Hyundai is whether it is better to buy new or pre-owned. Like many dilemmas, there is no one correct answer that applies to everybody, as your individual decision will come down to a number of different factors. Whether you’re considering buying a 2020 Hyundai Tuscon, a different pre-owned model, or the new model, our dealers are happy to provide advice.

Features of the 2023 Hyundai Tuscon

The new 2023 Hyundai Tuscon is now available on our lot here at Kearny Mesa Hyundai, and it boasts cutting-edge style and affordability. Aficionados will remember that the 2022 Hyundai Tuscon received a complete model redesign, which sets the new model apart from previous models.

Buyers have their choice of a zippy four-cylinder engine, a hybrid powertrain, or a plug-in hybrid powertrain, giving it appeal to many different types of drivers. While the entry-level power plant is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, both the hybrid and the plug-in hybrid models use a 1.6-liter four-cylinder combined with an electric motor.

The 2023 Hyundai Tuscon comes standard with an 8.8-inch touchscreen integrated into the dashboard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Buyers can also opt for a larger 10.3-inch screen with built-in navigation.

Features of the 2020 Hyundai Tuscon

Looking at the pre-owned 2020 model, as well as other pre-owned models, the biggest advantage for buyers will be the lower price. While it doesn’t have quite as many cutting-edge features and design cues as the new model, it still boasts:

• Two four-cylinder engine options
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
• 7.0-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
