**Depreciation Insight – What to Expect Over Time**
When it comes to auto depreciation, the Hyundai Tucson depreciation pattern follows typical midsize SUV trends. Rough, but realistic figures are:
- First year: 15–20% drop from sticker price (often a quiet 3–5 months after purchase)
- Year 2–3: 5–8% per year as the vehicle moves past the steepest portion of its depreciation curve
- Years 4–5: 3–5% annually, with a notable smoothing if mileage is under 50,000 miles
- Beyond 5 years: 1–2% per year, stabilized by the incremental decline in market value and the aging of the model
These percentages are averages compiled from large datasets of used SUV sales. Actual depreciation can vary based on mileage, condition, location, and market demand.
**Market Position**
The 2006 Tucson carved a niche for budget‑conscious families and city commuters who needed a versatile, entry‑level SUV without the luxury price tag. It sits in the compact SUV segment, competing directly with early‑2000s models such as the Dodge Journey, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX‑7. With its compact dimensions, user‑friendly interior, and respectable fuel economy, the Tucson remains a popular choice for:
- Urban and suburban drivers who value cargo space and short‑to‑moderate trip ranges
- Parents looking for a family-friendly SUV that delivers everyday practicality
- First‑time SUV owners who want a stable, dependable vehicle that performs well on both highways and light off‑road conditions
**Comparison Context**
Compared to other SUVs from the same era, the 2006 Tucson offers a balanced mix of value, reliability, and usability. For instance:
- Compared to the Honda CR‑V 2006, the Tucson generally comes in more affordable while offering slightly superior cargo capacity, but the CR‑V tends to retain a marginally stronger resale value.
- In contrast to the Mazda CX‑7 2007, the Tucson’s engine is less powerful, yet it provides better fuel economy and often lower maintenance costs.
- Against the Ford Escape 2006, the Tucson’s interior layout is comparable, though the Escape sports a more robust rear‑seat legroom for taller passengers.
