U.S. News has released its Best Cars for the Money list, and there’s one brand that stands out as having more titles than any other: Hyundai. Out of eleven categories, Hyundai vehicles claim five titles, including four SUVs. So what is it that Hyundai is doing so right?
Hyundai SUVs and vehicles tend to be roomy, comfortable and have up-to-date technology. Their interiors have an upscale feel that’s more refined than the price belies. These are the four best Hyundai SUVs – and 1 best Hyundai car – that made U.S. news shower Hyundai with awards.
The 2022 Hyundai Santa-Fe is U.S. News’ Best 2-Row SUV for the Money
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is U.S. News’ pick for the Best 2-Row SUV for the Money and it’s no surprise why. To determine which vehicle won each category, U.S. News used each SUV or car’s overall score to determine which was best in each category. The 2022 Santa Fe is the #8 Midsize SUV with an overall score of 8.2 out of 10,but the best when you consider its value. Its price starts at about $27,000 and it comes standard with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and is compatible with Apple CarPlay.

U.S. News calls the 2022 Hyundai Tucson the Best Compact SUV for the Money. It has a nice interior, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 187 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, and it gets 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

The Tucson also comes with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. U.S. News says that its “graphics are sharp, the menus are intuitive, and the touch screen responds promptly to inputs.” It’s compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is the Best Hybrid and Electric SUV for the Money. I’s pretty affordable for a hybrid SUV, starting at $29,200.

It has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has four USB ports and you can get a navigation system.
