Having already earned a strong reputation as a new car, the Hyundai TUCSON has now been recognised as one of the UK’s finest pre-owned vehicles, winning Best Used Car Over £18,000 at the Scottish Car of the Year Awards 2025.

The awards, organized by the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW), were handed out at a ceremony at Edinburgh’s Dalmahoy Hotel, and it proved to be a memorable evening for Hyundai, with TUCSON being named Best Used Car Over £18,000. The awards were decided by Scotland’s most experienced motoring journalists and road testers, and after crowing SANTA FE Large Car of the Year, and IONIQ 5 N Performance Car of the Year in 2024, Hyundai was recognised once again.

Since its launch in 2021, TUCSON has been a fixture in the UK new cars top-sellers list, and last year alone it accounted for 35% of the 91,800 cars Hyundai sold here. It’s available with a 160PS T-GDI petrol engine, as well as a 48V mild hybrid, hybrid and plug-in hybrid, and has picked up an array of awards from leading media outlets including Top Gear, Auto Express and Carbuyer. This isn’t TUCSON’s first recognition in the used-car category either; it was also successful at the 2025 What Car? Used Car Awards, where it was commended for its practicality, quality, driving experience and value.

Hyundai makes it simple to buy a pre-owned TUCSON with confidence through its Hyundai Promise and Approved Used Programmes. Hyundai Promise cars are under 36 months old, have fewer than 60,000 miles, and come with a minimum 24-month warranty, which can be upgraded to five years. Approved Used TUCSONs (under 80,000 miles) come with the balance of the manufacturer warranty if less than five years old, or a retailer-supplied warranty if older. All vehicles include a minimum of 12 months’ roadside assistance. A wide range of models are available to browse online at used.hyundai.co.uk, with prices starting from around £10,000.

The TUCSON has been a favourite with new car buyers for many years, so it’s fantastic to see it recognised in the pre-owned market too. Stylish, practical, and enjoyable to drive, it’s a great choice for anyone looking for a used SUV – and with the Hyundai Promise and Approved Used programme, buyers can enjoy added peace of mind.
