Used value estimate
2016 Hyundai Tucson value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2016 Hyundai Tucson in good condition with average mileage (about 125,000 miles) is worth roughly $9,200 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $8,450 to $9,950, or about $10,600 at a dealer. Note: 2016 is a flagged year for this model (2016–2018 (1.6T DCT)) — Dual-clutch hesitation from stops — worst uphill. Test it in traffic before you commit. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.
