2019 Hyundai Tucson crash-test ratings
Frontal and side barrier results are as high as NHTSA goes; the pole crash and rollover come in lower, and front- or all-wheel drive makes no difference to the stars.
NHTSA rates the 2019 Hyundai Tucson 5 out of 5 stars overall — 5 for frontal crash, 5 for side crash, 4 for rollover.
NHTSA lists forward collision warning and lane departure warning as standard on the front- and all-wheel-drive versions alike, so a Tucson of this year should have them and they should work. If a warning system is missing or shows a fault, ask why.
Inspecting a used 2019 Tucson
The ratings describe the Tucson as it left the factory. A car that has been in a serious crash, rebuilt, or had its airbags replaced is no longer the car NHTSA tested.
The pole crash was its weaker side result, so look closely at the side structure: sill seams, paint on the B-pillar, door-to-body gaps and the roof-rail trim above the doors.
Test the driver aids on the road: lane departure warning should react when you drift over a marked line without signalling. Check the windshield camera area and the front bumper for damage, and ask whether the windshield has been replaced, because the camera behind it may need recalibrating afterwards.
Rollover sat below the top mark, so make sure the tyres match and wear evenly across the tread and that the suspension stays quiet and settled over bumps.
What NHTSA did — and did not — test

Recalls, complaints and investigations
NHTSA keeps these alongside the crash-test results for the 2019 Hyundai Tucson SUV FWD. They answer a different question: not how the vehicle was built to perform in a crash, but what owners and the agency have reported since.
A recall campaign covers a range of vehicles; whether the repair was done on a particular car is a per-VIN question. Check open recalls by VIN.
How NHTSA's current ratings work
NHTSA announced new NCAP crash tests and rating criteria in July 2008, including a new overall rating that combines the frontal, side and rollover results. It then postponed the change by a year: the new criteria apply to vehicles tested beginning with model year 2011, not 2010 as first announced.
In NHTSA's own words, its rollover resistance ratings “estimate the risk of rollover if a vehicle is involved in a single-vehicle crash.”
One limit applies to every vehicle here. NHTSA notes that the frontal crash rating “depends on vehicle mass, and cannot be compared across vehicle weight classes” — a full-size truck's frontal stars and a compact car's are not the same measure.
- Federal Register, 73 FR 79206 (Dec. 24, 2008) — new NCAP criteria begin with model year 2011
- Federal Register, 73 FR 40016 (July 11, 2008) — NCAP testing and rating changes, including the overall rating
- Federal Register, 68 FR 59250 (Oct. 14, 2003) — NCAP rollover resistance ratings
