See them all

This Bestest-approved 2024 Hyundai Tucson SEL for sale in Anaheim is Hyundai certified, so its powertrain warranty is good until around October 2033 or another 90,000 miles, and its bumper-to-bumper coverage runs until around October 2028.

In addition, it has 10,072 miles, far fewer than the roughly 24,000 on a typical used 2024 Tucson listed in Orange County.

The SEL is the Tucson most Orange County shoppers choose. This SEL has front-wheel drive and the 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder, a pairing the EPA rates at 28 mpg combined. When you check availability, we'll also email you a link to the free Carfax vehicle history report (when available), which includes the exact in-service date and how much warranty is left.

Questions shoppers ask about this Tucson

Is Hyundai certified worth it?

On a Hyundai, certification matters more than on most makes. Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty normally ends with the first owner, and a second owner gets 5 years or 60,000 miles. Certified Tucsons keep the full 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage, for the engine and transmission, plus whatever is left of the 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, both counted from the first sale. Hyundai's program carries a $50 deductible per repair on the powertrain coverage. On a 2024, that is up to 5 more years of powertrain coverage than a non-certified Tucson would carry. In Orange County, a certified used Tucson usually lists for well under $1,000 more than a non-certified one, miles and trim being equal. Both transfer to you in full.

Is the Tucson Hybrid worth it?

The Tucson Hybrid costs more used than a gas Tucson, and the EPA rates an all-wheel-drive Tucson Hybrid at 37 mpg combined against this one's 28, which works out to about $50 a month less in gas at 1,000 miles a month. The hybrid is also the quicker Tucson. It also uses a conventional automatic instead of a CVT. Used hybrids hold their value better than their gas twins, so a good part of what you pay up front comes back when you sell. If you'll keep the car a few years, the hybrid pays for itself.

Do I need all-wheel drive in Orange County?

Front-wheel drive is all most Orange County drivers need. But all-wheel drive adds only about $500 to a used Tucson's price in Orange County, and costs about 1 to 2 mpg. AWD is at its best on slick roads, but even in Orange County it can deliver more confident acceleration pulling into traffic. So if a car has the color, trim and miles you want, don't let either answer stop you. If you head to Big Bear or Mammoth in winter, carry chains either way.

The SEL sits a step above the base SE in the Tucson lineup. Over the SE it adds:

​

  • Heated front seats
  • 8-way power driver's seat with 2-way power lumbar (in place of the SE's 6-way adjustable driver's seat)
  • Dual-zone automatic temperature control
  • Proximity key system with push button start
  • Hands-free smart liftgate with auto-open
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Heated side mirrors

​

It carries forward the SE's forward, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 8-inch color touchscreen display audio, automatic on/off LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and Smart Cruise Control with stop & go.

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is the last year before Hyundai's 2025 refresh of the fourth-generation Tucson, which was redesigned for 2022. Every gas 2024 Tucson has a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder and an eight-speed automatic. Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty covers only the original owner, so a used 2024 Tucson gets what's left of the 5-year/60,000-mile coverage.
