Model Years: 2005–Present; Average Repair Price per Year: $426* With a predicted reliability score of 88%, the Hyundai Tuscan has established a reputation as one of the most low-maintenance and dependable compact SUVs on the market over the past fifteen years, as evidenced by its ranking second on RepairPal's list of dependable compact SUVs, just behind the third-ranked Toyota RAV4.

All things considered, you should not have to shop for a car for about 15 years after purchasing a Hyundai Tucson.
