Standard front wiper sizes for most 2021–present Tucson models
Below are the typical front-wiper blade sizes you will encounter on the latest Tucson models sold in many markets. These sizes are the common starting points for replacement blades.
- Driver-side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 18 inches
These sizes cover the majority of current-generation Tucson vehicles. However, variations can occur by market or trim, so it’s wise to double-check the exact specification for your VIN.
Rear wiper size
The Tucson’s rear wiper is a single blade, and the typical length for recent models is:
- Rear blade: 12 inches
As with the front blades, rear blade sizes can vary by market, so consult your vehicle’s manual or the door jamb sticker for confirmation of the exact rear blade length.
How to verify the correct blade size for your Tucson
To ensure you buy the right blades, you can:
- Check the owner’s manual or the official Hyundai parts catalog for your model year and market.
- Inspect the existing blades for size markings, often printed on the blade itself or the packaging.
- Look at the door jamb sticker or the glove compartment insert, which often lists recommended sizes and connector types.
- Measure the blades yourself by extending them fully and using a tape measure, then compare to standard sizes (26" and 18" for fronts, 12" for rear).
Connector type (hook vs. pin) and blade geometry can also affect compatibility, so know your blade’s mount style when shopping for replacements.
Summary
For the current Hyundai Tucson, plan on 26-inch driver-side and 18-inch passenger-side front blades, with a 12-inch rear blade as the typical configuration. Always confirm the exact sizes for your vehicle year and market before purchasing, using the owner’s manual, VIN-based dealer resources, or the blade markings on the existing blades.
