For most Hyundai Tucson models, the front wipers are 26 inches on the driver's side and 17 inches on the passenger's side, with a 12-inch rear blade. Sizes can vary by year and trim, so it’s wise to verify the exact fit for your specific vehicle.
This article breaks down typical sizes for current Tucson models, explains how to confirm the right dimensions for your year, and offers practical tips for buying new blades. Because the Tucson has gone through multiple generations with occasional regional variations, checking your manual or using a parts lookup by year and VIN is the safest approach.
Front wiper blade sizes
Use these sizes as a quick reference for most modern Tucson models. Front blade lengths are measured from end to end when mounted on the wiper arm.
Current Tucson models (2021–present)
- Driver-side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 17 inches
These front-blade dimensions cover the majority of 2021–present Tucson configurations, including common trims and most markets. If your vehicle is a different year or regional variant, sizes may differ slightly.
Notes on older generations
Earlier Tucson generations used a range of front-blade lengths, and some regional variants may deviate from the 26/17 standard. Always confirm for your exact year and market to avoid buying the wrong size.
Rear wiper blade size
The rear wiper on most Hyundai Tucsons is significantly shorter than the front blades and follows a single, narrower specification for many model years.
- Rear blade: 12 inches
As with the front blades, rear blade size can vary by year or specific market, so verify if you’re shopping for a non-U.S. model or an unusual trim configuration.
How to confirm the exact size for your vehicle
To ensure you buy the correct blades, use these verification steps before purchasing.
- Check the owner's manual or a maintenance guide for the exact blade sizes recommended for your year and trim.
- Inspect the label on the current blades; many blades have the size printed on the blade or mount.
- Measure the blade length directly if the label is missing or unreadable, using a ruler or tape measure from tip to the point where the blade attaches.
- Use an online lookup or contact a retailer with your vehicle’s year, trim, and optionally the VIN to confirm exact sizes.
Accurate sizing helps ensure proper fit, clear wiping, and optimal performance across weather conditions. If you’re unsure, many retailers offer a quick “by-vehicle” lookup that cross-checks year, trim, and region.
Summary
The typical sizing for most modern Hyundai Tucson models is 26 inches on the driver’s side, 17 inches on the passenger’s side, and a 12-inch rear blade. Always verify the exact size for your year, trim, and market by consulting the owner's manual, checking the blade labels, or using a trusted retailer’s lookup by year and VIN to avoid incorrect purchases.
