Tuscon gets regularly discounted here
In 2015 Tucson was new in the UK, so not much of a discount, while I got over 4000 off my present cars sticker price, and a stonking trade in something like 1000 over what I expected.
I think Mazda at the time was concerned they would lose sales, and I'm sure the dealer had a number of sales to meet for its Mazda bonus. (bird)

Hyundai is more aggressive here and hence willing to discount even when new models come out. They also not long after release special pack models. Seems they are more interested in being number 1.
Mazda can't compete due to their size.
I had my heart set on the Sportage.....until I test drove the CX 5. I felt the Mazda had a slight better grip and handling, certainly what they did with the '17 on reducing noise makes a big difference.
Regarding pickup and general fun to drive, CX 5 edges out for me as well. I got the GT and the radar assist cruise control is pretty awesome.
Honestly though, it will be your car so you have to love it. I would try to test drive on the same road or atleast a road that you drive over with your current car so you can get a feeling for a better or worse handling.
Good luck!
