My choice of Tucson came with a sun roof as standard, not something I really wanted and I certainly wouldn't order one if it was an optional extra.
I have misgivings about sun roofs because I've had a leaky one in the past, so I asked the sales person if he'd come across many leakages with Hyundai sun roofs.
He told me they're not common now, but there have been incidents in the past, and it was discovered that most leaks/problems came from sunroofs that got hardly got any use.
I have no way of knowing if that's true or not, but I thought I'd pass it on in case it is.

I'm on my second Tucson with a panoramic roof. The last one I had for 5 years with no leaks. I would suggest making sure the rubber seals are kept clean especially if not opened much and once or twice a year lightly apply a silicone rubber lubricant as a precaution.

I have a Tiguan and they are prone to leaking, there are loads of people on the Tiguan forum with blocked drain tubes.
Vw put red spider traps on the end of the drain tubes, and then the debris would back up.
I have not heard of a Tucson having problems with the sunroof with is good.
