    Whether you like its “Parametric Dynamics” which is the fancy way of saying these creased, origami-looking folds in the sheet metal is completely up to you. Take in the 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Let it imprint onto your brain and process.
    Personally, it gets a bit busy for me, but I’m not the one potentially buying this you are. Besides, you’re more apt to get nit-picky about what’s inside than out since you look at that more. So let’s…
    The interior design feels more restrained than the exterior. It’s pretty tech-forward but still gets some buttons.
    One knock on the interior, there’s no volume knob or station buttons for the audio system. I thought we’d covered this with the Honda Civic. But boy, while you’re driving a volume knob is pretty key.
    My opinion, of course.
    Seat comfort here. Interior person room and cargo space as well. And you don’t sacrifice anything by way of cargo space if you opt for the hybrid. I know, because this is what that is.
    The Tucson gets a lot of options when it comes to picking the powertrain.
    And it needs to because it’s going up against a lot of big swingers in the Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4 including that formidable Prime Plug-in Hybrid version, the Honda CR-V, and VW Tiguan.

    Wow, that’s a lot of competition. Anyway, back to the Tucson. The gas models all get the same engine, the same 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that powers the Sonata and makes 187 hp. That’s not too wimpy.
    Fuel economy numbers there impress. (graphic: FWD: 26 city/33 hwy; AWD: 24 city/29 hwy) You take a bit of a hit if you opt for the AWD which will also hit your pocketbook for $1500. But not bad if you live in a place with weather.
    The Tucson also comes in a hybrid which, as I said, is what I’m driving now and a Plug-in Hybrid is coming, well, any second now.
    Out of the gate, the hybrid definitely makes me want to restate my claim about the standard powertrain. Compared to this, it feels a bit wimpy. The power here thanks to the 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired to an electric motor mounted on the transmission feels mmmm-mmmm good.
    There’s only a six-speed transmission here instead of the standard 8-speed that comes with the 2.5, but with the instant torque from the electric motor, I promise you, you won’t miss those extra two gears and the more refined ratios. You also get paddle shifters with the hybrid, which come in handy around turns or if you’re looking for an extra boost getting on to the highway.
    As for the ride, the suspension tuning feels appropriate if on the firm side for the hybrid. There are four drive modes including Sport and Snow, and this is interesting, if you’re driving on dirt or snow you can lock the power to the front and back at 50/50, so you get consistent traction.
    On the hybrid, the Tucson gets you up to 38 miles per gallon with a total range of both electric and gas of over 500 miles. Even though the gas tank here is slightly smaller than in the combustion engine.
    The base gas engine starts at about $25,000 and includes great features like an 8-inch color touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, LED headlamps, and SmartSense safety equipment.
    The SEL (graphic: ~$26,500) gets you extra safety features, smart cruise control, and heated front seats. There is a convenience package (Graphic: $29,100) for the SEL that comes with a bigger 10.25-inch touchscreen and wireless charging as well as a hands-free liftgate.
    The N-Line (graphic: $30,600) for sporty types that zazz up the Tucson with exterior and interior performance trim but no more actual power. That’s a disappointment.
    The base model on the hybrid is $29,050 but you can get close to $40,000 if you go for all the bells and whistles in the Hybrid Limited trim.
    The Plug-In Hybrid, both the SEL and Limited versions don’t have prices at the making of this video.
    There’s a reason to subscribe to the KBB TH-cam channel.
    Hyundai’s Tucson has been around since 2007. If you’ve got one of those, and you’re ready to dive into a new one, you can head to KBB.com and check out the value of your now classic SUV. Want to trade it in and set yourself up in a new one, we can help you there, too.
    I feel like I say this a lot, but this Korean automaker is doing a ton of good stuff. The Hyundai Tucson is just another reason in a string of them to check them out.

    I really hate the copy-paste complain that all reviewers say about this car regarding volume knob. You have a dedicated physical button on your steering wheel exactly for this, and I don't like others touching my music in my car. So I personally really appreciate that they are puzzled now when trying that.

    Bought the hybrid limited trim a couple months ago and I love the driving experience! Super quiet cabin (almost too quiet), nimble handling, and luxurious interior...I drove it across the country to move and it performed beautifully, especially with the adjustable cruise control steering/driver assist (aka "semi auto pilot"). The remote start and parking assist has come in handy in tight parking spaces, too.

The hybrid zip off the line is much better than my 2015 Nissan Rogue. I been averaging 35.5 mpg in real world 90 degree a/c one mainly suburban driving. I would like the added bells of the Limited but could not see almost $9,000 more.

    I just finished a road trip 4713 miles on the trip and over 12,000 miles total. I got an average of 28.3mpg combined. High on the road was 33-35mpg and low on hwy was about 26mpg. Outside temps were as high as 109 and air worked fine. Drive was smooth and quiet and I talked in the phone or dictated text messages on CarPlay. Tech was amazing and I was trying to talk my elderly parents into getting the same tech. I can strongly recommend the car and used the free maintenance(3yr).

I test drove the XT4, RDX, Denali Terrain and the Tucson killed them all for a fraction of the price. Now, we’ll see how reliable it turns out to be, but I’m willing to take that gamble with the warranty.

      I was in the same boat, i went went with the plug in Tucson. Was much cheaper than a fully loaded XT4 with much more tech. The XT4 seat were more comfortable (by a small margin mind you) but that wasn’t a deal breaker, the transmission on the XT4 was already making noise and that’s what pushed me to the Tucson. Plus the fuel savings will be insane.

They simply removed the redundancy for having two volume controls, and keeping the one that is more close to the driver. :)

    The car looks amazing in and out. I'm puzzled with the knob talk, we dont have knobs on tvs, fridges, mobiles, nothing has knobs these days, Teslas and newer vws removed them. I think is just a generational need to have a button. If you are driving and want to put volume up you will do it from the wheel, otherwise passenger will probably be doing it.

    • @Ransomed77
      @Ransomed77 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We don't speed down the highway or navigate rush-hour traffic and try to adjust our TVs or refrigerators. Adjusting the volume from the steering wheel is convenient but not near as instant a result as turning a knob. Interesting comment about "generational need to have a button" as Apple's 5th generation has reintroduced buttons (and added several more) after experimenting with a track pad. As one writer for DigitalView.com put it, "You know when you have pressed/turned a button but with a touchscreen users are never quite sure until the system responds." I guess some of us just want practicality rather than a passing fashion statement.

    • @estebanpacheco7102
      @estebanpacheco7102 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      So your issue is that you want a more instant way of adjusting your volume,than the other two controls (screen and wheel) gives you? Automatic cars must be a world changing event. Definitely this one is not for you, although there is a lower trim with buttons, knobs, etc,even gears. Also avoid electric cars, they are definitely dropping the knobs, unavoidable future.
