This new interior design in comparison to the 2022/23 is so Disappointing!! What swayed me between Kia and all otger cars in that category was the unique dash/screen integration, the best I’ve seen in a modern car to date making it stand out from its competitors who have a clumsy screen awkwardly stuck on top of dash, which is also distracting! From a top class dash/screen integration to extremely basic… I’d hoped at the very least Hyundai would keep that unique style, and perhaps change the outer body, huge mistake as all its competitors are now in line with the same interior dash, actually I’ll go a step further, the new Tucson dash is a tray to store junk! It’s awful and for that reason I’m out! I’ll not be trading in my 2023 model for this new look next year!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's interesting how the unique dash/screen integration made such an impact for you. I agree that Hyundai's previous designs stood out for their innovation and clean look. It’s unfortunate when changes feel like a step back. Do you think they might consider going back to the more integrated style in future models? Your perspective adds great value to this discussion!
@ Yes hopefully the bring back the integration… By far Tucson is leading in it’s category in price, style and drive… and I was looking forward to trading in this coming June, But when I seen this new interior??? It’s awful… not only have they changed from a beautiful sleek integrated style, but they’ve totally revamped the entire dashboard to tacky and awkward! I’d imagine trying to clean round the screen, and the small box like trays, in days would be cluttered!! It was totally ahead of its competitors, now it’s on a par. Certainly below on interior … One thing I’d like to bring attention on is the side windows not clearing rain and dirt when lowered… Must be a defect as I’ve heard many complain bout the rubber seal not in contact with screen! Do you have that experience ?
@@gobrad The Tucson really set the bar high with its previous design, and that sleek, integrated dashboard was one of its best features. It’s disappointing to hear they’ve changed it to something less practical and more awkward. Cleaning around those small trays and screens does sound like a nightmare! As for the side window issue, I haven’t experienced it personally, but I’ve definitely heard others mention the same problem with the seals. It’s surprising they haven’t addressed it yet, especially since it seems to be a common complaint. Hopefully, they’ll take this feedback seriously and make improvements. Have you thought about exploring other options, or are you still considering the Tucson despite these concerns?
