Thanks for stopping by! *Quick correction* - I mentioned the different engine options, but the N-Line has the same engine as this, not upgraded power, my bad! There are still 3 engine options though 😁👍
It’s crap 1 month in and I am so disappointed, the AC way too loud, the version sent to Jamaica has noooooooooooooooo features in the entry level. It’s way too bouncy, it’s not aligned properly so when you are driving it’s like the car all over the place, the rear view camera lines are way off. The sound system is utter rubbish, the infotainment says is crap as well. The parts are already rusting. The inner material is so cheap it’s not even funny! No passenger seat seatbelt sensor. And the most annoying thing is you burn more gas in eco mode than normal mode at least 40% more! WTF!!!!! Not to mention the veryyyyyyyyyy poorrrrrrrrr gas mileage!
@Xander Diesel I don’t have a overheating issue and I am in Jamaica where it should overheat if it’s going to. So let’s say the type we have in Jamaica doesn’t overheat
@PrimeAutotainment....you said there was a lot more room in the front seats. I know you said you were 5'9"... but how is it going to be if you're 6'6"?? And I mean, NFL Offensive Lineman big! How comfortable will it be? I have a Ford Edge and it's okay in the front seat...but don't ask anyone to sit behind me! I found the Chevy Equinox was much roomier for me...but it lacks power, has maintenance issues...and on the highways here in Texas....you have this feeling that there is no way it will make it up some the hills on I-10 between San Antonio and Fort Stockton! I guess a Tucson is probably stay on my list of not considering it.
@@pubgprocamper5853 That's f.....ed up brother!. I was really considering the Hyundai Tucson, but with all the negative feedback from new owners & the most recent recalls, no way!!. I'm going with the Toyota RAV4 for sure, for reliability, quality build, sound & solid engines & cheap to run & maintain. I don't know what's going on at Hyundai, but their cars are having all sorts of serious issues, for too long. Sorry Hyundai/Kia, but sort your shit out if you want to sell 40-50k dollar cars, f......ed up cars within months of brand new is illegal, dead set!!.
You can use a button on the steering wheel to adjust volume or mute whatever you are listening to & of course access a phone paired to the car. The car has "dynamic voice controls" so you can push the button on the steering wheel and say a command to tune the radio, adjust the temperature/fan, heated/cooled seats, turn on/off heated steering wheel, and so on. You really do not have to mess with the touch system while driving once you learn the voice system; you just tell the car what to do. It is only really used to set/change settings which you should do when you are not driving. You can also use voice to ask where the nearest McD's, police station, Walmart whatever is and set that as your destination to initiate voice directions from the nav system. It is not that hard to get used to it and I am a senior citizen who does not even know how to use a smart phone & needs to get the book to program my VCR ... and, yes, I still have one LOL!
I am 718 and cannot wait for my Tucson limited hybrid to come in next month. And you are right everything is right on the steering wheel and you can talk to the car. It's an amazing vehicle. I looked at other cars and tried to build them online and anything I worked with to try to get it to what this car has was going to cost me $3000 to $5,000 more and even then it's sometimes did not give me what I wanted. I was just looking at safety tests on TH-cam one gives it zero Stars one gives it five stars. All I know is it has all the safety features that I was looking for. And that was one of the first reasons I wanted one but the second was comfort and being able to raise my seat up higher so that my hips don't hurt. And with eight positions for the passenger and driver seat and heated and air conditioned front seats and heated back seats I'm going to end up being the designated driver for all of my quilting friends when we hit the quilt shops.
I’m getting ready to buy the hybrid limited and I did the same research you all did. I do everything by voice and steering wheel and use an iPad all the time, so I prefer touch screens. Also, a super sound system was important to me, and it has Bose. Fingerprints and dust on the touch screen? It’s called a “cloth.”
A lot of people mention no knobs and frankly it doesn’t bother me. It is easy to get used to. I have gotten great mileage up to 35.8 mpg measured by fuel fill-ups, not the car computer. I got 26.5 in mostly city. Where it loses is in small trips with lots of start-stops. Goes down to about 21.5.
Picked up a brand new 2022 Tuscon SEL with a number of upgrades in Calypso Red Friday 5/20/22. I can vouch that it does in fact have wireless Apple Car Play with the wireless charger. The one and only thing I dislike is that if you turn off the auto start/stop it doesn't remember it. Each time I start my car I have to shut it off. It's a minor thing...but truth be told, so far, I love everything about my 2022 Tucson.
I bought the 22 Tucson Limited FWD about 5 months ago. There are some things that I have realized I don't like and hoped they were different. 1. Gloss black media panel. Collects a lot of dust and scratches. 2. Gloss black exterior accent pieces. They get scratched very easily. Mine already has a ton of scratches. 3. The power and fuel economy. 4. Even though the build quality is better than the previous generation. I think it could be better. 5. The leather on the seats is not of good quality.
I also drive a Tucson 2021, which was bought five months ago. The only complaint is the crackling of the display in front of the steering wheel, occasionally. Does that happen to you?
I have a 2022 as well and I baby it to prevent scratches at all no automatic car washes at all also I wash it myself with polishing microfiber towels to dry it no scratches at all it depends on the person it's a big investment like a home take care of your stuff.
I’m driving a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Limited (red). What Do I like about this beauty..!? Everything! I mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! The look, the quiet ride, the leather interior, the Bose Premium Sound System, the Panoramic Sunroof, The top of the line Safety Features: Its Camera in the front grill, camera in the back, cameras on each mirror, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Parking Distance Warning-Front & Rear, Smart Cruise Control (just hold the steering wheel. this car drives by itself), Remote Smart Parking Assist, 10.25-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, 10.25-inch Navigation System, Surround View Monitor, Blind Spot View Monitor, Shift-by-wire Gear Selector, Automatic LED Headlights, LED Daytime Running Lights, Proximity Key w/ Push Button Start…Can I continue..!?😅😂🤣And what about the 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty, 3-year/36,000-mile Complimentary Maintenance…!?
It is the best car on the road for the money. No question! I have the same vehicle in Portofino Gray, but I also love how it looks in the red. They offered me a much better deal on the Gray since it was on their lot, so it’s just how things ended up.
I like that you pay attention to the comment section and address the points people say you have overlooked or disagree with you. Keep it up! It makes me more interested to follow your videos.
2023 Tucson Limited FWD: Love everything about it. No knobs is ok and I actually like the clean look. No Tablet sticking up out of the dash! Wired Android Auto is fine when we use it (which is less and less). Using the installed Nav system more than Google Maps. Listen to our Lifetime SiriusXM all the time so again no need for the AA Google Apps. Engine power is fine for our lifestyle. Like not having to worry about a Turbo. Getting 35+ mpg so very pleased. Our insurance also went down due to all the safety systems (which are awesome).
I love the no knob touchscreen in my Ultimate as well. The entire surface is flat and uniform, so you can just wipe it off in less than one second. This makes it so it so much easier to keep clean. It baffles me that so many people complain about it. I usually use Bluetooth for my car audio rather than CarPlay, but it seems people complain about lag and other issues with wireless CarPlay regardless. So I don’t feel I’m missing out there either.
The car looks great. This guys complaints are ridiculous. Then he goes and says the things he complained about were a good quality for the vehicle. Dude you are in the wrong business. Not a good critic.
I’ve bought 6 Sonatas(1 hybrid, 1 2nd hand, 4 yr. old , owned 5 yrs.), a Vera Cruz (2nd hand, owned it for 11 years) , 2 Elantras, and a Tucson ( 2nd hand, 3yrs. Old, owned1 yr. so far). Other than a freak accident on the Vera Cruz (brake line burst soaked & destroyed entire wiring harness,needed new harness from Korea- Hyundai covered all costs including free rental car for duration), nothing but normal maintenance, and not very much of that.
Why do car companies make the all touch screen controls? It’s harder to control which is frustrating AND adds a bit to risks of driving because you have to concentrate on that instead of the road…
With the Limited it has dynamic voice control, so you just keep your attention on the road and tell the car to adjust your music, change the temp, set something in your nav system & so on. There is no need to touch anything. It takes a bit of learning & getting used to, but I'm a senior who does not know how to use a smart phone and I figured out the car. You do not need to use the touch screen controls while driving as everything is voice or on the steering wheel!
I agree with you , I leased a 2019 Hyundai Tuscan dark red , midnight edition, panaramic roof , they brought this car out to me to look at I said no way , I bought my 2019 and still love it
Anyone who has had to deal with either of those knew that was coming lol. I can't believe manufacturers still haven't caught on that nobody wants that crap.
@@JC-lk3oy I really don't care because even though I have the volume knob I never use it. The steering wheel controls of Hyundai is so easy to use. Especially comparing to the VW ID4 we recently bought, which has both touch sensitive controls of volume on steering wheel and the center infotainment. And it doesn't have the one push mute like the Hyundai does, which is probably the only reason you'd evet wanted a volume knob.
@@dearbulls it's not just the volume knob, it's the touch AC controls. Those are actually worse than volume imo. I'm glad you're happy with using your controls for your radio on your steering wheel though. Those are tactile buttons at least.
@@JC-lk3oy Yea, the AC might be an issue if you are actively changing them. I just left mine in Auto all the time. Mostly I adjust is + or - 1-2 degrees occasionally.
The one thing I dislike a lot is that I can not use the steering wheel buttons to change the radio channels unless they are my presets. The seek button is uncomfortably far away while driving and causes me to have to reach for it. I also dislike the center console compartment. Its just an open space with no organization. I also find the small compartments along each side of the center console rather useless at this point. I also feel like even when I feel as if I am being gentle ( this is possibly driver related issues) It revs forward or backwards sometimes. Those are mostly small issues and overall I love the vehicle. I love how it looks sitting next to some of the higer end SUVs. It holds its own and just has a very appealing look to it.
This is my dislike as well. In my Wrangler I can change the stations and presets with my steering wheel. But not in the hyundai and like you said. So far away. It's frustrating
The absence of knobs for simple controls is a deal breaker for me. I thought we figured this out with past versions of the Honda Civic not having a volume knob for the radio. Hey, Hyundai, don't you learn from your competition's mistakes?
Answer to complaint 1 is do what I do and have a washable mop duster in the center storage for the glossy black touch screen also the physical buttons at least for radio/music controls are on the steering wheel. I went with SEL because I can't stand leather living in the desert but I don't get cooling seats. Also for about 30 minutes on a 1000 mile road trip, the glossy touch area was reflecting sun around noon very harshly. Those are my complaints. Also, I have the SEL Hybrid and it does not have wireless carplay so I don't think any of them do My Hybrid max mileage highway on the 1000 mile road trip was 34 max and I average about 24 mpg in the city driving average meaning I don't mash the gas most of the time I try to ease on the gas after each stop
Ive got my PHEV last week and done some testing… I’m averaging around 44 mpg with occasional sports mode and 294mpg (yeah for real) when commuting on my trip to the office. To be fair the last one is basically in EV mode all the time and just a bit of engine running to warm up the inside of the car.
I carry a microfiber cloth and just wipe everything down when I park it at home. It does not take long at all and I have no issue w/ scratches inside or out. Any car will eventually get some scratches & wear from use over time. If you are concerned about scratching the screen, you can get cheap protectors to put over it on Amazon. Once you have the car programmed/set to your liking, you really seldom use the touch screen as you can do most everything via voice controls.
I traded a 2021 CR-V EX-L for a 2022 Tucson SEL Convenience/Premium. I have mixed feelings about it. I liked the engine/performance/gas mileage better in the CR-V, but I like the tech a lot better in the Tucson. I specifically got this model because I wanted wireless Carplay/Android Auto and a normal shifter. I think the only thing I gave up is a power passenger seat and the larger display (which IS nice).
I have had the 2022 SEL 2.5L for 5 months....5K miles...mixed driving...my mpg on 5k miles is....35.1...that's at 70mph or lower on the interstate...if you aren't a lead foot...the gas mileage is amazing. It's the easiest most comfortable car to drive...so quiet...so smooth...the safety features are great and tuned to be helpful but not intrusive...can't recommend it enough...like all cars these days with all the black surfaces...you'll need a swiffer.
Thanks for the review. My wife bought the Tucson 2022 Hybrid convenience and yes, we love it with one exception. Gas mileage… on the highway is not even close to 36-37 miles per gallon. For us it’s around 29-31… in the city is fine, closer to 35. That’s our only complain, we’re hoping to read or hear we’re doing something wrong with the mpg, everything else about this car is definitely A+
Hwy mileage is always worse than ciry in a hybrid, because it's the stop & go stuff that produces regenerative braking and keeps that battery level up. I have a 2014 Outback (which I love) but I would kill for 29-31mpg on the highway! (The Tucson we just bought will replace my husband's 11-yr-old Fusion Hybrid, which has myriad non-hybrid-related problems that have cost us thousands over the past 2 yrs).
@@Boomerette it's true that the highway mileage is worse than city in a hybrid but not because of regenerative braking keeping the battery charged. Remember that for a non-plugin hybrid, *all* of the energy has to come from the gas you put in so it's still the gas engine that keeps the battery charged. Any car gets worse milage the faster you go because air and rolling resistance goes up at approximately the square of your speed. So even a non-hybrid will get much better milage cruising at 30mph than 70mph if it doesn't need to brake. But in city driving, you usually do need to brake and a non-hybrid loses the energy it put into momentum as heat from the brakes. So you're right that it's the stop and go stuff that kills the milage of a non-hybrid. A hybrid can convert around 80 percent of that momentum into energy that can be used to get the car going again after it stopped. So it's both the fact that it takes much less energy to go slower and the a hybrid only loses maybe 20% of the energy when you stop then start vs. if you just kept rolling as opposed to a non-hybrid that loses 100% of that energy, is why the hybrid gets better milage at slow speed stop and go than high speed highway. But even a hybrid will get better milage going a steady 30mph than a stop and go 30mph because you still have losses associated with converting momentum to electricity, charging the battery with it and then converting that battery charge back to momentum.
Have had a 2022 Tucson Limited Hybrid for three days, 150 miles now. Agree completely about the annoying lack of wireless CarPlay connection. Also, no one has mentioned the annoying lack of a light on the drivers side window lock button so you know if it’s locked or unlocked. I would also like the remote start feature to more obviously let you know that it’s actually started. Also annoyed about the lack of a spare tire and change kit even though there’s plenty of room for it (and am getting one as soon as it’s off back order). Not sure about the efficacy of BlueLink yet compared to my old OnStar in my traded in Chevy. There seems to be significant latency. Disagree about touch screen - I find it easy to manipulate and like the clean look. The radio controls are easily manipulated from the steering wheel. I keep a small microfiber cloth in console and wipe the dash cluster & infotainment panel down each day when I first get in car. I did a major shop around looking at and test driving Subaru Outback Limited, Nissan Rogue Platinum, Lexus NX350, Volvo XC60, Chevy Equinox RS, Acura RDX, Ford Edge, Toyota RAV4 (& Pathfinder), and Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R 4motion. First choice would have been Pathfinder but just don’t need that large a vehicle anymore. All nice cars but the combination of pluses of this particular model (Tucson Limited Hybrid), including comfort while driving, safety features, gas mileage, cargo space, maintenance plan, warranty and price is very hard to beat. Not sure how the hybrid will hold up with my particular usage due dirt roads, etc. I’ve also read horror stories about Hyundai weaseling out of engine and transmission repairs while still under warranty. Hopefully, that won’t be a problem. Overall, very happy with the Tucson.
I found with my Tucson the MPG rating was under rated. I'm getting much better than advertised. It is possible Honda and Toyota just inflates there mpg's more. It it is subjective to environment you test in.
That’s good to hear! The EPA does independent testing with ideal conditions and the same factors in play for each test. Every brand that comes up with their own estimates does it with the very best possible scenario
Nigel I agree in the MPG rating range I bought my 2022 Tucson for work. The gas mileage in the gas 2.5 L depending on how aggressive I’m driving my mid level trim with technology package is anywhere between 28-32 mpg in the city and 35-45mpg on the interstate (I drive mostly VA AND NC). I drove the RAV4 and the Toyota was much louder from engine noise and honestly my Tucson was more responsive in the throttle on take off and allowed me to tap into the upgraded performance from the previous years Tucson. Also this is my second Hyundai the first was the 2 door coupe Elantra in 2013 and the EPA MPG rating was understated in that class too, so much so that Hyundai issued me a check for the difference in actual vs EPA rating in 2015 hey I like free money when car companies make a mistake
I have a Hyundai sonata hybrid right now A 2016, and I'm waiting for my 2022 hybrid Tucson Limited and I suspect that like my sonata I will be getting better mileage than they say. Every time I take mine in for an oil change they can't believe that I average for in town. Mine do I live in a small town in central Pennsylvania but we do have highways going around our town and I'm on them a lot so maybe that's why my mileage is good. But I never get below 38. The guys in the service department said they expect that I'll get more than what's suggested also. I know that the hybrid doesn't get that much more than the non-hybrid but every little bit counts nowadays and I didn't feel that it was that much more considering I'm going to have it for a very very long time.
I recently purchased a 2022 Tucson Limited AWD and have been very happy with it until a couple of days ago. All of a sudden there was no sound coming from the speakers no matter what audio source was being used. This was a known problem for 2009 - 2017 models with navigation. Also, my liftgate will not close using the key fob at all. Sometimes it doesn't close with the button on the tailgate either. Soonest appointment to diagnose was 3 weeks out. We'll see how it goes but this is disturbing.
WOW! I bought mines 16 JUNE 2022 and the sound went out around the same time (3-4wks later)! The part is on back order! Sounds like this will turn to a recall!!!
Hello, you said yes, it's all your opinion, everyone is allowed to have it and I don't want to criticize you for your opinion. But at least you shouldn't make false statements. I myself drive the Tucson 1.6 T-GDI Smart Hybrid (NX4e) from 2022 and connect both my wife's cell phone and my own to the vehicle via Bluetooth. I can make calls as well as listen to music from my cell phone, regardless of whether it's mp3 directly from the cell phone or Spotify. I don't even have to take my cell phone out of my trouser pocket, I just select the correct profile in the vehicle when I get in (the selection is offered in the display immediately after getting in) and the vehicle automatically connects to my cell phone.
I just purchased one the end of March this year. I do like the car overall and love the fuel mileage, but the one thing I simply cannot stand about this car compared to most other cars is the "new car smell". it is simply horrendous. And your complaint about the volume control is so far off. you can adjust the volume using the controls on the steering wheel. open your eyes and look. Wireless android auto is standard as well in the 2022 Tucson SEL. you probably do not have it setup right.
Dang, sorry to hear about the new car smell! Hopefully that goes away soon and I wonder if there's something that can be done for that. For the volume control - it's much more than that. It's everything all AC controls, map, nav, setup, seeking, etc...it's all touch. Yes you can do volume and seek on the steering wheel, but not AC controls or things like that. Plus, it's glossy black which shows dust and lint like crazy not to mention scratches just by looking at it. Your SEL may not have entirely touch controls like this limited though. I said the SEL has wireless android auto...it's the top Limited trim that doesn't. Any Tucson with the larger 10.25'' screen does NOT get wireless.
I'm big on safety but the fact that Hyundai has now decided on a lot of their vehicles to put their rear turn signals at the very bottom instead of high up where they should be, is a deal breaker for me. If an F150 was behind you he couldn't see them and forget about an 18 wheeler!
WOW! Thanks for the information. The ONLY reason I was even considering the Hyundai Tucson was that it touted Wireless Android Auto. I didn't realize, however, that it did NOT come in the Limited trim (with the Cooled Seats). Geez, Hyundai, get it together!
I brought a 2023 Tuscon Limited version, I test drove a SEL version of it felt its a great car but when it comes to Wireless Car apple car/andriod auto this Limited trim diasspointed me as the lower trims has got them. I wish Hyndai throws an update for them soon.
wireless apple car play and Android auto sucks! It's laggy and doesn't run well because it has to move a lot of info quickly. When you plug it in, it is fast and has zero lag so wireless is fail
I have the 2022 Tucson hybrid limited. 3 weeks now. Fuel 77L for 1300km…mostly city I love it with a few exceptions. Mirrors are not powered to fold in. Mirrors are not set to automatically adjust to driver. The seat is, but not the mirrors…hmmn. Infotainment console does not save default for multiple devices. I use a phone and a tablet. Phone is number one in the list. Tablet is number two. Phone for calls…tablet for audio podcasts music etc. I set it accordingly. However every time I start up my phone starts both hands free and Bluetooth Audio. Have to program the tablet each time I start up to play. Hopefully it can be fixed with a software update. Going thru car wash. Put car in neutral to go thru on track. I have to hold the okay button to keep it in neutral til I’m out of the car wash. No spare tire. I’m okay with that until I need to make a 12 hour highway trip thru the night.
Ive got my PHEV last week and averaged around 45 mpg with occasional sports mode and too out around 295mpg while commuting. (That’s basically all the way in EV mode with short burts from the engine due to heating and charging at the same time) Its definitely a great car although its more tame than my E90 330XD
Can you buy an aftermarket spare & stash it in the trunk? We're getting the Hybrid SEL this week--same gas mileage as our 11-yr-old Fusion Hybrid; also buying a USB portable CD player because my husband likes his huge CD collection and it'd take forever to rip them to his computer and then upload to his phone. PHEV unavailable in IL (and it'd cost a fortune to bring 240V service into our detached garage).
We've never had a car with power-folding mirrors--always had to fold manually. We're OK with that, although at 1.5" wider than my Outback, things are gonna get tight in our garage.
@@Boomerette it will add weight to the vehicle which I’m told it will decrease fuel efficiency. I will only add when I’m travelling long distance from home.
Fuel efficiency is #1, Compact, Agile, Nimble. For these reasons/criteria, I am eyeing Tucson 2022 Hybrid PHEV. Anyone already owned this, please share your experience.
I have the hybrid sel and love it and no issues since July. I would have waited for phev but with my prior car needed fuel injections. Also the chip shortage, delay in phev pricing and phev only being sold in select states, I ended up getting the hybrid. If you can put a down payment on the phev and able to wait than would be good to get. If I had the time I would have gotten. Good luck!
Just bought the 2022 hyundai tucson hybrid limited on 11-11-22 love my babe. Did some changes though... Satin black PPF with a ceramic coating and painted calipers red. Gonna get the same PPF to cover the infotainment area to prevent future scratches and what not. Truly protecting my investment.
2022 Hyundai Tucson Convenience Package. There is a lot of air rushing through the door seal at speeds of 60 mph+ At least noticable and noisey getting worse with higher speeds. Technicians replaced driver seal but it is worse. Anyone else know about this issue.? I drove another one, test model at dealership, and there was a bit of air noise as well but not as noticable as mine. Checked all the seals.
Actually just bought a 2022 Tucson Sel....all in all, for the price it's equiped nicely. That sounds odd that the upper packages don't have wireless apple/Android auto. I like it in mine. One other thing that surprises me that nobody mentions....is aside from the fact that the led instrument panel displays some nice features, the upper trim packages have that panel.... But it almost looks like they just took a tablet and plugged it in and set it up on the dash..... In my opinion the implementation is interesting but it's like it wasn't fully thought through as far as looking more aesthetically pleasing and blending into the dash
dont listen to ppl on the mpg, in a 22 mile drive halfway to my college i tried really hard to get good mpg and i got 53.7... in 22 miles. typically i get around 35 highway driving like a normal person and 30 driving like myself being a college student with no regard for speed
I've had my 2022 Tucson AWD SEL Convenience + Premium, for 6 weeks now and here are some of my observations. Looks great!!! Lots of room!!! MPG not so great in the city. +/-20mpg. Power OK, Interior comfort, if you are a bigger person, the seats are tight. I weigh 200lbs. I don't agree with the piano black infotainment. I find it easy to use and easy to wipe down once in a while. My biggest peeve, I like to have clean windows. How they designed the wipers and hood is crazy. You can't pull the wipers back so you can clean the windshield, they lift up maybe an inch before the hood blocks them. I borrowed a friend's Kia a couple of years ago, same issue. I remember saying to myself, why would anyone buy a vehicle where you can't have the ability to easily clean the windshield. Who checks the the windshield wipers when buying a vehicle? I like the Bluelink and some of the other accessories. I rate the car 7 out of 10.
when i bought my 2021 Elantra SEL I have the same problems with the wipers. it's so stupid. how can i clean snow out from under them when they don't lift up.
I can't remember where I saw it exactly but there is a setting on the Tucson that you can hit and your wipers will sit in a certain area.... Such as to change your blades or maybe clear your windshield with a snow brush. th-cam.com/video/A1vrvmv4EJU/w-d-xo.html
You do if you bought the SEL w/convenience... GAS ONLY... you do NOT get knobs and wireless if you buy the SEL w/convenience HYBRID (or PHEV). There's actually a ton of differences between what you do and don't get with the SEL Convenience trims between Gas and HEV... it's crazy how different those two (same) trims are between Gas vs HEV. P.S. I know because I bought the 2023 Tucson SEL w/convenience HYBRID! You can, however buy a cheap Wireless Android Auto plug-in adapter for any car that's wired-only and get Wireless AA... so instead of the 8-inch SEL gas infotainment, I get the 10.25 SEL HEV infotainment and I just made it wireless AA with an adapter!
@@wolfshanze5980 ours is the SEL gas 2.5 and it's wireless android auto the limited with the larger screen is NOT wireless, don't know why but it's not. Great vehicle though we love ours. In fact I liked it so much I bought a 2023 santa cruze that is essentially a tucson with a bed and really love that too, and it's the H track AWD for illinois winters.
@@TommyG11814 ya, I actually tried to get the 2022 Tucson Hybrid SEL w/convenience specifically to get the 8" AA wireless screen... I know the 10.25" screen is wired-only for AA. Hybrids are always on a waiting list, I spent 5 months on that list and my 2022 SEL w/convenience turned into a 2023 SEL w/convenience... you'd think "big whoop, no difference" bit a lot changed... H-Tex leatherette seats instead of cloth and the 8" infotainment changed to the 10.25" infotainment. So... I just bought a wireless Android Auto plug-in adapter so I can get wireless AA with the 10.25" infotainment!
I just ordered this car and it's to be in next month, I ordered the limited hybrid, and there are volume controls on the steering wheel and just like my current Hyundai sonata. Other controls on the steering wheel as usual
I agree with you in the speckled piano black, but the touch screen is perfect!! Let’s face it, knobs and switches are the past!! Even to compromise for a cleaner dash is worth it! The only thing I hate about this car is the Buble effect! and the Christmas tree lights on the front is the most ridiculous feature on a car… I think in time we’ll look bk at tgis design and laugh!! However, the interior with integrated dash is by far the best I’ve seen on any modern car!! Had they kept the outer design of its predecessor this car would be 100%… Anyways I’ve ordered the new highest spec model only because I have to keep up
To clarify "All of it is touch screen." With the exception of the top-middle display, those are capacitive touch controls - no "screen" involved. In other words, it doesn't render video like a touch screen.
He never mentioned those mysterious acceleration issues I've read about concerning the 2022 and 2023 Hyundai Tucson's. I've owned over 5 Hyundai my last being a loaded 2023 Elantra limited edition liquid metal which we absolutely love. Hyundai got it right with the model and year. Waiting for the 2024 Elantra N line to be introduced. Funny thing about Hyundai you never know what's going to be included in every model and trim from year to year in the American market. Not so much in South Korea.
The only concern I have about hybrid, especially plug-in hybrid PHEV is the lifetime of battery and the cost of replacement when the battery lifetime ends. I am not a fan of having to change the car every few years. I have been driving my current car for 17 years. I don't mind paying a bit more upfront cost for plug-in hybrid PHEV, but I want to make sure the PHEV battery could last 10 years or more, and the cost replacement still makes sense financially. It is pointless to go with $$$$ PHEV for the sake of gas cost saving for lifetime of battery, but then would have to fork out $$$$ for new battery more than value of the car itself. With that in mind, would PHEV still make sense in the long run? (at least more than 10 years ownership)?
Certainly, don't get a Tesla then. Their upfront costs are exorbitant and downright insulting. They have electrical system problems like there's no tomorrow, you can't get replacement parts for at least 6 months and the battery replacement cost is at least $11,000-$13,000 and Musk is a lying sack of shit who is gonna run that company into the ground. My dumb fuck ex and her idiot husband just got the Y and are paying almost $800 a month with almost $6,000 down for a 3/30,000 lease with no extra miles or wear and tear protection plan and had to wait 4 months to get it and are already having issues with the antiquated gear shift stick on the steering wheel after less then 8 months and the lease is based on $11,000 over sticker price. I just leased the 22 Tucson SEL FWD gas model for $1,600 above sticker with $2,000 down and $471 a month with 12k miles a year and the full wear and tear protection coverage and tax included and its still more expensive then my $38,000 2016 Passat SEL Premium for $1,600 down with $437 a month, 12k and wear and tear and tax included which had everything from Self park assist to heated front and rear seats to full safety assist system with front and rear parking sensors, power folding mirrors and hands-free trunk. I like the ride and feel and all the technology and safety systems and its a beautiful looking SUV. I don't like the terrible fuel economy like 16-18 city and 20-22 hwy, needs to be broken in, yes, but for a 4-cylinder that's equivalent to my ex's Porsche Macans which were two of the worst piles of shit ever to disgrace the Porsche logo, although Porsche makes unsafe, overpriced, ugly garbage since they stopped making quality sports cars like the 928 and 944 and stared making lousy SUVs and sedans. The 911 is their only decent vehicle. I also hate the cheap and crumby cloth interior and inlays, the lack of an auto-dimming mirror, which I will be adding on, can't drive at night without one because of my vision issues, no power lift gate, the hydraulics on the manual one are awful and unlike on my Explorer, I have to pull it about 70% of the way up before it goes up by itself and no dual-zone climate, although the air works very well. They should have stand alone options, not just expensive packages.
Longest hybrid battery & components warranty in the biz--Ford only warrantied our Fusion hybrid's battery for 8 yrs. They're not selling the plug-in Tucson here in IL.
Btty life should at least be 150k to 200k minimum if you're NOT doing proper maintenance... #1 maintenace tip to prolong high voltage battery life... change/clean the air filters for the high voltage batteries! That will keep them running good for a very, very, very long time. Worse case scenario, after a couple hundred thousand miles you have to spend $1500-$3000 on a new btty pack (worse case scenario)... before you get scared and run away, remember EV cars have less things to fix than gas cars... like you won't be changing brakes much if at all. No alternator, a few other "not in an EV car that is in a gas-only car". You'll save a lot in other maintenance over a gas car... like I said, in a worse case scenario, if it drives for 200K miles before you swap out the btty pack, and you did little more than change oil in that time... you got another 200K of low maintenance coming up. Don't even talk about how much you'll save on gas over the years. You'd come out ahead on costs even if you did have to replace the btty pack.
At 10 years or 100,000 miles, these specific batteries will no longer be produced. The production demand will be for batteries going into new vehicles. They cost so much to make that they aren’t going to have retired technology just laying around waiting for replacement requests.
Do you not know how to use steering wheel controls? You can press in the button to mute the stereo. Funny how people rarely complain about Tesla being all touch screen. Also wireless CarPlay is not great yet, would rather plug in every time. It is weird not to have it but it probably has to do with the size of the screen and Bluetooth’s limited bandwidth.
When I was car shopping, I rented a Hyundai with this touch screen and hated it! There was nothing about it that I liked. Can you imagine having to push the temp control 10 times to get the temp up 10degrees? And it beeped each time! My God, it was ridiculous. Also, trying to look away from the road and zero in on where you need to touch the screen while the car is bumping along on a freeway was downright scary yet, everyone absolutely insists on having a touch screen. The Mazda Carbon that I ended up buying has a non-touch screen, high on the dashboard and it's operated by a wheel that falls perfectly where my hand rests. It is smooth, fast, amazing to use.
1. The beep can be turned off 2. It has voice commands. You can tell it what temp to set it at. Never have to take your eyes off the road for a second. Can't say that for physical knobs
So, steering wheel controls, control the temperature in the car? Please advise. Also, I never need to mute my stereo and I've never driven a Tesla. What is your point?
I frequently use navigation while traveling. Phone based navigation projected into the screen is far more helpful than any cars standard navigation and much better than having a phone mount. I also listen to podcasts/books frequently and can do so without touching anything. Obviously people can do things without CarPlay, but it’s designs to prevent people from actually being on their phone while driving. You don’t have to use it..
Before I pull the trigger on buying this suv, is the rear turn signals as dangerous as everyone makes it sound? Would love all feedback from the people who have bought it or drove it for periods of time. My wife and I are expecting soon and I absolutely love the safety features on the Tucson, this is the only thing holding me back before buying it. I appreciate it!
If the location of the rear turn signals is the ONLY thing holding you back, you should buy it or rethink priorities. Gonna be honest, like you, i don't like the location of the lights either, I think it's dumb... but if that's the worst thing you can find in this car, then that means the car is great for you. On the location, i've seen other cars with lights down there... someone really has to be on your rear and tail-gating you to NOT be able to see them... it's less not being able to see them, and more "just not looking down there in the first place". Like I said, if that's the worst thing you can think of, you'll love this car.
The car looks great. This guys complaints are ridiculous. Then he goes and says the things he complsined about were a good quality for the vehicle. Dude you are in the wrong business. Not a good critic.
Leased an SEL 2. Months ago had to hand it back they couldn’t get Bluelink to work. Wireless apple car play is a disaster, they keep blaming apple. They had the car a month still can’t use or depend on wireless car play and you cannot go wired with an iPhone. If you are an iPhone and CarPlay user stay away. I have driven all types of Hyundai’s for over 15 years this is my last one ever.
I bought it 2 weeks ago, went to service center to fix the sensor issues, It stopped working the next day I bought it. They dragged me 2 weeks to fix the sensor now , indicator camera is not working , Hyundai customer care sucks. Dealerships trying the up sell their car saying that I have to put 10000$ downpayment to cover the negative equity. I will never recommend Hyundai to any of my friends
@@MicEffect normal or smart are just fine for interstate speed. You will notice that the 8-speed trans shifts a lot at 65+ mph. Sport is really useful for passing or beating people on an interstate ramp.
My problem with the 2022 Tucson is that I can't lift the hood to replace the windshield antifreeze. I find it's too heavy to lift. My wife has to help me. All my other vehicles had a spring assist. Gonna have to go to the dealership to add windshield washer fluid. You can't change the touchscreen with gloves on.
I'm in Canada and bought the Preferred AWD back in February. It's set to arrive next month. Didn't go with the Trend package but did get the full tint package. I also made sure to get the premium bumper to bumper warranty.
With the times being as they are. Sky High Gas Prices, I am very disappointed with Hyundai. My 2022 Tucson SEL w/ convenience and premium packages gets terrible gas mileage. I complained to the corporate HQ about the poor gas mileage and they "Copped Out" saying, contact the dealer. The window sticker says 24city/29hwy/26 combined. NOT!!! I am getting 20-21City/29Hwy/23Combined. I don't know exactly why, maybe it is the 19" wheels??? Why don't they have the correct info on the window sticker? This deception at its best, similar to Honda several years ago.
You talked about a software upgrade and items that are missing but did you know that auto makers are moving to the service based option? You want heated seats, that is a service and will cost you extra EVERY YEAR. How about that Apple Play? Another annual service charge. I could see this going into everything that is controlled by the onboard computer but isn’t government mandated. Just another way to shake down the customer for more profits to the dealers and manufacturers.
Is there even a performance or N version of the Tucson? Ive got the PHEV with N-line and to my knowledge that’s the most powerful engine option you can get.
Has plenty of down low torque for light throttle input to get up to speed. This is in comparison to a 3.6l 276hp v6. Yea its not a v6 but if you just drive it, its not that different. Except like 15-20mpg more than a traverse lol.
Maybe a bit more homework on your review would be helpful. Yes, the SEL has wireless, but it is not that great. My SEL premium has wireless and I actually use a wire. The wireless is slow and sometimes locks up. Can you really tell the difference between 187 HP and 190 HP? Is the difference between 187 and 203 a game changer? Don’t think so! If you keep your car clean the gloss black surfaces are no issue.
It’s not a homework issue. I’ve used wireless CarPlay with other Hyundai’s and never had an issue with it. It’s a choice to plug in, I thing wrong with that. But when there’s a wireless charger..but you still have to plug it in to use CarPlay/android, it’s a head scratcher. Especially considering people pay the money to upgrade to those screens. I’m complaining about it’s efficiency compared to those vehicles (which just happen to have more power and or torque). I’m not whining that it’s under powered so the argument isn’t about less power, it’s the fact that it’s less efficient EVEN THOUGH it’s less powerful. I rarely have junk or garbage in my vehicles, but lint will find it’s way and micro scratches/glare are problems regardless. Aside from the piano black everywhere, the exclusive touch controls weren’t my favorite. The Limited has the most touch controls so it doesn’t apply as much to other trims. Glad you don’t mind those things and truly I don’t really either, it’s a great overall vehicle and value
No glare issues at all... Hyundai made sure of that... Pick up is great... The Bose system is awesome... Great overall car. Bought it mostly for winter the awd and heated everything
Thanks for the review! The limited has the features I want, but the fact that it loses wireless Android auto makes me hold back until there is news of an update for it. The new 2023 Kia Sportage looks promising.
I wouldn't hold off. I test drove multiple Rav4s, a ID4, a Lexus SUV (can't remember model number but similar to the Venza), I also got to sit in a new Venza. And out of all of these small SUVs the Tucson was by far the best overall experience. My second favorite was the ID4 only because it felt like driving something from Star Trek but I just couldn't wait a year to pre order one lol
@@kkahuna4263 In 2 years the 2022 will still have 3 years of FULL COVERAGE warranty left, you won't get it for 5k, a 1990 Honda Civic will sell for that much in current market.
Are not the RADIO Controls on the steering wheel, too? Mentioning the steering wheel controls does not fit the narrative? What about the spare tyre? Is there a "spare" or is it a joke?
There’s some, but the A/C controls aren’t. The nav or map button isn’t. There’s no substitute for a regular old fashioned volume knob, in addition to other controls. No narrative here so just stop it. If you paid any attention you would know there’s much more to like about the Tucson than to NOT like. And yes, there is a spare tire.
I purchased a 2022 sel last year. I don't like driving this car in high winds. Seems I will go off the road. Otherwise it's good. Any one else notice this? .
I have a 2022 Tucson N-Line and I'm wishing it had WIRED Apple Car play. The wireless car play sucks. It consistently disconnects/reconnects while in use. It is infuriating for your call to bounce back and forth between car play and bluetooth while you're talking. And it does it randomly. I'm also pretty sure that the wireless charging ruined my phone's ability to wirelessly charge. My phone's wireless charging worked fine before I bought my Tucson. After a couple of weeks with the car, my phone would no longer wirelessly charge anywhere. This is pretty much the worst car I've ever purchased, but I'm unfortunately stuck with it now. I'll never buy a Hyundai again.
Last time I checked I didn't think any of the performance changed under the hood for the N-Line. Looked to be more of an appearance package/trim. I mean it's nice that they give you that option but from what I've read and seen it doesn't give you a performance boost like the Veloster N for example. Love these quick follow up videos, though. I also agree with you - I hate that piano black plastic design with the capacitive touch controls for the audio and HVAC system. Aside from the smaller screen it’s almost like the lower trims have more practical infotainment designs. More buttons, knobs and scroll wheels plus wireless phone projection. Kind of a disappointment in my personal opinion. Still love the look of the car and pretty much all of the other interior offerings. Hopefully they fix those negative points in future revisions.
Yes that’s right, sorry about that! I’m not sure where or why i thought it was upgraded power but I made a note to correct that in the pinned comment. Thank you for pointing that out! 😁😁
@@PrimeAutotainment Haha. I totally understand. Honestly it’s pretty annoying. I wish Hyundai would market their trims differently. Cause N and N-line can be pretty convoluted.

Thanks for stopping by! *Quick correction* - I mentioned the different engine options, but the N-Line has the same engine as this, not upgraded power, my bad! There are still 3 engine options though 😁👍
It’s crap 1 month in and I am so disappointed, the AC way too loud, the version sent to Jamaica has noooooooooooooooo features in the entry level. It’s way too bouncy, it’s not aligned properly so when you are driving it’s like the car all over the place, the rear view camera lines are way off. The sound system is utter rubbish, the infotainment says is crap as well. The parts are already rusting. The inner material is so cheap it’s not even funny! No passenger seat seatbelt sensor. And the most annoying thing is you burn more gas in eco mode than normal mode at least 40% more! WTF!!!!! Not to mention the veryyyyyyyyyy poorrrrrrrrr gas mileage!
@Xander Diesel I don’t have a overheating issue and I am in Jamaica where it should overheat if it’s going to. So let’s say the type we have in Jamaica doesn’t overheat
@PrimeAutotainment....you said there was a lot more room in the front seats. I know you said you were 5'9"... but how is it going to be if you're 6'6"?? And I mean, NFL Offensive Lineman big! How comfortable will it be? I have a Ford Edge and it's okay in the front seat...but don't ask anyone to sit behind me! I found the Chevy Equinox was much roomier for me...but it lacks power, has maintenance issues...and on the highways here in Texas....you have this feeling that there is no way it will make it up some the hills on I-10 between San Antonio and Fort Stockton!
I guess a Tucson is probably stay on my list of not considering it.
@@pubgprocamper5853 That's f.....ed up brother!. I was really considering the Hyundai Tucson, but with all the negative feedback from new owners & the most recent recalls, no way!!. I'm going with the Toyota RAV4 for sure, for reliability, quality build, sound & solid engines & cheap to run & maintain. I don't know what's going on at Hyundai, but their cars are having all sorts of serious issues, for too long. Sorry Hyundai/Kia, but sort your shit out if you want to sell 40-50k dollar cars, f......ed up cars within months of brand new is illegal, dead set!!.
@@Balkans73 I agree with you, it's not worth your time or money
You can use a button on the steering wheel to adjust volume or mute whatever you are listening to & of course access a phone paired to the car. The car has "dynamic voice controls" so you can push the button on the steering wheel and say a command to tune the radio, adjust the temperature/fan, heated/cooled seats, turn on/off heated steering wheel, and so on. You really do not have to mess with the touch system while driving once you learn the voice system; you just tell the car what to do. It is only really used to set/change settings which you should do when you are not driving. You can also use voice to ask where the nearest McD's, police station, Walmart whatever is and set that as your destination to initiate voice directions from the nav system. It is not that hard to get used to it and I am a senior citizen who does not even know how to use a smart phone & needs to get the book to program my VCR ... and, yes, I still have one LOL!
I am 718 and cannot wait for my Tucson limited hybrid to come in next month. And you are right everything is right on the steering wheel and you can talk to the car. It's an amazing vehicle. I looked at other cars and tried to build them online and anything I worked with to try to get it to what this car has was going to cost me $3000 to $5,000 more and even then it's sometimes did not give me what I wanted. I was just looking at safety tests on TH-cam one gives it zero Stars one gives it five stars. All I know is it has all the safety features that I was looking for. And that was one of the first reasons I wanted one but the second was comfort and being able to raise my seat up higher so that my hips don't hurt. And with eight positions for the passenger and driver seat and heated and air conditioned front seats and heated back seats I'm going to end up being the designated driver for all of my quilting friends when we hit the quilt shops.
Hey you sound rather tech savvy to me!
What's maximum insurance
I’m getting ready to buy the hybrid limited and I did the same research you all did. I do everything by voice and steering wheel and use an iPad all the time, so I prefer touch screens. Also, a super sound system was important to me, and it has Bose. Fingerprints and dust on the touch screen? It’s called a “cloth.”
Every car has that
I just leased a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and I absolutely love it!
Do you got the “normal” hybrid or the PHEV?
Ive got mine last week (PHEV, N-Line and adaptive suspension)
@@Doellimann Please tell us what you think about the PHEV.
I ordered the SEL Hybrid. I can’t wait for it to arrive! It’s a wonderful vehicle!
Can I borrow it
How much down and how much monthly?
A lot of people mention no knobs and frankly it doesn’t bother me. It is easy to get used to. I have gotten great mileage up to 35.8 mpg measured by fuel fill-ups, not the car computer. I got 26.5 in mostly city. Where it loses is in small trips with lots of start-stops. Goes down to about 21.5.
Picked up a brand new 2022 Tuscon SEL with a number of upgrades in Calypso Red Friday 5/20/22. I can vouch that it does in fact have wireless Apple Car Play with the wireless charger. The one and only thing I dislike is that if you turn off the auto start/stop it doesn't remember it. Each time I start my car I have to shut it off. It's a minor thing...but truth be told, so far, I love everything about my 2022 Tucson.
I stuck a piece of plastic in the slot next to the button so that it keeps it on
I bought the 22 Tucson Limited FWD about 5 months ago. There are some things that I have realized I don't like and hoped they were different.
1. Gloss black media panel. Collects a lot of dust and scratches.
2. Gloss black exterior accent pieces. They get scratched very easily. Mine already has a ton of scratches.
3. The power and fuel economy.
4. Even though the build quality is better than the previous generation. I think it could be better.
5. The leather on the seats is not of good quality.
I also drive a Tucson 2021, which was bought five months ago. The only complaint is the crackling of the display in front of the steering wheel, occasionally. Does that happen to you?
I have a 2022 as well and I baby it to prevent scratches at all no automatic car washes at all also I wash it myself with polishing microfiber towels to dry it no scratches at all it depends on the person it's a big investment like a home take care of your stuff.
@@bkozzicc1 yes
I’m driving a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Limited (red). What Do I like about this beauty..!? Everything! I mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! The look, the quiet ride, the leather interior, the Bose Premium Sound System, the Panoramic Sunroof, The top of the line Safety Features: Its Camera in the front grill, camera in the back, cameras on each mirror, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Parking Distance Warning-Front & Rear, Smart Cruise Control (just hold the steering wheel. this car drives by itself), Remote Smart Parking Assist, 10.25-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, 10.25-inch Navigation System, Surround View Monitor, Blind Spot View Monitor, Shift-by-wire Gear Selector, Automatic LED Headlights, LED Daytime Running Lights, Proximity Key w/ Push Button Start…Can I continue..!?😅😂🤣And what about the 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty, 3-year/36,000-mile Complimentary Maintenance…!?
It is the best car on the road for the money. No question! I have the same vehicle in Portofino Gray, but I also love how it looks in the red. They offered me a much better deal on the Gray since it was on their lot, so it’s just how things ended up.
The hybrid version solves the power and fuel economy concerns. And no cvt thank god
I like that you pay attention to the comment section and address the points people say you have overlooked or disagree with you. Keep it up! It makes me more interested to follow your videos.
Glad to hear it! I appreciate that. I try to keep up with the comments and read most of them at least for videos that are fairly new 👍
2023 Tucson Limited FWD: Love everything about it. No knobs is ok and I actually like the clean look. No Tablet sticking up out of the dash! Wired Android Auto is fine when we use it (which is less and less). Using the installed Nav system more than Google Maps. Listen to our Lifetime SiriusXM all the time so again no need for the AA Google Apps. Engine power is fine for our lifestyle. Like not having to worry about a Turbo. Getting 35+ mpg so very pleased. Our insurance also went down due to all the safety systems (which are awesome).
I love the no knob touchscreen in my Ultimate as well. The entire surface is flat and uniform, so you can just wipe it off in less than one second. This makes it so it so much easier to keep clean. It baffles me that so many people complain about it. I usually use Bluetooth for my car audio rather than CarPlay, but it seems people complain about lag and other issues with wireless CarPlay regardless. So I don’t feel I’m missing out there either.
I have the SEL with the convenience and premium package and absolutely love it!!! I didn’t want the limited. No regrets.
Same!!
The car looks great. This guys complaints are ridiculous. Then he goes and says the things he complained about were a good quality for the vehicle. Dude you are in the wrong business. Not a good critic.
I have one of these nd love it!
I’ve bought 6 Sonatas(1 hybrid, 1 2nd hand, 4 yr. old , owned 5 yrs.), a Vera Cruz (2nd hand, owned it for 11 years) , 2 Elantras, and a Tucson ( 2nd hand, 3yrs. Old, owned1 yr. so far). Other than a freak accident on the Vera Cruz (brake line burst soaked & destroyed entire wiring harness,needed new harness from Korea- Hyundai covered all costs including free rental car for duration), nothing but normal maintenance, and not very much of that.
Sorry for the misplacement of this comment ; it was a reply to Dan D.
Do u trust Hyundai dealerships ? Because they seem to be sketchy when it comes to service for the car
Why do car companies make the all touch screen controls? It’s harder to control which is frustrating AND adds a bit to risks of driving because you have to concentrate on that instead of the road…
With the Limited it has dynamic voice control, so you just keep your attention on the road and tell the car to adjust your music, change the temp, set something in your nav system & so on. There is no need to touch anything. It takes a bit of learning & getting used to, but I'm a senior who does not know how to use a smart phone and I figured out the car. You do not need to use the touch screen controls while driving as everything is voice or on the steering wheel!
Excellent presentation! Very informative and to the point. No "Jo wassup" BS intro or playing showmaster. How refreshing!
I agree with you , I leased a 2019 Hyundai Tuscan dark red , midnight edition, panaramic roof , they brought this car out to me to look at I said no way , I bought my 2019 and still love it
I knew the dislikes would be piano black and no knobs even without watching.
You got it lol. I saw your other comment on the regular video. Thanks for stopping by!
Anyone who has had to deal with either of those knew that was coming lol. I can't believe manufacturers still haven't caught on that nobody wants that crap.
@@JC-lk3oy I really don't care because even though I have the volume knob I never use it. The steering wheel controls of Hyundai is so easy to use. Especially comparing to the VW ID4 we recently bought, which has both touch sensitive controls of volume on steering wheel and the center infotainment. And it doesn't have the one push mute like the Hyundai does, which is probably the only reason you'd evet wanted a volume knob.
@@dearbulls it's not just the volume knob, it's the touch AC controls. Those are actually worse than volume imo. I'm glad you're happy with using your controls for your radio on your steering wheel though. Those are tactile buttons at least.
@@JC-lk3oy Yea, the AC might be an issue if you are actively changing them. I just left mine in Auto all the time. Mostly I adjust is + or - 1-2 degrees occasionally.
The one thing I dislike a lot is that I can not use the steering wheel buttons to change the radio channels unless they are my presets. The seek button is uncomfortably far away while driving and causes me to have to reach for it. I also dislike the center console compartment. Its just an open space with no organization. I also find the small compartments along each side of the center console rather useless at this point. I also feel like even when I feel as if I am being gentle ( this is possibly driver related issues) It revs forward or backwards sometimes. Those are mostly small issues and overall I love the vehicle. I love how it looks sitting next to some of the higer end SUVs. It holds its own and just has a very appealing look to it.
This is my dislike as well. In my Wrangler I can change the stations and presets with my steering wheel. But not in the hyundai and like you said. So far away. It's frustrating
I found a tray that fits in the center console on Amazon. I love it. Helps organize that deep space.
0:23. I was worried about touchscreen…. But I got used to it on the way home, fast responsive and awesome!
The absence of knobs for simple controls is a deal breaker for me. I thought we figured this out with past versions of the Honda Civic not having a volume knob for the radio. Hey, Hyundai, don't you learn from your competition's mistakes?
U have it on steering wheel
Answer to complaint 1 is do what I do and have a washable mop duster in the center storage for the glossy black touch screen also the physical buttons at least for radio/music controls are on the steering wheel.
I went with SEL because I can't stand leather living in the desert but I don't get cooling seats. Also for about 30 minutes on a 1000 mile road trip, the glossy touch area was reflecting sun around noon very harshly. Those are my complaints.
Also, I have the SEL Hybrid and it does not have wireless carplay so I don't think any of them do
My Hybrid max mileage highway on the 1000 mile road trip was 34 max and I average about 24 mpg in the city driving average meaning I don't mash the gas most of the time I try to ease on the gas after each stop
Ive got my PHEV last week and done some testing… I’m averaging around 44 mpg with occasional sports mode and 294mpg (yeah for real) when commuting on my trip to the office.
To be fair the last one is basically in EV mode all the time and just a bit of engine running to warm up the inside of the car.
I carry a microfiber cloth and just wipe everything down when I park it at home. It does not take long at all and I have no issue w/ scratches inside or out. Any car will eventually get some scratches & wear from use over time. If you are concerned about scratching the screen, you can get cheap protectors to put over it on Amazon. Once you have the car programmed/set to your liking, you really seldom use the touch screen as you can do most everything via voice controls.
I traded a 2021 CR-V EX-L for a 2022 Tucson SEL Convenience/Premium. I have mixed feelings about it. I liked the engine/performance/gas mileage better in the CR-V, but I like the tech a lot better in the Tucson. I specifically got this model because I wanted wireless Carplay/Android Auto and a normal shifter. I think the only thing I gave up is a power passenger seat and the larger display (which IS nice).
I have had the 2022 SEL 2.5L for 5 months....5K miles...mixed driving...my mpg on 5k miles is....35.1...that's at 70mph or lower on the interstate...if you aren't a lead foot...the gas mileage is amazing. It's the easiest most comfortable car to drive...so quiet...so smooth...the safety features are great and tuned to be helpful but not intrusive...can't recommend it enough...like all cars these days with all the black surfaces...you'll need a swiffer.
Thanks for the review. My wife bought the Tucson 2022 Hybrid convenience and yes, we love it with one exception. Gas mileage… on the highway is not even close to 36-37 miles per gallon. For us it’s around 29-31… in the city is fine, closer to 35. That’s our only complain, we’re hoping to read or hear we’re doing something wrong with the mpg, everything else about this car is definitely A+
My Mazda CX-5 Carbon gets 33-35mpg on the highway.
Getting about the same. Best mileage seems to be with less heat or ac use?
How fast do you drive? I'll bet it's much faster than the EPA test speed given here: www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fe_test_schedules.shtml
Hwy mileage is always worse than ciry in a hybrid, because it's the stop & go stuff that produces regenerative braking and keeps that battery level up. I have a 2014 Outback (which I love) but I would kill for 29-31mpg on the highway! (The Tucson we just bought will replace my husband's 11-yr-old Fusion Hybrid, which has myriad non-hybrid-related problems that have cost us thousands over the past 2 yrs).
@@Boomerette it's true that the highway mileage is worse than city in a hybrid but not because of regenerative braking keeping the battery charged. Remember that for a non-plugin hybrid, *all* of the energy has to come from the gas you put in so it's still the gas engine that keeps the battery charged. Any car gets worse milage the faster you go because air and rolling resistance goes up at approximately the square of your speed. So even a non-hybrid will get much better milage cruising at 30mph than 70mph if it doesn't need to brake. But in city driving, you usually do need to brake and a non-hybrid loses the energy it put into momentum as heat from the brakes. So you're right that it's the stop and go stuff that kills the milage of a non-hybrid. A hybrid can convert around 80 percent of that momentum into energy that can be used to get the car going again after it stopped. So it's both the fact that it takes much less energy to go slower and the a hybrid only loses maybe 20% of the energy when you stop then start vs. if you just kept rolling as opposed to a non-hybrid that loses 100% of that energy, is why the hybrid gets better milage at slow speed stop and go than high speed highway. But even a hybrid will get better milage going a steady 30mph than a stop and go 30mph because you still have losses associated with converting momentum to electricity, charging the battery with it and then converting that battery charge back to momentum.
I’m driving one now as a loner. I love it except for the seats being too hard. After a half hour of driving the seats kill me.
Have had a 2022 Tucson Limited Hybrid for three days, 150 miles now. Agree completely about the annoying lack of wireless CarPlay connection. Also, no one has mentioned the annoying lack of a light on the drivers side window lock button so you know if it’s locked or unlocked. I would also like the remote start feature to more obviously let you know that it’s actually started. Also annoyed about the lack of a spare tire and change kit even though there’s plenty of room for it (and am getting one as soon as it’s off back order). Not sure about the efficacy of BlueLink yet compared to my old OnStar in my traded in Chevy. There seems to be significant latency. Disagree about touch screen - I find it easy to manipulate and like the clean look. The radio controls are easily manipulated from the steering wheel. I keep a small microfiber cloth in console and wipe the dash cluster & infotainment panel down each day when I first get in car. I did a major shop around looking at and test driving Subaru Outback Limited, Nissan Rogue Platinum, Lexus NX350, Volvo XC60, Chevy Equinox RS, Acura RDX, Ford Edge, Toyota RAV4 (& Pathfinder), and Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R 4motion. First choice would have been Pathfinder but just don’t need that large a vehicle anymore. All nice cars but the combination of pluses of this particular model (Tucson Limited Hybrid), including comfort while driving, safety features, gas mileage, cargo space, maintenance plan, warranty and price is very hard to beat. Not sure how the hybrid will hold up with my particular usage due dirt roads, etc. I’ve also read horror stories about Hyundai weaseling out of engine and transmission repairs while still under warranty. Hopefully, that won’t be a problem. Overall, very happy with the Tucson.
Not even an emergency donut tire?
@@kirkf4crewdawg604 nope.
@@desireeknauer4744 2023 has a spare
I found with my Tucson the MPG rating was under rated. I'm getting much better than advertised. It is possible Honda and Toyota just inflates there mpg's more. It it is subjective to environment you test in.
That’s good to hear!
The EPA does independent testing with ideal conditions and the same factors in play for each test. Every brand that comes up with their own estimates does it with the very best possible scenario
I bought the Mazda CX-5 Carbon. I get 35 on the highway. Love that car! Was a previous Tucson owner but, soured on the dealers so, I left.
Nigel I agree in the MPG rating range I bought my 2022 Tucson for work. The gas mileage in the gas 2.5 L depending on how aggressive I’m driving my mid level trim with technology package is anywhere between 28-32 mpg in the city and 35-45mpg on the interstate (I drive mostly VA AND NC).
I drove the RAV4 and the Toyota was much louder from engine noise and honestly my Tucson was more responsive in the throttle on take off and allowed me to tap into the upgraded performance from the previous years Tucson.
Also this is my second Hyundai the first was the 2 door coupe Elantra in 2013 and the EPA MPG rating was understated in that class too, so much so that Hyundai issued me a check for the difference in actual vs EPA rating in 2015 hey I like free money when car companies make a mistake
I have a Hyundai sonata hybrid right now A 2016, and I'm waiting for my 2022 hybrid Tucson Limited and I suspect that like my sonata I will be getting better mileage than they say. Every time I take mine in for an oil change they can't believe that I average for in town. Mine do I live in a small town in central Pennsylvania but we do have highways going around our town and I'm on them a lot so maybe that's why my mileage is good. But I never get below 38. The guys in the service department said they expect that I'll get more than what's suggested also. I know that the hybrid doesn't get that much more than the non-hybrid but every little bit counts nowadays and I didn't feel that it was that much more considering I'm going to have it for a very very long time.
I have one , touchscreen and piano black no issue do not buy this variant 1.6 turbo awd is awesome.
I recently purchased a 2022 Tucson Limited AWD and have been very happy with it until a couple of days ago. All of a sudden there was no sound coming from the speakers no matter what audio source was being used. This was a known problem for 2009 - 2017 models with navigation. Also, my liftgate will not close using the key fob at all. Sometimes it doesn't close with the button on the tailgate either. Soonest appointment to diagnose was 3 weeks out. We'll see how it goes but this is disturbing.
WOW! I bought mines 16 JUNE 2022 and the sound went out around the same time (3-4wks later)! The part is on back order! Sounds like this will turn to a recall!!!
Hello, you said yes, it's all your opinion, everyone is allowed to have it and I don't want to criticize you for your opinion. But at least you shouldn't make false statements.
I myself drive the Tucson 1.6 T-GDI Smart Hybrid (NX4e) from 2022 and connect both my wife's cell phone and my own to the vehicle via Bluetooth. I can make calls as well as listen to music from my cell phone, regardless of whether it's mp3 directly from the cell phone or Spotify. I don't even have to take my cell phone out of my trouser pocket, I just select the correct profile in the vehicle when I get in (the selection is offered in the display immediately after getting in) and the vehicle automatically connects to my cell phone.
the reason why the limited does not have wireless apple car play is because of the voice commands that cannot work in tandem with apple car play
I just purchased one the end of March this year. I do like the car overall and love the fuel mileage, but the one thing I simply cannot stand about this car compared to most other cars is the "new car smell". it is simply horrendous. And your complaint about the volume control is so far off. you can adjust the volume using the controls on the steering wheel. open your eyes and look. Wireless android auto is standard as well in the 2022 Tucson SEL. you probably do not have it setup right.
Dang, sorry to hear about the new car smell! Hopefully that goes away soon and I wonder if there's something that can be done for that.
For the volume control - it's much more than that. It's everything all AC controls, map, nav, setup, seeking, etc...it's all touch. Yes you can do volume and seek on the steering wheel, but not AC controls or things like that. Plus, it's glossy black which shows dust and lint like crazy not to mention scratches just by looking at it. Your SEL may not have entirely touch controls like this limited though.
I said the SEL has wireless android auto...it's the top Limited trim that doesn't. Any Tucson with the larger 10.25'' screen does NOT get wireless.
My 2022 awd is averaging 7.6 liters per 100 km (30.5 mpg) combined after 5400 km. It is very close to the advertised mileage numbers for the 2wd.
I'm big on safety but the fact that Hyundai has now decided on a lot of their vehicles to put their rear turn signals at the very bottom instead of high up where they should be, is a deal breaker for me. If an F150 was behind you he couldn't see them and forget about an 18 wheeler!
Even on bmw wireless carlplay and Android are very laggy. So wires are better
WOW! Thanks for the information. The ONLY reason I was even considering the Hyundai Tucson was that it touted Wireless Android Auto. I didn't realize, however, that it did NOT come in the Limited trim (with the Cooled Seats). Geez, Hyundai, get it together!
I have no issues with the touch screen. I don't care if it has a piano black. I like mine.
Love mine too. I think all the people who don’t like it are people that don’t own one and never get the chance to realize how much better it is! 😉
I brought a 2023 Tuscon Limited version, I test drove a SEL version of it felt its a great car but when it comes to Wireless Car apple car/andriod auto this Limited trim diasspointed me as the lower trims has got them. I wish Hyndai throws an update for them soon.
wireless apple car play and Android auto sucks! It's laggy and doesn't run well because it has to move a lot of info quickly. When you plug it in, it is fast and has zero lag so wireless is fail
My problem is the "A" pillar is HUGE, blocking decent view of cross traffic, especially from the right.
?... Please explain
Haven’t noticed that at all.
Nice overview. Test drove hybrid and thought it handled well and had premium feel.
I have the 2022 Tucson hybrid limited. 3 weeks now. Fuel 77L for 1300km…mostly city
I love it with a few exceptions.
Mirrors are not powered to fold in.
Mirrors are not set to automatically adjust to driver. The seat is, but not the mirrors…hmmn.
Infotainment console does not save default for multiple devices. I use a phone and a tablet. Phone is number one in the list. Tablet is number two. Phone for calls…tablet for audio podcasts music etc. I set it accordingly. However every time I start up my phone starts both hands free and Bluetooth Audio. Have to program the tablet each time I start up to play. Hopefully it can be fixed with a software update.
Going thru car wash. Put car in neutral to go thru on track. I have to hold the okay button to keep it in neutral til I’m out of the car wash.
No spare tire. I’m okay with that until I need to make a 12 hour highway trip thru the night.
Wtf the neutral and ok button. Da f... that is. Straight con.... so bad so bad
Ive got my PHEV last week and averaged around 45 mpg with occasional sports mode and too out around 295mpg while commuting.
(That’s basically all the way in EV mode with short burts from the engine due to heating and charging at the same time)
Its definitely a great car although its more tame than my E90 330XD
Can you buy an aftermarket spare & stash it in the trunk? We're getting the Hybrid SEL this week--same gas mileage as our 11-yr-old Fusion Hybrid; also buying a USB portable CD player because my husband likes his huge CD collection and it'd take forever to rip them to his computer and then upload to his phone. PHEV unavailable in IL (and it'd cost a fortune to bring 240V service into our detached garage).
We've never had a car with power-folding mirrors--always had to fold manually. We're OK with that, although at 1.5" wider than my Outback, things are gonna get tight in our garage.
@@Boomerette it will add weight to the vehicle which I’m told it will decrease fuel efficiency. I will only add when I’m travelling long distance from home.
Fuel efficiency is #1, Compact, Agile, Nimble. For these reasons/criteria, I am eyeing Tucson 2022 Hybrid PHEV. Anyone already owned this, please share your experience.
I have the hybrid sel and love it and no issues since July. I would have waited for phev but with my prior car needed fuel injections. Also the chip shortage, delay in phev pricing and phev only being sold in select states, I ended up getting the hybrid. If you can put a down payment on the phev and able to wait than would be good to get. If I had the time I would have gotten. Good luck!
Just bought the 2022 hyundai tucson hybrid limited on 11-11-22 love my babe. Did some changes though... Satin black PPF with a ceramic coating and painted calipers red. Gonna get the same PPF to cover the infotainment area to prevent future scratches and what not. Truly protecting my investment.
The only thing I wish they would change is to put the air vents in the ceiling instead of in the console for the back passengers
2022 Hyundai Tucson Convenience Package. There is a lot of air rushing through the door seal at speeds of 60 mph+ At least noticable and noisey getting worse with higher speeds. Technicians replaced driver seal but it is worse. Anyone else know about this issue.? I drove another one, test model at dealership, and there was a bit of air noise as well but not as noticable as mine. Checked all the seals.
I think I'm hearing it from the sunroof. Was considering getting sound deadening in the doors. Not sure yet.
yeah, it's a really loud car. Sounds like my sunroof is actually open unless I have the cover closed. Defeats the reason I wanted a sunroof.
Actually just bought a 2022 Tucson Sel....all in all, for the price it's equiped nicely.
That sounds odd that the upper packages don't have wireless apple/Android auto. I like it in mine.
One other thing that surprises me that nobody mentions....is aside from the fact that the led instrument panel displays some nice features, the upper trim packages have that panel.... But it almost looks like they just took a tablet and plugged it in and set it up on the dash..... In my opinion the implementation is interesting but it's like it wasn't fully thought through as far as looking more aesthetically pleasing and blending into the dash
I actually had to get my front window tinted more. I live in Louisiana and the glare on all that black was unbearable. We've had over 100 for 2 weeks.
I wish they offered the red color on the hybrid Tuscon!😞
dont listen to ppl on the mpg, in a 22 mile drive halfway to my college i tried really hard to get good mpg and i got 53.7... in 22 miles. typically i get around 35 highway driving like a normal person and 30 driving like myself being a college student with no regard for speed
I've had my 2022 Tucson AWD SEL Convenience + Premium, for 6 weeks now and here are some of my observations. Looks great!!! Lots of room!!! MPG not so great in the city. +/-20mpg. Power OK, Interior comfort, if you are a bigger person, the seats are tight. I weigh 200lbs. I don't agree with the piano black infotainment. I find it easy to use and easy to wipe down once in a while. My biggest peeve, I like to have clean windows. How they designed the wipers and hood is crazy. You can't pull the wipers back so you can clean the windshield, they lift up maybe an inch before the hood blocks them. I borrowed a friend's Kia a couple of years ago, same issue. I remember saying to myself, why would anyone buy a vehicle where you can't have the ability to easily clean the windshield. Who checks the the windshield wipers when buying a vehicle? I like the Bluelink and some of the other accessories. I rate the car 7 out of 10.
when i bought my 2021 Elantra SEL I have the same problems with the wipers. it's so stupid. how can i clean snow out from under them when they don't lift up.
I can't remember where I saw it exactly but there is a setting on the Tucson that you can hit and your wipers will sit in a certain area.... Such as to change your blades or maybe clear your windshield with a snow brush.
th-cam.com/video/A1vrvmv4EJU/w-d-xo.html
Read the manual. It will tell you how to lift wipers off windshield
We just got the 2023 Sel w convince it's outstanding and you get a volume and channel knob and the wireless connectivity, great vehicle
You do if you bought the SEL w/convenience... GAS ONLY... you do NOT get knobs and wireless if you buy the SEL w/convenience HYBRID (or PHEV). There's actually a ton of differences between what you do and don't get with the SEL Convenience trims between Gas and HEV... it's crazy how different those two (same) trims are between Gas vs HEV.
P.S. I know because I bought the 2023 Tucson SEL w/convenience HYBRID! You can, however buy a cheap Wireless Android Auto plug-in adapter for any car that's wired-only and get Wireless AA... so instead of the 8-inch SEL gas infotainment, I get the 10.25 SEL HEV infotainment and I just made it wireless AA with an adapter!
@@wolfshanze5980 ours is the SEL gas 2.5 and it's wireless android auto the limited with the larger screen is NOT wireless, don't know why but it's not. Great vehicle though we love ours. In fact I liked it so much I bought a 2023 santa cruze that is essentially a tucson with a bed and really love that too, and it's the H track AWD for illinois winters.
@@TommyG11814 ya, I actually tried to get the 2022 Tucson Hybrid SEL w/convenience specifically to get the 8" AA wireless screen... I know the 10.25" screen is wired-only for AA.
Hybrids are always on a waiting list, I spent 5 months on that list and my 2022 SEL w/convenience turned into a 2023 SEL w/convenience... you'd think "big whoop, no difference" bit a lot changed... H-Tex leatherette seats instead of cloth and the 8" infotainment changed to the 10.25" infotainment.
So... I just bought a wireless Android Auto plug-in adapter so I can get wireless AA with the 10.25" infotainment!
I just ordered this car and it's to be in next month, I ordered the limited hybrid, and there are volume controls on the steering wheel and just like my current Hyundai sonata. Other controls on the steering wheel as usual
Nice video, very informative and well made
Thank you!
@@PrimeAutotainment You're welcome 😁👍🏻
I have the hybrid SEL and there's an actual volume knob. MPG, however, is far below what Hyundai advertises.
Good Lord! Get off the piano black tune! I have one, and I don't have any problems with it!
I agree with you in the speckled piano black, but the touch screen is perfect!! Let’s face it, knobs and switches are the past!! Even to compromise for a cleaner dash is worth it!
The only thing I hate about this car is the Buble effect! and the Christmas tree lights on the front is the most ridiculous feature on a car… I think in time we’ll look bk at tgis design and laugh!! However, the interior with integrated dash is by far the best I’ve seen on any modern car!! Had they kept the outer design of its predecessor this car would be 100%… Anyways I’ve ordered the new highest spec model only because I have to keep up
To clarify "All of it is touch screen." With the exception of the top-middle display, those are capacitive touch controls - no "screen" involved. In other words, it doesn't render video like a touch screen.
Can't wait to get mine 😍
here in Paraguay the Tucson 2022 Limited has Android Auto and Wireless Apple Carplay, even in the most basic version
He never mentioned those mysterious acceleration issues I've read about concerning the 2022 and 2023 Hyundai Tucson's. I've owned over 5 Hyundai my last being a loaded 2023 Elantra limited edition liquid metal which we absolutely love. Hyundai got it right with the model and year. Waiting for the 2024 Elantra N line to be introduced. Funny thing about Hyundai you never know what's going to be included in every model and trim from year to year in the American market. Not so much in South Korea.
The only concern I have about hybrid, especially plug-in hybrid PHEV is the lifetime of battery and the cost of replacement when the battery lifetime ends. I am not a fan of having to change the car every few years. I have been driving my current car for 17 years. I don't mind paying a bit more upfront cost for plug-in hybrid PHEV, but I want to make sure the PHEV battery could last 10 years or more, and the cost replacement still makes sense financially. It is pointless to go with $$$$ PHEV for the sake of gas cost saving for lifetime of battery, but then would have to fork out $$$$ for new battery more than value of the car itself. With that in mind, would PHEV still make sense in the long run? (at least more than 10 years ownership)?
Certainly, don't get a Tesla then. Their upfront costs are exorbitant and downright insulting. They have electrical system problems like there's no tomorrow, you can't get replacement parts for at least 6 months and the battery replacement cost is at least $11,000-$13,000 and Musk is a lying sack of shit who is gonna run that company into the ground. My dumb fuck ex and her idiot husband just got the Y and are paying almost $800 a month with almost $6,000 down for a 3/30,000 lease with no extra miles or wear and tear protection plan and had to wait 4 months to get it and are already having issues with the antiquated gear shift stick on the steering wheel after less then 8 months and the lease is based on $11,000 over sticker price. I just leased the 22 Tucson SEL FWD gas model for $1,600 above sticker with $2,000 down and $471 a month with 12k miles a year and the full wear and tear protection coverage and tax included and its still more expensive then my $38,000 2016 Passat SEL Premium for $1,600 down with $437 a month, 12k and wear and tear and tax included which had everything from Self park assist to heated front and rear seats to full safety assist system with front and rear parking sensors, power folding mirrors and hands-free trunk. I like the ride and feel and all the technology and safety systems and its a beautiful looking SUV. I don't like the terrible fuel economy like 16-18 city and 20-22 hwy, needs to be broken in, yes, but for a 4-cylinder that's equivalent to my ex's Porsche Macans which were two of the worst piles of shit ever to disgrace the Porsche logo, although Porsche makes unsafe, overpriced, ugly garbage since they stopped making quality sports cars like the 928 and 944 and stared making lousy SUVs and sedans. The 911 is their only decent vehicle. I also hate the cheap and crumby cloth interior and inlays, the lack of an auto-dimming mirror, which I will be adding on, can't drive at night without one because of my vision issues, no power lift gate, the hydraulics on the manual one are awful and unlike on my Explorer, I have to pull it about 70% of the way up before it goes up by itself and no dual-zone climate, although the air works very well. They should have stand alone options, not just expensive packages.
Lifetime warranty on battery
Longest hybrid battery & components warranty in the biz--Ford only warrantied our Fusion hybrid's battery for 8 yrs. They're not selling the plug-in Tucson here in IL.
Btty life should at least be 150k to 200k minimum if you're NOT doing proper maintenance... #1 maintenace tip to prolong high voltage battery life... change/clean the air filters for the high voltage batteries! That will keep them running good for a very, very, very long time. Worse case scenario, after a couple hundred thousand miles you have to spend $1500-$3000 on a new btty pack (worse case scenario)... before you get scared and run away, remember EV cars have less things to fix than gas cars... like you won't be changing brakes much if at all. No alternator, a few other "not in an EV car that is in a gas-only car". You'll save a lot in other maintenance over a gas car... like I said, in a worse case scenario, if it drives for 200K miles before you swap out the btty pack, and you did little more than change oil in that time... you got another 200K of low maintenance coming up. Don't even talk about how much you'll save on gas over the years. You'd come out ahead on costs even if you did have to replace the btty pack.
At 10 years or 100,000 miles, these specific batteries will no longer be produced. The production demand will be for batteries going into new vehicles. They cost so much to make that they aren’t going to have retired technology just laying around waiting for replacement requests.
Do you not know how to use steering wheel controls? You can press in the button to mute the stereo. Funny how people rarely complain about Tesla being all touch screen. Also wireless CarPlay is not great yet, would rather plug in every time. It is weird not to have it but it probably has to do with the size of the screen and Bluetooth’s limited bandwidth.
When I was car shopping, I rented a Hyundai with this touch screen and hated it! There was nothing about it that I liked. Can you imagine having to push the temp control 10 times to get the temp up 10degrees? And it beeped each time! My God, it was ridiculous. Also, trying to look away from the road and zero in on where you need to touch the screen while the car is bumping along on a freeway was downright scary yet, everyone absolutely insists on having a touch screen. The Mazda Carbon that I ended up buying has a non-touch screen, high on the dashboard and it's operated by a wheel that falls perfectly where my hand rests. It is smooth, fast, amazing to use.
1. The beep can be turned off
2. It has voice commands. You can tell it what temp to set it at. Never have to take your eyes off the road for a second. Can't say that for physical knobs
So, steering wheel controls, control the temperature in the car? Please advise. Also, I never need to mute my stereo and I've never driven a Tesla. What is your point?
@@scottwalmsley Oh, you win!
I love the touch screen
I dont understand why people care about Apple car play and Android auto so much. Just drive the car.
I frequently use navigation while traveling. Phone based navigation projected into the screen is far more helpful than any cars standard navigation and much better than having a phone mount.
I also listen to podcasts/books frequently and can do so without touching anything.
Obviously people can do things without CarPlay, but it’s designs to prevent people from actually being on their phone while driving.
You don’t have to use it..
GPS
Agreed. Especially when you can stream wireless via Bluetooth. Which is exactly what I do.
Before I pull the trigger on buying this suv, is the rear turn signals as dangerous as everyone makes it sound?
Would love all feedback from the people who have bought it or drove it for periods of time. My wife and I are expecting soon and I absolutely love the safety features on the Tucson, this is the only thing holding me back before buying it. I appreciate it!
If the location of the rear turn signals is the ONLY thing holding you back, you should buy it or rethink priorities. Gonna be honest, like you, i don't like the location of the lights either, I think it's dumb... but if that's the worst thing you can find in this car, then that means the car is great for you. On the location, i've seen other cars with lights down there... someone really has to be on your rear and tail-gating you to NOT be able to see them... it's less not being able to see them, and more "just not looking down there in the first place". Like I said, if that's the worst thing you can think of, you'll love this car.
My 2023 non turbo has no power when starting out at red light. That’s my biggest complaint!
Thank you! I don’t understand why lower trims have wireless CarPlay 🤷
The car looks great. This guys complaints are ridiculous. Then he goes and says the things he complsined about were a good quality for the vehicle. Dude you are in the wrong business. Not a good critic.
Love this review. Great job!
Thank you!
Leased an SEL 2. Months ago had to hand it back they couldn’t get Bluelink to work. Wireless apple car play is a disaster, they keep blaming apple. They had the car a month still can’t use or depend on wireless car play and you cannot go wired with an iPhone. If you are an iPhone and CarPlay user stay away. I have driven all types of Hyundai’s for over 15 years this is my last one ever.
I bought it 2 weeks ago, went to service center to fix the sensor issues, It stopped working the next day I bought it. They dragged me 2 weeks to fix the sensor now , indicator camera is not working , Hyundai customer care sucks. Dealerships trying the up sell their car saying that I have to put 10000$ downpayment to cover the negative equity. I will never recommend Hyundai to any of my friends
Will a bluetooth to USB dongle solve the issue of not having wireless android auto?

@@PrimeAutotainment no worries. this is one of the few weird exception among all other n lines.
I love my 2022 SEL Tucson. The engine is a little underpowered but it’s definitely not slow. Sport mode really unlocks the engine.
So I guess putting it in auto is the best option for highway driving or switching it to sport?

My problem with the 2022 Tucson is that I can't lift the hood to replace the windshield antifreeze. I find it's too heavy to lift. My wife has to help me. All my other vehicles had a spring assist. Gonna have to go to the dealership to add windshield washer fluid. You can't change the touchscreen with gloves on.

I heard the 2022/2023 Tucson had engine, transmission problems and poor headlights for night driving. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I'm in Canada and bought the Preferred AWD back in February. It's set to arrive next month. Didn't go with the Trend package but did get the full tint package. I also made sure to get the premium bumper to bumper warranty.
With the times being as they are. Sky High Gas Prices, I am very disappointed with Hyundai. My 2022 Tucson SEL w/ convenience and premium packages gets terrible gas mileage. I complained to the corporate HQ about the poor gas mileage and they "Copped Out" saying, contact the dealer. The window sticker says 24city/29hwy/26 combined. NOT!!! I am getting 20-21City/29Hwy/23Combined. I don't know exactly why, maybe it is the 19" wheels??? Why don't they have the correct info on the window sticker? This deception at its best, similar to Honda several years ago.
You talked about a software upgrade and items that are missing but did you know that auto makers are moving to the service based option? You want heated seats, that is a service and will cost you extra EVERY YEAR. How about that Apple Play? Another annual service charge. I could see this going into everything that is controlled by the onboard computer but isn’t government mandated.
Just another way to shake down the customer for more profits to the dealers and manufacturers.
The remote start will not work unless you still have there bluetooth service after there 3 year warranty is over .
Is there even a performance or N version of the Tucson?
Ive got the PHEV with N-line and to my knowledge that’s the most powerful engine option you can get.
I'm not able to make a decision between tucson preferred trend and cr v sports. This video kinda helped but I'm still confused. Any help?
Is the passenger seat slid all the way back? I like that the car seat fits, but my family is tall.
I got the phev model I'm about to do a don't like video too, but I do love the car 🤣
They make a hybrid version for fuel efficiency
Has plenty of down low torque for light throttle input to get up to speed. This is in comparison to a 3.6l 276hp v6. Yea its not a v6 but if you just drive it, its not that different. Except like 15-20mpg more than a traverse lol.
... but there are volume buttons on the steering wheel. Still, not a fan of the piano black either.
We just enjoy watching him
Maybe a bit more homework on your review would be helpful. Yes, the SEL has wireless, but it is not that great. My SEL premium has wireless and I actually use a wire. The wireless is slow and sometimes locks up. Can you really tell the difference between 187 HP and 190 HP? Is the difference between 187 and 203 a game changer? Don’t think so! If you keep your car clean the gloss black surfaces are no issue.
It’s not a homework issue. I’ve used wireless CarPlay with other Hyundai’s and never had an issue with it. It’s a choice to plug in, I thing wrong with that. But when there’s a wireless charger..but you still have to plug it in to use CarPlay/android, it’s a head scratcher. Especially considering people pay the money to upgrade to those screens.
I’m complaining about it’s efficiency compared to those vehicles (which just happen to have more power and or torque). I’m not whining that it’s under powered so the argument isn’t about less power, it’s the fact that it’s less efficient EVEN THOUGH it’s less powerful.
I rarely have junk or garbage in my vehicles, but lint will find it’s way and micro scratches/glare are problems regardless. Aside from the piano black everywhere, the exclusive touch controls weren’t my favorite. The Limited has the most touch controls so it doesn’t apply as much to other trims.
Glad you don’t mind those things and truly I don’t really either, it’s a great overall vehicle and value
No glare issues at all... Hyundai made sure of that... Pick up is great... The Bose system is awesome... Great overall car. Bought it mostly for winter the awd and heated everything
Maybe you will know?
engine block cylinder liners. Are they cangeble? Or these engines is like throw away after 40000-100000km?
Thanks for the review! The limited has the features I want, but the fact that it loses wireless Android auto makes me hold back until there is news of an update for it. The new 2023 Kia Sportage looks promising.
I wouldn't hold off. I test drove multiple Rav4s, a ID4, a Lexus SUV (can't remember model number but similar to the Venza), I also got to sit in a new Venza. And out of all of these small SUVs the Tucson was by far the best overall experience. My second favorite was the ID4 only because it felt like driving something from Star Trek but I just couldn't wait a year to pre order one lol
Very good review.
The side of the Tuscon is frumpy and looks like a 90s Hyundai design, just not in a good way.
Agree with everything except what you like that said remember the engine reliability lots of recalls I'll wait 2 years and get it for $5,000
Ok boomer
You will not get that car in 2 years for 5,000.
@@murielfields7445 you'll see since you own one better you than me
@@kkahuna4263 In 2 years the 2022 will still have 3 years of FULL COVERAGE warranty left, you won't get it for 5k, a 1990 Honda Civic will sell for that much in current market.
I wish I could figure out how to get the weather report on the mentor, it just says unavailable, I called the 800# with no help.
Are not the RADIO Controls on the steering wheel, too? Mentioning the steering wheel controls does not fit the narrative? What about the spare tyre? Is there a "spare" or is it a joke?
There’s some, but the A/C controls aren’t. The nav or map button isn’t. There’s no substitute for a regular old fashioned volume knob, in addition to other controls.
No narrative here so just stop it. If you paid any attention you would know there’s much more to like about the Tucson than to NOT like.
And yes, there is a spare tire.
Also, who likes there own comment?
I purchased a 2022 sel last year. I don't like driving this car in high winds. Seems I will go off the road. Otherwise it's good. Any one else notice this?

3:05. Now, the next thing…. _All the hand waving!_
I have a 2022 Tucson N-Line and I'm wishing it had WIRED Apple Car play. The wireless car play sucks. It consistently disconnects/reconnects while in use. It is infuriating for your call to bounce back and forth between car play and bluetooth while you're talking. And it does it randomly. I'm also pretty sure that the wireless charging ruined my phone's ability to wirelessly charge. My phone's wireless charging worked fine before I bought my Tucson. After a couple of weeks with the car, my phone would no longer wirelessly charge anywhere. This is pretty much the worst car I've ever purchased, but I'm unfortunately stuck with it now. I'll never buy a Hyundai again.
Why complaining about not having volume knob when you have volume control on the wheel?
It’s much more than a volume knob. It’s literally everything. Tuning…fan speed, temperature controls….
Last time I checked I didn't think any of the performance changed under the hood for the N-Line. Looked to be more of an appearance package/trim.
I mean it's nice that they give you that option but from what I've read and seen it doesn't give you a performance boost like the Veloster N for example.
Love these quick follow up videos, though.
I also agree with you - I hate that piano black plastic design with the capacitive touch controls for the audio and HVAC system.
Aside from the smaller screen it’s almost like the lower trims have more practical infotainment designs. More buttons, knobs and scroll wheels plus wireless phone projection. Kind of a disappointment in my personal opinion. Still love the look of the car and pretty much all of the other interior offerings. Hopefully they fix those negative points in future revisions.
Yes that’s right, sorry about that! I’m not sure where or why i thought it was upgraded power but I made a note to correct that in the pinned comment. Thank you for pointing that out! 😁😁
@@PrimeAutotainment Haha. I totally understand. Honestly it’s pretty annoying. I wish Hyundai would market their trims differently. Cause N and N-line can be pretty convoluted.
