- The Tuscon is totally redesigned for 2022 and Hyundai has elevated the whole platform. On the outside you will find all new sheetmetal, unique wheels, and LED lighting. On the inside you will be greeted to leather seating, all new 10in infotainment screen, and 10in gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.5L inline-4 producing 187HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the NEW 2022 Hyundai Tucson a BETTER compact SUV than a Mazda CX-5?

I have this trim as a hybrid. Best car I've owned. Best car in its class. I can't believe this is a Hyundai, I always had a negative review of the brand but this car changed my mind completely!
I test drove mine for 3 seconds and then bought it. SEL has radio and climate buttons/knobs. just love this car...so quiet...smooth power...did 60 miles on the interstate....40 mpg with the 2.5L
Keep it up man! Good stuff as usual
You know that we appreciate you greatly!
I ordered the Tucson Ultimate Hybrid and just can't wait to get it in the next week or so. This guy is the best at reviews and gives his opinion which is great, love the snack comments and just quality in detail top to bottom. I watch videos of cars I'm not getting just to see his views on them as well, to see if he can sway my opinion. Great work as always.
I saw one of these in my rear view mirror today and the daytime running lights with that new front grill looked so 21st Century futuristic. I did not know it was a Hyundai Tuscon until I saw this review tonight. Great Review but now I am leaning towards the Tuscon as opposed to the CX5. I just wish this futuristic drive had a way to reach half warp speed!!!
I saw the same front grill and daytime running lights in my rear view mirror recently too and loved it. I’ve taken it for a test drive as well, a bit sluggish when increasing speed to merge in traffic but that was the FWD not the AWD.
I am also looking at the CX-30 and Jeep Compass High Altitude.
WOW! The interior blew me away. Way to go Hyundai for designing the best interior for midsize SUVS. Love It!
It’s not a midsized suv
Not a midsize, and definitely not the best, although it is towards the top in terms of design
I did lots of research this past week on various SUVs and I ended up with my top 2 on the list: 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited vs 2023 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Signature.
These two cars have the most of the tech & specs I was looking for.
But with 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited, gosh, it's loaded with safety features & driver assist features!
There's so much more on Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited!
And yes, I ended up coming home with the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited! 🥰
Then I canceled my other appointments for test drive of Mazda, Honda, and Subaru. 😁
Bought a Tuscan Hybrid Limited a couple of weeks ago. The hybrid is the way to go for extra power. Comfortable, quiet ride. So far, I love everything about it.
Not sure what the hysteria is about no knobs on the center console. Not an issue with the ability to manage most everything you need from the steering wheel.
The hybrid model is really fun to drive
No buttons/Knobs .. Elon : 😂
I originally thought the angles on the door was a reflection. What do I know! Thanks to Joe and the rockstar behind the camera LORI !!!
Metric conversions:
Torque: 240Nm
Top speed: 192kmh
Fuel consumptions: 9.90/100km in city, 7.94l/100km on highway
Weight: 1680kg
Boot space: 1095l with seats up; 2284l with seats down
Love your reviews! Big thumbs up to the queen of the camera! I heard through the grape vine an N Line was in the works... hopefully with a little more umph?
Don't expect much. I think it's already out but in this instance, the N-Line is really just an appearance pack.
Like the interior, not so much that exterior design. Still wish it had more buttons and knobs and less glossy black plastic.
Yeah the glossy black plastic is a fingerprint nightmare and prone to scratches like hell.
@@alexmilkis3654 yep it would drive me bonkers
I bought the hybrid version about a month ago. Really enjoying it and it's definitely faster. Great video.
How is the AC in the Hybrid version
Thanks, Joe! Loved the video. Could you do a review of the 2022 Hyndai Tuscon N Line edition?
Joe great review 👍🏼 Liking that Tucson. My family is a 3 Hyundai family and we love them
Wonderful review!
I like the grill but I’m not to sure about the angled detail on the sides. If the body line from the fender connected to the one on the door, the angle going down would better
match the angle on the rear door. Overall it’s a nice looking choice in that market. Thanks for sharing it and well done guys! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I went and test drove a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited recently and the interior is beautiful and 0 complaints. However that thing barely makes it up to ALMOST highway speeds (50ish) with the accelerator FLOORED before the end of the onramp. Was fine-ish once you get cruising but merges can be nervewracking in it
Let's hope the hybrid has a bit more 0-60 oomph. I happen to like the geometric look to the sides, definitely makes it look like fender flares. NOT a fan of the no-button/knob look, I need something to grab, no pokey! (Well, pokey is good in the right context). Thanks for this one, Joe! Lori, thank you for the marathon you run, daily, to get all this goodness to us
Test drove a "Blue" trim hybrid and got to look over the naturally aspirated "Limited" a few weeks back. I'll tell you what, the Limited trim in the new Tucson is awesome. Truly a level or two above it's class. The infotainment system is very well done, and very snappy and intuitive - even without conventional knobs/buttons. I do think the exterior design is a take it or leave it affair. However, I liked it so much I ended up putting a deposit down through Hyundai USA on a plug in hybrid Limited in the same color (shimmering silver) with gray interior. Unfortunately, they aren't for sale yet here in the USA. I could be waiting a couple of months for delivery.
Love the taillights!!!
Joe, I am going to wait for the refresh of the Kia Sportage. I like the design out and in the cabin.
Hey Joe this may sound weird but could you give us a carpet quality review while you show the cars???
That is actually a great idea Tristan. I know some cars that have terrible carpet materials.
Great suggestion!
wow im suprised no one has thought of this. good suggestion
it's Hyundai not a Rolls :)
@@RaitisRides wish I could subscribe to you more than once! You rock man!
loving this tucson. definitely on my list
Good review Joe! Over styled exterior but better than RAV 4. I can live with the interior even without knobs or dials. I’d wait for the updated CX5 (50?) and the Sportage.
Hi joe you make awsome vids my kid loves watching you and when you say "zonk" he is like ZONK ALERT. You also helped me find my next car you are awesome thank you!
That gloss black is more than in the Chrysler Building !!
The front grill looks absolutely incredible and the rest of the design is quite angular and sporty while just being shy of gaudy. The interior looks sort of bland, but the infotainment system makes up for it at this price point. Overall definitely a car to shortlist when buying a midsize SUV.
Its the most hideous front end for me, like they tried too hard to make it cool when in actuality its just a cheap car.
@@Oakleyworld I mean... they have to do something to stand out right? Most other cars in this segment are good but quite boring and not striking enough. At first even i thought the looks was a bit too odd... but it seems to look better now after comparing what other cars have to offer in terms of looks
@@shinsouhitoshi9811 Good point, I agree.
My boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯👍and funny 😆😄🤣great 👍💯💯💯💯💯💯
Cant wait for the Nline review of this car man!!
I got the SEL Trim. It rides super nice and it is very spacious. I love it.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022🎄🎅🥂🎉
I have a 2021 CX-5 Carbon edition, while my wife has a "Blue" version of the 2022 Tucson Hybrid. I research the heck out of vehicles before buying. I think the CX-5 blew away the competition...until I drove this Hyundai Tucson. It's even quieter than the CX-5, a bit more roomy, has 4-wheel drive versus my CX-5's two-wheel drive. And the Tucson hybrid get 35-38 mpg.
In this class of small SUV, I say the Hyundai Tucson is now #1, but the Mazda CX-5 is still an awesome car for the money (still rather buy this reliable car than a BMW 3-Series at almost twice the price!)
Thanks Joe. However, you didn't clearly state your preference at the end of the video. Did you declare a winner, versus the Mazda sir??? Great camerawork!
i’ve had the 2022 tucson limited for over a month now and i LOVE it!
How is it going?
The dashboard and center console are so sleek n clean looking and clutter free
I agree with your assessment on the overall look of the CR-V. The most current iteration is the first one that doesn’t burn my eyes when I accidentally look at it on the road.
We love driving it ! Its so smooth and spacious . We love it so much 😍
Joe, will you be able to get access to the hybrid version of this? I'd love to see you review that.
I love the CX-5!
its a great redesign,, I test drove this a few months ago and wanted to like it but I just hate the hepatic feedback controls for a/c and other options.
I bought a 2023 just like your test vehicle two days ago. Also live in Florida and regularly drive on that race track known as I-95. It has more than enough power to "Get out of its own way". I have no issues merging on the freeway or keeping up with (or passing) the traffic on it. I'm coming from a Subaru Legacy XT with the 260 HP engine so I understand what quick is. The Tucson is fine (average). Almost every reviewer parrots that same line about it being underpowered when it's not. It's like any other compact crossover with its base engine and more than adequate for daily driving. Honestly don't know what people expect out of that class. The Limited is loaded with so many features - I'm very happy with my purchase and shopped almost all its competitors.
Extensively test drove and compared the CX5, the 2022 Tuscan, and various others, but I landed on the Buick Envision Avenir, and am loving the heck out of it. The tech is great, the interior is high quality, awesome infotainment, solid acceleration (7.1 0 to 60, although I do wish it was slightly more powerful, but nothing really is anymore), and one of the smoothest, quietest rides among the current crop. I wanted something with a funkier exterior design aesthetic like the Tuscan or Murano, but most of them are just so underpowered that I couldn't get past it. Never thought I'd ever own a Buick, but I suppose I am technically a grandpa of 3 years now so there's that, and they've reinvented themselves in a way that won me over.
Great videography! I enjoy the reviews especially the "zonks". But Joe, I've noticed in most videos where you ask is vehicle A better than vehicle B, we never get an answer. I'd like to get your opinion on which one you would actually spend your own money on if you had to choose. Thanks!
HI Robert! My titles are always in the form of what is called an Essential Question. I give you the info and you as the viewer decide. If you must know though I am going Mazda CX-5.
@@RaitisRides Joe, very curious to hear why you'd pick CX-5 over say the SEL Convenience Tucson hybrid?
@@RaitisRides yes sir carbon edition turbo AWD
Front facia looks great 👍 👌 😀
I just leased a 21’ Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring with Premium Package in snowflake white Pearl with parchment leather. I didn’t end up getting the Turbo w/ AWD after all due to cost. No money down and I’m at $477 per month w/ 15,000 miles per year
I really wasn’t feeling the DRLs and the taillights at first but slowly it’s growing on me.
Hey Joe, have you ever been pulled over for speeding when doing the test drives?
I like the Tucson. I think it's a great buy, front end is kind of odd, but overall i like it. The rear is nice!
Love this car and it would be on my short list for sure if I were shopping. But like you, I am not in love with that center console not having physical buttons and knobs.
Can't wait to see this baby in the n line trim. Love the look of this redesign. The taillights remind me of the mustang mach e
That’s what joe said lol
My friend just got this exact car at the end of May. Hyundai did a great job and really nice car all around. Needs a little more power though.
The Crv style shade lol, one of my friends works at Honda and he was trying to get me in a Crv i was like ehhh. I like the looks of the Tucson, looks better in person...I'd have to go hybrid to get that extra power. Wish the exhaust wasn't hidden.
You entertain and educate me well
I bought the Tucson 8 months ago and love it. As to the side body lines, step back and look carefully.......those "bulges" on the front and rear simulate fenders.
The Tucson would be my choice. Thanks for the thorough review, as always. And thanks to the camera lady!
She’s the best!!!
Awe damn and I just leased a new CX-5. 😭
This is the one I want. Nice color too.
Cx5 interior material still feel much better for touching and eyeing
You seem to have picked up a spam message from footballcoreano lol.
Nah. It's cheap and less expensive as the Tucson
Lmao. Can’t even argue with internet nowadays!! Mazda new platform after departed from Ford has been super reliable. Don’t let those tech fool you at first glance. Yes Hyundai has great techs but i’m talking about material and driving experience. I’ve never seen more people recommending Mazda cx5 or cx9 2017-2022 than any Hyundai suv. Go out there and get on a Mazda then drive a Hyundai.
great review.. looking for review on VW TAOS
Looks really nice. I’ve had hyundy before. I have never had a problem with them.
I’d still choose a CX-5! As far as the center infotainment, Ford did that in fusion and explorer and everyone hated it…
That is where I would be putting my money for sure.
Same or RAV4
@@yes8032 Exactly my thoughts
You can get knobs and buttons on the SEL trim
Because Ford's version was not very responsive.
The headlights were definitely an interesting idea, but I don’t know if its my favorite design.
Honestly, and certainly this will probably date me, but they are just a tad bit more interesting and useful as the Mercury “Laser Light Bar” full width (incandescent, of course) strip between the headlights of a couple of their late eighties models.
It’s reminds me of Nissan and the Ford mach e
You remember when Jeep split the headlight design on the 2014 Cherokee and not everyone liked it? Remember how between then and now, other companies took the same design idea and ran with it? I think the same thing might happen here: although the Tuscon's headlight design is a bit polarizing, I think other auto makers will improve upon the idea in the coming years.
Digging the color 👌
my son and his family have one. they love it. they live in phoenix. im in sc
Hello Joe! Could you please do a video on RDX tech packages possibly in black or grey color?
I was waiting for it to transform and scare Joe 😁. I'd go with mazda anyday, stylish and more luxurious 😘. Great review Joe 👍.
Can we get a Hyundai Tucson SEL Premium vs Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Premium video?
Just to help you with your content, The Straight Pipes adds Kilowatts and Newton-metres for metrics in captions on their videos.
I feel you will help a lot of your subs if you add that in with every video - something tells me you have a global audience!
"Hey google, what's X foot lbs in kilowatts"? Soup.
Test drove one for about 20 miles and bought it. Absolutely love it. A turbo would have been nice, but I recommend it!
I wonder if you could get almost like a matte ppf for the infotainment system and ac controls.
I love your videos
3 separate reviews on the new tucson but none of them were the hybrid? The hybrid is almost 2 seconds faster zero to 60, gets about 37 mpg, it's only a little over a thousand dollars more to buy and it comes with all wheel drive and a 6 speed automatic (so no droning CVT- unlike ALL the other hybrid crossovers in its class). The hybrid is def the way to go!
That’s interesting. I would have thought there would be a larger price increase to go hybrid. You are spot on with criticism of the CVT but I’ll take it one step further. The cvt will need replacement earlier than a regular automatic and costs much more to replace. Gas prices are going to rise. Choose wisely.
Cheers
you just provided the review.
Anthony Jackson it’s the mild hybrid u r talking about I think. And even mild hybrid is not economical. That’s one of the flaws (probably the only one) Koreans have to address I guess.
@@Anton-. what do you mean it's not economical? The HEV yields 37mpg. Its absolutely economical especially given the size. Not sure where you're getting you're info. Also, I currently own a Kia optima hybrid, and I've owned it since 2013- I've used it to drive for Uber, for cross country trips and for lots of city driving as well. They def know how to make economic cars. Not sure where you're getting your info, but as someone who actually owns them, I can vouch.
Recent Toyota and Fords use planetary gear set transmissions, not a CVT, for their hybrids, which are more reliable and quieter than CVTs,
Think I like the cx 5 signature better just wish it came with the panoramic sunroof.
The interior is as silent as the c in Tucson.
So smooth bro 😎
Just leased a black on black hybrid ultimate last week and absolutely loving it! Amazing value and quality. You really couldn't tell it's a Hyundai if you covered the badges.
Congrats!!! I leased a white w/ parchment Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring w/ premium package. I am enjoying her
You should add a horn test to the interior!!
By the way, I think this is the best compact SUV today. Great job on this review
it's nice, but the 2023 Kia Sportage addresses some of the zonks (1. no nets on the back of the seats. it has a leather pocket and also a zipper pouch. 2. no cloth on the doors, but i don't know if it's leather or hard plastic or something else). it also has (still talking about the 2023 Sportage) manual knob adjustments for the temperature (and volume?).
I would like you to review with driving impressions on the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid All Wheel Drive to compare the two cars
I will get that together for you Dan! Stay tuned for the RAV4 action!
Rav4 hybrid XSE sport model 🚙💨 👍
Dan, you can't beat the reliability of Toyota. I am considering the Rav4 Hybrid but without the AWD which I do not need here in CA. The CVT of the Hybrid performs so much better, ie smoother engine than the 8 speed Rav4 auto. With a difference of only about $1300 between the XLE Hybrid and and LE no comparison in my opinion. I was at my local Toyota dealership yesterday and the literally had only 5 Rav4s. Yes, it's the chip problem. They did not have one XLE Hybrid. We may have to wait for sometime before the chip problem is solved.
I would appreciate it if you compare this with Nissan Rogue 2021. They both were updated recently.
The lines on the front of the hood make me wish they did some type of DRL lights like the Sonata… make it a Hyundai signature look
They seem to be just throwing absurd design ideas out there and hoping one will stick. There is zero coherence here. Kia at least does a more consistent job when it comes to design.
Agreed cutie
I have a cx5 and now I kinda want a Tucson
These new tucson are soo nice
Hyundai is not coming to play with these other brands!! Love how the parking and summon feature is on this trim. They’re changing the game bringing luxury features at a great cost.
Yes luxury features but bad motor and power train I have a 2022 Tucson with the SEL package and hate it At dealership now and if they can’t fix going to get rid of it under the lemon law
@@stevenmoore4404Did the dealership fix this matter?
@@margaritaramos3393 The dealership did fix the problem Still not great but better
@@stevenmoore4404 That's good.
Hey Joe you really should try and track down a Honda Accord coupe V6 manual. Since they don’t make em anymore I’d love to see your review on it!
Me sticks with new cars for the majority
After looking at and driving several compact SUV’s decided on the 2022 Tucson AWD. Pleased with it so far but it’s still new. Style, comfort, very roomy, price point, amenities, warranty is what sold us. Feels larger than a CX5 to me and more comfortable than a Rav.
Are you still loving it? Did you test drive the CX5? Leaning towards the Tucson
@@anitaclemens1337 Yes to both.
Please do a video on the 2022 tuscon n line !
I'm a Korean dude living in Seoul... watching a Hyundai review by Raiti in the US. It's quite funny, but I like his energy.
Why do koreans make no sense when they make comments. No rhyme or reason. Or logic.
Thanks for the video. I am currently driving a CX5, which I really like. Now its time for a new car, and Im torn between the Tucson and the CX5. The lack of some newer technology in the CX5 is making me second guess it. The Tucson seems to have most of what I want technology wise.
I am so glad that you like this one Scott!
@@RaitisRides You rightfully don't like piano black finish. But you can sacrifice a single twinkie for a dozen packs of alcohol wipes that clean that finish easily!! Enjoy your reviews!!
More seriously, as a former SCCA racer like you, I value handling and was leaning towards a CX-5, but the tech in this is just too good to pass up. Additionally, I'm considering a hybrid, for which Mazda has been behind the industry. Also, I live in NY, but I have a vacation condo in Clearwater and enjoy seeing all the familiar drags around Route 19 where you do your tests!
Wait a little bit. Mazda will soon release their newest lineup of crossover/suvs
Get the Tucson, you really can’t beat it! I guarantee you will like everything about it more than the CX-5. I just got my Tucson Limited today and it’s absolutely amazing! And I have had some very nice cars.
Looks amazing! Can't wait for the hybrid version
Nothing beats the good old prop rod. Lasts forever
I like the technology they have in the 2022 Tucson. This is something the competition needs. Good job Hyundai
Are these push button trans selectors safe? Especially near where some people rest their arm. I'm not a fan of that setup at all. Nor do I think no knobs are safe while driving.
yeah, they do nothing if they are pressed while moving
Cannot wait for the ioniq 5 review
Just ordered Tuscan SEL with the premium package ..
Can I ask what the msrp is for that?
Around 32,500
The hybrid is supposed to be faster. Looking forward to that review!
Faster is putting it MILDLY!!
Don’t want a hybrid
Got my Hybrid Limited in early April when there were only 4 in the entire 250 mile radius... and 2 of them charged this ridiculous $3000 - $5000 "market condition markup fee" because they know they are the only dealership carrying the limited trim... eventually drove 3 hours to this one last dealership that didn't have this stupid markup fee and finally picked up my car!!! Limited Hybrid trim is the best of both worlds: performance yet fuel efficient. And the techs just brings unlimited bragging right, especially the remote park assist lol
I'd say the SEL Conveninience Hybrid is the best trim out of all (inc. PHEVs) when it comes to features to price.
Better than the CX-5. Finally, a vehicle that grabs my attention from the seas of vanilla suvs. The tech is impeccable. I feel like I have arrive in the future looking at this new Tucson.
I don’t think it’s really any better than the cx5 but still a great choice
IT IS BETTER THAN THE CX-5
@@maga6319 yeah
Agreed and I just leased a new CX-5 after driving this
@@2004cyrus nice
@Juan Dela Cruz no
Banana tray. Love it. Healthier than the usual candy snacks. 🙂
Back end looks really nice. Not at all like the Mach E
Joe, no comparison between the CX-5 and the Tucson. Unfortunately, the few CX5s that were on my locale Mazda lot were all Grand Touring. Now if they sell them for the price of a Touring then that could be a deal.
