It is almost sad how many auto videos I have watched. What is startling is that you are a 'company' man yet you provide the some of the most unbiased evaluations. Your focus on the aspect of the cars that are not available at the manufacturer's website make your reviews all the more useful. Also, really appreciate your not telling us how it looks while you have it on camera!🙃
You video should be used for training! I just bought this same trim from a dealer here in Quebec. The sales person had no idea about the car features. Thanks for the great video!
Most complete and really detailed review of a Tucson. To the point and very useful tutorial. I got one a few weeks ago and I’m still learning. Mine is a gasoline only model not hybrid ,we will not have them here in California until late fall. Mileage is outstanding and it is a pleasure to have all the features that other cars including very expensive BMW don’t offer.
I havent even gotten thru the whole video yet and I'm FLOORED by the battery reset feature! One of the issues rav4 hybrid has is that many of them have a parasite drain on their battery and the owners come out to a car that wont start- I've ALWAYS wondered how the heck a HYBRID with all that stored up electricity doesnt have a lead out to the main hybrid batter for JUST THIS PURPOSE. I've already watched a TON of videos about the hybrid Tucson and was thoroughly impressed but YOUR video is the first to tell me about battery reset! Thank you! Off to watch the rest lol
Great in-depth review. Probably the best one out. I found out the other day that the wireless charger does not work if the driver door is open. That was a strange discovery.
Beautiful vehicle inside & out. Hyundai did a masterful job with this 4th gen' Tucson. And they now have it in a Hybrid version with 226hp and a Plug-In Hybrid still to come at 261hp, I believe!...My only minor complaints are where they put the rear turn signals down low on the bumper, don't like that at all. Should have integrated them in the LED taillights somehow. No cowl/cover over the digital gage cluster looks odd IMO. NO HEADS-UP DISLAY is a HUGE OMMISION, as most of the Tucson's competitors offer that feature already. Very thorough nice review my friend!
Thx for the comment! I agree with you on the turn signals. But the instrument cluster, honestly in person looks amazing, and it's so bright it doesn't need a cover. As for the lack of a HUD, I guess that's a subjective thing, personally I didn't even notice it missing. It wouldn't bother me at all.
Great Vid review! The rear seats reclining....my 2009 Toyota highlander limited had the same thing:) We have just ordered the 2023 Tucson Hibrid Ultimate trim. Cheers!
Detailed and nice unbaised describtion.Tucson introduced amazing new Tecnology like CVVT and memory seats. I am enjoying it and really loved it. One of best and competitive SUV on market.Go forward.
Hey Ed. A fantastic and comprehensive review! Thank you! Where is your dealership? I am looking to purchase the Ultimate gas/hybrid Tucson in Ontario. Do you think shimmering silver is a good colour? I see it only comes with the black interior but that still looks premium and sharp in your review. Thanks again!
I just ordered the same model and same colour 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I have to wait for Hyundai to make it. Nobody on the island in BC is selling one off the lot.
Awesome video Ed, so well explained. The hybrids are not yet available in Florida, where I'm eagerly waiting to buy one. Are they being built in the US or in Korea?
Honestly, the best review of the Tucson I have watched. And I've watched a bunch. And I had no interest or intention of buying a hybrid until this video. So I am now 98% convinced that the Tucson will be my next vehicle. I'm 1% uncertain whether to get the hybrid or not. And I'm 1% uncertain whether to get a Hyundai at all, given the level of sophistication and complexity of all the tech and all the settings for that tech. Just kidding. Seriously though, it will take some time to figure out all the options, what they're used for, and how to set them. Again, great informative helpful video. Thanks.
Hybrid with 1.6L turbo, will it be efficient enough to warmup the cabin quickly in winter and defrost the winshield.... or is it better to eait for spring ? Thanks for review with very pertinent information.
Thanks for the in depth review, great job. Just wondering when does it come to dealerships in Canada for viewing and test drive? I've seen videos where the roof is black, what model is that?
Very nice review Ed I am waiting on your review on the N line.I know from some information it comes with the standard 2.5 engine just wondering if they will option a hybrid or a plugin version?Thanks doing a great job.
Great review, Ed. You covered everything very well. How is the cargo capacity compared to regular trims - are we losing any cargo capacity in the top trim Hybrid? I had a 2016 which had 3 transmissions replaced (including harness) by Hyundai, and while i loved that car, the last few months before we were forced to sell it were horrible. Hoping Hyundai has made it better (no CVT in this, I assume). Thanks.
Sorry, I'm in Canada. Trim levels are different here. Our top two trim levels are luxury and ultimate. So the luxury is going to be similar to whatever is the second highest trim package there.
Very well explained, you are more helpful than my salesperson in the dealership. May I ask what the correct gasoline should be put in the car? The manual says it requires octane ((r+m)/2) number 87 (research octane number 91), I am so confused with these numbers. I just want to know what the number of gasoline in Canadian gas pump should take, 87 or 91?
Yes. Beautiful vehicle. I cant wait for you to test drive it. Couple of questions? Does this Hybrid trim come with Memory seating? I dont think you talked about it in the video unless i missed it. Can the center console have some sort of protection film to prevent dust and fingerprints? I like the knobs. Lastly, when does the Plugin option come to canada?
I can't wait either!! There wasn't any memory seating in this trim level. However, the Ultimate trim will also be hybrid, and will include the memory system. I don't think there's going to be anyone creating protection film for the console... At least not for a long time. However, a microfiber cloth kept the glove box would make quick work of cleaning it. The plug in hybrid is expected by end of the year.
Thanks for the quick reply. I wish it has memory seating. That is the only negative on this trim but otherwise great. The ultimate doesnt have a knob which is my big negative. oh well.
Yes actually, a few differences. I'm in Canada though, so keep that in mind. The 2023 Tucson Luxury loses the following: Vented seats Wireless charger Privacy cover Wireless carplay/Android auto And gains the following: Navigation 10.25" infotainment system
@@edsgarage001 thanks Ed, I’m also in Canada. Too sad wireless CarPlay is removed. Would take that over the navigation, Nobody use that anymore. Google maps via CarPlay is a lot better option.
@@edsgarage001 Haha, I only have 110 miles on it, so still being gentle. Hoping when I actually fuel it and reset everything that it will actually be better than I think. Also, need to drive more and get it broken in. ;)
"The Curve function (NSCC-C) uses the navigation data to predict the incoming curve on the road, reduces the cruising speed, and, upon exiting the curve, returns the speed to the preset level." Hope that helps!
Hi ED, I might have a stupid question here, I don't see the day time led lights, the big wing lights on when I turn the car on in my drive way. I am wondering if there is some way to have them on.
They only come on when you get in, and go. If you remote start, they don't come on. Also if you're emergency brake is on, they'll shut off as well. Go get in, fire it up, leave it in park, turn off the e-brake, and they should be on. Rear lights ONLY come on when full headlights or parking lights are turned on. Which is why I always recommend leaving your headlight switch in the full on position, and not on the auto position. They'll shut off when you get out and lock it anyway.
I have a Plug in Luxury Hybrid on order and have a technical question that I haven't been able to resolve online. Does the car's computer track the mileage of the 1.6l IC engine? For example if I do mostly city driving within the 13.8 kW battery capability and only occasional long trips I could be looking at 5000 km on the odometer but, since that is mostly in EV mode I may only have about 1000 km on the gas engine. In the interest of knowing how many kms are on the engine for oil changes, etc...does the veh computer track accurately how many kms are on the ICE vs the car odometer? Also, do you have any info on when the Plug ins are to arrive in Canada? They are only going to 11 US states so, hopefully, we will see some when they start arriving from Ulsan.
Hi Don, Thank you for your comment. I'm not 100% certain, but i think you can see the breakdown on the phev section on the infotainment screen. I'll try to get you the answer today. As for when we'll start seeing them, it looks like October.
So, i don't actually have any phev Hyundais on the lot anymore. But I had a look at a hybrid, which I imagine is going to have the same info. You can see the economy of course, but you can also see how many kilowatts of electric usage. But I don't see a specific section on km driven on gas unfortunately.
@@edsgarage001 That's kind of odd considering that it would be easy for the computer to accumulate mileage when it switched on or off the engine. Since it's pretty important to know the mileage of an ICE for maintenance I'm surprised that this question hasn't been asked before. Maybe it's something to address with Hyundai Canada?
@@wicker1234 oh I've been asked before. But that was before we had phev Santa Fes. but what most end up doing is just getting an oil change every 6 months regardless of their mileage.

I have ordered top version of hybrid in april with leather black seats. Patiently waiting. Can i have a question? How much is that top luxury hybrid in Canada ? Thanks for very nice review
@@edsgarage001 Woooow its about €30k. That's cheaper almost about €9k than i paid in Slovakia 🇸🇰 I paid €39k for top hybrid version with leather seats. I want to live in Canada. Oh Canada... 🇨🇦
@@jesrpr in the USA perhaps. But in Canada, the tire mobility kit was standard on all hybrid Sonata trims. If you're in Canada, and you have a 17 Sonata hybrid with a spare, then it was either added by the dealer, or a previous owner.
Love the way this one looks, and it drove pretty nice too. I was looking into buying one of these until my insurance agent quoted me another $100/mo over all of the other in the class I was looking at. Any clue if the cost of replacement is high for certain elements of these? (I've got good credit, driving history, blah blah blah lol).
@@edsgarage001 i am, but got quotes for other new models in the class...CX-9 @ +$17/mo, Explorer @ +$15/mo, Rogue @+$15/mo Tucson Hybrid @ +$130/mo, Tucson gas @ +$150/mo...Pretty crazy, and for what I can tell no real reason.
@@edsgarage001 hahaha i've tried. I'm thinking there's just a conspiracy that's preventing me from getting this car. Keep up the solid content though. Out of all of the reviews I watched for this, yours was one of the most detailed
Yeah, I forgot to talk about that. Basically it cycles between snow/sand and mud modes. It alters the awd system, traction and stability systems to operate in a means best for those scenarios. It also activates the center differential lock.
Yes... I'm aware of that. This is a Luxury trim which does have it wireless. In Canada the limited trim is called the Ultimate and it also doesn't have wireless Android auto/carplay
Yea, hopefully it can be added with a software update? It’s disappointing that the US Limited trim doesn’t have wireless. Major oversight. Otherwise it’s been a fantastic SUV so far.
The operating systems used are made by a third party company called mnsoft. Hyundai has been trying to get them to enable the wireless ability for over two years. Blame mnsoft

@@sunshinecycling the lower end screens run a totally different system. I'm not sure on the details but the screens that run built in navigation have some sort of software limitation preventing the addition of wireless phone projection. I'm sure it'll get sorted out at some point. But for now, there's some third party hardware that can be bought to add the ability for anyone desperate to have it.
They don't actually flicker. That's a side effect of the refresh rate of the video camera and the LED lights. Viewing it in person, you wouldn't see that.
You didn't miss it. I never mention it, because price varies from province to province, state to state, country to country. In British Columbia Canada, this luxury trim is about $40,000 plus applicable fees/taxes
Oh I see, that makes sense. Thank you for the response. I'm from the U.S. and online it shows the hybrid SEL convenience and the limited version. Which do you think is this luxury trim shown here?
@@StephanieSharesJesus well, the limited is probably like our top trim the ultimate... But the sel is usually our lower trim. So I'd say our Luxury is somewhere in-between 😬
@@edsgarage001 Thanks. In the US, all current Tucsons are made in the US (Hyundai's Alabama plant). However, it's my understanding the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models will be imported from South Korea.
@@bomatdaman yeah, looks like you are correct. The Alabama plant wasn't making the last gen though from what I've been able to find. The Alabama plant also produces the 2.5 liter engine, so I guess it makes sense to produce the hybrids in Korea and the non hybrids in Alabama. (Among a few other places)
@@edsgarage001 i hope so... it would be a shame that the more expensive one has not gotten this option. You know if the current owners can receive an update later? Or will it be a hardware update and need an entire infotainment system change and hence more cost?
@@sebastiannasrallah6179 that I don't know. There's aftermarket solutions though. Small box you plug into the USB port on the car that picks up the signal from the phone wirelessly. Worst case scenario.
tbh i love the new design of the new tucson but i had the 2017 tucson worst car ever so many dam issues with the transmisson and burning oil and bad fuel economy tbh i dont trust hyundai or Kia anymore and its funny that they can add 5 year warrantee and add more futures but when it comes to value and reliability toyotas are better !
I think you should compare it to other compact vehicles in this price range. It objectively blows everything else away in its class. That's not just my opinion, but the opinion of virtually everyone who's reviewed it. Every client I've had test drive one has noted how quiet the interior is, so I'm not sure what you're saying. The CR-V for instance is WAY noisier on the road. Not enough luxury?? Smart Power lift gate, heated and ventilated seats, heated rear seats, power front seats, wireless Android auto apple carplay, massive panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, lane follow assist, heated steering wheel, leather interior, multi point reclining rear seats, bluelink telematics system, led headlights/high beams, auto wipers, auto high beams, rear parking assist, dual auto climate control with diffuser... Etc etc etc. It's no Lexus, but for the price, it has tonnes of little luxuries.
It is almost sad how many auto videos I have watched. What is startling is that you are a 'company' man yet you provide the some of the most unbiased evaluations.

@@Radeno33 wow, yeah that's pretty normal unfortunately. There would be taxes on top though. About 12%
So, still less. But not as much
Does the Santa Fe also get back pockets for the front 2 chairs just like the Tuscon?
Yes
But in some TH-cam reviews I seen only the passenger gets back pocket not the driver side.

I think higher trims of the rogue have wireless android auto and apple carplay.
Only wireless carplay, they don't have wireless Android auto yet.
@ed... is the hybrid technology exactly the same with the plug-in model?
The PHEV will have a stronger electric motor and a bigger battery
@@edsgarage001 But all the other hybrid systems will be the same? (I mean except for the "free" plugin power you can get.) Thanks for fast reply!!!
@@Col.Klink. yes, as far as I know the engine/transmission is the same.
Thank you for the awesome review
Is the hybrid battery pack under the backseat and does it come with a spare tire?
Thanks
Yes, it's under the back seat.
No spare tire, which is pretty much par for the course with any hybrid.
@@edsgarage001 oh okay. Thank again for quick response
@@edsgarage001 My 2017 Sonata Hybrid comes with a spare tire.
@@jesrpr in the USA perhaps. But in Canada, the tire mobility kit was standard on all hybrid Sonata trims.
If you're in Canada, and you have a 17 Sonata hybrid with a spare, then it was either added by the dealer, or a previous owner.
Love the way this one looks, and it drove pretty nice too. I was looking into buying one of these until my insurance agent quoted me another $100/mo over all of the other in the class I was looking at. Any clue if the cost of replacement is high for certain elements of these? (I've got good credit, driving history, blah blah blah lol).
No different then any other vehicle 🤷
Are you going from something 5 plus years old?
@@edsgarage001 i am, but got quotes for other new models in the class...CX-9 @ +$17/mo, Explorer @ +$15/mo, Rogue @+$15/mo Tucson Hybrid @ +$130/mo, Tucson gas @ +$150/mo...Pretty crazy, and for what I can tell no real reason.
@@brandonfairbanks376 go see a different insurance company? Lol I dunno. That makes no sense
@@edsgarage001 hahaha i've tried. I'm thinking there's just a conspiracy that's preventing me from getting this car. Keep up the solid content though. Out of all of the reviews I watched for this, yours was one of the most detailed
I saw a terrain mode where the drive mode is. What does that exactly do?
Yeah, I forgot to talk about that.
Basically it cycles between snow/sand and mud modes. It alters the awd system, traction and stability systems to operate in a means best for those scenarios. It also activates the center differential lock.
@@edsgarage001 thanks for the quick reply. Great informative video btw.
@@ranierspag thx for the comments!!
Just bought the “limited” trim of the 2022 Tucson. Unless I’m mistaken, it does NOT have wireless CarPlay. Just FYI.
Yes... I'm aware of that.
This is a Luxury trim which does have it wireless. In Canada the limited trim is called the Ultimate and it also doesn't have wireless Android auto/carplay
Hopefully wireless carplay is added in the future via a software update
Yea, hopefully it can be added with a software update? It’s disappointing that the US Limited trim doesn’t have wireless. Major oversight. Otherwise it’s been a fantastic SUV so far.
@@matthewkrienke211 it's not an oversight, it's a technical limitation by the makers of the software (MNsoft).
@@edsgarage001 is it something that can be added on later through an update?
Ummm, yeah, the lower models have wireless CarPlay, but not the limited. Makes total sense. smh
The operating systems used are made by a third party company called mnsoft. Hyundai has been trying to get them to enable the wireless ability for over two years.
Blame mnsoft

@@edsgarage001 Thanks. Wonder why they can do it on the lower models with the smaller screens, though.
@@sunshinecycling the lower end screens run a totally different system. I'm not sure on the details but the screens that run built in navigation have some sort of software limitation preventing the addition of wireless phone projection.
I'm sure it'll get sorted out at some point. But for now, there's some third party hardware that can be bought to add the ability for anyone desperate to have it.
How do you get the front and back lights to flicker??
They don't actually flicker. That's a side effect of the refresh rate of the video camera and the LED lights.
Viewing it in person, you wouldn't see that.
is this a hybrid ?
This one is, yes.
In Canada, the Trend/Luxury/Calligraphy are all available with hybrid drive trains.
I may have missed it, but how much does this trim cost?
You didn't miss it. I never mention it, because price varies from province to province, state to state, country to country.
In British Columbia Canada, this luxury trim is about $40,000 plus applicable fees/taxes
Oh I see, that makes sense. Thank you for the response. I'm from the U.S. and online it shows the hybrid SEL convenience and the limited version. Which do you think is this luxury trim shown here?
@@StephanieSharesJesus well, the limited is probably like our top trim the ultimate... But the sel is usually our lower trim. So I'd say our Luxury is somewhere in-between 😬
Based on the VIN, what is the country of origin for the hybrid model? In other words, does the VIN begin with a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or K?
All Tucsons are still made in south Korea. (Update: they're not anymore 🤷)
VIN code K
@@edsgarage001 Thanks. In the US, all current Tucsons are made in the US (Hyundai's Alabama plant). However, it's my understanding the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models will be imported from South Korea.
@@bomatdaman yeah, looks like you are correct. The Alabama plant wasn't making the last gen though from what I've been able to find.
The Alabama plant also produces the 2.5 liter engine, so I guess it makes sense to produce the hybrids in Korea and the non hybrids in Alabama.
(Among a few other places)
Is this the SEL trim?
I'm in Canada, here it's called the Luxury trim.
Hello! Are the tucsons with 10 inch infotainment system come with wireless car play and android auto? I heard it does not. Thank you!
No, currently the software on the 10" doesn't support it. There *may* be an update in the future
@@edsgarage001 i hope so... it would be a shame that the more expensive one has not gotten this option. You know if the current owners can receive an update later? Or will it be a hardware update and need an entire infotainment system change and hence more cost?
@@sebastiannasrallah6179 that I don't know.
There's aftermarket solutions though. Small box you plug into the USB port on the car that picks up the signal from the phone wirelessly. Worst case scenario.
@@edsgarage001 thank you! and Hyundai are lucky to have you as their seller!
@@sebastiannasrallah6179 thx!
Which color is this?
Deep sea blue
@@edsgarage001 Thank you so much Love your videos!

What is the mpg?
6.4 L/100km on average.
Or about 37mpg
Just picked up my luxury hybrid today..dealer filled the tank (52 ltrs) range came up at 800 kms..

tbh i love the new design of the new tucson but i had the 2017 tucson worst car ever so many dam issues with the transmisson and burning oil and bad fuel economy tbh i dont trust hyundai or Kia anymore and its funny that they can add 5 year warrantee and add more futures but when it comes to value and reliability toyotas are better !

It's not a luxury car. It's an OK car! Too much noise when driving, and definitely not a enough luxury. Rims YUK!
I think you should compare it to other compact vehicles in this price range. It objectively blows everything else away in its class. That's not just my opinion, but the opinion of virtually everyone who's reviewed it.
Every client I've had test drive one has noted how quiet the interior is, so I'm not sure what you're saying. The CR-V for instance is WAY noisier on the road.
Not enough luxury??
Smart Power lift gate, heated and ventilated seats, heated rear seats, power front seats, wireless Android auto apple carplay, massive panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, lane follow assist, heated steering wheel, leather interior, multi point reclining rear seats, bluelink telematics system, led headlights/high beams, auto wipers, auto high beams, rear parking assist, dual auto climate control with diffuser... Etc etc etc.
It's no Lexus, but for the price, it has tonnes of little luxuries.
Guy looks like a yugo in human form
Wow, that's a douche comment
