That's good to hear. I would be more concerned over the long term material quality. The more you rub something over the plastics, the higher chance of scratching or micro-abrasions.
@@CarsMadeSimple I’ve been concerned about that, too. Especially since it’s a shiny surface. I’ve wiped it when the car is turned off and the surface is pretty hard - I expected it to be softer. I don’t like the fingerprints, so I’ve been swiping it every other day, and it literally takes two seconds because there really isn’t dirt on it - just natural oils. And I don’t have to apply any unusual pressure. I’m using the cloths made for eyeglasses. I’m trying to head off any damage at the pass. You might be able to tell that this is the first new car I’ve ever bought for myself!! I picked out just what I wanted, so I’m being hyper-particular!!
I just bought the 2023 Tucson limited AWD thus came to this video. It is a nice car. I was wondering why it was missing the rear wipers and I had no idea why the car had a button for it. I learned something new from this video. I am also looking on the folding mirrors as I saw one fold but I have not seen my mirrors fold yet.
Congrats! Most of the time you are fairly safe buying a first model year vehicle that is the highest trim. Sometimes new features are introduced but often times the changes are a few of the upper trims features trickle down to the lower trims.
I enjoyed the video; I have a 2023 Tucson AWD SEL with the convenience package on a loan as I await an engine replacement for my 2016 Sonata Limited Turbo. The Tucson SEL is a nice value; I only wish the SEL had rear parking sensors and homelink as I have those on my 2015 Sonata. I also don’t understand why there isn’t a turbo offered with the Tucson. Overall it is a nice vehicle and I’m considering getting it.
Well that will be a good way to test out the vehicle for a period of time albeit not the best circumstances. The Tucson technically does have a turbo offering but it is paired to the Hybrid powertrain. The 2.5T inside of the Tucson would make for a quick machine!
I just bought one for my bday 🔥 I was gonna get a lambo truck but I decided to be humble and get this instead. This car rides smooth so I’m happy with my investment and it’s good on gas
Thanks for the detailed review. I’ve driven nothing but Honda CRV’s since 2000. My husband and kids drive Hondas too. I’m in the market for a 23’ Tucson Limited or CRV EXL at the end of the year. I’m so torn between the reliability of a Honda and that panoramic moonroof and all the bells and whistles of the Tucson.
The biggest benefits of the Tucson like you mentioned will be a few additional features along with the longer warranty. I would definitely check out the Tucson in person and take one for a drive if you can. I don't know where you are located but we currently have three Tucson Limited's available on the lot including the one seen in this video! 😁
@@CarsMadeSimple lol! I'm still trying to figure out the remote park assist thingy. Although I'm wondering if I'd even want to squeeze my car into that tight of a spot. I mean it's not likely your neighbors will have the same tech....so when they get in their car...they will probably jack up my door!
@@bloodmerchant4960 There is a sport drive mode in all Tucson's. The Hybrid and Plug In Hybrid should feel noticeably quicker accelerating because they have substantially more power.
Just took delivery of a 2022 Tucson Limited this past Thursday (8/25) - shimmering silver in color. This type of vehicle is a HUGE departure from every vehicle I've previously owned, having always owned sporty manual transmission coupes (1st - 1986 Toyota Supra, 2nd - 1992 Toyota Supra, 3rd - 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo, 4th - 2004 Honda Accord EX-V6) so still in the "getting used to it" phase but so far so good. And also definitely trying to teach myself not to go for the clutch and reach for the shifter when some idiot driver makes an idiot move in front of me. lol
Haha you are the first one to mention my personal channel. I do like Depeche Mode and I am glad I was able to see them in concert! It was a good time for sure.
@@CarsMadeSimple That's awesome! They are unquestionably my all-time favorite group! So you saw them in 2013... that would've been the Delta Machine Tour. An awesome concert that was. So far I've seen them eight times... and counting... Music for the Masses Tour in 1988, World Violation Tour in 1990, Devotional Tour in 1993, Singles Tour in 1998, Touring the Angel tour in 2005, Tour of the Universe in 2009, Delta Machine Tour in 2013, and Global Spirit Tour in 2015.
I am torn between the reliability and power of the Rav4 Limited and the high tech, features of the Tucson Limited.. the rav4's touchscreen does seem to "lag" a bit and doesn't seem too intuitive and fancy as the Tucson based on other review vids.. not sure what to do. thoughts?
@@CarsMadeSimple thank you for the response! I'm just not looking for a hybrid at the moment. There are folk on various forums that don't think Hyundais have the best engine or that it will require a lot of maintenance in the long term. and there are others that say that their more recent cars starting in 2019 have come a long way and that those fears are overblown.. is that true? I guess that is my main concern, whereas Toyotas seem to be super reliable since it seems to be the car of choice for the Taliban in the middle east. lol
I've always wondered if the heated/cooling seats automatically shut off (if you don't manually do it) when you turn off the engine.... ?? Anyone know ?
I'm not interested. I have a 2017 Tucson Sport. I was thinking of trading but no Apple App compatible entry, and no Wireless CarPlay made me say no! No Turbo option is also disappointing.
The Tucson Hybrid Blue might be a good option if you are interested in the new Tucson. It retains the 8" screen with wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay. It also offers the 1.6T engine paired with an electric motor for high total output vs the regular Tucson.
@@CarsMadeSimple Not into Hybrids at this time. Waiting for proper fully electric vehicles to become practical. I see the hybrid as a stepping stone that I want to jump over. :) I may move up to the Santa Fe with the 2.5 turbo and the wet dual clutch trans.
I owned 2022 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate and I'm NOT happy nor satisfied. the month after I received a recall letter from Hyundai Canada called "Campaign Service C0448" also I purchased extended warranty which cost me $3,758.38 cdn but dealer told me the hybrid battery is NOT cover by warranty!!...should I feel happy about Hyundai brand??
I don't know why a dealership would tell you the battery is not under warranty. Canada's rules might be different but if it was purchased new then I would surely believe Hyundai Canada offers a warranty on the electric components.
@@naomiweaver1855 thank you for your suggestions, I just want a good protection plan for my vehicle. I don't want to be scam or fooled by the dealer or manufacturer.
I don't see any mention of Matrix LED headlights here in the US on the Sportage. The Tucson (like the Sportage) has LED Reflector Headlights or LED Projector headlights depending on the trim.
@@CarsMadeSimple Sportage has matrix leds starting with the penultimate version in europe. Led reflectors are the worse. Led projectors are better than the reflectors and worse than the matrix. Mazda cx5 and c30 also have matrix leds
@@snflas Yes, that makes sense. Our headlight laws have been very behind for many years so that is why we have very few Matrix LED's equipped vehicles. They just passed updates regulations earlier this year to allow for Matrix LED headlights but still have to finalize things. I would say maybe in the next 1-2 years we will start seeing models that have Matrix LED's overseas to be sold here with them as well on a larger scale.
All Hyundai's with push button start have had immobilizers from the beginning. Only some vehicles with key start did not have an immobilizer through the 2021MY. Hyundai has been installing immobilizers on all vehicles from 2022 and onwards.
what's with the "mod year" are you just trying to be cool or too lazy to say model year? That said, while mod year was distracting the video was awesome. Good job!
I just bought the 2022 Tucson Limited and all you have to do to the touchscreen/piano black is swipe a micro cloth over it and it stays clean easily.
That's good to hear. I would be more concerned over the long term material quality. The more you rub something over the plastics, the higher chance of scratching or micro-abrasions.
We do the same thing. We keep a micro fiber cloth in the center counsel and give it the occasional wipe. Works great.
@@CarsMadeSimple I’ve been concerned about that, too. Especially since it’s a shiny surface. I’ve wiped it when the car is turned off and the surface is pretty hard - I expected it to be softer.

That would be quite the upgrade! Congrats! What color did you go with?
@@CarsMadeSimple Its Silver, right off the showroom floor
@@PhilPurcell That is always an awesome sight to see customer deliveries off the showroom floor!

I live on the west coast, and the dealers here all hold Tucsons hostage for a markup of at least 6k sometimes more.
If you feel like making a journey to the Midwest, feel free to reach out! www.greenfamilyhyundai.com/
Are the Midwest Tucsons smogged according to Calif laws
@@jerrytuck8595 I believe they all meet CA requirements.
I have the 22' Tucson Hybrid limited, is the auto start/stop button now an addition because of the 2023 model, or is this just on all gas models?
I would guess the start/stop would be for gas models. We haven't had any 2023 Hybrids arrive yet but I could see it being for the gas models only.
Nice but I ended up getting a 2023 Venue In Red 2 weeks ago at 23,000

I might be biased but I would go for the Tucson (Hybrid). I would say the radio infotainment is better than recent Toyota's I have been inside.

Yes, they shut off with the engine and will not turn back on unless you turn them back on yourself upon next startup.
@@CarsMadeSimple Thanks !
If they didn’t the battery would drain quickly. So think a bit before asking stupid questions.
@@CarsMadeSimple so they don’t auto turn on with remote start? (With auto climate control on)

You can't permanently disengage it from my understanding

The extended warranty is what the dealer sold you, not Hyundai.

Severe downgrade relative to 2022. Disabled wireless android auto and apple play so they can promote their much less capable nav and limited apps.
There is no difference between a 2022 and 2023 Tucson Limited. Both have wired Android Auto and Apple Carplay only.
