Love the new Tucson! Would like to see Hyundai move the rear turn signals from the bumper to under the brake light or on the opposite side of the brake light (as on the Kia Sorrento)
This is honestly my biggest gripe about my 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy. Nice taillight design but no integrated turn signals. I'm just bewildered with the setup.
@@philipscases5168 so you only have bumper signals as well? I just can't believe they dropped the ball like this....I honestly didn't know about it till a week after purchase SMH
I'm waiting for 2023 Portfino gray tuscan SEL w conv. pkg. &AWD hopefully this week. Thank you for your review I learned alot more and very happy that I made that decision !!
Not sure about your number because the rav4 in the uk is bigger than tucson on boot and interior. Only assume your driving the long wheel base version. Also not you don't get 40/20/40 rear seat split you get 60/40
I have a 2022 Tucson with the convenience package as well and it DOES come with 10 changeable multicolor ambient lighting options. You can adjust them through the Cluster > Lighting menu.
Not a fan of GDI. Did Hyundai finally add the "valve top washing" system like Toyota has in their GDI engines? This is the #1 pick for me but need to know if they are using the technology where the top of the valves get washed by gasoline.
Great Detailed review! I don’t care so much about speed cause you can only go so fast nowadays. So many cars on the roads. As long as it looks great (shape/style is important), drives smooth, fairly good on gas, can hold more than a few grocery bags, and comfortable (I’m tall), then it’s good enough. The rest (heated/ cooled seats, ambient lighting etc are all just bonuses. The only thing I don’t care for is that intense blue colour. I prefer more a deep, navy blue…
I think that the time to 60mph on this Tucson is not 7.1s. Different sources give different times, but none gives it 7.1 seconds with the base engine. Its from 8.8s, through 9.3s, and ending with shamefull 10.2 seconds. I suspect that 7.1 seconds may be about correct for the hybrid version (I just look it up; 7.1s is for the hybrid).
Why don't you have 1.6 T engine it much better quicker quieter cleaner and better in fuel. Cannot believe your still using that old 2.5. Still using yellow lenses for indicators so out dated Why are you listening to exhaust note that something little boys in 1990 did have drivers not matured in your country.
I just bought the 2023 hybrid Tucson ultimate trim (top trim in Canada) and it does come with ambient lighting with up to 64 different colors to choose from. 😀
You really should drive it with the tech pack. Totally different car and drives so much nicer. What difference is this over my brand new PHEV 2022 Ultimate (with tech pack)
*No need to say “what’s up guys.”* Been waiting for my new Tucson “Limited” PHEV for months. Just wish they had more “colors” than basically 5 shades of grey. And you get a ‘23? Congrats.
Just to clarify....the only Tucson that gets REAL leather seats is the Limited trim. All others get either the cloth, cloth/H-Tex combination or full H-Tex (SEL w/Convenience Pkg.), which is a synthetic imitation leather material. Also, the Limited trim doesn't get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto due to the navigation feature. Since the lower trims don't have navigation, they're able to have those wireless connections. This was explained to me at my local Hyundai dealership.
I agree, but the way it was explained once in a video I saw was that the limited trims have all the really nice features that are limited to that trim level.
does the 2023 still have the engine issues that the 2022 and below have? I'm seriously looking into a hyundai tuscon but do not want to deal with that after spending so much on a new car.
I am looking at the 2023 SEL non convenience AWD in Portofino gray, just came in the dealership Friday, i agree it looks nice and yes LOTS of room inside. I would need to see 0-60 in 7.1 though, i would assume maybe 9 with only 187 HP, i know it has an 8 speed but still need to see it to believe it. I have a 2021 Forte 6 speed manual and will only lose a grand compared to what i bought it for but since it's a trade i save about a grand on sales tax so it's a wash, my car has 22,000 miles on it, pretty good driving a car for 18 months and breaking even, good used cars are at a premium now, Forte is AMAZING on gas especially on the highway
@@jedimasterq Sounds about right, i didn't buy it for sub 6 second 0-60 times so i knew what to expect. I took it from NC to WV and got 30 mph highway, it cruises and rides like a cloud, handles great with those 19 inch Michelins, is super comfortable and goes up Sandstone mountain holding 70 no problem. The 'convenience package' with the sunroof, wheel upgrade, interior, etc. is WELL WORTH the 2250.00, interior looks just like leather, heated and power seats are also great touches
@@zxtenn I have the 22 Hybrid SEL-C and it's incredible. I wanted something a bit stronger than my 18 Tucson, but better gas mileage, and it's certainly that and more. I regularly get 35-40+MPG in mixed driving, and it's pretty quick in acceleration. I was thinking about the gas one but based on what they gave me on the trade-in and the relatively small amount extra for the HEV, I decided that was a good choice. I would have liked the leatherette, but the cloth seats aren't bad, and very comfortable.
16:16 The 8” has wireless, but 10” requires the phone to be cabled. There’s gotta be some stupid reason the higher trim model is missing this feature. Remarkably frustrating 😤
I owned 2022 Tucson Hybrid "Ultimate" and not happy nor satisfied, a month after I received my Tucson, Hyundai Canada sent me a recall letter called Campaign Service C0448 and the dealer I bought my SUV told me the Hybrid battery is not covered by warranty even though I added extended warranty called "PREMIUM PLUS" that cost me extra $3,759 dollars that did not give me any protection!! so why should I trust Hyundai brand or Korean product?
I do own a Hyundai now but previously a Mustang, Civic, G35 Coupe, etc. I just appreciate cars that do it right and right now Hyundai is crushing it for the most part. Might be getting a Toyota soon tho! 😆

True! Still looks good though.
I have my new 2023 SEL convenience Tucson and I am absolutely loving it!!❤️❤️
Awesome SUV! Congrats!
@@goldpony Thank you!!!!!
Suv of the year for sure!

So where do you get the sel model tucson because everywhere I've been they Jack up the price well above manufacturers price
So annoying we in the uk cannot get the tucson in blue .
You really should drive it with the tech pack. Totally different car and drives so much nicer.

Still waiting (months) for my PHEV Limited. What is the “tech pack?”
I understand that BLUE is the cheapest Model Trim.
Great review. Thanks

10:57. The ‘22 PHEV has no spare. That space is taken up by batteries.
No turbo-charged 4 cylinder option is keeping me away.
8:18. Dealer puts his sticker or paint on the actual paint (under the badge, lower left) is pretty rude. They have to pay me to advertise for them.
Can you review a new Volvo S60 R-Design or Inscription? Great video as always
Best price to buy my dealer giving me 31500 msrp is it good
Have the engines been re-engineered to quit looking up ? Are the warranties honored ?
19:20. There IS multicolor ambient lighting on the “Limited.” I do not like that they call the highest trim level “Limited.” Rather confusing.
I agree, but the way it was explained once in a video I saw was that the limited trims have all the really nice features that are limited to that trim level.
Drove a limted tucson today, very smooth ride. Loved the interior.

He mistakenly got the 0-60 time from the Hybrid. That one does 0-60 in around 7.1 seconds. The 2.5L gas one will do around 9.3 sec 0-60

Hybrid is the way to go
Might be trading my Kona for this next year
TUCSON is the way to go

New phones do t even have cable holes anymore 🤣
Probably something Apple and Google limit in the larger screen.
15:38. While the gloss black is pretty, it is miserable. Any time the sun is visible, there’s a bright reflection off some glossy part.
Looks identical to the 2022 model
Dam this color not available here
Ok. I like it
Great review ! I bought the 2023 and I am waiting for it so I really enjoyed learning about ALL the great features. Thanks a lot 🤩👍🙏
How much over sticker
It's a great vehicle! Whats your favorite feature?
Now my dream SUV.
All the extras which you would like are available on the Ultimate in Europe
Yeah it's cost like $50k also
What Sonata do you have?
I think he owns a 2021 sonata se
SEL Plus cause it's in Glaring Yellow (G- Yellow something).
2020 Sonata SEL Plus in Glowing Yellow 👍
This guy talks so fast I feel like I am watching a Sportscaster reviewing a car.
haha that's a new one! :-)
@@goldpony it's a compliment bro😉
Can you review the Tucson hybrid please!
I'll definitely try! 😁
Did you say 3 free yrs of maintenance???
Correct, 3yrs/36k miles whichever comes first 👍
Why did they have to put that darn "stop n go" on it 🤥
It will never be best in class with noise it have and bad fuel consumption! Regardless about the slowness …
So get the hybrid….. it’s better fuel economy and faster than the regular 2.5
Lol... you've obviously never been in a RAV4.
RAV4 is so loud lol the Tucson has acoustic laminated glass in the front windows and it’s so quiet

WOW, yes that SUCKS, hard to believe you spend 40 grand and its NOT covered? I will stay with NA vehicles myself
The car colors are not great
This guy sounds like a Hyundai fanboy. Makes it hard to take this review seriously
I do own a Hyundai now but previously a Mustang, Civic, G35 Coupe, etc. I just appreciate cars that do it right and right now Hyundai is crushing it for the most part. Might be getting a Toyota soon tho! 😆
They have awful colors for the Tucson limited.
