I have just ordered mine - and to be fair I don’t think I have ever considered a Hyundai before. The new design and interior for me was absolutely a game changer . Well played Hyundai
How did you order it?? I went to their website and i couldn't find a way to order one :(
@@kaygee8779 You have to order through a dealer. Their website takes you to dealership websites to order there
@@Noe-fs5ik Ohhhhhh!! Thank you! That's so good to know because the ones they have in stock are always the white ones and i really really don't want a white one jaja.
@@kaygee8779 the white Tucson seem to be very hard to get in the UK I have ordered an ultimate but I have to get it made in the Chez republic so I’m not expecting to get to me till the end of the year with the semi conductor shortage. Never mind. Enjoy yours when you get it. Take care
Do they have a 360 camera system? If so, which trim level comes or doesn't come with it? That's important for me. The rest of it looks great.
I love mine. Just got it 2 days ago. I call it my space ship, because it's so much more high tech than the 2017 Subaru Forester I traded in.
The dealership asks for $38000 on blue hybrid. Is it too high?
The look on this SUV is amazing, especially the tailights!!! The Sorento, Carnival and Tucson are beautiful redesigns
I've had the limited Hybrid for almost 2 months. The redesigned body style and more powerful engine were the deciding factors in selecting the Tucson vs the Santa Fe Calligraphy. 3 year maintenance pkg, Bluelink features and the Hyundai warranty are included bonuses. The interior is very attractive...a microfiber duster keeps it clean. This is my subjective pov. ☺
Currently looking to get one soon. I’ve been reading that people are annoyed with the hybrid reverse sound, saying it’s too loud and waking up neighbors ? thoughts?
@@HAHAnayhoeja you know, it is annoying. I've been told it can be heard from about 50 feet! I'm adjusting and hope my neighbors are too bcus it is what it is. ☺
It's funny I was comparing a Tucson Hybrid Limited to the Santa Fe Calligraphy trim as well lol
also heard about the auto engine shutoff feature that is really annoying and you cant turn it off permanently
I'm loving my new SEL convenience hybrid AWD, it even lets you know when the car in front of you pulls away at a stoplight and warns you to check rear seats for those that leave their pets and kids in a hot car. awsome rearview monitor and Android auto gets you where you need to go
I’m also looking for the same as you,but the dealer tells me they are out of stock right now due to microchip shortage.Hopefully inventory will be back to normal soon.
Hi does the hybrid sel convenience has the same touch screen as limited or it has knobs? Also does it has the ambient interior lighting similar to limited? I am confused between sel convenience and limited
Lack of knobs doesn't bother me. I don't miss the volume knob. I use the volume control on my steering wheel 99% of the time anyway. All the safety and driver assistance tech and excellent drive quality and performance make it worthwhile. I bought the 2022 Tucson hybrid limited after test driving also the top lines of the RAV4, XC40, and CR-V--Tucson hybrid limited beat em all in my book.
This is how I drive, too. I prefer a clean, streamlined touchscreen and never use knobs - I find them distracting. Glad to hear your viewpoint.
what do you think the rav4 lacks compared to the tucson?
Thanks fur a fair and honest review! I'm sold! I'll be ordering my new Tucson Hybrid Limited next this week. The comprehensive safety features, the 360° camera, the ride (I test drove one last night), the comfort, space, and Hybrid performance have me sold! I'll be upgrading from my '21 Kona Limited AWD I bought last year. I love the Kona, and I thought the Kona would be enough space, but it's too small for my needs. Thanks for the honest review! Can't wait to trade up!
RAV4 < Tucson. It's really too easy to see the Tucson is a better choice
I loved the rear, including the logo style and position. The tail lights match the front DRL in styling, which is another esthetics redifined
Love the car. I love the “creases” as you called them. I love the tail lights. We’re on completely opposite spectrums regarding the exterior of the car.
I just love the exterior & interior. Hyundai just nailed it.🔥🔥
Definitely considering it - I love the styling and and the upgrades... now if I could just find one to drive...
If you told me 14 or so years ago that I would buy a Hyundai and spend about $40K for it, I would have laughed you right out of the room! However, in 2022, here we are! I just got mine two weeks ago, and I love it! I went with the Tuscon Hybrid Limited, and believe me, the extra features on this trim, if you have the budget for it, are money well spent. I did also test the standard gas version, and while it also was very nice, the Hybrid is most definitely the way to go, again, if your budget allows. The safety features are among the best in class. The drive is super smooth, and it has great pickup/acceleration... on the Hybrid version (I admit, the standard gas version drove very nicely too, but the reduced horsepower and torque is apparent). The tech is top notch all around (and I consider myself a techie). Finally, the exterior styling is just, in a word, innovative!
I know the radio and instrument panel for the lack of wireless Android Auto (on the limited version) and the lack of a knob for volume gets a bit of a bum rap, but I think the criticism is a bit overblown on this. Though I agree it is curious the lack of Wireless Android Auto on the Limited trim, the built in GPS honestly is notably better than what you would get with Android Auto anyways... plus it utilizes the full ultrawide screen (which Android Auto only uses part of), and you can still wirelessly charge your phone (bluetooth works perfectly good for casting your playlist on the superior Bose sound system, by the way). As far as the volume keys, I think most of us will find ourselves using the steering wheel mostly for that anyway, so that seems a bit nitpicky, in my opinion, in the grand scheme of things. In short, it looks great, it feels great to drive, has the best standard manufacturer warranty on the market, and just has a lot of great innovations.
$40k fourteen years ago is not the same as $40k today; hint: compounded inflation. So, no, you did not pay $40k-something in 2008 dollars.
I have read a lot of comments on different videos people test driving all the other brands and still coming back to the Hyundai even though the Hyundai is not the cheapest one anymore I have had Hyundai’s and Kia since 2003 as my work vehicle and they have performed flawlessly with hundreds of thousands of miles on them two of them with way over 200,000 and zero money in repairs.
Love the interior of the new one. I personally like the exterior styling of the previous model. Great review Matt😀
I think it actually looks really good in person.
Very informative video - thx! What specific color is the one featured in this video? It is gray of some sort, but wondering if it is "Amazon Gray" or another color. I have heard that the Hybrid does not come in "Portofino Gray". Hoping I heard incorrectly... Thank you.
Gotta say the very last thing I care about when buying a car is the tail lights and rear emblem
Some reviews of the 2022 Tuscan point to the lack of any KNOBS. The reviewers wonder if Hyundai didn't learn anything from Honda when they removed the KNOBS and everyone went crazy, WHERE ARE THE KNOBS? I wonder if those reviewers have looked at a Tesla with NO KNOBS. Tesla cars are selling like hotcakes with NO KNOBS. I think some reviewers need to move into the 21st century. Oh, I looked around my house and saw that my stove has ONLY BUTTONS, my refrigerator has ONLY BUTTONS, my Google home hub has ONLY BUTTONS, my thermostat has ONLY BUTTONS. JUST SAYING!!!
AMEN!!!!
I don’t understand the gripe about no knob.
When did you last drive your fridge? Just saying.
I always use the steering wheel anyway
It's just convenient and frankly, much safer to drive. At least with the knob you can reach for it without having to look for it. I have volume control access on my steering wheel, but it's not as quick as the knob when you have to lower or raise the volume. But on the other hand, they removed the gear shift and opted for push button.
Carguru, you probably have access to Hyundai people; so I’d like to ask if you can you ask Hyundai to stop placing the turn signals on the rear bumper bottom. Style wise it might be cool but from a driving, safety and visibility standpoint especially in traffic it isn’t easily viewable from drivers behind you. Place it higher up, this is where being normal is better. 👍🏼
Quick question-
Which one will give better MPG if I have to drive longer trips like 200-300 miles at a stretch? Normal Hybrid or Plugin Hybrid? I am not considering to buy fully electric at this time because of charging station issue.
The car in my mind is Hyundai Tucson or SantaFe or Toyota RAV4.
Thanks in advance.
interested in this or plug-in... but reads some Hyundai/Kia fire, engine fail issues, what do you think? Thanks!
I appreciate your honesty in reviewing this vehicle
Just bought one yesterday! Great so far
The hybrid SEL convenience with 8" display has the physical "knobs" for volume and channel. Plus wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay.
If you're bothered by the all touch design, get the lower trim.💁♂️
Has the wireless android auto been doing well? Really frustrating wire android auto.
I'm still waiting for mine to come but on my test drives, it worked perfectly each time
I just got the SEL Convenience Hybrid AWD model yesterday and they have addressed the criticism about not having a volume control: mine has a roll type control on the left side of the display monitor. I am very happy with it so far: it drives great and has a beautiful interior and exterior. I am still learning all the features. I really like its having Apple Carplay which allows me to use Waze or Google Maps in place of having to have a built-in navigation system. My previous car was a 2012 Hyundai Sonata which was a great car, but it did start having some issues after 10 years which led to my decision to trade it. I think Hyundai makes great products.
Thanks for this video. You made me think a little more about buying this vehicle. Can's you adjust the volume and radio stations with the steering wheel buttons?
yes you can..quite easily, plus you can mute from steering wheel : )
I have the Hybrid Blue trim that includes the radio control buttons and roller knobs. I'd much rather have those than a larger screen that is touch only. This vehicle is fantastic! Super quiet and smooth ride. The turbo engine plus electric motor gives it excellent acceleration. It gets more fuel efficient each month. I've had it for 2 months and my average MPG has gone from 30 mpg to currently 40 mpg after 2000 miles. I wanted AWD and the price difference between gas AWD and hybrid AWD was small so I went hybrid. Well worth the extra purchase price since gas prices shot up a month after I purchased it!
Glad to hear the efficiency increases with use. I just got my 2023 hybrid blue last week. I love it so far too. So smooth and comfortable. I only got 32 mpg on the first tank but then it went up to 38 mpg on the next. I think it needs to break in a bit. Hoping to get around 40mpg average. How’s your Tucson doing now?
Thanks for all the information, my husband bought me the Tucson model yesterday. Had to kiss my 2006 Avalon goodbye.
The SEL trim on the regular Tucson can be equipped with 2 optional packages to be as nice as the Tucson on the exterior & in the interior
This was an amazing review and let's me know that I have a lot more viewing to do before I make my final decision on a new vehicle 🙂God bless,
It is 2021 and the reviewer is complaining about a lack of knobs, and the Hyundai rear logo placement, but he is rocking a combover. Take his opinion on aesthetics with a grain of salt. I don’t think owners of this vehicle will miss the knobs.
😂😂
Hey Matt, The American version of 2022 Tucson Hybrid comes with (ISG) switch button located in the center console? Because the Canadian version did not come with this feature. I'm so disappointed by manufacturer because I owned Canadian version of 2022 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate.
All the buttons deleted from the main screen that you mess with during driving have been added to the steering wheel so you can adjust and adapt while keeping your eyes on the road
The car is sharp! I like it!
KBB said the gas only Tucson is "slow". Get the Hybrid, if you can't stand the lack of buttons look at the 2022 Kia Sportage Hybrid.
How tall are you and can you stand under the tailgate/hatch without vanging your head and slouching?
U can control the volume from the steering wheel
I love this car i am considering buying a SEL hybrid only thing i hate is the rear turn signals in the bumper seems like a safety hazard
Just started making crossovers.
You want that knob only because you are a reviewer, NOT an actual user. I have all the knobs and real buttons on my sonata hybrid, but I rarely use them. Hyundai's steering wheel control is designed really well that if you are the owner, you won't miss those knobs. Only if you are a reviewer or a renter who is not familiar with the design, you would want that knob for a no-brainer switch between vehicles.
I think it really depends on the person... but they always have the option to go for the lower trim or the Santa Fe, both of which have all the physical controls.
you also dont have to keep poking at the up and down like he was showing just hold finger on it and it goes up or down fast
@@benjaminnhlam2867 the only reason for a knob that I can think of is at drive thru etc where you need quick mute. And Hyundai has a one button mute on steering wheel that I find myself using it most often. Other than that I cannot think of any use of the knob.
I don't like the knobs because I will invariably turn the A/C knob when I really want the radio knob. I know better, but for some reason, my choice is always the wrong one. Give me touch!!!
@@jlarm3 yea. Like those USB type A ports, have to take 3 tries to make a right 🤣.
That's why I love the USB C
I have one of these. It does hustle pretty good. Through corners it is ok. Body roll is more than I expected. The suspension is on the soft side, not really to my liking. But the worst part is the tendency for the rear end to take a little hop sideways if you encounter a bump in a high speed corner. Yup, the lack of buttons on the center console is stupid. On the plus side, the voice commands work fairly well. The only really good safety feature added to the limited is the surround view camera. The rest of stuff is crap.
Hyundai hit it out of the ballpark with the Tucson's design. Doesn't look like any of the other vehicles it competes with.
Killed it
After a year of ownership of a bright red Tucson in top trim with white interior I can testify this car is almost perfect and looks great. These carves have a function. They broaden the wheel areas. And that piano black gloss does fine. Just use a little cloth to dust off dust. I do that once a month and it stays perfect.
The only downside is the Lane Assist has to be disabled after every start. And there is no regular Cruise Control. That so called Smart CC is not smart at all. I only use the emergency assists, not the driving assists. But the car still amazes me every day I drive it. Best car ever, for me.
Aside from the hbyrid motor, that deep angled creasing on the body is what piqued my interest.
Spend more time on what the vehicle can do your taste is very different than mine I love the new tail lights, sculpted sides and the ones you said will age better already look aged.
I wanna see the Kia Sportage hybrid vs this car to see the difference before I trade my current shortage.
I do not like the front end, or the sheet metal behind the front wheel wells.
how many kilometers can he catch on the highway with ev?
It only has a 13.7 gallon gas tank. So this will affect the range between fill ups.
What colour is this?
I disagree with your strong opinion of the rear emblem. I think it's in the right place hiding away the rain wiper and can easily be covered with a tinted sticker further making people wonder if it's a luxury SUV.
I think regardless of the name luxury is all over it and very stylistic
@CarGurus Which colour do you like the most? Help me decide.
Can someone tell me what in the world has gotten too high and dies brain now it looks like they're trying to put the turn signals back down on the bumper. I remember cars in the seventies had that!!! What are they shooting for, Cro-Magnon man next??
No spare tire? That is my major concern.
We have the plugin here in Sweden already, have not checked it out, just de hybrid and it looks really nice if you choose the advanced version (most gear, your limited I think). Both the mild hybrid and the hybrid has big road tax nowadays and the plugin grant you like 3000us cash back after 6 month owned by the goverment. Also only 40us in road tax a year compared to up to 900 for the mild hybrid and like 700 for the hybrid. So considering that the plugin is the way to go if you look at it in the long run, if you don't want to go fully electric that is, then you get a 8000us cash back on any full electric car :) I have the 'old' Tucson limited right now, considering the new one..
Nice. Crazy here in us hasn’t even been announced and will be only in select states. I opted to purchase the 22 Tuscan SEL hybrid which I love.
Shout out Fjallraven Raven.
Amazing vehicle nice hundai vehicle
Which color is this shown in the video
Dark teal
It's Amazon grey , figured it from cargurus
@@mustafafe6096 teal is not available in north america.
@@RiasatAbir I just got one dark teal with black interior Ultimate full options 👍🏻🤗
@@mustafafe6096 not in USA
And to think.. I wanted a Rav4 Prime 😅
Your personal dings on the exterior aesthetics are yours alone. May be a little more car reviewing and a little less personal commentary. Other than that, pretty good review.
The display shows so much dust because there's no hood to block light from above from reflecting off the dust.
i have this exact model and while dust does collect, one swipe with my microfiber cloth and dust is gonzo : ) Also, he showed the dust by filming at it on an angle- Dead on Frontal view, you don't see the dust specs like that, i promise you. It would drive me crazy if it DID! BTC
I don’t know any car that doesn’t collect dust regardless of hood or none.
I keep a microfiber cloth in my glove all my cars collect dust.
See you guys in 40 minutes!
What about the problem of Hyundai Tuscon Hybrids having no spare tires in the back? It only has flat tire fix kit supposedly. Is that ok with Hybrid owners?
Yes I agree about the spare tire...I had my dealer install the spare and tools in my 2022 Tucson hybrid. Peace of mind!
@@ewenmacdonald115
What did they charge you for that?
@@stevenma5130 I got the tools and full size spare mounted for $200 in Canada.
@@WeAreFreeAudits Yes for sure. You might only need it once or possibly never, but the peace of mind you get with having a spare tire is more than worth the cost! Those tire mobility/inflation kits are a small step up from entirely useless.
It would have been a deal breaker for me not having the spare. The dealer installed one for me at no extra charge and they left the flat tire fix kit too.
Touch screens do wear out too..not to mention finger prints
That rear Hyundai badge is exactly where the wiper would go. Does it have a rear wiper?
Its present underneath that aerodynamic roof spoiler
Amazingly they moved it under the roof, out of sight. Best idea ever
Not sure why they never tell you what colour the car that there reviewing is
No 6? Hate 4 cylinder cars...can’t deal in NJ interstate driving
NJ Interstates?? Ha Ha!! Try West Texas I10 where posted speed limit is 80. Just don't try and drive 80 because you will get run-over!!
@@jlarm3 that’s how 287 is in NJ...speed limit is 65 but god help you if you have an 18 wheeler behind you..
Hyundai makes some really cool cars. They need to get rid of that "K-Mart" looking discount Logo. Yikes, it looks like a perpetual "Blue Light Special."
Cambiar un bonvillo delanteros
You should learn high tech parts with auto.
So pretty much you complained about everything while reviewing this car :)) despite all that , I'm still getting it 😀
The screens are the thing that kills this car for me. I hate big touchscreens in cars, and having one for my speedometer just looks awful to me. Also, I wish cars like this would prioritize visibility over looks.
Bye Forrester
A lot of car for the money, could replace my CX5 Turbo with this...
m-b EQC
Before i have a Hyundai accent its fun to drive. But the only problem is the price of hyundai car is expensive and the parts like battery. And also when i go to the dealer wow no body knows how to speak english. All koreans. Hahaha BTS 😢😢😢
OMG! So many reviewers and older people moaning, winging, complaining about the lack of buttons etc. This is the 21st century, there are multiple ways of controlling the volume etc without buttons, get use to them and move with the times people. If you don’t like vehicles without physical buttons, simply just don’t look at it, buy it or consider it, but seriously you all need to stop with your negative comments just because it does not suit your needs or you don’t like the manufacturer or vehicle. Frankly if you have nothing positive or constructive to say about anything then just keep it shut. There is already too much negativity in this world today and people don’t need you older generations or you reviewers jumping on the band wagon.
I think the Tucson looks better the its cousin kia Sportage
@Jackie Apreil I prefer the Tucson’s styling more
First Comment!
🍪
A big let down for as long as Hyundai took to release a new Tuscan. The powertrains are both very underwhelming. They hybrid is not smooth or fast. The touch capacitive controls instead of knobs and buttons for hvac and stereo controls is a huge step backwards. A miss in my opinion and I love Hyundai/Kia/Genesis products.
Gotta like those dents in the door. Terrible design
The exterior design is overdone…it’s looks like it’s trying too hard..
I wish this guy would keep his negative comments to himself. It just doesn’t make for a good video. He’s not doing this new car any favors.
It’s called giving an impartial review. Better than only hearing the positive.
Frankly with your negative Attitude and drama just made me unsubcribe. Why cry over and over when the car has multiple ways of lowering/raising volume. Bye bye
hyundai must be paying you reviewers a ton of money to ignore the fact that they try to steer into oncoming traffic on 2 lane highways on left hand curves.
NO DO NOT BUY THIS CAR 18-20MPG AVERAGE DRIVING DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES - $40,000 MISTAKE
Exterior body looks fine but this car is cheap & trash interior trash seating, except limited trim. Only limited trim is worth having it.
Even hybrid BLUE is cheap interior comparing Honda CRV EX or EXL.
you know after the Fourth" you let me know what you think".. You stop being the Car reviewer an just a spec sheet reader..very Millennial, a very sad state of affairs..
