New 2021 Hyundai Tucson: Should you buy one? | Auto Expert John Cadogan

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2020
- This is my first look at the new Hyundai Tucson, due to go on sale late in the first half of 2021. It's a pre-production model, for visual display only.

A heavy commercial burden attaches to Tucson. It’s Hyundai’s top-selling model, totalling seven million units in traffic so far. That’s since 2004. Seven million - so if you parked them all nose-to-tail they would encircle the earth. That’s a lot of Tucsons. (Roughly one for every resident of Arizona...)
And this one is the 4th Generation - it’s a little bigger but, frankly, a lot more polished. Just don’t be breath-holding on this. Not yet. This report is just a tease, of sorts. We won’t get this new Tucson in Straya until late in the first half of 2021.
Of course, the principal design challenge with all new models is instantly to make the outgoing one look just a little bit crap - because nothing motivates an otherwise happy owner to upgrade more than an injection of new hotness on the showroom floor. And in this respect, I think they’ve knocked it out of the park. It’s definitely a head-turner. And it makes the outgoing one look instantly obsolete.
Apparently there’s that new CVVD technology as well - the continuously variable valve duration thingo, which is quite clever because it improves combustion efficiency across a range of operating conditions and punts fuel economy to the next level without compromising refinement or power delivery. So that’s quite a neat thermodynamics hack.
You can expect the full safety suite with new Tucson, which is to say: top-shelf crashworthiness - including, probably, that new headbutt-preventing centre airbag between the seats at the front, plus (sadly) all of the borderline annoying, false-positive-overdosed crash prevention stuff, which is there principally to hump ANCAP’s leg so enthusiastically, in pursuit of five stars. All the carmakers are doing this lately, not just Hyundai. An unfortunate and annoying sign of the times.
The interior is rather gorgeous. The exterior is edgy. Not everyone’s gunna be infatuated with the sharp angles.
So, basically, I think new Tucson, when it lobs, is going to make some competitors - notably X-TRAIL, CR-V, RAV4, maybe even CX-5, and certainly Sportage - look old. It’s a super-competitive segment, so they’ll need to be sharp with the price. But if you’re in the market for a five-seat SUV and you’re not up against the pressure of time, I’d give it four or five months. Because this is a segment disruptor right here.
I’ll keep you posted when I know more.
Well done explaining the solar panel on the roof of the car! Finally, someone did it in a simple and proper way.
I was looking for it!!! Thanks a lot!
This guy is fantastic, far more than just a car journo... A genuinely funny and interesting guy to listen to... 😊
Yeah, he is awesome. (Seriously, thank you very much.)
@@AutoExpertJC so are his t-shirts!
Auto Expert John Cadogan love how you do t hold back John. If a car is it’s shit. If it’s good it’s good. Can’t wait to hear what you think of this new baby’s is like on the road. Especially this new highway assist.
He has come a long way from being a lemon farmer
Well duh!
As far as I'm concerned, John Cadogan is a living legend 🤷🏻♂️ onya mate 🤙
Full sized spare is always a win in my book ✌🏾😎✌🏾
Hyundai/Kia have really turned a corner in recent years
...while the others have gone around the bend and into the precipice. 🤣😋
The new Hyundai Tucson and the new KIA Sportage nQ5 rock the mid-range SUV!
Tried to talk my mate into buying a Santa Fe like mine 2 years ago. He poopoed the Koreans & went Mercedes SUV. He rang today & is stuck in Byron Bay with a Merc that will not start & now wishes he gone Korean or Japanese 🤣🤣.
Merc is a gift that never stops giving.
Unfortunately Franco, he's probably also stuck with a factory roadside assist package. LOL happy 2 hour wait and if it was my day on, happy meeting with MattyD and probably his NOCO jump starter.
Love my Santa Fe. Wont swap with any Benz!
@@AutoExpertJC They did have 1 great moment in history. They're the one German car company that when asked by Hitler to produce a personal car for him presented him with an estimate of the cost before considering building the car;)
Don't know where it is but Byron Bay sounds pretty nice
The reason I can keep watching this channel, is because the host can teach actual science. Keep up the highly educational science segments Out of all seriousness, that new Tucson looks outstanding. If you buy some other junk over this new Tucson, let alone a German junk box over this, you need your head read.
John, Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.

Hey look pre-dented doors! The first new car i wouldn't be paranoid parking at a Westfields :P
Isn’t the current Tucson embroiled in yet another self-combustion debacle at the moment, a-la Ford Kuga and some VWs? Hopefully this has been engineered out of this forthcoming model.
This car looks very busy from outside, inside it's very elegant.
Excellent review on the new Tucson, I really think it’s a fabulous looking car and dare I say it, side profile very Lamborghini looking.
Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
stay safe and well. And of course Christmas wishes to you and happy new new.
I'm on my fourth Tucson - Never a problem apart from a Power Steering Pump on a Mk 1 I regret the passing of the 2.7L V6! - Great Sound! Starex for moving the staff, and a 2005 Getz that just goes and goes! THANK YOU TO GEORGE TURNBULL!
Someone else is responsible for the other 6,999,996 Tucsons sold, then...
love it! I heard from the S.Korean (asianpertrolhead) the 1.6 turbo costs US $20,000 the 2.0 diesel $22000.
I've been pretty sold on the new kia sorrento, but this being generally be 10k less and seems to have absolutely everything still I know find myself in a very hard place haha. 10k saving is no joke
Absolute 🐐 of the NO bullshit car connoisseur playlist! Hat off to you Mr. Cadogan.
This new Tucson certainly made my 2yo Tucson look a bit dated.
On topic of electromobile - In slow trafic you cant really hear tire rolling, specially in a busy street. On the other had, we can hear a diesel engine in advance. Its not an urban myth John. All the best :)
Thanks for the story John. Not a fan of smaller engines working harder with turbochargers, they don’t seem to have the longevity of non turbocharged engines.
The Victorian Railways introduced the all-electric L class locomotive that replaced steam locomotives in the LaTrobe Valley hauling bricquette trains. Because they were relatively quiet and collected the occasional ganger were called “Whispering Death”.
Melbourne's trams aren't fussy either and have collected the occasional pedestrian and motor vehicle alike. 😫😥
Back to the future. Early 60's Valiant had push button auto.
Different but the same...
Richard Kaz Had an S type valiant many years ago. slant six with push button auto. Loved it.
Definitely getting one..
To be honest, I wasn't that taken with the styling of the new Tucson - the exterior looks very fussy with lots of odd lines and creases, rather like the design of the latest generation Toyota SUVs and crossovers. The interior was ok, though the dash display for the speedo etc looked a bit tacky and not really 'life-like'. One downside of having lots of odd shapes on the car, including the lights, is that it significantly bumps up the cost of manufacturing, and as a consequence, the cost of replacements and insurance costs.
I'd rather go for a more minimalist, elegant design that looks 'classically' stylish and where, hopefully, parts are cheaper because they are easier to make. It's one of the reasons I really like the styling of the current generation crop of Mazdas.
@@adrianwilliamson6861 My criticism of the interior was really only on the dash display area. Everything else was fine, not brilliant, but decent. I agree about the exterior - going over the top on styling (rather like with women and their outfits, make-up and cosmetic surgery) is something that is indeed a in-fashion today, not tomorrow look. I prefer the 'less-is-more' approach to designs.
Buyers who bought Tucson which is built after July 2020 missed out on Autolink. Any news about why auto link was discontinued. Also, customers who were expecting that feature , would be dismayed that they are not getting it. Is there any recourse for them?
Those exceptionals at GM and Ford in America missed the boat on the future of motoring in Australia. Hyundai and Kia slipped in there and kicked them where it hurts.
Yeah - with both feet.

@Josh Owensreminds me of a guy in work, he buys ranger, goes on about how good it was,how advanced with its fly by wire 4x4 system, 2018 model. He said i'd have a hyundai if i could just get past the badge? Showed him my old terracan, 2005, with its fly by wire 4x4 system, and that shut him up. Love hyundai, owned a terra for 6 yrs,and just bought another terra.
Great review. Love the refreshing honesty.
No gas struts for the bonnet suggest some serious penny pinching, otherwise it’s an awesome car.
Pink Floyd’s dark side of the moon was and still is a masterpiece!
I would prefer not to have them because when they get old one day they unexpectedly fail on you you have you are working on the car and it hurts it happened to me once when I was changing my spark plugs

Have they improved the seats ?. I handed back my 2016 Tuscon Premium because the seats were like sitting on a wooden park bench. SO hard. Apparently there have been lots of complaints about this and they accepted the Return. Mine was the 2.0d 185bhp.
Seemed OK to me.
Absolutely love your humor!!!
Yeah, the 1.6T Smartstreams are the ones I was referring to. Different to the ex-1.6 T-GDI. Awesome design and review of a new car we won't get for almost a year! I see a lot of Starwars characters which makes it more appealing. Lucky you for checking it out so early!
It was too good an opportunity to pass up. Thanks for watching, Albert.
Hi John, just stumbled across your channel (drunk again), like your style mate but that is enough pissing in your pocket! Just love the look of this new Tucson, have been a bit of a brand snob in the past ( Lexus / Volvo ) but I would certainly consider this stylish looking SUV.Look forward to a test drive. Cheers mate.
Thanks for the great review. just hope the price will be right and not a huge increase due to all the new features. This ticks all the boxes for me so I’m planning to get one.
I've been watching quite a few of his videos, no comments allowed a few years back. One thing I noticed, he raves about adaptive cruise control and heads up display on the windscreen available in the 2017 models; I have enjoyed both of those on my Lexus RX350 since 2009.
I've got a 2017 Tucson Highlander Diesel which I'm very happy with. I wasn't even considering changing it but holy cow that new model is enticing.
That Pre Production Tucson looks like the Highlander variant for here. Apparently, more basic versions will have a slightly different grille & a more basic Bluelink Infotainment system. Pity we have to wait a little longer to get it, but it should be worth the wait.
John I have been made aware of quite alarming claims of bad manufacturing of some Hyundai cars and SUV,s mainly from the USA Vehicles catching fire,excessive oil use and other failures.I have owned a Hyundai 2016 active since 2017 I have only 51k on the speedo and have no issues except a failed window mechanism that they would not fix under warranty,could you advise if there is a real issue with Hyundai.
They hit this design out of the park, even though I'm not particularly into the single tail light design. Also, the interior has a nice cohesiveness to it.
It looks pretty good in the flesh, and white is often the worst colour for first impressions...

The panel beaters are gonna love fixing a classic T bone with this baby.
The new Tucson looks great however they have taken a reputation hit here in Canada with the cars catching on fire even when turned off. They’ll have to work on that to catch up to the sales numbers of the Rav 4 and CRV.
The only hyundais that caught fire at your part of the world is from that shitty factory in Alabama 2nd rav4 also has fire issues and a hell of a recall 3rd i cant understand why in Europe hyundai and kia are the top reliability brands with live examples not only some rating company and not in the US/CANADA because Americans are not reliable as engineers and methodical as are in other parts of the world. Also recalls all companies have.
Add for electric vehicles, I was nearly bit by a Prius breaking out of a parking spot as I was walking past. I did not hear any road or wind noise.. going very slow..
Wow John that car must be really good, as it's the first time I've almost seen you gushing over a car😁 Excellent report as always!
Thank you, but I only gush with the Ming molls
@@AutoExpertJC Well that's totally understandable, they're absolutely worth gushing over in more ways then one 😛
Hi John,
Great report. In my opinion this is Hyundai’s E46 moment. The E46 launched BMW across the planet as a well engineered package with few compromises plus great styling cues. Many manufacturers would have stripped down an E46 for a close look, I suspect the same will happen with this new Tucson. Many thanks again.
It does seem like 'one small step...'
What's with the rear indicators? Why have they moved them so low and so far away from the brake lights? I know there are some models of vehicles with low indicators, but if a vehicle is going to turn and the brake lights come on as they slow down, the indicators are not so noticeable when they are located so low. Personally I think they are dangerous.
I haven't seen you this ebullient and cheerful for new model (4 wheel or 2 legged) in ages.
I hope Hyundai is making their electronic park brake module more reliable than they did on the 2013 Santa Fe. $3700 to replace the EPB module if it sh*ts itself. On my 3rd EPB module since I bought the car new. Lucky the first one went in the first week of ownership. The second one went a month ago. Gotta love the stealership. I really enjoy your vids. Keep em coming John.
I can tell you when hybrid cars are in those cheeky 10-20 km/h speed zones in tourist areas, even I got caught out and didn't notice it creeping up on me. Especially true with our screaming South East trading partners walking around everywhere...
That Prius gave you no warning, huh? Just made its damn move. How did you fight it off?

God help the owner who gets a ding on one of the wings. Find a body shop to follow those lines.
Hey, that's racist... some dings have nice bodies. 🤣😆😋
Nice review John I can see this is making those competitors look old! - I think we all are eagerly waiting on a Genesis G80 or GV80 review if you get your hands on one!
That GV80 looks awesome in the flesh - especially in the darker colours.
@@AutoExpertJC Get excited! Hope they get a foothold to take on Lexii and the Gerks oops Germans* sorry.
This brand just keeps getting better and better.
A very interesting video john. Love it.
Thank you.
Dear John. How tall are you? I am tall +190cm. I find all Asian vehicles engineered for small Asian people, thus the seats are always too small for me. This is certainly true for all Hyundais pre 2020 I have trialled.
Four foot two inches, in heels.
@@AutoExpertJC Baahaahaaa! ...thort so. 🤣😂😆😋
Love it !. Does it have adaptive Cruise like the XV ? Thinking it may be close to time to update my 2004 Tucson. :)
The interior is perfect. But from a car detailers perspective that black centre console makes me cringe. I'd be cleaning it every other day. The only two elements of car I don't like, is 5 spoke wheels. I have hatred of 5 spoke wheels. And other thing I'm not fussed on is the lower 2 running lights. Actually, dump the 5 spokes and this car is nearly perfect. And being autistic and having ADHD me liking a car this much is something else.
I agree that black is just gagging to look dirty at every turn mate. I can take or leave the wheels.
Great review. Thank you!
I don't agree with your last point (well I do but disagree with the last sentence). Put that solar panel, put a fridge in your car, a 105ah 12v battery and enjoy a cold drink. Make sure you have enough beer to last you a lifetime because between the panel and the battery you might he there for a while.
Great video mate, as always. Hey do you know roughly how much the tucson will start at?
I believe they are roughly $ 34.000 +_
I have the current Tucson. I alraedy want the new one.
A little worried if this new tucson is going to have the same issues like the previous generation like short circuit which could potentially cause fire on the engine. Considering buying but not limiting to this particular SUV.
On the subject of silent electric cars: Electric cars are virtually silent at very low speeds, such as you might expect in a car park, or just after starting. I myself have had close encounters with electric cars for that reason. Another is that there is no audible warning before they take off. An internal combustion car has to start the engine before driving away, which gives you at least a second's warning. An electric car can just start moving without warning.
Don't get me wrong: In both cases I had been partially at fault for not being as aware of my surroundings as I should have been, but that silent engine is not making it easier.
Hi John
I’m considering buying a 2020 Tucson Elite demo, at $36,900, it’s got 5000kms on the clock. Does that sound good value to you? Should I hang off and wait for the new model to be released, for an even better deal on the old model? Or just wait and buy the new model and probably $10k more?
Cheers
Ben
No one heard if the huge class action lawsuit in USA for engine failures and fires related to many hyundai kia models.
Not going to lie, Hyundai did a great job on this model, just wish manufacturers would integrate the Ipad screens into the dash

Very nice... but I am still waiting on the Hyundai Ute? .. or has that disappeared into the ether......
Don't breath-hold on that one...
@@AutoExpertJC Rivian it is then ! Hahaha
At low speed, the sound energy output of the rolling resistance form the tyres or the sound from the air displacement is low, very low.
"Yeah mate" at highway speeds the burning engine sound is but a small factor, at low speeds, it's the whole factor!
You like facts John. It would be awesome to hear your beer garden physics lesson on this.
11:30 I sleep in the room closest to the road. I can hear cars at night on the road 200m apart. Wheel noise is enough to detect vehicles in the very few situations where you wouldn't need to look thrice before crossing the road. If everyone gets quiet cars we would be able to hear them all fine as we adjust. If people won't look before crossing the street, then let natural selection take over.
Same could be said for those drivers who rely on the bells and chimes to drive safely. Look for danger or shake hands with it.
Yes, but we must protect a much loved and endangered species... the deaf, dumb, and blind ming mole. 🤣😋
Hi, is this model part of the recent recall? I want to get one, but it is very worisome knowing that Hyundai has not still cleared issues with spontaneous combustion with their cars until now.
Just an idea but has anyone worked on using the movement of oil through dampers to generate charge?
How exactly would that work?
@@AutoExpertJC I'm no engineer but it seems like an unavoidable use of energy is being wasted by transfer to heat. Would seem like tiny turbines in the dampers? Might seem trivial but if you think how much they move every km travelled?
...and what about wind turbines mounted on the roof of the car and dark matter collector scoops on the bonnet (hood)? 😆😋
Having bought a current model Tuscon last year, I wish they had a 2.4 ltr engine. While the 2 litre is fine, id like more go without a turbo.
I have watched the overseas reviews of the Tucson (Redline Reviews and Asian Petrolhead) and liked the overall view and interior especially. The only thing that I am not keen on is the extended DRLs on the sides of the grill.
Hmm this should be available when I'm looking to replace my Subie Outback. hmmmmmmm
I’m thinking this be good upgrade for my 2016 Impreza 😳
I have a question unrelated to this video. Why don't diesels suffer from inlet valve carbon build up, being injected?
My wife and myself are looking at buying a Tuson and a Kona around Xmas should we wait for the new models ? We are looking at the elite versions . Cheers mate and thank you for your great reviews
With the push button auto - do you need to depress the brake to change gears? Reminds me of an Alison transmission on a bus or truck. So long as it works when you want to and can't be triggered accidentally, it seems fine to me.
Shut up and take my Money... in 5 - 6 months time... Interested in the N Line version, unfortunately I dont have deep enough pockets for the N version if either ever arrive here.
I think it will be popular as hell.
Need this now

My only concern is hot sunlight cooking that nice screen - you might have to stick some newspaper/ cardboard over the top to stop it going kaput.
Yeah - that'd look great. Like, a VB carton, or an egg crate.
@@AutoExpertJC thats easily fixed you'd call it a solar thermal inter screen ( as an optional extra)
Looks like John goes to the Hyundai christmas party this year.
I am confused by this video and one that I saw from Korea. The infotainment console looks so much different than that what is currently advertised in the US. I like the one in this video
You’ve got to give the engineers who are responsible for these great vehicles a really big pat on the back because it’s no easy task, there is a hell of a lot of work that goes into pulling this off and the world is a better place for it.
The currently on sale Qashqai vs Tucson, to be perfectly honest having owned both. The 1.6 diesel on the Nissan with a manual is a way better engine that the Tucson 2.0 185hp one. Its more quiet and elastic, also obviously the economy is at another level. But overall the materials inside the Nissan are of better quality, the 1st Qashqai had a multi-link suspension at the rear and the lack on the 2nd gen J11 is felt.
Overall, if anyone is looking to keep long time a car, NEVER buy a new generation car, its likely that you'll have issues due to it being 1st production lot. Usually facelift is the way to do.
Good pre-review John. "Parametric Dynamics" - seems like one of the new kids on the design team did an excellent job in Solidworks and got an instant pay rise.
Good review John....The chuckle factor was way up ..Thanks
Bought hyundai tuscon 2005. For the 1 year i had to change the plastic door handles all 4 of them as they came off. Top luggage rack plastic also breaking. Aircond dial 1234 can only use 12 . My mechanic told me I hv to change the whole thing. Very very costly. Gear box top cover broke.
When I bought the car after a year gearbox issue. Thinking of changing to japanse.
2005 hyundai models were cheaper materials don't compare 2005 with 2021 they re worlds apart.
This new Tucson looks good. I don't really "need" a SUV other than something to throw the bike in and a higher driving position but this is on the radar for my next conveyance.
Hardly anyone 'needs' an SUV...
I'm jealous of this car (owner of current tuscon highlander)
Pretty cool. How smaller is this compared to the 5-seat Santa Fe (the smaller variant)? Does it feel noticeably less roomy inside?
But doesn't Hyundai already put a solar array on their Sun-ata? I believe Hyundai claims an additional 1300kms / year in range with this array.
I like it. Too bad I need a car now so Seltos is my pick atm.
Looks great but going backwards with no heads up display?
Nice looking car. Would it comvince me to hold off on the new Kluger until this out and really compare? Maybe. And I'm a Toyota guy through and through.
Hyundai and Kia are leading the industry with great design, innovation and build quality.
Available here last half of 2021? Great... just in time for the end of year ‘Run-out’ sales! This will obviously be a short-listed contender for many, but I’m not a fan of more piano black dust magnets, nor how that ‘waterfall’ display will likely fare if you also have a sunroof. Piano black rainbows to entertain you while driving perhaps? 🌈
Hi John. I see there is no sun visor over that digital instrument panel on the new Tucson. And the dash is pretty reclined. I wonder about the practicality of that, or is that some wonder new kind of black hole material that doesn't reflect a thing? Or the problem is me and my hand painting on the wall of my cave?
I'll be interested to see how it performs, driving on a sunny day...
Is there a longer wheel base in this 2021 car for Australia i heard something about this or is the 2020 model a small suv and this a medium
I'm 95% sure I'll be buying one of these on release - I absolutely love it and the timing is perfect for me.
If we don't get a hybrid option, is the 1.6t or 2.0 diesel going to be the better option?
Depends what you want to do with it. Both good engines.
@@AutoExpertJC is one better power other better economy?
It would be used for a daily 35km commute, 10km @60/80kmh and 25km at 110kmh
Nice. Pity the durability of Korean cars is nowhere near boring Toyota....
with toyota building most cars in the Czechoslovakia its durability will soon be the same
I really dislike the push-button transmission... Repairs of the door panels would be difficult in case of damage.. 🤔
I dislike those pushbuttons, too.
