I love my Japanese cars, I also love the Hyundais I almost bought one several times but I was afraid of getting bored with it. I rented a '25 Tucson SEL in silver and loved it!!! I will be buying a '25 Limited in Blue.
Toyota will make you pay a premium for the features that Hyundai has with the Tuscon. Some of those features that Toyota dont even offer on the Rav4. My aunt owns a 2022 model Tuscon, and it has been a very reliable vehicle for her. And she gets 3 years of complimentary maintenance.
Wife and I tested the RAV4 then immediately tested the Tucson. (This was after driving the CX-50 and CX-5 the week before). She immediately stepped out of the Tucson and said “this is the best one yet!” TBF, the RAV4 they had to test was only an XLE where we tested the top trims on the others, but i think the Tucson had a more premium feel to the interior overall. And believe it or not, the screens were a HUGE selling point. The RAV4 screen is so freaking awkwardly stuck in the middle of the dash like some monolith. NO thoughts to design. The Mazda’s were really nice (and I prefer their exteriors) but the infotainment was clearly dated compared to even Mazda’s own more recent models like the CX-70. The 360 view was just kind of grainy and meh where the 360 view on the Tucson is hi-res and super nice. I may regret it later, but I’m letting the infotainment and the interior win on this one and we’re buying a Tucson. I’m also planning this to be a holdover until getting an EV makes more sense in my area.
I think the Tucson is the best interior by far. Hyundai engineering is excellent too, but I know it's a little bit of a gamble over Japanese brands. This is the one that I would choose as well, it just feels nicer.
My 2025 Tucson Preferred Trend is a remarkable vehicle, showcasing a refined naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine and seamless transmission. The advanced Htrac AWD system provides superior handling and control. The updated exterior (front grill and rear bumpers) expansive panoramic moonroof, The premium leather seats, increased cargo and legroom space create a luxurious atmosphere. The new digital cluster extension to infotainment, power lift gate and intuitive smart column shifter add to the overall sophistication of the car.
I purchased to 2025 Tucson Limited in Rockford Green instead of the hybrid model. We are getting 32.6 mpg in the city and 35.9 on the highway. I traded in my G70 because of the traveling we do and for comfort. Finger print is a good option when you have multiple drivers, better than the Genesis. Retirement is around the corner, so comfort going west was the major reason for the change.
Hyundai really believes their automobiles will last a long time, my sister bought a new Hyundai Santa Fay and got the Poswer train warranty to 8 years & 150,000 miles bumper to bumper to 7 years 100,000. I Have Never Ever Herd Of That...! ! ! 😮

I don't think the screens are a fad when Tesla has them. They were the ones who started the screen look on vehicles. Tesla is a very popular car brand. It's just an age demographics thing. My generation is getting older, and new technology can be intimidating to some. Gen Z and Alphas are the tech social media generation. Technology is evolving every day. We either grow to love it or moan about it.
The base 2.5NA engine in the current Tucsons is a complete dog turd with zero power. The only Tucsons worth getting are the HEV and PHEV models... both are lightyears ahead of the 2.5NA in power and handling.
I agree. I loved their previous design, was saving to buy one but seen they changed their design and thought it was hideous. I'm now buying a new Traverse RS
You REALLY MESSED UP THAT REFRESH THE FIRST TIMEIN MY LIFE TIME SINCE YOU TUBE STARTED! Sorry about the caps 😮 the interior dashboard was a full redo. 😅
Nope here is why Why Why is there no way to turn off the “consider taking a break “ Notification? I have a 2025 Tucson and I’m considering returning it for a car that doesn’t beep at me because it’s windy or there’s too much construction with uneven lanes. Do not buy Hyundai until they allow you to turn off all these nagging and distracting erroneous notifications. Thank you, Hyundai for ruining my new car experience.
Correction, Hyundai redesigns their vehicles every 3 years, not 2. Toyota redesigns their vehicles roughly every 20 years. Whether or not you redesign the look of the car the physical condition of the car affects about 95% of the resale value over when the last redesign was. That's a non-factor in resale. Also, if you're buying a car with reselling it as your primary concern, you're probably buying the car for the wrong reason.
Not in person... I have a 2023 Tucson, it's not reflective at all and is easy to see even in direct sunlight... its probably just a camera issue, in person it's not a problem at all.
I highly doubt Toyota is very worried lol. Yes, Hyundai kill their interior design compared to Toyota, it's not even close, but once you get past all the shiny objects inside, their engines seem to self destruct at 60k, so I'll keep my Toyota all day long ;)
Anybody that Praises a Hyundai or Kia. I'm really not going to take what they have to say about cars and trucks very seriously. Hyundai and Kia are very cheaply made and are junk
Hyundai & Kia have been improving their reliability over the past decade, I’m sure eventually they’ll reach Toyota’s level (especially with their recalls and lying about passing safety regulations). I have a 2022 Tucson with 42k miles, zero issues :)
@@m6780It’ll hold, you just have to be smart about buying a car lol (got my Tucson 22 in 2022 will be paid off next year in June) plus Hyundai isn’t bad anymore, Kia as well!
Not compared to all its competitors frankly. You obviously haven't kept up with current car prices. The Tucson competes with the Honda CRV and Toyota Rav4. This is a top-trim Tucson (they can be had for less)... look at the top trim prices of the CRV and Rav4 and tell me which ones are too expensive again.
I'm sorry you're poor... Toyota and Honda charges MORE for their top trims... you can get a Tucson much closer to 35K for a lesser trim. You are obviously out of touch with the current market 😢
For the love of God, spend 10 bucks and throw some gas in the car. I don’t even want to even begin to imagine the damage you’ve done to the fuel pump in this car by flooring it in Sport Mode with 6 miles of range. Anyone buying a car from this dealership should make sure they don’t get this one. It’s irresponsible to be flooring a car with 6 miles of range remaining.
Toyota is seriously worried. Why? Do you know about the RAV4, Tucson, and Sportage sales from last month?? RAV4 sold 35,100 units. Tucson sold 20,800 units and Sportage sold 15,100 units. They use the same powertrain. It is 35,900 units. It means that the Tucson powertrain sold more than the RAV4. So, Toyota fan boys are so~~~~ scared. like you. Why? Because the price of the used RAV4 will drop significantly...So that's why you replied so quickly, isn't it?
