Good review...... I'm considering 'upsizing' my car again, and have now narrowed it down from initially four options to this new 2015 Hyundai Tucson Premium SE (range topper). Or the new 2015 CX5 Sport Nav (again the range topper). I have now test-driven both and the Mazda does somewhat feels better to drive and more connected to the road, but the Tucson has more kit included as standard, looks more stylish and it also drove well too - the 1.7 But I'd probably go for the 2.0 2wd for a little more power/grunt. So undecided lol.
nobody buys a compact crossover to cram three adults in the back seat. not sure why all these car reviewers assume people are driving around with all the seats full. Most people are alone in their car 90% of the time.
Very good review, although I would rather go for the Volkswagen Tiguan. Somehow the Koreans don't have the same quality engines and cabin quality as the Germans, emissions testing excluded. :p
+niceguy60 Why shouldn't the engine be reliable?The majority of diesels are but they like to be driven on the motorway.This engine at 75mph did just over 2000 refs which is good.
foppo leeuwerke I ve heard People are having Issues with this engines and Hyundai & Kia blames the owners having issues with the fuel injection systems

+The Shinigami If you want the premium one. It will be 35,000. But if you want the one without gadgets and thge standard interior and exterior. It will be 10,000 approx.
***** Chris Bangle is American, but that won't make his BMW design as Americans. Other manufacturers have done the same, sometimes they even use third party designers/consultants such as pininfarina to design their cars. The origin of the person who designed it doesn't matter. They still have to make a collective decision as a company to choose which design they'd go for. Toyota failed in that respect imo.
***** Then it means Hyundai have appointed the right person for the job, no matter what nationality the person is from. Something that Toyota & Honda should've done. In the end, I would still say that the Koreans make better looking cars than the Japanese.
this guy needs a gold or silver interior design my god it irritates me when people say "plastic" interior design most car has a hard plastic interior design whats the hush about it
LOL too right! I think people copy each other when they make car reviews and what is easier than to accuse a car of having plasticky plastics! Maybe we should go back to the days when the inside was metal - now that felt smooth! But with the road speeds and road conditions, I am afraid that metal would be out of the question in terms of safety.
Nice design, but still... it's not PREMIUM! A lot of plastic, typical for asian cars! Let's be honest, it's a low-to-medium brand, it's not an Audi, BMW or Mercedes. The engines for this cars are limited.
Nice Car from outside but Hyundai got one big problem and that is if you choose most equiped and stronger vehicle with 184hp it cost only 5-10% less than BMW X1 with 2.0 xd 190hp and similar serial equipment !! so Hyundai Tucson with the price of similar BMW X1 it is lottery because like used one for few years it will worth signiffically less then used BMW X1 !! and of course performance of Hyundai Tucson against BMW X1 is similar like performance&speed of Turtle against cheetah !! BMW X1 2.0xd 190hp are 7,6 sec 0-100km/h and 223 km/h while Hyundai Tucson is 2 sec slower and 20+km/h less with almost identical engine power and fuel consumption is about 1+liter higher for Hyundai., So conclusion is that Hyundai sold old tech car in new body
Ben Jennings on what he can look at?? on old engines and performance which are Lighty years behind X1 !! compare performance of X1 with 190hp turbodiesel and this Tucson with 184hp and let we see who is better!! infact compare X1 2.0 d 150hp against Tucson 184 hp and let we see who will be better in acceleration,max speed,consumption ...
I've not driven either car and have no bias towards any brand. I have owned a BMW and it was very nice. I expect the BMW feels quicker to drive. My point is that the x1 is not a good looking car by any stretch of the imagination. Is the x1 an equivalent car to the Tucson? I would have thought an x3 is similar in size and also another uninteresting BMW design.
+Mr11ESSE111 I currently have a Volvo xc60 and the Tucson is very similar in size. The x1 is referred to as a compact SUV and often compared with Q3 which is smaller than the xc60. x3 is same size as xc60. I'm not a Hyundai fanboy, just was looking at possible replacements for the Volvo.
You forgot the first rule of being employed by the Torygraph. You need to get at least one dig in regarding Jeremy Corbin. Please try harder next time.
Great video on the Tucson!! My dad had a manual 2018 1.6 GDI in brown, I actually have a video on it if you would like to see it? th-cam.com/video/wMa2QMeOqBE/w-d-xo.html
+venom5809 it's actually the closest to how the Koreans pronounce it: Huh-yoon-die. Hun-Day is the American way. Just like how you'd pronounce Jaguar as "Jeg-warr" over there.
fact: over a 5 year period the tesla is cheaper to own than a family sized ford/toyota. tesla has no oil/gas engine which means no maintenance. Tesla offers a 10 year warranty on the battery and motor. tesla has stated that the battery will last for 15 years before the battery capacity goes down to 75%. this is the main reason why ford/mercedes/toyota do not want elecgric cars as they have ZERO maintenance.
90 grand? you can get a used tesla starting from 60 grand. also you say that people can not afford that much money however people do stupid things like not save money, spend 50 grand on a wedding that will last 1 day. also note that Tesla is cheaper over a 5 year period.
+hyylo A electric golf cart is NOT a car. This car or any car will go farther than a golf cart and when you have to change the batteries on your golf cart at $5,000 to $9,000 usd, see how that works. When the USA government ends the "tax credit", the Tesla will end.
the way you talk, pronounce and your expressions are really good. it increases the reach of the words you say... keep it up mate! :-) cheers!!
Typically excellent review, thank you.
Glad you talked about "real world" economy instead of the utterly irrelevant manufacturer's figures. Nice review.
+Stuart Price That is so true.
+Stuart Price i get 26 -28 in eco....20 in sport....
My dad got about 30 mpg in his :)
I really like this car. Hyundai made a huge step forward
I like the exterior design but it's weird that the wheel arches aren't round and don't follow the circular shape of the wheels eg. 0:28
I drove one today 2016 I really like it
I like this reviewer. The only one I would consider as Matt's equal.
Hyundai has the best looking SUVs. Santa Fe and this really stand out.
Am I the only one that wanted to look at tucsons new taillight unfortunately the camera man missed it sigh
you aren't
+Alen Savic google images dudes....
Good review, just didn't feel the music match the car.
Boot space of ix35 was 590 lt, Tucson has 513 lt in 2wd and 488 in 4wd models.
front looks stunning

good review. Would have been better with Rebecca....
I'd like to see some hybrid cars reviewed like the Toyota Mirai for example.
yes! like Toyota Aqua/prius C
The Mirai is hydrogen powered lol.
This model was way too beautiful than today's Tucson.
is the 1.7 Diesel reliable ???
I mean there's any Ix35 or Kia Sportage owners which can confirm this 1.7 Diesel Engine reliability ???
yes, CRDi engines are the most reliable diesels sold in market.

I have a 1.7 diesel can get 40-45 mpg generally.
thats pretty bad, i can get more then that in my 2.2Tdci
my dad got 30 mpg in the 1.6 gdi :)

The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.

"Strong diesel engines-tick." No, fail and it's a horrible ugly wide monstrosity. Don't buy these awful SUVs.

Good car, shame about the shitty fuel economy figures.
"Hun-Day" like Sunday. How are you in the car review business and don't know this?
For whatever reason, the norm is to pronounce it like he does in the UK.
This is a UK review, therefore his pronunciation of Hyundai is correct!
+venom5809 Don't be at it. You guys say herb as "urb".
+venom5809 it's actually the closest to how the Koreans pronounce it: Huh-yoon-die. Hun-Day is the American way. Just like how you'd pronounce Jaguar as "Jeg-warr" over there.
