This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. This all-new Tucson Hybrid is longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model making it a very roomy alternative to buying a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Powering the Hyundai Tucson compact utility is a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 6 speed automatic paired with a 1.49 kWh battery pack and a 44.2 kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This Tucson Hybrid is AWD only. The base gas model has a
2.5L 4-cylinder engine with an 8 speed automatic transmission, 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Our test model is called the Ultimate Hybrid and it comes with a 10.25” touchscreen, driver’s seat memory, Bose stereo system. LED premium projector type headlights, 19” alloy wheels, pedestrian, cyclist turning detection, blind view and surround view monitor, remote parking assist. Standard safety features include forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane following assist, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, safe exit warning blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert and 6 airbags. The Tucson Hybrid is wider, longer and taller than the previous model. It is 15mm taller and wider than the outgoing model. Its overall length is 5.9 inches longer and the wheel base is 3.5 inches longer. The new Santa Fe is bigger. It is 2.6 inches taller, 1.4 inches wider, 6 inches longer and the wheel base is 10mm longer. The Tucson has a distinct and sharp looking exterior with angular body panels and a front radiator grille with dark chrome accents giving this SUV an aggressive look.

I have a lot of admiration for Hyundai and Kia because they have been competitive and have brought great value to the industry. I am not a fan of this design, but it looks like those who do will be getting a great vehicle. Well done, Hyundai!
Finally got my ultimate hybrid a week back in Mississauga. What a beautiful car, great value and super drive quality. Great review guys it was you that I decided to buy this. @motormouth you guys rock.
You two are doing great job. I can feel Great couple chemistry and ofcourse good reviews.
Thank you so much!
Can't thank you guys enough! I started looking for a hybrid in March of this year, and stumbled upon this video. I purchased the Tucson Hybrid, Limited on 5 April and love it! Better than I expected. Thanks for your great review!
I love how profesional, enthusiast and kind you are. Salut from rainy Paris.
Thank you so much! :) We have sunshine today!
Have you just about described Canadians in general? :D Certainly one of the best corners of this planet imo S2. Salutes from (very) rainy Britain.
Hi Guys, loved your reviews! First saw the Tucson Hybrid at Olympic village by False Creek. It was Monsoon Grey and it was stunning. Had to do a double take. So pretty. Then your review came out and after test driving it, can confirm how nice it is overall. Very impressed with the power and smoothness. We placed an order for the Ultimate trim. We currently own a Lexus RX and Honda CRV, so this will be our first foray into Hyundai. Keep up the great reviews!
This is a great option! I try not to get distracted by the infotainment and focus on the core vehicle. It sounds like this drives well and gets good mileage. Well done.
It sure does. The drive is wonderful for a hybrid.
Love all your videos! Bringing Andrea go almost all of them gave a very pleasant and dynamic presentation which I love. I trust and love your opinions. Thank you very much and please continue with the great content.
Thank you so much! :)
I’ve had the hybrid limited for a month now, and also own a 2020 BMW X3. The Tucson is just as quick 0-60, a much quieter cabin, a smoother ride, better designed interior, and, I must say, a better value. Yes, there are some minor things that could be changed, but are insignificant when looking at the whole package. There’s nothing even close in this category.
Fuel mileage?
@@matt89108 I am getting about 36 mpg overall.
@@stephenpolsky9901 Did the turbo break yet? Did the engine catch on fire? I hope your smooth riding Tucson goes the distance
@@sammyjammy6647 Not yet. But apparently it’s worth more now than when I bought it 4 months ago.
@Ray Could have used control knobs for volume and station changes, but there are controls for that on the steering wheel. Annoying rear beeping noise when backing up. Would like automatic side view mirrors. But, way too many features overcome the minor problems.
I love watching Andrea and Zack do couples car reviews. When Andrea says Zack has short legs and he’s like “I do not have short legs” and she just says again with a big smile “he has short legs”, it cracks me up and makes them feel so relatable, like they would be great dinner guests. Haha. Love them.
Good review. I enjoy your videos. I’d add shots of the rear storage area and folding down second seats for space. Lots of questions about this so I’ll go on their website. Thanks
I have owned two Tucson's and have just ordered this one that you are featuring here in this review. I know that not everyone is going to love this car, and that's ok with me. I love it, and when I took it for a drive, I was completely sold on how it drives. The fact that there isn't a knob for the volume is something that everyone should get over, and they will get used to. I am 71, and I can get used to it. This car drives like nothing I have driven in the past, and I love my 2019 Ultimate. Hyundai has outdone themselves with this new design, and when I got inside, I felt as though I was in a Genesis. The colour selections are top notch, and the power of this Hybrid is second to none. Keep up the good work.
What do you think of all the recalls and engine fires? I'm waiting a few years for some quality upgrades and honesty.
Hi Zack and Andrea. Wonderful and comprehensive review...thank you so much! As a transplanted Western Canadian now residing in the Toronto area I love seeing the beautiful scenery you show us! Just purchased the Tucson Ultimate in shimmering silver. Unfortunately I need to wait at least 2 months for delivery. Thanks again and please stay safe!
Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed the review. Congratulations on your new Tucson Ultimate, what a wonderful Hybrid. Enjoy!
Thanks for the excellent review you two and THANK YOU for answering my question on Instagram and in your coffee segment too! It was surreal to see my name while watching the video this morning 👍👍👍
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it. Thanks for participating, we love interacting and answering questions from our followers on IG. Thanks for the support!
I really enjoy all of your couple car reviews - they're very entertaining! 😁 Great job Zack & Andrea. If I may offer a suggestion... for the Tucson Hybrid and some of your other reviews I would have liked for you to comment on front seat comfort/adjustability, vehicle ride quality and overall handling ability. Would also have liked for you to comment on/describe the cargo area in the new Tucson.
Thanks, and keep up the great work with these terrific videos!
I really really like your videos. They are very informative and how to help people in choosing the right vehicle for themselves. You two are awesome in making videos, cheers!!!
Great review, as usual. Agreed on the volume knob; give us that, at least. I really appreciate that on our BMWs!
I just bought my Tucson Hybrid Blue trim in Texas and am in love with it! Mine has scroll buttons for volume and tuning, as well as buttons for temp control. It feels comfortable, quiet and roomy. The only thing I would add would be a dedicated space for a purse, leather seats as standard, as well as the lift gate.
You both seemed so honestly excited about the pros in this car, that it tilted my decision towards Hyundai. Thank you!
Oh yeah OK Street! I have been waiting for SOMEBODY to realize we need a place for our purses! Not in the market now but if I were it would be the Tuscon! So much luxury & safety for a decent price. So impressive!
How much did you pay in the US?
I love watching your reviews always so entertaining and so to the point great job
A search on Tucson brought me to your channel. I love your format, the back-and-forth dialog, and including USD/MPG. Yeah, I clicked Subscribe.
Great, welcome aboard!
An actual real world fuel economy test between all the hybrids you mentioned in this video as well as driving impression comparison would be a great video idea.
Great review!! I've only had my Tucson Hybrid SEL Convenience for almost two weeks, and my wife and I love it!! Mine has a volume/on wheel that you can use to power on/off and turn volume up and down.
Great review - can’t wait to see your review of the Tucson PHEV when it launches.
I just ordered the 2022 Tucson Hybrid Limited Fully Loaded. White with Soft Grey. SO EXCITED. I test drove 3 different Hyundai and 2 different Genesis models and I researched all of them for 2 months. I went back to my very first choice. The Tucson Hybrid.
We bought a 22 Tucson Limited Hybrid 3 weeks ago. We love it. Avg mileage is right at 35. Volume knob is not an issue with us. Still trying to learn the voice recognition commands. Redwood Valley, Ca
Very nice review, love how you compare each category to the competitors.
VERY Professional presentation....... and fun / enjoyable to watch!! Wife is not sold on the Hyundai brand but I like what I saw and heard. A lot. Still in the running for our next car, as far as I'm concerned. Just need to convince a significant other. Thanks! Cheers 🥂
Zack I've watched your TV show from day one and now I've been a subscriber since you and Andrea have been on CZcams . You guys are doing GREAT with great reviews! Keep up the excellent work!
Wow, thanks for all the support!
Thank you very much, we really appreciate your kind words. Means a lot!
Awesome review ! Love the Hyundai lineups these days
Highly recommend, this vehicle.
Just got my new ride!
And I’m enjoying it….
Thank you
We just put a down-payment on the hybrid ultimate last weekend, and we only did after test driving it with the intention of buying a lower trim level. The quiet ride was one of the biggest things, and the camera for your blind spots when signaling left or right. They said it will take 6-8 weeks (Alberta) so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 We didn't plan on buying but needed a new vehicle unexpectedly, and I was always a Toyota girl. I was really pleasantly surprised and my research has showed Hyundais are reliable.
Funny, Andrea's Mom just ordered a plug-in version last week and she has a RAV4. Should take a couple of months but worth the wait.
Scotty says "I need knobs, I got to have more knob's" We agree
First time watching your channel, and you two have a great presentation format figured out! Well done. Also, at least one benefit the Blue tier has over the Limited are physical volume and track rolling knobs. :)
Love your tag team reviews. You guys are great together! The Saturday morning release timing is perfect. I make a cup of tea, relax, and settle in - it is my way to start the weekend, every week. Thanks, guys!
Wow, thank you so much! Really glad to hear this, thanks for watching.
I second that!
@@bill7481 Thank you!
Love the b-roll of you speeding through the endowment lands lol
WATCH COLLECTOR ALERT. CAN WE JUST GET AN ENTIRE EPISODE TO YOUR WATCH COLLECTION NOW, PLEASE? LOVE THE SPEEDMASTER.
Andrea and Scott ! You guys are amazing ! I used your review as reference test drove Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Santa fe and Tucson Hybrid and I bought Tucson Hybrid AWD. I bought the middle trim though - SEL convenience. I miss leather seats but rest is so good. I am surprised how good Tucson Drives.
Thanks for sharing!
Best CZcams Car Reviewers! Your reviews are energetic and packed with info, I love them. Thanks for putting out such great content every week. You two are amazing!
Thank you so much, really glad you are enjoying the content.
Best car reviewers? LOL. Its always good to listen to many opinions but you should try Alex on Autos for a really knowledgeable reviews.
@@robertduklus6555 I have watched Alex on Autos and he's boring. I don't like his format at all, way too long. But, to each their own. These two are my favourite because they give a female/male perspective and they are very entertaining. I get all the info I need here.
Hmmm, i just bought a pre owned hyundai tucson 2022 hybrid luxury vehicle i love it! Its not a plug in hybrid and does have a volume control manual on top of the control panel option (i dont know how to explain it but i just spin it physically instead of pressing on computer) the sound is amazing. I love this vehicle. Mine also comes with no plug in necessay for apple or android devices. I have so much fun hearing my latest texts and reply option with audio. So much saved time with 2 devices at a time w/o plug in for both apple and android at the same time.
Another great review! I may have to fly to NYC and drag my brother-in-law to test the Santa Fe and Tucson. Hyundai, Mazda, and Acura really seem to be at the top of their games.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the review.
great review you guys .
Thank you Zack and Andrea. I just ordered this car, but have to wait till April for delivery.
I am getting one of these at the end of the year, but I have opted for a Manual transmission rather than an Automatic transmission. I live in the UK and have opted for the Ultimate. Love the reviews.
Thanks for using my question in your great review. This would have been a no brainer instead of my Rqv4 Hybrid. I was comparing the old Tuscan with the gas 1.6 turbo and regular transmission before buying but didn't like the fuel economy. Way to go Hyundai! Can't wait till you review the plug-in version. Thanks you two!
Thanks for watching and for participating in our segment. Much appreciated, really glad you enjoyed the review.
Hi Glen
should i go with tuscan in place of Rav 4 as it has a long wait time,please reply
@@HarshKumar-gg1qr I like my Rav4 Hybrid but I would have gone with the Tuscan Hybrid if available. Regular transmission vs my eCVT and better tech. Can't go wrong with either though. I'd take either over a pure electric too with the charger infrastructure in Ontario and our cold temps (bad for EV mileage). Good luck!
Great review, I was waiting for your unbiased opinion. I remember 10 years ago I was looking for a new vehicle and bought the Santa Fe 2012 v6 for just under 26k CAD.... Prices of cars are nuts these days, but I will have to take a drive up to my favourite Hyundai dealership and take a seat in this larger vehicle.
Thank you very much!
one of the best reviewers out there keep the good work guys
Wow, thanks
Thank you very much, we really appreciate your kind words.
Your reviews are quickly moving to the top of my list!
The new Tucson is stepping on the toes of the Santa Fe. Wheelbase is only 0.4” shorter, rear legroom is only 0.4” less, however cargo room behind the rear seats is 2.2 cu ft more than the Santa Fe!
Tucson is missing a few features from the Santa Fe including: heads-up display, driver 4-way power lumbar, driver power extendible thigh cushion, acoustic laminated front door glass, and wi-do hotspot (at least in the USA).
Looking forward to your Santa Fe hybrid review!
Thank you so much, so happy to hear you are enjoying our reviews and format. We can't wait for the Santa Fe Hybrid, the review will drop next Saturday. Keep an eye out for it. :)
"Once you have a power tailgate, you always want one and there's no going back." Same goes for HUD, cooled seats, and memory seats. Have had all those features on my last two cars and can't imagine ever owning a vehicle without any of those features again.
And ONCE you can "remotely pull your vehicle IN & OUT of a narrow garage without concern for getting out and hitting the doors PLUS having ZERO exhaust fumes in garage" there is no going back either! That is a feature i LEAST thought about when buying my Limited Hybrid Tucson and now value the MOST! Could never have a car without "Smart Park"! It is ABSOLUTELY the MOST underrated feature of this vehicle!! Great review y'all!!!! BTC
once again Hyundai has a winner on its hand...am really looking forward to your thoughts on the model coming of is based on this...the Santa Cruz..me thinks may be another winner,,always enjoy your reviews...great work folks
Thank you very much, so happy you are enjoying the reviews.
Great review again guys!
Thank you very much!
Great Video i am happy about my new car Tucson Hybrid
I love they way your review This car, Im from BC as well and driving around here. I think the Tucson fits well. currently driving Rav4 2020 but I might switch
great review, you guy's are awesome!
Wow I am the twentieth view here in Australia. Watching now. Love your unique views guys.Keep it coming.
Thank you so much!
Great review on this vehicle guys. You gained a subscriber.
I have a 2023 Canadian Ultimate on order. Shimmering Silver w Black Interior.
Our test drive was amazing. No volume button? No biggie as I never use 'em. Prefer the one on the wheel.
Speaking spare tire, great review this is going my next vehicle. And a few laughs here. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much!
@@andreaspencer9813 you are very welcome Andrea! 👍🏻👊🏻
These two Korean manufacturers are really creating some good impacts to the industry, in some areas may be even better than the Europeans!!
All good for the consumers!!
Great review....always love them!!!
Yes, completely agree. Hyundai / Kia and their lux brand, Genesis have leapfrogged so many competitors. Their EVs have completely leapfrogged the Japanese competitors, which is surprising. I predict they will leapfrog Tesla in the future, in say, 5~7 years..
@@alexandergoldman My neighbor who is a computer tech person or programmer or some such just got the Genesis 70 last fall. My, my what a car! It's amazing. His mom said the dash is something else & the luxury...wow. She works for GM & just got a Cadillac XT4 because she couldn't find the XT5. She said it can't compare to the Genesis 70 her son has, but then again it is a top dollar car & not everyone can afford one.
@@barbs1298 Your neighbor has great taste. Cadillac's are nice too and yes, they are expensive :)
Great review you two! 👏
I really like the overall design of this new Tucson. I hope Hyundai sticks with this design language for longer then 2 years. I also really like the interior as well, I just wish it had a volume knob and a power lift gate on as an option on some lower trim levels.
Thanks so much, so glad you liked the review. I hope they stick with the design language as well, it's a good one.
It has a volume knob on the lower trims (gotta roll it as opposed to turning it; it's lame). The power liftgate omission is lame (It's a Canadian thing, available in the US).
I have been watching a ton of videos as we are in the market for a new vehicle. We absolutely want a hybrid and we are very strongly leaning towards Santa Fe or Tucson. Your videos are very enjoyable!!
Good choice!
@@Motormouth... We ordered the 2023 Tucson in amazon grey and hopefully will have it by Xmas.
Great review! May I suggest better title integration/font for your thumbnail pictures. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the review.
When you think how often you use the hatch on a vehicle in reality a powered liftgate is not really required. It's like hood struts i've seen people replacing them constantly but never seen anyone replace the old fashion hood prong (whatever they call it) i had a power hatch on a Ford Edge had a flat battery and couldn't get in the hatch to get my booster cables LOL, climbed over the back seats and fumbled like an idiot trying to lift the floor shelf. Hyundai dealer lots where i live seem to be struggling getting vehicles their lots are pretty empty, like the Big 3 also. Awesome review Guys!!!!
The new Tucson is really good looking for a Hyundai…
Turbo charged Hyandai hybrid. I'd be concerned about reliability and resale value 👇
@@James-il3tq if it was a Toyota’s first turbo charged hybrid you wouldn’t not even question. Call it bias.
@@Ken-vl4wk yes & yes. What's your point?
@@donhill1825 biased
Couldn't say hyundai correctly
love your reviews. thank you!
Glad you like them!
@@Motormouth... your reviews are comfortable to watch plus nice combination of women's sensibility and men's technicality! great dynamics. I'm rooting for you guys!
Really enjoy the comparison at the end with other manufacturers!
Awesome, thank you!
@@andreaspencer9813 Especially since you both review AFTER talking about the current vehicle. This lets the review speak for itself and isn't immediately putting the vehicle behind another. Lets the viewers make their own decisions on the vehicles. Nice work!
@@kyle.cushway Absolutely, thank you, so well put.
Hyundai / Kia and Genesis have the best headlight game in the business imo. The overall styling is so distinctive and definitely stands out. Hoping to spring for a Tucson Hybrid in the future (or Ionic 5 / Kia EV6 or Genesis GV70 Electrified). Tough choice...
Be interesting to see the new Sportage and compare them. Good video. 👍
Yes, we can't wait to get the Sportage. Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review.
Another feature I like is the rear wiper, which is positioned above and not below. Hidden underneath the spoiler.
Hi guys and great job on the video! Just put a deposit on a Luxury Hybrid because of you! I was wondering if you knew if the smart cruise control can be disabled and act like a regular cruise, like other Hyundai models? The owners manual does not list the option. Thanks and great work again!
like your humor, and nice video.
The plug-in version should be great, considering how you both are raving about this version! I can't wait for your review on than one, but this one sure is taking my eyes of a RAV4 Hybrid! Thanks for another awesome review!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the review.
You folks are very good together terrific presentation with down to earth delivery of the car info and features. Unless I missed it, did you describe the hybrid mechanics ( batteries and how they are chraged, etc.). The other thing , when you present the 4 comparison hy rid SUVs, are tgey All with AWD? How is the preformance of the AWD on this tuscon? I'm really liking this vehicle. Now that I'm retired, no more commuting, makiing short local runs, my 2019 Acura MDX ( the new 2022 is really nice too.....), a higher MPG vehicle like this Tuscon is very tempting. My 2 cents, why is the plug in hybrids so fascinating to the millinium generation? You need charging stations to be installed at home and around various locations. At 69 yo, I'm still old school, but trying to learn. I presume this Hyundai enjoys the same 10 year warranty ?
Another big advantage this has over the RAV4 is that it has a real mechanical awd system! This new Tucson is a winner!
If it was only as reliable and dependable as a RAV4.
@@cdnbrit Time will tell I guess.
If I'm interested in the Tucson Hybrid. Should I wait for the plug-in version? My biggest concern is I could get the plug-in for a similar price due to the subvention program
I use the steering wheel volume control more than the infotainment system knob. It is not a deal breaker.
Great review (first video I've seen of yours) and I love the couples approach and conversational nature.
That being said, I need to see this car in person. The Santa Fe is extremely photogenic and the interior is beautiful. The Tucson isn't as handsome outside, and in pictures I hate the interior - the dash and infotainment. The gauges looks like someone set a tablet on a table, and the rest looks cheap. However, after you raved about it, perhaps it's much more appealing in person! Great work!
Fortunately, the base model is available here in the uk. It still comes with the digital display and instrument cluster but not extras such as heated & powered seats or the powered tailgate. However, combined with some great deals have put the Tucson within reach of a lot of people who might otherwise be driving around in some ordinary-boring hatch, including me! 😀Currently looking out on the drive at our UK spec SE Connect hybrid in beautiful phantom black. Fabulous car. Well played, Hyundai! 👏🏻
Thanks for your video, I am having a real dilema on purchasing a 2023 Tuscon Hybrid are they having a lot of the same issues?
Nice review. If I could add the turbo to my Niro Hybrid, I would.
honestly, i was going to get the rav4 hyrbid xse, however, here in vancouver, its been taking so long to arrive... i ordered in jan/feb and its may 2021 and i still dont have it.. made the switch in april 2021, to get the hyundai tucson ultimate. test drove it, and fell in love with it
hyundai grandeur 2022
I'm thinking in doing the same. My only concern would be reliability.
@@columbiars honestly it's 2021, reliability shouldn't be that big of a deal. Rmbr it's about how you take care of your car. I mean, I'm in it for the long run for my Tucson and not buying it for resale purposes. I'm going to treat this suv like a babyyy
Same! I considered the same car, didn’t order but the dealers haven’t had any. Their price is higher and it’s not as loaded/comfy! Just put a deposit on the Tucson, arrives in a month. Fingers crossed!
Do you have kids?Is it OK for a family?
I just ordered mine in white with light gray interior …can’t wait to get it!!!
I just ordered mine in white , how do you like yours?
@@td3666 I like it! just drive 704 miles to GA. had to fill up 2x on the way down ..not bad. still learning all the bells &
whistles tho! i’ve had it only since Dec 31st
Can’t believe you guys forgot to mention the keyfob…and easy parking feature.
Good review, getting one in the uk N Line S and they have a lot of model options. But i am now worried its only made for short legged people ?
This is Hyundai's year. They nailed this. I'm sure the rav4 are not too worried, but I think the bar is raised. Prime vs the future e tucson, that should b interesting. Hope all software bugs r out. CRV update, good luck this will b hard to beat. Zach and Andrea, great review. Only suggestion show us the back (of the vehicle that is) and capacity. Poutine& guacamole for u guys next Montreal trip-ill set it up. Cheers
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review. Yes, we usually show cargo space, not sure what we were thinking here. Poutine and guacamole sounds delicious!
You two are fun to watch. 👍 Yeah, needs a volume knob....but, does you phone or tablet or most any new screen based gadget have a volume knob? Don't think so. In a car the knobs are less distracting and easier to use, but then again you can keep your hands on the steering wheel and change the volume.
I do believe this new Tucson and the plugin version will make a significant decrease in RAV4 and CR-V sales.
i absolutely love the car just the rear turn signal lights are too low and hazardous in bumper to bumper traffic
Hi, i really like your videos and they are alot meaningful and up to the mark. Can you please make a video comparing rav4 hybrid xle comparing it with hyundai tucson. Can you please conclude which one makes more practical choice in the end. Thank you😊
I like everything except the capacitive touch buttons. Nothing beats physical buttons and a real volume knob.
Amazing. Stilly worrying, what if some of the 2021 recall issues crept into 2022? Can't decide yet :-(
One good thing about no knobs/buttons is that it’ll be easier to clean, and you’re going to have to do it a lot with all that piano black. just keep a microfiber towel in your car and you’re good to go
Heads up that now, Mid Aug 2021, there is about a 12 week wait to get one of these from most dealers here in Canada. Chip shortage has caused a major car shortage on most dealer lots. Bought the Ultimate today, now waiting up to 12 weeks to get it. The dealer had one demo they can’t sell. Good part was got more for our 2020 Elantra in trade as used car prices are way up.
I'm going to see "my guy" at VW tomorrow to buy the VW Tiguan. However this really caught my eye and got me thinking. The other thing that caught my eye...those hedges - those are some nice hedges. Anyways nice review as always.
We agree, top hedge!
This Tucson is amazing. This thing will beat the heck out of CRV and RAV saels this year
If the engines don’t burst into flames…will reserve judgement for a couple of years.
@@level7041 The CRV having engine and battery issues didn't slow it's sales at all
@@jstrig The CRV resale values have definitely dropped because of the issues you pointed out.A lot of people were not aware of oil dilution issue when they bought their vehicle and bought Honda’s line that it has been fixed …despite people still complaining about it.
@@level7041 Every brand goes through this so don't know why you're pointing it out.
@@level7041 I agree. Would definitely wait to see what happens with reliability, especially on a brand new vehicle.
Great review! How did you find the digital dashboard/speedometer without a cowl? Any issues with glare? Hyundai are nailing the Tucson, Santa Fe and Palisade at the moment.
No issue, easy to read
Great review, but I purchased a 2021 RAV4 XLE Hybrid, it’s quiet and Im getting an average of 45mpg. I traded in my 2018 RAV4 non Hybrid at 33mpg. I thought 2021 is not a CVT but a EVCT?
is the power tailgate on Tuscon both models? I'm used to black interiors, what do you think of the lighter interior, classic black or a lighter, which to me it looks a little more luxurious.
How much foot well space? It looks like less room for moving your legs around on longer trips where you need it.
My Mazda CX-5 2017 has a wide centre panel and compresses space in foot well too.
I am in the market for a new vehicle. With that being said, I wait until the 2nd or 3rd year for all the "kinks" to be ironed out. This Tucson sounds interesting. Although not a fan of turbos because of possible problems and the cost to fix them, I am impressed with the get-up and go of the car. Cargo space is exceptional. As far as the design, I have not seen a 2022 in person but Savageese does not like design whereas Redline loves it. Personal taste I imagine. I like the design. I will wait for 1-2 years for all problems to be ironed out
In the U.S the Tucson trims are :
SE- base model
SEL-mid trim
Limited- top trim
The SEL is the best selling model in the Tucson line up.
Yes, that is true for the gas model. We were talking more about the Hybrid in the US which has the base model Blue Trim, SEL Convenience and Limited. Thanks for watching!
you have volume adjustment on the steering wheel, you can do it man, try it. Up and down, push in for mute. Atta boy.
