Great SUV!

Stan W., 02/05/2022

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

I've only had my Tucson Ltd PHEV for 3 months and so far it's been much nicer than I could have imagined. I've had 2 RAV4s a 2007 and a 2017 Ltd Hybrid. This Tucson is much better than the RAV's in every way. The ride is more comfortable, smoother & quieter, the sound system is way better, has a great panoramic roof and the technology is far more advanced. On a 1000 mi round trip (Palm …

2-yr UPDATE - still loving our Tucson PHEV Limited

dschiazza, 08/27/2022

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

Update 3/8/24: We've hit the 2-year mark, and just under 20K miles. Continue to be very, very happy with it. The Tucson PHEV is a great way to put your toes in the water with EVs - being able to do full electric for up to 33 miles, while having the flexibility of an ICE for longer trips, is a great balance. We're adding solar at our home this spring, so we traded in our other car (2023 …

Stylish SUV with Excellent Mileage

J. Weber, 07/02/2022

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

We’ve had our 2022 Hyundai Tucson plug-In Limited for a little more than a year, and we love this vehicle. During the time we’ve had it, our Tucson has averaged nearly 80 miles per gallon. Most of our driving is around town, but we have taken two or three trips of several hundred miles each. I usually go a month or more before having to buy gas. With the high price of fuel, we have …

Impression after one month

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

This is a quick impression of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson plugin hybrid with Limited trim. This vehicle has lots of technology and many safety and convenience features which take some time to learn. I don’t recommend this vehicle to anyone who is not willing to spend the time learning these features to include studying the owner’s manual. Otherwise, I recommend that you consider a lower … (and less expensive) trim with fewer capabilities. The owner’s manual can be downloaded here: https://owners.hyundaiusa.com/content/dam/hyundai/us/myhyundai/manuals/glovebox-manual/2022/tucson-phev/2022-Tucson-Phev-Owners-Manual.pdf Styling The styling of the vehicle gets mixed reviews and is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I think it has an attractive appearance that is distinctive but doesn’t look like a Star Wars stormtrooper helmet (i.e. Toyota RAV4). But that’s just me. What’s important to me is that the interior is a pleasant, comfortable, functional, and attractive place to be. You can find interior and exterior pictures here: https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/tucson-plug-in-hybrid/gallery Controls The are many controls to accommodate the many safety and convenience technologies which could initially be overwhelming. There is a risk that a driver new to this car could easily be distracted when trying to find certain controls while driving. I recommend first learning the basics like lights, wipers, etc. that may need adjustments while driving, and practice the other controls while parked until you become very familiar with their operation. Since you paid for the Limited trim, take advantage of all the tech. Safety Tech The list of safety features is long: • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian (FCA-Ped), Cyclist and Junction-Turning Detection • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) • Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) • Driver Attention Warning (DAW) • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) • Lane Following Assist (LFA) • Highway Driving Assist (HDA) • Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go • Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with curve control • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) • Safe Exit Warning (SEW) • Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) • Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Reverse (PCA-R) • Parking Distance Warning – forward and reverse • Surround View Monitor (SVM) These features can be turned on or off in the settings menu. This vehicle is rated as Top Safety Pick Plus by the IIHS, and as of this writing the plugin hybrid is not yet rated by the NHTSA. Convenience Tech The list of convenience features is even longer. Here are some highlights: • Drive Mode Select (Eco, Sport, and Snow modes) • Downhill Brake Control (DBC) • Hands-free smart liftgate with auto open and adjustable height setting • Lumber support in driver’s seat • Heated and ventilated front seats • Heated rear seats • 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster • 10.25-inch Navigation/infotainment screen • Traffic flow including incident data via HD Radio™ • Dynamic Voice Recognition • Bose sound system • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay • HD Radio • SiriusXM Satellite Radio • Bluetooth phone connection • Bluelink® 3-year complimentary service • Heated steering wheel • Remote keyless entry system with alarm and panic • Proximity Key entry with push button start • Digital Key (use your smartphone to enter and start your car) • 64-color ambient interior lighting • Rain-sensing windshield wipers • Automatic on/off head and taillights • Remote self parking • Panoramic roof Full specs can be found here: https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/tucson-plug-in-hybrid/compare-specs Hybrid Operation Again, this is a plug-in hybrid. You plug in to a Level 2 charger for full battery charge in about 2 hours, or you can plug into regular AC for overnight charging. A full charge gets 33 miles of electric-only driving. After that it runs in hybrid mode (gas + regen) I’ve been averaging about 37 mpg in hybrid mode. There is a trip computer and other energy displays you can use to monitor battery usage and fuel use. Overall Impression My impression is biased because I’ve only had this car for about a month and I’m still experiencing new car euphoria. That being said, this is a really exciting and enjoyable ride. I discover new features all the time.
