2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid SUV Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Great PHEV
I've put about 3000 miles on it so far and am loving it. I owned a Chevy Volt for 10 years which I also loved but this is much better. I was hesitant to purchase because of only 31 miles rated battery only range but for my daily commute (all under 60 mph) and city driving I'm getting at least 40 miles of electric range easily making my 30 mile round trip to work each day with plenty to spare. Out on the freeway at 75 or 80mph it drops which is maybe how the range was estimated. It is fun to drive, comfortable seats, and nice and quiet all of which I love. The safety technology is great and one of the reasons I wanted to upgrade. Utility also seems great, it was easy to install a tow hitch for bike racks etc. The Hyundai driving assist technology is surprisingly good, adaptive cruise and lane keeping assist are pretty good and very usable as opposed to annoying like many I've previously tried, better than our 2023 honda for example. Additionally this car is compatible with the Open Pilot after market system which is a game changer and which I am now using. Things that could be improved: a little more internal storage in the doors and console would be nice but not a big deal. As others have mentioned I would prefer a knob for volume, temperature, and fan speed control, but you get used to the buttons pretty quickly and it isn't a big deal. You can also use voice commands to change these things rather than taping the button. Wireless carplay built in would also be nice but I'm using an aftermarket wireless carplay adapter which is working fine. All in all I am very happy with this purchase.

Wonderful beyond belief!
I have had Subaru Outback’s x3. Last one was an Outback XT with all of the goodies, including Napa leather seats. My wife and I thought we would be Subaru until “death do us part”. Circumstance, including high gas prices and the fact that our driving needs changed. We felt a PHEV was what we needed. We test drove a RAV 2024 Prime, a Subaru fully eV and the Volvo recharge phev. The RAV 4 prime was my choice until I drove it. More like a truck and I really felt it was not for me. Subaru outback doesn’t make a PHEV. FINALLY GOT TO DRIVE A 2024 Tucson plug in ev. Liked everything about it. Smooth, stylish, solid feel. With the larger 1.6 engine plenty of get up and go! Just bought it in the fully loaded Ultimate version. Love it! The world doesn’t know it yet, but this a dream vehicle and loaded with safety features.

No heat in EV mode!
I bought this, my 3rd Hyundai, as our main about-town vehicle to take advantage of the all-electric mode but still have the option for hybrid mode. But there's no heat, at least not n EV mode. It's been in the shop 34 days and I've only owned it for 59 days! Tech Line says that's "as-designed" but given the fact this never comes up in reviews makes me very suspicious. Even the dealership doesn't buy that. Why, in 2024, would someone WILLINGLY design a car w/o heat? I really like everything else about this car, but no heat in Oregon winters is a deal-breaker!
Sporty SUV with many options and great warranty!
We test drove and priced the Hyundai Tucson plug-in hybrid as well as the comparable Kia Sportage, Honda CRV and Toyota Rav-4. The Tucson had more built-in features, a more pleasant ride and the best price/value, with wonderful 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

Poor customer service
Multiple issues since we’ve owned the vehicle with poor service from our dealer and corporate.
