The car does not accelerate when you press on the gas. There is a tremendous lag time, which has resulted in serious safety concerns for me and my family. I'm told it's due to it's "dual clutch" (which recently had a recall...the fix did nothing). Regardless of the reason, it's not safe and I do not want it. Hoping to trade it in tomorrow.

I had a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with only 24,000 miles on it. I took my mother shopping for a new crossover SUV that had to have AWD. We looked at Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forrester and Outback, Ford Escape, and Chevrolet Equinox. For the price, design, comfort and technology features the Hyundai Tucson beat them all. I drove the vehicle and was so impressed with it that I traded in my Santa Fe for the Tucson Sport trim level. My mother bought the ECO trim level. The only issue I have had is that the exterior lights that are to light the front door handle areas when approaching the vehicle with the key fob on me do not work. Hyundai realized the issue and corrected it. The 1.6T turbo engine has plenty of power. Sport mode gets the vehicle on the highway fast and passing other vehicles is quick. I drive mostly in ECO mode and get about 24mpg city and 32mpg highway. One note as it pertains to interior/exterior colors: We both wanted the beige interior, yet it only comes in 4 of the exterior colors. My mother wanted the Caribbean blue exterior, yet the interior only came in a black interior. We both bought Tucsons with the Ruby Wine exterior. I wanted leather interior, yet it only comes in the Tucson's Limited trim level. For what the price is for the Limited trim level, it is almost priced like a similar trim level on a Santa Fe (I.E. The Tucson Limited is overpriced.) UPDATE: I've had the vehicle over a year and still like it. I wish that the Radio/Phone/Entertainment screen was the same as the Santa Fe. There are features on the Santa Fe screen, such as when the radio is on it shows the artist and song, and on the Tucson that information is not displayed and is not available. One would think that the two screens would use the same software.

Make no mistake this car is dangerous and Hyundai is being extremely silent about it my brand new 2016 less than 45 days old has been in the shop more than I've driven it I am on my third rental car from them and now Hyundai's inspectors have come out looked at the car and are holding it hostage as they can't decide what to do with this car please please go read and look at the videos on Hyundai turbo issues the dual-clutch transmission is a nightmare and an accident waiting to happen someone is going to get killed in this car

just disappointed overall, the transmission issues over and over, I don't feel safe pulling out into traffic and getting close to rear ending someone when the car lungs forward, overall I just am disappointed, this is my 4th Hyundai the other 3 no issues, we have a 2005 Tuscon V6 great car never in shop, had an Elantra and Accent as well, good solid vehicles, but no this time. So today 12/9/2016 it is back in shop and going thru thorough testing they will have it for a week or more? Trhe rental they gave me is a Jeep Compass, it a horrible car, i'll never buy Jeep. Good luck everyone with their cars and recalls, be safe.

We had looked at the Tucson three years ago and were not at all impressed. This year we looked at the 2016 Tucson Limited and test drove it before we leased it. We were impressed with the changes. The interior quality was excellent with everything having a tight fit and the the driver and passenger electric seats are great. Very good visibility over the dash and hood. We love the push button start and auto tail gate opening as you approach the rear of the car. The BlueLink is easy to use and my wife loves it. The back up camera assist is huge.The radio sound system on the Limited is fabulous. And on this SUV the road noise and wind noise has been reduced significantly. The Navigation system is easy to use and we like the built in compass that shows in the rear view mirror and on the navigation system. The Limited has a very large navigation screen plus extra safety features I won't get into. We love this car. The only down sides so far was that we paid a little more then we wanted to to get the bells and whistles we wanted plus the leather seats. But the apparent quality of the material, options we got and warranty sold us. One thing to note. We did not experience some of the more serious issues other reviewers noted regarding the Turbo Charger. We did note a slight hesitation in starting off after a "stop". The Dealer notified us a week later of a software fix which we had done which gave a slight improvement but the hesitation is there and is more annoying then a safety issue. It is something that needs to be fixed in future models. The engine in very very quiet as well as the transmission. When the car is in idle you can't even tell it is running. After looking at the material quality, road noise etc of Ford and Chevy this car has them beat. Now time will tell. If you want all the bells and whistles go with the Limited. We passed on the sun roof. We are in the second year of the lease and we have not had to take the car in for any problem or issue needing fixing.
