2017 Hyundai Tucson Eco 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

After 4 months front Xenon lamps started not to work and when I approached the Service they told me that the lamps are not covered by the warranty and I need to pay for each lamp approximately $60. It's ridiculous. After 6 months the car started to shiver when you start to drive and when you start to slow down the speed to stop.

This is my mom's car I borrowed it a couple of times for a road trip. I was pretty skeptical about Hyundai(I remember the old low quality cars) but pleasantly surpised by the Tuscon. The pros: good acceleration, shifting in manual mode is slick, the cloth seats are comfortable(rear seat recline!), Handles pretty well, the radio is nice and pairing phones are easy. The Cons: Gearbox is finicky at low speeds(like a tractor trailer), Mazda cx5 has better interior desing/quality, keyless start(thats just my personal gripe)

Hyundai has been outdoing themselves for the better part of the last decade; transforming from a crappy budget car company to making reliable and stylish automobiles. Presently, 2017/2018 Tucson is no exception. The exterior styling arguably the best in the small crossover segment and interior and safety standard features that Honda, Toyota, and Nissan could not touch with a 10-foot pole. In fact, we’ve purchased two Tucson in the last 16 months. Both Limited with Ultimate package and both for our parents. Our Tucson's have heated and COOLED (ventilated) front leather seats, heated back seats, navigation system with Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto, a backup camera, lane departure system, blind-spot monitors, auto-braking with pedestrian detection, and HID headlights that turn with the steering wheel for better nighttime illumination. We cross shopped Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue and none of them could come close to the features/price ratio that the Tucson offers. On top of all that, the 10-year/100,000-mile warranty is standard. We are especially happy with the amount of illumination those HID headlights provide during night time driving; as our parents are getting old and they’ve told us that they feel much more confident driving after sunset. Other neat little features such as keyless entry, push-button start, a power liftgate, beautiful looking wheels, panoramic moonroof, better-than-most AWD system, and Hyundai’s proven reliability are icing on the cake. For just under $30k, the Hyundai Tucson Limited is going to be your best bet for the money. Update 7/9/2020: 3 years in still pretty good little SUV. Transmission continues to be a quirky thing on both Tucson Limited. Hyundai pushed out another software update to the dealers via recall but our VINs have not been selected for update. The A/C on the first of the two Tucson went out at 33,000 miles so we are now waiting for parts to come in to repair. Both vehicles get great gas mileage and looking back, Hyundai putting Apple Carplay in a 2017 vehicle was very forward-thinking. Our 2018 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport doesn't even have Apple CarPlay and it's a paint in the butt. Overall, no complaints!

I have the 1.6 Turbo Limited AWD (Ultimate Package) Let me say this I have owned the Tucson for a week now and I do notice a very slight lag when first accelerating again let me say VERY SLIGHT ...I do not see this 2 or 3 second lag that I see quite a few people writing about. And when you put it sport mode if there is a 1/4 of a second lag that's a long time. My guess is most of the people that complain about the lag issue drive aggressively but that is just my opinion. I believe there was a software update for the transmission so that may have taken care of the lag issue but am not sure I will find out when I bring it to dealer for the first service. The gas mileage could be a little better but with the turbo I guess that's an acceptable compromise. The ride is quiet smooth and comfortable. I am not a little guy but am also not a big guy and so far I have been very comfortable in both the drivers and passenger seats. I purchased the Tucson for my wife who LOVES it so far. There are only 3 cons to write about. #1 no C.D player #2 no heated steering wheel and #3 no memory seats. Those are all the cons the Tucson has. That's it. But at this price point it should have all three. This is the 2nd Hyundai we have owned we traded in a 2013 Santa Fe fwd to purchase the Tucson my wife wanted something a little smaller and so far so perfect. I am in Dutchess County N.Y and I want to see how it handles in the snow. We were able to purchase it as a used car believe it or not with 199 miles , it's a left over is all it really is. If i do start to have any of the lag issues in the future I will update my review but for now I stand by this one !!!
2017 Tucson SE AWD

This car doesn't have all the frills of the "Value" or "Limited" models, but I wasn't looking for a flagship vehicle. The ride and handling is really good. The seats are decently comfortable. The sound system is fairly good. The amenities that you get on it for a base model are nice. Even got power driver's seat. Had the car for about 1.5 months now. MPG has been about 25-26 in mixed city driving. That's better than my last vehicle, a 2010 Kia Soul. Plus, I'm living in a more hilly part of the USA now, so it seems to have better fuel economy going up and down the hills here. Plus, the 2017 model I got new has a CD player in it. The 2018 models didn't have one. Being that I have music on hundreds of CDs, this makes it nice for me if I don't have a USB stick handy to drop some tunes on. If you're not looking for lots of flash and something that will turn heads and impress friends, but want something that looks nice, drives well, and is a good value...I could definitely suggest taking a look at this vehicle.

Took it for a test drive along with its sister the Kia Sportage. I think Hyundai screwed it up when they went to the 7 speed tranny. Hopefully Kia won't do it to its next year model

DCL Tranny VERY DANGEROUS 9-2019

The Dual Clutch Tranny and the 1.6L engine combo are DISCONTINUED after less than 36 months!, due to drivability and safety issues they could NOT solve! Daughter has a 2016 Tucson Ultra Limited 1.6Turbo DCL, and I have a 2017, same model. BOTH, drive the same, and in the last 1.5yrs, we have both almost been taken out by other drivers, when our cars transmissions go into the "I don't know what to do mode", and basically do not engage, while traffic is bearing down on you!!!! It lurches, slips, and gets confused easily, so you learn to take caution, DON'T try to merge in traffic from a stop, always anticipate the tranny may not engage at ANY time, and be very light on the gas, always, and very smooth, or risk the DCL tranny getting confused, and your car just sitting there, even if its in the middle of a busy injection with a truck coming. Dealerships told us they were getting rid of the DCL tranny because of all of the horror stories. Luckily, mines leased..... so can just give it back at the end, if I live that long.... serious., and don't put many miles on it. Otherwise, everything else is awesome..... just the DCL dangerous tranny! And all of the software fixes have been no-help! It has been discontinued for a safety reason! They should all be recalled voluntarily, or major class action lawsuit from all of the injured people. Again, otherwise, the Hyundai, and New Tucson line are wonderful. Avoid 2016-2018 1.6L DCL Combo! Drive one at Carmax, push gas pedal in a variety of changing levels, on off on again from a stop, like you were going to go, then have to wait, then go again,,, see what happens. Do not try that in traffic!

We really love the look and the drive of this car but the transmission slips, jerks and doesn't shift properly at all. It never has and it has been to Hyundai for the issue but nothing was resolved. It becomes unsafe at times when attempting to pull out into traffic. Scary.

A comfortable & practical little SUV

I found myself in need of replacing my last car earlier this year in 2018, and after much hemming and hawing over what to buy, I wound up with a brand new 2017 Tucson SE Plus. I was able to get a fair price on a car that had exactly the options that I wanted, with nothing that I didn't. And, in a color that I liked, and that my wife encouraged; seemed like a win. It has been. I wanted a smaller SUV for economy, but large enough to be pretty practical. I wanted the technology in the car to be very good - not just 'good enough' and this car has delivered for me. The car has Six speed automatic vs only four or five gears. It also has three modes for the transmission, Normal, Sport or Eco; I've not gotten used to having this. Bluetooth works pretty much flawlessly, which is very important in a state with strict laws regarding cell phone usage while driving. I can get my SiriusXM radio and it works well and is intuitive. Daytime running lamps and automatic headlights, which are a must for me, are there. That the backup camera is much better than what's in my wife's Acura is very satisfying too. I even just recently discovered that if you unlock the car with the remote, and don't open a door within a minute or two, the car will lock itself back up so that you don't forget. Handy. One of the most impressive things, I think, it the quality of the ride and the quiet in the cabin. The standard 17 inch wheels and tires are a huge plus, and one of the reasons why I didn’t want to upgrade to the Sport trim with the more powerful motor. And while I don't want to use the warranty, I feel like a company that feels confident enough to offer a 100,000 mile power-train warranty at no additional cost has something to prove to folks who are non-believers. So far, so good. The biggest issue that I have is that it seems to be under-powered at times. Yeah, it's a little 2.0L four cylinder, so I knew that this could be an issue. I could've stepped up to the 1.6L Turbo motor with the 7 speed dual clutch, but after doing quite a bit of research and reading about the experiences of other people, I decided that the base motor would be a better choice. Overall it has been a better choice, in my opinion. The economy has been better than I expected for how I use the car and how I drive. It doesn't feel under-powered at all times, just sometimes when I am in a hurry to get moving. Sport mode in the transmission seems to help! Overall, this has been a comfortable ride, that is very practical, pretty economical for what it is, and so far, dead-nuts reliable. All for a very reasonable price. I feel like I made a good choice here. If you test drive a Tuscon, and you like it, then you'll probably like it too. Updates: My lease is almost up, and with less than 24,000 miles on it, I've really enjoyed this Tucson, overall. So much so, that I think that I'll probably just buy it at the end of the term because I have put so few miles on it, and it really has been trouble-free. I've averaged 26.4 MPG over the entire time that I've owned the car. It really is all the SUV you could need if you don't have four people to haul around all of the time - I don't and so, it's been very good for me and my smaller family!
