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!

Worst Transmission EVER!!

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!
