First off, this is a STRIPPER model. No frills, base model with very few options. BUT.... what all do you need? Power windows and locks? check. Cruise? check. AC? check. Audio system? check. What else do you really need? I'm 50 and can remember when all the above was OPTIONAL stuff. Coming from different vehicles, I can say this vehicle works. It isn't super fast. It's a Crossover. Do I really need to sub 6 second 0 - 60 times? No. The audio is simple to use. It even has a TUNING knob. Does it have nav? Nope. but that's a hassle anymore if you have a smart phone. Google Maps is always updated. The Tucson is showing 27 mpg after the first week. Pretty good I think. Not the best, not the worst. And we live in hilly area at base of mountains, so 27 is pretty good in mixed driving. I do miss the power seats of my previous vehicles. Especially as my wife & I change drivers. The seat is not the most comfortable, but hoping as it wears in, will be less aggravation. It's good looking, practical transportation. No more, no less.

I've had this car for over a month. Base model. The car serves its purpose and has certainly enhanced the quality of our life by allowing us to travel safely, in comfort, and the Tucson affords us a decent amount of storage. The warranty also gives us peace of mind. The user interface on the infotainment system is ugly and feels clunky but works just fine. Blue tooth works well with smart phones and I've had no issues listening to podcasts or making phone calls. Interior feels very airy and I've never felt claustrophobic with my 5'11 frame. However, materials feel cheap. The outside appearance of this car is stunning. Much better than the RAV-4 and the CR-V. Silver is a nice color on this car and does not make dust and grime visible as does black or white paint. The only downside is the car has poor acceleration. This can present challenges on the freeway if you are trying to pass someone or merge quickly from an on ramp. Once it does reach desired speeds it's like every other car. It does not shake nor does it allow for external noise to enter. Hence, even long distance drives are quiet and comfortable. It is overall a joy to actually drive. Very response steering. Overall, we are glad with this purchase and so are many others. This model did make the JD Power and Associates list for initial consumer satisfaction and has been well-reviewed by the pros.

Great value, comfortable SUV with lots for the money. Great quiet, solid and controlled ride. Wonderful fuel economy (26.9 city so far). Very well build quality. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'll see how the long trip mileage is this coming 4th of July weekend

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!

TERRIFIC TUSCON

I test drove several more expensive vehicles , including the Jeep Cherokee Latitude and the Tuscon was hands down a more superior ride. The acceleration alone on the highway was my deciding factor. The "sport" button which increases the RPM's or lowers a gear is a great assist in gaining speed. In fact, I leave it in "Sport" mode around town just for the fun factor. The 60,000 mile warranty compared to the competitions 36,000 mile warranty was another deciding factor. The sport rims and the panoramic sunroof are nice features. This is my first Hyundai and I think I'm now a big fan and will buy more Hyundai's in the future.
