Easy to get in and out of, especially for older folks. Wonderful seating 4 people plenty of leg room, rear seat backs recline for rear comfort too. Controls handy, simple, and user friendly, handling is great, easy parking with backup camera. The 2.0 liter engine provides good zip in city driving, Not recommended for speed demons who pass frequently on 2 lane roads. A little underpowered at high speeds, but that helps mileage. The 6 speed tranny works great, has a sport mode that helps a bit for acceleration. Rear cargo mat is handsomely carpeted on one side, flip it over and it becomes a rubber pan so no spills. We live in Minnesota so we need the AWD version. The warranty is the best in the industry! 5 years 60k bumper to bumper and 10 years 100k drivetrain warranty. Styling, value, ride, room and warranty sold us on the Tucson, not too big but not to small. We kept our last Hyundai 10 years on 178,000 miles. never used the warranty but started to have some AC and brake issues at 175,000 so we traded in on anew one.

I'm a researching kind of person before making any large purchase decisions. I believe in quality and value. To top it off I work for Honda at a manufacturing plant! I compared this Tucson to the HR-V and CRV. First my wife had to have leather! I had to have reliability. To get leather in the HRV you have to pick the Top of the line EXL with Navi. The one I liked was was over $26,000 as test driven. The Tucson, a bigger vehicle and actually more comfort options I only paid $24000 after incentives. Honda had none and even as an employee I had no incentive. The ride of the Tucson was better, the interior and exterior design was superior. The ride of the Tucson was much better too. I'm a 225 lb. man and getting out of the Tucson was much more comfortable. The interior noise was less in the Tucson and the audio sound with the Infinity Sound in the Tucson way outdid the HRV. So I know that Honda has a better resale over time but I keep my vehicles until they are ready to be scrapped. Top it off I get a 100,000 mile 10yr powertrain warranty, three years app remote start and 5yr bumper to bumper the value of the Tucson is superior with my situation. By the way my research also showed the 2018 Tucson he the best initial quality award from JD Powers. This beat the Honda hands down! Remember, I work for Honda too!

My 1st Tucson was a 2008. I basically only had to do basic upkeep to this vehicle which came off a rental lease with 24000 miles on it(1 year old). I never buy new so my 2nd Tucson was a 2018 off a company lease with 8000 miles on it. I'm very happy with the Tucson line and never had any problems with them. Glad this Tucson has a timing chain and not a belt, That was a $500.00 upkeep every 60000 miles. I'm very happy with the Hyundai Tucson. We now have 36000 miles on it as of 9/19/21 with no issues... As of 3/20/22 we have 38450 miles and other than front brakes and tires, No issues.. As of 3/20/24 we have 43076 miles with no issues and went to the dealer for 2 recalls that were taken care of. As of 3/26/25 we have 52196 miles, Needed a l/f daytime running light(water got into it) and brakes and normal maintainance! Still good!

Got stuck with a lemon

I really got stuck with a lemon and I can't wait to get rid of it. There are things I love about the car. It is big and roomy. The electronics are awesome. I love Apple car play and the navigation system as well as the Infinity stereo system. The leather seats are incredibly comfortable and you can make all sorts of adjustments to get the seat just right. Love the extra room in the back. The problem is that something is terribly wrong with this car. Whenever I come to a sudden stop the car lurches forward as soon as I go again. Sometimes it jerks and lurches when I just am sitting at a stop sign. Sometimes it won't go when I press the gas...it will eventually "go" but only after a big jerk and lurch. It feels like I am driving a car with a manual transmission. This car is brand new and I am scared to death I am going to have an accident in this crazy thing.

2018 Hyundai Sport, finally a quiet ride.

2018 Hyundai Tucson Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

Buy the 2.4L, 4 cylinder. The 1.6L turbo may provide more horsepower, but there is a hesitation in the acceleration that is not present in the 2.4L. Previously owned a Mazda CX5 Touring FWD and a Honda CRV-EX FWD, while both provided a little more cargo room, the road noise was unbearable and the Honda CVT vibration, when stopped was more than annoying. The Tucson is much quieter, hence, more pleasant to drive. The Hyundai Tucson Sport was not ranked in the top 3 Compact SUVs by most reviews but in my opinion, it is underrated. Entry and Exit of the Tucson is easy, headroom and legroom is abundant. The cargo area with back seats in the upright position is sufficient for everyday use. Apple Car Play is standard and removes the need of Navigation purchase. The only thing we wish it had was either a power passenger seat or at least a passenger seat height adjuster.

Picked up a new 2018 Limited AWD completely loaded. Only thing missing, winter package and roof rails. Window was 34, 800 dealers no haggle price, 28,999 including the $3000 in rebates. I traded in my 2013 Limited FWD with under 6000 miles on it. Dealer offered me a fair price, but I could have probably gotten another 500 if I felt like haggling. Since time is money, and they gave me a great deal on the 18, I did the deal. Mine is Molton Silver with Black Leather. Looks really sharp. The features in this car are mind blowing. So much technology and it all works great. The ride quality is very impressive, specially on the highway. The handling is much better than I expected as well. It corners like a nice sports car. There is a tad of lag in the turbo, but not enough to worry me. She gets up to speed pretty nicely. The Infinity Stereo is absolutely insanely incredible. The ventilated front seats are amazing. The panoramic soon roof is spectacular. The fit and finish are way above good, bordering on excellent. The mileage is not living up to what they state, but the car is hardly broken in. Love the warranty too. These are built in South Korea with 95% South Korean parts. Good stuff. I love it, and for the money, I can't think of another car that I like as much. This was my 5th Hyundai and the 4thI've purchased from this dealer. I love how easy they make buying a new car. The little 1.6 liter Turbo makes 175 horses which is plenty. It's not nearly as fast as our 13 SantaFe Sport 2.0T, which makes 250 horses. I wish Hyundai would stop using these Hankook Kynergy as the OEM tire. Other than that, I'm thrilled with this car,so far. We'll see what happens when winter arrives.

Unfortunately you must step up to the limited trim level to get a greatbTucson with all the safety and comfort features and to get the best MPG. Once qt this level, the Tucson is a strong competitor. 2018 is the last year for the 1.6T great mileage engine, 2019 uses the base Sonata 2.4 gas hog engine on all trim levels. I feel this will be the downfall for the Tucson; Honda applauds this poor decision as their CR-V will get 10 MPG better than the 2019 Tucson. Rush out and get your 2018 Tucson Limited while they are still on dealer lots.

My 6'9 boyfriend and I (6') needed a comfortable vehicle to take road trips as well as a good commuting vehicle for me on a daily basis. We have plenty of room to travel in comfort and enjoy the electric and heated seats. Having grown up in a family from an American car company, I felt compelled to try out the competing SUV's. The comfort just was not there. We also have room to include my 6'4 son and his friend if needed in the passenger backseats. I am getting about 28 miles/gallon in my city commute to work everyday. It's my first SUV and the only one that I've ever been able to afford!!

We are so glad we purchased the 2018 Tucson AWD limited (ultimate) with the 1.6 Turbo. Hyundai discontinued the turbo for 2019 and we feel this is going backwards. The SUV is very quick and averages 29 MPG. The Turbo version will hold it's value now that they have been discontinued and we are proud to own one. Overall, we would purchase the vehicle again with no hesitation. We heard the 7 speed transmission was troublesome in 2016 but they must have redesigned because we have not had any issues with hesitation or shifting. More USB ports would be nice.

Great comfortable ergo design in the front seats, great technology, great gas mileage, lots of power behind the wheel. A great looking sporty SUV!!

Bought the the limited with all the options. 1.6 turbo was a disappointment. Had a 2013 Sonata with 2l turbo. Loved that car and could get 34 mpg on the highway. Tucson did 23 mpg, (well below the rated highway mileage) in a trip from Minneapolis to Phoenix. Acceleration is okay, but 2 L turbo should be available. Heard that Hyundai won't even offer the 1.6 turbo anymore. Underpowered engines do not improve fuel economy.

This is a very nice automobile, spacious comfortable and powerful enough for the daily commute. The car is packed with technology and comfort features such as heated seats and touch screen technology. I love Hyundai products. This is our third purchase currently totaling two Tuscans and an Elantra as family cars. Hyundai is very committed to fulfilling the promises of their warranty which will make me a customer of theirs for life.

Purchased the Tucson in December for my wife replacing a 2014 Honda CRV EX which we almost purchased again but found out about the Dream engine water in oil issue. That's when we decided to look at Hyundai. Our Tucson is right sized and loaded which gives us many more options than the Honda had and we paid almost the same 5 years later. The value can't be beat. It drives/rides very well in all types of weather including snow. I do agree the transmission is a bit slow on the upshift but if you use the "Sport" feature there is no issue with acceleration at all. I highly recommend the Tucson based on our first 2 months of ownership (no issues). My dealer experience was below average but that may differ for you. I suggest you find a dealer you like first then negotiate.

We bought the car with 45,000 miles 2 years ago. Last weekend we were driving on the highway and heard a noise that sounded like a fan blade rotating that seemed to get louder with acceleration. No indicator lights came on so we figured we would get it home and call the mechanic in the morning to have it looked at. As soon as we exited the highway and came to a stop the noise changed to a very loud banging noise. Still no indicator lights. Started to turn onto our road as we were only a few blocks away from home and we had almost no acceleration. Mechanic says it’s a knock in the lower end of the motor and the motor needs replaced. The dealership can’t even look at it for almost a month to decide if the warranty will cover it. They don’t do loaner cars anymore so “if” they approve the warranty claim, then another department can try to help us get a rental covered. We had no indications there was a problem until it was catastrophic and from many claims it seems like Hyundai is well aware of the problem but does everything they can to deny the warranty coverage they brag so much about. Run do not walk away from this terrible vehicle as fast as you can

I am very happy with my purchase, a bit pricey considering I could have gotten a Subaru for the simple fact that it retains its resale value better but I think that the Tucson SEL Plus 2.0 looks more luxurious and feels more secure. It has tons of extras that are included in the price (standards) which make it easier when you are compare shopping. I drove out of the dealership with 9 miles on the odometer and am still getting used to the ride, the only fault I see is that I wished it had a little more force when accelerating to go into the highway for example, but that could just be me driving too slow. The fuel economy is better than I expected, it really did not change that much from my old 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer ES. It has a bigger tank and therefore I pay a little more at the pump, but it lasts me that much more so it evens out, almost, I get about 22-24 mpg City. Another feature I love is the ride, it is smooth and you don't feel the bumps on the road, the construction of the car feels solid. One thing I found a bit odd is that this model SUV does not have a CD player and only 2 USB port :( Other than that, I am satisfied with my purchase and I look forward to having this car for many years to come!

This is the fourth (and last) Tucson I've leased from Hyundai, and it appears something has slipped. I picked another Tucson after my last one was in a wreck; this one has been an altogether different kind of wreck. The gas mileage estimates listed are not in the neighborhood as the car's actual gas mileage, which is significantly lower. On the one I have, the transmission can't seem to find gears, so when you try to accelerate, the car locks up for about a half a second before slingshotting forward. This is major problem; it occurs when starting from a stop, too, but at least then it's easier to recover the car. I've already had Hyundai look at the transmission and claim it is fine; if so, the Tucson's "fine" doesn't pass for "driveable" on most cars. I would advise anyone to stay away lest they get stuck with a clunker like I have.

I went to the dealer with the intention on buying a Hyundai Value, Ruby Red after reading all of the Edmunds reports this car had everything I wanted, almost. During the test drive right off the 1.6 engine turned me off, with the noise and hesitation. I drove a ruby red sport awd and didn't like like it all, walked away. I wet back the next day and requested the dealer to find a fwd ruby red 2.4 eng. sport. They found a gemstone red fwd which i purchased. I like the way it drives, the quietness, comfort of the seats, elect drivers seat. The main thing that I am very irritated with is the radio, it has the cheapest sound system that I have ever listened to in a vehicle, very cheap sounding, low power range on picking up close stations, very disappointed in the radio. The cover over the AC/HEAT/HEAT info panel is very dark tinted and unable to read under normal conditions. Somewhere a long the way I lost it and bought the sport instead of the Value which was what I went to buy and missed out on a much better car. I don't like the sound system at all, very sorry, useless. I have driven the car fo 1yr. 6000 mi. Eng. is powerful' runs well on the freeway at reasonable rpm, but around town I have noticed it to be a little noisy on start up. I plan to change out the radio soon. Two oil changes without adding oil in between. Hyundai has yet to come up with a paint touch kit for the car paint color. Overall I like driving the tucson sport. Highway mileage 32 city 24.Update, I have had the car just over 2yrs. I love to drive the car. For quick results I drive in Sport but, normally I use the ECO option with very little difference in gas mi. The ride on the free way is very good, 75-80 is normal with me. After having to slow down it quickly reaches normal speed. Still like it very much. I have had no problems at all. Can’t change out radio, probably fine for people without hearing loss. Love the little car the more I drive it. It’s quick and Advils, turns sharp. Fun to drive, not a single problem so far.

Make sure you are getting all the technology that you want. I bought a CPO model and was expecting more but was a base model and I did not ask enough questions. I test drove the Tucson but found with further driving the drivers seat is too low my height and must use a seat cushion.

4WD TUSCAN LIMITED

This is my second Tuscan . My first was a 2014 and it broke my heart to give it up. I have had 4 Runners prior and sold my last one in the gas crunch and bought a Jetta. Six months later I sold that. Now this is not normal for me, but my life style demanded more room. In the Jetta I would have plants in front/back/truck areas - it just did not work for a gardener at heart. Well I knew I wanted back into an SUV and was on my way home from the grocery store and stopped to get a brochure. My groceries had to be moved to my new Tuscan Limited. I commute over an hour each way to work so in 4 years there were 60,000 miles on it. I started in December 2017 thinking about replacing it. At that time I would only look at the Tuscan Limited. Well my mechanic told me it would go for an easy 100,000 miles so happily I put off buying another car. Then July rolls around - car is still running great - not one problem between March 2014 and July 2018 and I loved my car. It was the end of month and the new 2019's were due to come out in a couple months. This was the time to deal or wait another year. So one Saturday with my research on the Honda CSV and Tuscan Limited I struck out to look. You know what is sitting in my garage now? The Tuscan Limited 4WD - and I am in love all over again. In the four years between the two cars so much more safety has been added plus little things like a heated steering wheel - I know, but those winters can be cold. My seats have a cooling thing for Texas summers even! My son brought up all of the SUVs in the same size and basic design - Hyundai Tuscan Limited was still my pick. I talked to a man who had a REALLY old Tuscan - he was well over the 100,000 mile mark and was still in love with his car. Of course being a smart man he offered to trade me and was willing to let me continue to make the payments. I really had to think about it for one second and turned him down. The next week what was sitting in the parking lot at work - he had also bought a new Tuscan Limited - HOWEVER he told me he still had his old one. Once he told his wife about all the advancements she decided a new one was for them also.

When I first saw it I loved it and enjoyed driving it. It was a demo with 3000 miles when I purchased it. I have had it 10 months now and I keep experiencing electrical issues. Every time I take it back to the dealership for them to look/diagnose the problem they say they can't find anything wrong with it. The push start hesitates to start the car and I have to keep pushing the button before it starts. The activity screen has failed to turned on and I had to turn the vehicle off and back one to get it back normal. The battery warning came on while I was driving (the same warning you get when the vehicle is on but the engine isn't running). This doesn't happen all the time but it is getting more frequent. I think I just picked the wrong Tucson since I can't find anyone with the same issues as me. I am not sure I would purchase another one just because this is the first Hyundai I've ever bought and it hasn't been a great experience. Please let me know if you or anyone else has these issues....it would greatly appreciated.

I thought that buying a Hyundai Tucson would provide me with a better driving experience that it has. I bought a 2018 model back in May of 2018. First of all the reverse camera is extremely low quality. It is blurry at best during daytime and at nighttime practically unusable. The Android Auto keeps disconnecting from my phone. The climate control has a mind of it's own and not very consistent. It much harder on gas than I expected. I have the 1.6 Turbo model. It has a decent ride. The panoramic sunroof is nice. The chances of buying another Hyundai are next to nil.

Don’t walk, RUN!

I had bought my 2018 Hyundai Tucson in 2020. When I bought it, it had about 40k miles on it. It was still rather new so all I could find were good reviews due to all of these model years having low miles still. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I was driving down the highway, check engine light comes on, and the vehicle won’t go over 40mph. The car eventually died on the side of the highway. I get my oil changed religiously every 3k miles. I still had about 1k left till my next change and the dipstick said the engine had NO OIL!! Well turns out the engine blew. Oh, my Hyundai only has 95k miles on it by the way!!! These engines are absolute garbage. Do research on the class action lawsuit that has forced Hyundai to fix MILLIONS of these engine when they blow due to excessive oil consumption and connective rod bearing failure. My engine is being fixed under recall, but anyone who didn’t get a specific knock sensor recall before the engine blows, is being left out to dry. I would strongly consider against buying a Hyundai or Kia since they are the same company.
Unsafe 2018 Tucson

This car suddenly loses all power on the highway. It completely shuts itself off (or loses all power) forcing you to get it off to side of road. A few minutes later power comes back on by itself. Huge safety issue!! It also will not start some mornings. Car is kept outside. Few minutes later it will start. We replaced car fob batteries. Have taken in to dealer after each issue. They cannot find anything wrong. Do not buy this car. If you are driving on highway and it suddenly loses all electrical power it could cause an accident.
Horrible vehicle

This is an automatic transmission with a manual built into it and it’s an absolute nightmare to drive. I can’t count the number of times this thing has bogged down and almost got me into an accident. There is also a driver learning system and that is also horrible. Terrible and extremely unsafe vehicle. Shame on Hyundai for releasing such a dangerous vehicle to the public! Is it going to take deaths for you to recall?!?!

I love my Tucson. It has a lot of features for the money and is fun and comfortable to drive. My dealer, Herrnstein Hyundai in Chillicothe Oh was amazing, especially Brooke Paul.

Tucson is a serious contender

After test driving many SUV's I think this is a serious contender. It looks great both inside and out. The engine was quiet and the acceleration seemed fine. I tested a Sonata the same day and honestly felt like the Tucson moved better than the Sonata, despite being slower on paper. Safety features were nice, it's a feature rich SUC. The rear cargo area was nice and spacious. Now on to the negatives-rear seat space was more cramped than the other SUV's I've tested. My biggest complaint is I never could get the steering wheel angle to feel right; it felt like I was above the steering wheel and coming in at an angle. I think it's personal preference but I found myself not like the steering on any of the Hyundai's I tried. I didn't get the Tucson but it should be on any compact SUV shoppers radar, take it for a spin and see what you think.

i have had the tucson for 7 months with 6000 miles on it. no problems and a joy to drive. gas mileage in summer 34 mpg hwy, 26 city and 30 mixed. but i"m light on the gas and seldom go over 70mph. only really step on it on freeway entrances. man does this suv go!! drove in sport mode for just 1 week and cranked it as an experiment and only got 24 mpg overall. great quiet ride on freeway. bit rough on bad roads. only annoyance to date is fit and finish. rattle in panoramic sunroof and dash area but only in hot weather on rough roads. Many of those in wisc. To nitpic though, interior is a bit drab with all the black plastic and very little bright trim, especially on doors and console area. Ebay took care of that though. i highly recommend this car. I get lots of complements on the aqua blue paint and cool 19" rims.

The windshield is very fragile and cheap. Scratches easily and cracks quickly if you get a small chip in the window. The interior seats stain easily and difficult to clean. The interior plastic and alloy also scratch easily. The tires are garbage. If you have kids and a tall spouse, it is nearly impossible to comfortably sit in the driver or passenger seat with the kids carseats in the back. The trunk is very small, and can barely fit a stroller. Overall, it is poor quality and design. Would not reccomend for a family.

This Tucson has satisfied my needs for several things. We had a major snowfall while I was away and had to go over the mountains with ice and snow I use my 4 wheel drive . The only time I slid on this 300-mile trip was about a block from my house when I tried to start out from a dead stop at a stop sign. I just purchased an SUV tent to take this camping in John Day we are looking forward to Fossil hunting my friends and I now have plenty of room safe and secure my only issue my old car got 33 miles to the gallon and I'm averaging 16 with that Tucson other than that

Failed AC at 62k miles
Disappointed in Kentucky, 03/08/2023
2018 Hyundai Tucson Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
I have a Hyundai 2018 Tucson Turbo, at 62K miles my AC went out. I'm in KY, not a desert area--AC used 4 months a year. It's going to cost me $900 plus 1-2 days of a car rental (because dealerships are so backed up and don't offer loaner cars since COVID) to get it repaired. Hyundai CSR says she will note my 'concern', but no one will reach back out to me. Note I have a 2005 Tucson with 162K miles and have had no issues with air than regular filter changes, and a charge and freon. On a side note I also hate that there is only 1 USB port in this SUV...none in the middle console, none in the back seats!

This vehicle is roomy but not too big. It feels safe on the highway when driving with large trucks. It has plenty of space inside for 5 adults to be comfortable. I have driven many long trips and it is comfortable for the driver too. I just love it. I went with a budget model but I am not missing out. The only thing I wish I had was seat warmers but everything else is perfect. This is a vehicle I will keep for a long time.
