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.

Last Year of the Turbo

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.

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.

Leased ultimate which is top of the line. Very quiet and handles like a dream. Enough gadgets to keep us busy for a long time. Electronics are great

2018 Tucson Limited AWD Ultimate Package

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.
