Tech and safety features at a great price!

Overall the Tucson SEL has lots of options and for the price just can't be beat if what you want is a nice infotainment center and safety features. If you want to get comparable features from other manufacturers you're going to have to pony up some more dough. What I don't like: 1. The interior door buttons and trim feel cheap. 2. There is no remote start in the key fob which leads me to my next negative. 3. Blue Link is a scam! In order to use the remote app Blue Link to start your car it costs $200 per year. That's right, from the manufacturer that is the only way to remotely start your car. After my 3 years of free blue link service are over I'll have an authorized installer put in a remote start that uses my key fob. 4. The gas mileage for the 2.4l 181hp engine isn't great. Hyundai says I should expect 22 city and 28 mpg for on the highway. What I like: 1. I love the safety features. 2. I love the android autoplay and how it is configured and controlled via the infotainment center and steering wheel. 3. I love how comfortable the 8 way lumbar power driver seat is. 4. I think the car looks pretty nice. 5. The warranty is best in class! Overall if you have a limited budget, you have to buy a vehicle that can get you the most of what you really want and compromise on the the features that aren't as important for you. Tech, safety, seat comfort, and looks were what I felt were most important to me, the compromise is I gave up a bit in interior quality and mpg. If you value the same things that I do in a new vehicle then I think this car is for you too! Update: After about 2.5 years and 12k miles I still love this little car. I've experienced no problems. I experienced one recall which was taken care of promptly by the dealer.

A Wonderful Vehicle

Please do not let the title of this review dismay you. What looks like a nice little truck is soooooo much more. The styling is great, the height is great, the ride is smooth, THE CABIN IS VERY QUIET!!!! We hit the highway immediately and came alone side many 18 wheelers and the sound disturbance is minimal at best. The double takes are a lot of fun to see. We have the SEL FWD and could not be more pleased and excited. At this trim you have dual climate control, tinted windows, an 8 inch touch screen, 18 inch alloy wheels, lane assist, front AND rear collision monitoring STANDARD!!!! Hyundai is light years away from the 1990's. This is one fine automobile. You cannot beat the price for the value I guarantee it.

2019 Hyundai Tucson Night 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

After having a Toyota Highlander for 17 years, I purchased a Hyundai Sonata Limited, which I absolutely loved. I owned it for four years, but due to several spinal fusion surgeries it was getting difficult for me to get in and out of the car, and I also missed the convenience of a SUV. I did my due diligence and read all the reviews, test drove everything from the BMW X1, to the Mazda CX 5, to the Rav 4, to the Infiniti QX 30, but nothing could touch the value and quality of what I got in the Tucson Night Edition. I did not particularly want leather again, but did want features that come with higher end levels, like lumbar support, heated and power seats, power panoramic sunroof, upgraded Infinty stereo, and much more. The Night Edition gave me all those features and more. It handles like a dream, so much more spirited than my car. I love the lane departure feature that keeps you from drifting into the next lane of traffic. The ride is super quiet, the cabin is made of quality materials, and the outside looks great. Honestly you could put a Mercedes badge on it and not know the difference. Most of all, I appreciated all the rebates I received as a loyal Hyundai owner. I am leasing this model, and I know I will be getting another one when this term is over. I definitely urge you to consider this great little package of dynamite! It packs a great punch for a little bit of cash!

This is actually my wife’s car, but I have been behind the wheel a lot while taking road trips. She wasn’t looking for a ton of features, just wanted wanted a comfortable suv with room and decent fuel economy. She also wanted Android Auto, which she uses for Google maps. The vehicle has not disappointed! Her drive to work is 50/50 highway and city....averages 26 mpg on those trips...not bad! I do most of the highway driving when we go out of town....usually gets around 31 mpg on those trips. It rides nice, relatively quiet inside and the steering is weighted just right. The 2.0 engine in base model won’t set your heart on fire, but it does a better job than I expected.....has enough power for most people’s needs. If regularly carry 4 passengers and haul a lot of stuff in cargo area, move to one of the upper trim lines with the 2.5 engine.

Best Warrenty, my last Tucson was still going after 12 years. I just wanted to update. I’m 70 now so I wanted a smoother ride.
