2019 Hyundai Tucson SEL 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
51 of 51 people found this review helpful
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.

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.

Hyundai Tucson is a surprise

Impressed me as to how well it drives and the feeling of a solid car with excellent handling. I was considering Mercedes SUV C300 and Jaguar Fpace both of which look outstanding as well as the Mazda CX5. I can't say that the others are noticeably better handling than the Tucson. Excellent value. I have only had the car for 3 weeks.

Tucson Sport (2.4 Engine)

Six month since I bought it, perfect, nice looking, a lot of equipment , reasonable storage. Mileage is not super economic, but the price and rebates were excellent. I had a Sorento 2012 with same engine 2.4, 93000 miles and seven years, only replaced front seat heater and opening remote control, breaks front and back once. I like better the Tucson design than the Kia Sportage, both share a lot of the components. Somebody may be concern with the engine failure from 2011 to 2014, the problem was a production process, not a design flaw, they fixed, low % of engine had the problem. The 10 years 100,000 miles come handy. Tucson is great to drive, quiet ride, nice Apple Car features.

Honda CRV must select LX trim to get 2.4. Which leaves you w/o all driver assist (front collision avoidance, lane-departure, rear-cross traffic ect.) Toyota Rav-4, forget any advance previous safety features, of which gets you no significant insurance savings. I had to select the Sport model which was last years 2018 Value Edition, to get the same features, but upgraded from 1.6 Turbo (discontinued for 2019 model year) to 2.4 non-turbo (trust me, loosing turbo to naturally aspirated saves on vehicle lifetime useage.) Fuel economy!!!! Well, do you wish to quibble about a few MPG when you are in the 30 MPG range. I test drove all comparable, Nissan Rogue, Honda CRV, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, nice but, CVT not as seamless as expected, and now issues arising with long-term (100,000+ mi.) use. Toyota uses comparable auto-trans as the Tucson, but paying for Toyota name, and losing all tech features not my style. Just go test drive a Tucson, and any comparable model of your choice. I'm sure you will find, as I did, fit and finish, tech, and driver comfort features found on the Tucson as standard equipment puts this vehicle ahead of the competition.
Good basic vehicle, engine issues, some cosmetic

We have two Tahoes, otherwise would have gone with the Sante Fe. This is a good, basic small SUV. The finish is just above average. What is disturbing is engine performance. That had stall/fire issues, did a recall and installed a computer chip to keep the engine from knocking. Well, it does not knock, but it does not perform consistently either. Sometimes you hit the gas pedal and it just hangs out. Obviously the chip and the engine are not in sync. I did go into the dealer, and they could not find anything, or did not want to find anything. Also, a slight coolant drop over time, they could find nothing with that. Otherwise, it appears reliable to start and drive, however getting another is not decided yet. Also, exterior trim could be better. Headlamp covers failed and got pitted while the rest of the car was good, so obviously poor plastic. The paint and rubber trim are starting to fail with 33K miles, regular cleaning and waxing. I feel the fees for blue link and remote start are not justified. In the last 10 starts, it would not connect 6 of the times. So, in this current time cycle, I did not renew. A theoretically nice feature, but the car either warms up or cools down fairly quickly within the first mile of driving. If it worked rapidly and all the time, it might have been worth it. However, given the issues noted versus cost. No thanks.

Hyundai makes a quality SUV and they bring to market an indisputable value proposition by offering accessories and services other OEMs do not. It is impossible to find a sub 30k SUV that includes triple beam LED’s, wireless phone charger, 360 degree camera, AWD and other standard features. But this value comes at a cost. Namely sub par customer support at the National level. With Hyundai you get a quality vehicle but when issues persists the best I can say is good luck. Long past my on-going issue, I can say the Vehicle is reliable, comfortable, competent and basically enjoyable to drive. The seats could be a little more comfortable and the vehicle a bit peppier, but overall I’m pleased with it and would recommend.
