Terrible 1.6T Engine
Love the SUV, but the main component (the engine) is horrible. When accelerating, especially uphill, the engine sounds like it's about to come apart. This problem started all of a sudden at about 1,000 mi (6 weeks into ownership). It came about with a bang driving under 10mph in a parking lot. No trouble codes thrown so Hyundai says nothing wrong. Google it, several others have complained about the same pinging-like action when the engine revs above 2,000 rpm and driving under a load. It's annoying to the point you have to turn up the radio to dround out the sound. Such a disappointment and Hyundai's warranty is useless when they say they can't find anything wrong.

Totally Disappointed
This car gets a one star because it started out great with all the bells and whistles working. This hybrid limited is unsafe to drive. It cut off while driving in flowing traffic. Battery and check engine light flashing. The two closest dealerships could not take the car for a month. The car is 1 1/2 hour away and they have had the car for over a month now and it's still not fixed. A technician was called in to fix the car and he can't figure out what's wrong. They changed the water pump, flushed coolant, and changed the 12v battery. I'm calling every 2 days to get answers bc they don't follow up. This is a nightmare!!! The car only has 15,000 miles on it with 2 oil changes since buying it. These are the DTC codes that are on my Bluelink: P056200 Powertrain, P177500 Powertrain, P177400 Powertrain, U100700 Powertrain, C110216 Chassis, U100787 HEV, P1A8B00 FCEV. Save yourself the heartache, don't purchase this hybrid.

Where to begin… let’s start with glitchy tech
Have the hybrid blue and while it has a great look and incredible gas mileage, I can’t get past all the problems and truly wished I read the legit owner reviews and just kept my trusty RAV-4. Here are a few of the issues so far (less than 5k miles): CarPlay drops and screen goes black at least once during each drive. Hyundai blames Apple and Apple blames Hyundai. “Shifter System Malfunction” message and wasn’t able to shift from park to drive until restarted car (no code recorded, so no help from dealer svc dept) Embarrassingly LOUD reverse beeping - like louder than a dump truck Pinging/loud engine noise at low speed on inclines - WHY? No spare tire (as mentioned in other reviews) Radio begins playing after phone calls for absolutely no reason So far the dealership has been no help and cites “the car is too new” for them to address the problems. Hope these problems are addressed and corrected, but won’t hold my breath.

Bought a second 2022 Tucson Hybrid
UPDATE: 5/22/24 My 22 Tucson Hybrid Limited now has 22k miles on the odometer. The car is still stellar in every way. Everything is holding up exceptionally well. I paid MSRP less a $500 rebate and was forced to buy some nonsense $1000 add on stuff. At the time, that was still a fantastic deal. Many dealers were charging a 5 to 10k market adjustment and getting it. The 24 model of this exact vehicle is now widely available around here. The discounts off MSRP are 3 to 5K and that's pre any rebates. The fact that I can now buy the 24 for around 34K is amazing. For the money, nothing else comes close in my opinion. We love both of our Tucson Hybrids. We're getting a very steady 37MPG. Great car, comfortable, rides pretty nice, and has enough power to be quite peppy if needed. My main disappointment is the Bose stereo system. It's a shame they changed to Bose. For us, these are perfect. Edmunds was very helpful with their reviews when it came time to buy. In August I purchased an SEL CONVENIENCE. I love it so much, I decided to buy another. This time I went for the Limited Hybrid. It cost about 6K more than the SEL CONVENIENCE, but it's got a ton of extra stuff. The steering seems to be nicer on the Limited. More firm and responsive to me. The tech is amazing. I love all the extra goodies. Smaht Pahk is very cool. The cameras and warnings are just so helpful when parking. The vehicle rides quiet and smooth. The NAV is great. It's just unbelievable that you can get this much car for this price in today's market. There are a few thing that aren't as nice as the SEL CONVENIENCE. The headlights as an example, are great when looking straight ahead. However, when turning, they don't difuse well and the ability to see around the corner is not nearly as good as on the SEL CONVENIENCE. The Bose Stereo system is maybe 1/4 of a notch better than the SEL CONVENIENCE Stereo. Why on earth did Hyundai stop using what they did prior to 2022? The final con, all that piano black super shiny plastic is a dust magnet. I keep a microfiber in each of our Tucson Hybrids, because the dust sticks out like soar thumb. It still irks me that there's no spare tire in either one. I give it 5 stars, but Hyundai really cheaper out on the stereo, lack of a spare tire, and the poor design of the Limited headlights is dangerous.

We got two of the Blue models.
My husband and I each bought one last month. We've never been so happy with a car. I got the white one and he got the black one. They drive like a dream and it's just so fun. I feel good about the safety features because I always have kids with me and one of my sons drives it on a regular basis. It's absolutely a beautiful car! We tend to keep our cars for a few years, but the Hyundai warranty will convince us to hold on to these. Great pep from a corner stop, smooth and quiet around town, and fun on the highway.
