I recently purchased a 2022 Tucson SEL Premium. This is my household's third Tucson; we had a 2017 SE and currently have a 2021 Value Edition. There are three notable differences (not counting the difference in appearance) compared to previous model years. First and maybe most important is the 2.5L engine. Finally this SUV has a suitable sized engine. The 2.0L that previously powered the Tucson underwhelming to say the least. While he 2.5L isn't going to put you back in your seat, it's going to get the job done merging onto the highway or pulling out in fast moving traffic. Second, the seats are far more comfortable than they've been in the past. Next to the underpowered engine of past model years, this was my biggest complaint. I don't know if Hyundai is doing focus groups but they must have been made aware of the seats because they've addressed them. I couldn't imagine a long road trip in the front seats prior to the 2022 but now I'm looking forward to them. Third, the backseat passengers got some leg room. If I'm not mistake the wheelbase is slightly longer this year and that extra length was gifted to backseat passengers. We have a few six footers in the family and packed a couple in the back seat this past weekend. There were no complaints, something we heard plenty of in the past. This one upgrade from previous model years really puts the Tucson up against it's larger sibling, the Sante Fe. I can't see spending more money on the Sante Fe at this point. All in all, I'm very pleased with the new 2022 Tucson. I wasn't sure I'd get a third one but after owning it for a couple of weeks, I can't imagine buying something else at the same price.

I've had my red SEL Premium for over a month now and overall, I absolutely love it. Outside of its distinctive good looks (IMO), the Tucson is really a giant leap forward from the last generation in terms of features, ride quality, and space utility. The new Tucson comes in so many trims, options and drivetrains there's really something for everybody. It really comes down to what you really want and can live with. I couldn't afford the Limited trim so I went to the highest SEL trim available with the Convenience and Premium package. I've sat in the SE and to be blunt, there's a world of difference in terms of what it offers (er, lacks) vs. the SEL-Convenience so if you can afford the latter, go for it. I wasn't too fond of the "cloth" seats of the SEL-Convenience trim, it just felt somewhat abrasive with a kind of cheap, nylon-y fabric feel that just lacked quality. The base sound system is just lousy, so if you are an audiophile like me, step up to Premium to get the upgraded Bose and leather seats. Trust me, it's well worth the additional investment. A lot's been said about the touch screen buttons in the center stack. I agree they are highly sensitive so it's easy to accidentally turn on/turn off something you don't mean to when you're cleaning it. There's a lot of glossy black plastic in the car. On the shifter area, door panels which make it a pain to clean as they are dust magnets so be prepared to wipe that stuff down with a soft cloth a lot. Probably the only glitchy annoyance I've seen so far is with the wireless apple car play. It's weird that the SE/SEL trims get wireless, but the Limited does not. So although convenient to have it, I sometimes see the car play freeze or it just randomly disconnects. Not sure if that is an Apple issue or Bluetooth issue, but it can be annoying after awhile. Overall however, the car drives great. It handles reasonably well, not as good as the Mazda CX-5, but the ride is smooth and interior noise is very quiet. The acceleration is pretty weak with the gas engine, but it's no different than the base engines of the latest RAV-4, CX-5, and Tiguans. So if you've got a heavy foot and need more horses in your life, then step up to the Hybrid. Interior space is really a high point in this car. I'm just a single guy so I have more space than I'd ever need to shuttle friends around town or drop stuff off in the trunk. I can easily fit my golf clubs and 3-4 large suitcases back there without folding down the rear seats. Another high point of the Tucson are all of the high tech safety features on the car. Sure it offers your typical stuff like adaptive cruise and rear cross traffic alerts, but more unexpected stuff like oncoming traffic warnings and rear occupancy alerts are nice touches. It's all great stuff, but I wonder long term about needing to fix that stuff some years down the road as if it breaks, it'll likely cost a ton to fix it. I spent the past year during the pandemic searching for my compact crossover. For the longest time it was always the CX-5. But then the Hyundai reveal video of this car last Fall really blew me away and I had to wait for it - to see if it would live up to its hype in person. There's a lot of style and substance with this car - it's living proof that the compact crossover segment doesn't have to be "boring". Kudos Hyundai! One final note is that Hyundai charges extra for white and red paint colors ($350). Fortunately I got my red one early on when they weren't charging extra for it, but I'll tell you, the Calypso Red really "pops". I get a lot of compliments on it - Hyundai finally moved away from that disgusting Heinz-ketchupy red they used to splatter on the earlier years of the last gen Tucson.

Love hate

Under 5000 miles bought with only 3 miles on it and we have our first problem. The warning that comes up with the engine control system (whatever that is) calling around to schedule an appointment hasn’t been going well. The first dealership where we bought the car from said they’re two weeks out and have 13 in the shop currently for engine or transmission replacements. 13 locally is absurd, so right away, it made me panic, I called another local dealership, and they said they’re about a week out. The kicker is they can’t provide a loner car which is mind-blowing. I also have a 2008 Lexus LS, and still to this day, if I take it in for service, they provide a loaner. Who can go possibly weeks without a car? The adventure is just beginning, and we’ll see how it goes. If the service is better than what it seems like it’s going to be, then I’ll update the review. Because cars have problems which I can understand, but if a company can’t take care of the problems and customers, then this whole issue would make me hate Hyundai. Being a first-time customer, this may very well be my last. At this very moment, I would not recommend this vehicle. Most of the 5-star reviews you’re reading are posted in The honeymoon phase.

I was sitting in my car..stopped waiting to make a turn when a car hit me head on. All of his airbags deployed as he was driving very fast when he hit me..my seatbelt held me in place..I had no injuries and my front end of my car did not crunch up like his car..thank you Hyundai for making such a safe car.

This car has everything I ever wanted in a small SUV. I fell on love with this car back in Oct. of 2020 when Korea announced it was coming out. I finally purchased this car 2 weeks ago. I am not disappointed at all. I love the center console on the Limited model. It is so great to have a 10.3 inch screen. I never owned a car that allows you to have a split screen. I am able to see what is playing on the radio and see the map on the same screen. This car allows you to voice commands, from making phone calls, to turning the radio station on, to navigating to your local McDonalds. Just say the word and the car does what you want. There are also buttons on the steering wheel to change music stations, and volume. Some reviews complained there were no buttons for radio or volume. Not true. I also love that when you put on your directional, the camera shows you the blind spot on that side. The 360 camera is so clear and large on the screen. Pulling into a parking spot is so easy with the front camera. My model comes with a large panoramic sunroof which brightens the car, and brings in soft breezes when open. This car has memory seats, which makes it easy for two different drivers. The front seats have heated seats and cool seats for summer driving. The rear seats are heated and recline. The tailgate automatically opens if you stand behind it with your packages. There is so much more to write about You will not be sorry. Go out and order your 2022 Tuscon Limited now.
