The test drive on the ‘23 Tucson Hybrid Blue Impressed me. I’d been driving a ‘15 Toyota Venza, a super reliable gas guzzling SUV that had a clunky ride and handling. In contrast, the Tucson Hybrid was much quicker, handled and rode like a higher end sedan and despite having smaller exterior dimensions, had as much interior space for seating and cargo. We bought the car and after admittedly only 7K miles, the less expensive Blue more than lived up to the promise of the test drive. Impressive throttle response and a smooth, quiet road vehicle. We get 35-38mpg on the highway so long as we hold our speed around 70mph. We do a bit better than that in the city running errands. No problems at all. Two minor negatives. I am not fond of the button-controls for shifting (though I’m used to it by now) and the car came with no spare tires. I managed to get the donut spare that the non-hybrid Tucsons come with on EBay (the wheels are the same size so it works). I haven’t needed it yet, but I’d advise anyone who buys a vehicle that comes with no spare tire to do what’s necessary to get one.

SUV with 130 Pound Cargo Load Limit

I purchased this Hyundai Tucson Hybrid a year ago (July 2023) after wrecking a Santa Fe I had driven for 15 years. I was fairly satisfied until, two months after purchase, I loaded four 50-pound bags (200 pounds total) of pea gravel into the cargo area. As I was driving home I heard a loud cracking sound and when I opened the tail gait found that the floor had broken from front to back and the sides had lifted so that the floor was now V-shaped. I took the vehicle to my local dealer to see if the floor could be replaced under warranty. The answer was NO! I was told that since I had "interfered" with the part, it was not covered under warranty. America's Best Warranty? Forget that. Also I was shown a tiny tiny label by the tailgate latch with black letters on black background that stated "Max. Load 60 Kg (130 pounds)" . Who makes an SUV with a 130 pound load limit in the cargo area? Apparently Hyundai does! That means an owner weighing more than 130 pounds cannot sleep in the back. The vehicle cannot carry two large dogs, over 130 pounds of landscaping material, over 130 pounds of camping gear, over 130 pounds of anything. In addition, the warning is so small, so hidden with black letters on black background, that you have to have 20/20 vision and a flashlight to see it, and that's if you know it's there and are looking for it. I scoured the Owner's Manual but did not find anything about the cargo area load limit. In addition to the cargo area floor, the vehicle locking system is absurdly illogical and unfriendly, and there are only a couple of settings you can change. For example, you can choose whether you want all doors to lock automatically when you move the transmission out of P into R or D, or when you are traveling 5 miles per hour. What difference does that make? But there is no setting to have the doors unlock automatically when you place the vehicle back in park. You have to remember to do that manually. Honestly, I do like the comfort, some of the safety features, and the hybrid system that are built into the Tucson, but I could have found these attributes, and probably better gas mileage, on other hybrid models.

I have found that the safety features on my 2023 Hyundai Tuscon Hybrid have been a life-saver on several occasions. I'm glad I waited for one with all the extra features..

2023 Tucson Ultimate Hybrid

I was travelling on Bishop Grandin at Waverley when I slowly started losing speed going from 70 down to 0. Stepping on the gas did nothing. When I reached 30 mph I started getting a message with the warning alarms going crazy alerting me that I had a "Hybrid System Failure".( The gas engine would not cut in. ) ...I was fortunate to be able to pull over three lanes with the other drivers seeing my hazards on and letting me move over. The vehicle was still running but I couldn't move and the hybrid battery system graphics on the info screen showed it being completely depleted. The Murray Hyundai dealership took it for test drives and did not have a problem. Focus where I purchased my vehicle As Paul mentioned in his email, we all follow the same repair procedures but if they have already started it would be recommended to continue at the same dealer so that all the information is in the same place and the same technician can look at it further when the issue occurs.
