Great but…
Just got my vehicle after waiting a long time to get it delivered. Not complaining about that, but the A/C was not working. Brand new car with a problem already that shouldn’t be unless its a new thing out of the makers that I didnt know. Took it back and I am currently waiting to hear from the service department. Love the car but I didnt go for a brand new one just for it to have a problem already. If it is a new thing from the makers, at least the dealer needs to get it right before it gets to the owner. Other than that, the features, how it rides, how it feels, overall its a great car to own.

Love my Tucson Hybrid
Love the roominess, smooth ride, power, great fuel economy since I’m coming from a mini van that got 18mpg. I love all the safety features. Comfy ride. I’m so glad they added the power hatch to the 2023 hybrid blue trim this year. Much needed feature. All around very very happy with my Tucson hybrid!!

Great car at a great price
The Hyundai Tucson Limited offers every feature you could ever want in a car and they do it at under 40k. I don't think there's a better SUV for the money on the market today. It drives smooth, the seats are very comfortable and the safety features are amazing. The only minor issue I have with the car is that it's somewhat sluggish. It's not as bad in sport mode but in normal mode it takes a second to accelerate which can make pulling out into traffic and passing cars a bit more difficult than some other SUVs in its class. I started my car search with 8 cars on my list and I got pricing on and test drove all eight over 3 months. As I said the Tucson Limited was superior to all of them in every way with the exception of acceleration so getting the Tucson was an easy decision and one I'm very happy I made.

Very good overall!
I owned a 2013 Kia Optima and now with two kids, I needed a larger vehicle. I had no problems with my Optima and was leaning towards a Kia Sorento with the 3rd row being the kicker for the kids. I did some real thorough research and compared the Sorento to a few different cars (Tucson, RAV4, CR-V). The RAV4 base model was more than the others, and I had an 06 CR-V and loved it, but the price for the trim I wanted was high. In comparing the features and costs, I saw that I could get everything in the Tucson that I wanted in the Sorento but for $3-4k less (I would lose the 3rd row, but my wife and I were fine with that and we could trade out in the future if need be). I test drove the Tucson and I enjoyed it, so I went with it. I went with the SEL AWD with the Convenience Package (gas model). The exterior is very stylish and I like the Amazon Grey color (the green tint really makes it eye-catchy). The convenience package also gives it the 19-inch wheels which I think makes it look and feel better. The power liftgate is GREAT! I love how you can open and close it with a button. You can still manually open it, but I get a kick out of the power function. The interior looks elegant with the leatherette seating and large touch-screen. The seats are comfortable for long and short trips, and I like how the back seats can recline. They don't have a sunglasses holder which is a bummer, but there IS an aftermarket option available to put one in. The console area is large so you can put a good amount in there. The cargo in the rear is spacious and can fit a good amount (it's a little bigger than my wife's Chevy Equinox), and you can fit way more with putting the seats down, but most folks should be able to get away with just the back. I like the sunroof options as it's just a basic sunroof (I've read mixed things on the panoramic ones). The ride is quiet and comfortable. Riding over potholes isn't too bad either. I've read a lot about the lackluster engine, and this was a major consideration since I have a lead foot. The CR-V and the RAV4 do have better engines (turbo-charged but still better), and if Hyundai at least went on par with the HP in the gas model, then it would be much better, but for what it's worth, it's really not THAT bad. The Sport drive mode makes a load of difference; it feels looser overall and you can punch the gas better, and I've noticed with the normal mode, it acclimates to your own style. It's something you'll need to get used to, but again, it's fine to me. I like the safety features, and I like how you can adjust them off completely or just a simple warning. The lane-keep assist is nice, but it can be too sensitive (if you're trying to drive around a cyclist, for instance, it doesn't recognize that and can lean you back in too quickly). This is one you CAN adjust, which is good. The backup camera has a good visual area, and I like the parking camera button feature. I get a real kick out of the speed limit feature (it really senses the speed limit sign well and notes it on the screen). The infotainment system is sweet. It's fully touch with the volume and tune knobs acting as scroll wheels, and that's an adjustment, but the steering wheel volume/station buttons are good fallbacks. You also have digital gauges with the convenience package, and the themes are limited but pretty cools. The radio screen can take a couple seconds to load and move around, but it's not unbearable. I like how it has all your favorites in the menu (FM/AM/SiriusXM) which makes it easier for station changing. I love that it had HD Radio standard (wasn't available on the other ones unless you went to way higher trims), as the sound quality is better and you get additional stations. The sound quality is very good overall for the trim. Bluetooth isn't an issue and the calls sound good. The microphones are above you so they can hear you fine. The wireless charge option is good for compatible phones. The Bluelink features are very nice (I can remote start and adjust the climate settings appropriately), but I wish it came standard rather than have it for a 3-year period before you have to subscribe. I love the remote start option (given that it's factory not aftermarket), and the range is larger than what is said in the manual from what I've seen. I like the dual climate system a lot. It's nice that you can adjust individual settings and sync them for the whole car too. It cools the car pretty quickly and even a high fan speed is bearable. The warranty was also a positive for me here. Can't really beat a 10-year warranty (you can match it with Kia mostly), and the included maintenance put it over the top. I have about 1100 miles on the car now and I like it. I'm curious how it will fare in the winter (I bought it end of April), but regardless, if you're in the market for a small SUV, this should be on your short list, at the very least.

hyundai tucson audio problems - be aware
This line of vehicles have a problem where the audio system will stop working completely. Hyundai have no solution for this problem, and they are not willing to do anything about it nor provide any time estimate on when/if they will ever address it. you can search the internet to find many angry owners with the same problem.
