Really 3.5 Stars. An upgrade, but disappointing.
I enjoyed our 2019 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate so much that I knew that I would buy it off lease, which I did. I've long thought that with a couple of tweaks to that Tucson you'd have a nearly perfect vehicle. Well I give Hyundai credit, they've made those tweaks: this vehicle is slightly bigger, slightly longer, with more room in the rear seat and cargo area, and with MORE luxury features. The styling has really grown on me, and overall this vehicle is more than comparable to the several Acuras I've owned. The Hybrid Limited has all the stuff on it you could ever want, bigger wheels with lower profile tires, and the all wheel drive makes this the most zippy & nimble vehicle of its type I've ever driven. In heavy city stop and go driving, we are averaging 27 MPG over the first 1500 miles, which is an 80% improvement over the 2019 model with the 2.4 l ICE engine. In most ways, after a couple months I think this is the best vehicle I've ever owned. So why only 3.5 stars? It's not immediately apparent upon test driving, but the seats are uncomfortable. The driver seat has a very awkward curved nature to it as you settle in, which seems to force the headrest into your head and neck area no matter how high or low it is adjusted. It's as if I want to sit up straight but can't, because the headrest is pushing my head and neck forward. I would literally be more comfortable if I took the headrest off. No amount of adjustment helps. Even with the lumbar support fully inflated, it's difficult for me to find a comfortable upright position (I'm 6'1, 240). I am somewhat of a seat fiddler in any vehicle, but with the '23 Tucson it's impossible to get the adjustment exactly right. Pretty weird. Unfortunately that's not the only disappointment with the seats. One of my favorite features from the 2019 is the rear seats with adjustable upright support. Even with limited space, that recline made the rear seats much more habitable, and that feature carries over to the 2023 model. On the '19 ICE seats are comfortable on long drives for people of any size and weight. I never minded waiting for my kids swim practice, because I would actually spread out in the rear seat, lean it back and get some work done.However -- in this 2023 Hybrid model, they have to put the battery somewhere, and it's underneath the rear seat. Your butt can feel that you're sitting on a hard surface after about 15 minutes, as opposed to a typical sprung, upholstered seat bottom, which apparently they've left out. Eventually you just feel like you're sitting on a hard box. Super, super uncomfortable. I can't take it for more than 2 hours, so I don't know how anybody could make a long family drive in these rear seats. As fun as it is to drive this vehicle, and as functional and practical as it is - I already know that I will not be buying it off lease. I hope this is something they can correct in the future. Hell I wish it was something they could correct right now, as I really like my car!

Seats are deteriorating. One year old!
My pleather seats, both front driver & passenger sides began deteriorating in the same exact spot on both sides. This started happening about 18,000 miles on it. Hyundai Motor Corp denied our claim. I was told it was due to "outside" forces. Seriously, I mean c'mon. Just fix it, is all I ask. I've been buying Hyundai's, exclusively, since 2000. I doubt I will ever buy another one. They do not abide by their warranty. Watch out guys!

Phantom LTD
The vehicle shows its road manners and looks like no other especially at under 40k.Rommy and just the right size in the back seat and for most loading, The LTD large screens integrated is EV like. Bose sound system is excellent, the paint job is second to none (note a ceramic coating even a better deep look and easy to clean) This really is a nice machine highly recommend.
2023 Limited After 6 Months and 8500 Miles
I needed a car quickly. My 2017 X3 was a total loss and I had to evaluate and buy from limited inventory on everything. Hyundai did not mark up the MSRP like others did/do in October 2022. We recently completed a 3500 mile road trip so I got to know the car much more intimately. I was very pleased averaging 33 MPG over the entire 3 week trip and several fill up intervals averaged 35 MPG typically traveling at 70-80 MPH on highways. Around town I get 26-28 MPG. And unlike my X3 I can fill up with regular fuel. The ride was very comfortable, two adults and two dogs, golf clubs, golf cart, coolers, and bags. The rear hatch area is very spacious and we didn't need to use a roof carrier. AC performed well in the southern heat, ventilated seats were a great touch. I love the heated steering wheel for the winter, something my X3 did not have. Bose sound was great and Sirus Radio was helpful. AppleCar play for Podcasts and Waze for Navigation. I prefer Waze over the in built navigation. BlueLink works wonders for me locking, locating and starting my car for cold days and warm. Lots of configuration options with the Limited, almost overwhelming at first but when set up it's nice. Lots of tech safety that can be Active, Warning or Off. Handling is ok, not BMW like. Braking feels good. As reviewed the car is underpowered. It's not quick to get up to speed and takes some thought and time to pass. The improved fuel efficiency is the trade off that I can accept today. I had my first service recently. Although my Hyundai dealer does not wash and vacuum my car like my former BMW dealer did, I didn't spend $100+ for a simple oil change :) I'm happy with the purchase and plan to keep the car for 3-5 years. I hope my next car has a plug and range greater than what is on the market today.
