Used 2023 Hyundai Tucson SUV Consumer Reviews
Best value is to buy certified
I boughtva 2023 Tucson Limited Certified last week. Only 5k miles and like new. Saved $7,000 over a new 2024. That said it's a nice all around commuter vehicle. Well put together, comfortable, great sound system, panoramic sunroof to brighten the interior. I personally have no issues with the acceleration. While it's no barnburner it has more than enough power for day to day driving. I do have a FWD model and live at near sea level in flat Florida. Maybe its an issue with an AWD model in the mountains. Regardless, the constant complaining from car reviewers isn't at all the case in my experience (and my last car was a Subaru Legacy XT with a 260 HP turbo, so I know what quick is. I test drove base engine models of the Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Outback, Mazda CX50, Honda CRV and Volkswagen Taos. The Tucson won out over all those. I think anyone shopping for a compact crossover should definitely have it on their list.
It has wings
We traded our 2019 Tuscon and upgraded to the 2023. Amazing ride, gas mileage is great. Luxurious, spacious sexy design. From the new grill to the interior. Hyundai killed it with the body style safety features. We love this car

Prefer it over my previous....yes, Subaru Forester
I never thought I would buy a Hyundai. However, the warranty, appearance, crispness, and bells and whistles with my Tuscon made it non-arguable. I have owned it for one week and am highly pleased with it. The final test will be to see how it does in the snow and hills of the Northeast. My last 3 new vehicles have been Subaru Foresters, which have NEVER left me stranded in the snow/weather, so some tough competition there.

Too many poor "convenience" features
Not a bad mid-size SUV, but too many "convenience" features that can't be disabled. These features are either annoying or useless and can't be disabled or turned off. Prefer actual gauges to screens. Fuel indicator is not well-placed. Smart cruise control is overrated and detracts from driving experience. Average MPG indicator is useless and takes up too much real estate on dash. One number would be sufficient. Driver attention and other convenience messages are annoying.

I tried to like it
I got the top of the line '23 Tuscon Limited and tried my best to like it for the last year, but finally threw in the towel last week in favor of a Mazda CX5 Turbo. The sluggishness and lack of responsiveness in the Tuscon gas pedal is unrivaled. I felt unsafe, especially merging into traffic. The instrument panel was completely counterintuitive with the speedometer on the left side (why??), no ability to display the clock on the screen at all times, and very boring home screen. The mirrors should be power folding for the price, and the leather seats felt so thin and cheap. Within a week of owning the car the seat was full of creases, places I'm sure would have split within a few years. The cheap shiny material on the grill started peeling within a few weeks as well. I couldn't get used to the push-button shifter, the door handles were too low, the chrome finish behind the rear windows peeled away from the vehicle. I honestly tried to get used to it all but after just under a year I admitted defeat and will never buy another Hyundai again. It was supposed to be the grown up version of a Kia, but I have never regretted getting rid of the Turbo Sportage more. I drove the Mazda off the lot with a huge sigh of relief and will never look back.
