2024 Hyundai Tucson Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Excessive Wind Noise
I bought a new Hyundai Tuscon XRT. The trim package rim is good, but you have to explore and get use to it. The cars gets pretty good milage at around 29 MPG Overall. It is comfortable to sit, but hard to enter and exit the vehicle due to the side running boards that extend out. Until you get use to it its uncomfortable. The big gripe that I have is the wind noise. It started after about 500-600 miles in. It is especially noisy on gusty windy days. I have read other reviews about this and alot come from ill fitting front doors. This is NOT that, it comes from the rear of the SUV. My wife's Caddy is not this noisy and it has 60k miles. I have taken it in twice to the dealer for service and a complaint about the excessive wind noise and nothing.. They keep it for a day to investigate and nothing. They will not go for a ride with me to find out what I am talking about (I kinda understand that) but after taking the car for a spin around the block they can't find it??? I will keep complaining and having them investigate. I can not recommend getting this car. It comes down to you get what you pay for. I REGRET buying this car.

Love this SEL w/ Convenience Package
Since I read these reviews extensively when researching cars, I’m hoping to pay it forward. I just bought a 2024 Tuscon SEL with the covenince package and I absolutely love it. I traded in my 2016 Santa Fe which was slowly starting to fall apart, and had terrible acceleration. I know that the reviews say this has sluggish acceleration, but I disagree, especially in sport mode. It’s got such responsive steering, is commanding in the millions of potholes in New England and rides curves with ease. I love the exterior style with the clean lines on the side. I also can tell the car has been designed for airflow on the outside so it doesn’t shake when I’m behind a huge 18 wheeler, and is pleasant when I have my windows down at high speeds. On that note, outside noise is minimal on the highway with the windows up, unlike the incredibly noisy and clunky RAV4 that I didn’t even take out of the parking lot on my test drive - it was already that noisy. The interior is also beautiful - the seats are extremely comfortable and the windshield is huge. I actually love the touch screen and the infotainment system - I just wish Apple Car Play was wireless. Having the touch screen system was a big deciding factor in considering this against the Mazda CX5 or CX50. I also love the digital odometer that comes with the convenience package. It doesn’t feel much less in space than the Santa Fe. I wanted something smaller, but that would still fit my children and tall husband. I miss a few of the fun features my Santa Fe had like the panoramic sunroof, memory seat recalls and the heated steering wheel, but I’m happy to give it up for a fun to drive, more reliable SUV, and the limited was a huge price jump. It’s a great car.

Best bang for the buck
I picked up a 2024 Tucson Limited with AWD. I was really thinking an end-of-year 2023, but the price discount wouldn't offset the extra depreciation. I traded in a 2021 Tucson Ultimate. Insurance is about $20 a month higher for the new model. I'm surprised how much larger the 2024 is. Specs say only 6 inches, but it seems to take up a lot more space in the garage. Tons of room in the back seats and under the hatch. The new dash is taking some getting used to, and the shift selector definitely demands attention, as opposed to just grabbing the stick from the older generation. The ride is more comfortable, and the acceleration is better than I expected. When I first picked it up, the detail team accidentally left it in snow mode, and I was concerned about the hesitation. Once I caught on and set it on normal, the acceleration was fine. Don't get me wrong, I certainly would have loved the turbo from the Santa Fe or Genesis, but you aren't cringing and shutting off the A/C to get to freeway speeds, even with notoriously short Oklahoma on-ramps. My main reason for stepping up from the older model were the memory seats (long overdue), the autopark, and the autostart on the key fob instead of a wonky app that you have to pay a subscription for. The seats are comfortable and the drive is much better than I expected - comfy but not soft. There's more body roll than in the older model, but it's not bad. The 8 speed auto transmission is more refined than the previous model's 6 speed. I really like Smart Mode on the improved AWD system. The armrest is slightly higher and a little more forward than the older model, much better for road trips. You can personally customize a lot of features, interior, driving, door locks, etc. My biggest gripe after a month of ownership is the totally useless and completely-in-the-way paddle shifts. I'm not sure what marketing groups pushed for these... how many drag races will you be in while getting groceries, running errands, and road trips ? The choice of trim pieces is, well, questionable. The Limited comes with the black chrome grill, but all the side pieces are silver or silvered chrome. You end up with seven or eight colors on the outside of the car, making for a really busy exterior. They should have either included all the dark trim from the XRT line, or just used the SEL's silvered chrome front grill. Come on Hyundai, pick one... one.... I mean one. I also considered the GMC Terrain, but wasn't fond of their 1.5L engine pulling 4,000 pounds of truck There wasn't much selection of Terrains and the prices are substantially higher ($5K-ish) for similar trim lines. I also looked at the Mazda CX-5, but the deals weren't there. I actually prefer the cleaner, more refined look of the Terrain and CX-5. In the end, I think the Tucson is the best overall product at the best price.

Fuel mileage
I brought the 2024 hybrid for fuel mileage and the window sticker state 37 mpg in city and 36 highway and I only been able to get 25 mpg to 27 I’ve taken it back to the dealership several times and have been told that I need to put 3 to 4 thousand miles on it and the fuel mileage will get better not sure if anyone else has had this issue but I’m very disappointed I only purchased the car for fuel economy that I’m not getting

Disappointed in mileage
I’m a big fan of Hyundai. Have had two previous and a Genesis. Now have an ionic 5 as well as the Tucson. Love the car but I can only squeeze out 30 mpg after some 2500 miles. Took it back to dealer but was told that’s not unusual in their experience. Seems like false advertising if that’s true. I always drive in Eco mode.
