2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Step up to Premium Quality
This is my third Hyundai and it is the best of the bunch. The new features are fantastic. I especially love the blind spot camera, the control panel and the automatic lift gate. Great SUV to drive, comfortable seats and a roomy passenger area. Top Shelf all the way!

Quiet and comfortable.
I really love this SUV. It's very smooth and comfortable to drive. I don't think it gets enough credit for how quiet it is. The sound system is really good for the base model too. My only complaint is that I wish it was a bit more efficient for a hybrid. I'm getting an average of 35 mpg for mixed driving. It's good but could be better. I've had this SUV for 1.5 years and I'm always reminded how much I like driving it when I drive anything else.

Sweet so far
Drives brilliantly - plenty of power for highway passing and pulling out from a stop. Amazing hybrid system is ultra-smooth, efficient and effective with such smart shifting that paddle shifters are superfluous. Drive modes are great - Eco for normal use or Smart, which is brilliant, for a little faster response; Sport is a little edgy with quick throttle and shift responses and a little heavier steering effort. Sophisticated computer-aided handling is remarkable, like "riding on rails" with minimal body roll for an SUV. Braking is pretty good, although not perfectly smooth in combining mechanical brakes with regenerative braking. Efficiency is outstanding at 40 MPH and below, where it's pretty easy to get 40MPG+ in the city or country or suburbs. At 65 MPH, you won't do much better than 30 MPG, as air resistance for the big body becomes an issue and higher speeds will hurt MPG. You can expect about 35 or 36 MPG in very mixed driving overall. Sport mode seems to cost several MPG without aggressive driving, but Smart mode should be fine for milage. Premium gas isn't required and doesn't seem to help milage, so regular gas helps keep costs down. Tech driving aids are excellent and can help reduce fatigue but need some study of user manual if you're coming from an older generation of cars, and you have to be aware that they may or may not work, depending on changing circumstances (e.g. lane-keeping can switch on and off as road lines and conditions change). Adaptive cruise control is outstanding. There's an oddity if you leave the car unused for too long where a battery discharges and you have to manually open the door with a key (which is a trick in itself) and push a battery reset button to get the car to work. I haven't managed to get the seating position completely comfortable, although the seats are good with 6-way power adjustment, which is a big help - but the steering wheel doesn't telescope back as far as I'd like, and the seat back has more shoulder bolster shove than I'd like. I wish I'd tried out the N Line, which has different seats with more side bolster. All in all, though, this is an absolutely brilliant vehicle with remarkable, effective engineering in a very attractive package designed to do everything well. If you want more efficiency/MPG, it will come at the cost of space, ground clearance, or responsiveness.

No Spare Tire
I recently purchased the Tucson hybrid, a great vehicle with one glaring problem. There is no spare tire, not even a "doughnut." I only found out by looking for it. This is unacceptable, especially in a rural area like New Mexico. The dealer did not have an optional tire. I bought a full-size tire and rim. It drives well, has good gas mileage, and has comfortable seating. The Edmunds review was spot on.

tuscon has very dangerous situation with headlight
On the drivers side with dim on there is a dark shadow on the road in front of the vehicle that impedes visibility a lot. It is even worse when turning or driving on a hill. It does not stay still and moves on the road and is very dangerous!
