Still fantastic after 45,000 miles and 2 years

By Rod Grodt written on 01-29-2016

Completely re-designed for 2016. The Tucson looks great. The 1.6 turbo with the dual-clutch transmission has terrific performance, especially when accelerating in second and third gears. There is enough to pass in a hurry in Interstate driving. Our gas mileage has greatly exceeded the manufacturer's figures. We get 31-34 combined and normally between 34-38 on the highway between 70-75 miles per-hour. We topped 40 on one occasion. The car is quiet, handles well and the seats are extremely comfortable for trips. They are firm and the lumbar support works well. Cargo space is almost as much as was on the 2012 Santa Fe we traded in. This is our fifth Hyundai and we have never had any problems with any of them. We had a great dealer where we bought and serviced the car in North Carolina and are fortunate that the dealership in Orange Park, Florida, where we have been for a year, is just as good. We have never had a bad experience at any Hyundai dealership. The 2017 and 2018 Tucsons with the 1.6 turbo are basically the same as our 2016, so what we've experienced with ours should carry over to the new ones.

Unsafe acceleration from dead stop

By ProfessorPlumb written on 12-28-2015

As Rusty_Blades has stated in an earlier review (and I've replied to the same), My Tucson as delivered has an issue with acceleration from a dead-stop that is both annoying an potentially dangerous. I've only had the car less than a week and haven't been able to talk to service about this yet, so hopefully there is now a fix, I'll update this review when I find out. The problem is that the car starts to accelerate on its own as soon as you take your foot off the pedal, this seemed a bit odd when I test drove it, but I was so impressed with it's performance as highway speed that I purchased it just the same. I wish I had taken Rusty's advice and tried to parallel park it during the test drive. When I tried this a day after I purchased it the buyers remorse really started to kick-in hard. I'm sure Hyundai will come up for a fix for this if they haven't already, but until I can get this fixed this stays at a 2-star review. My other main beef with this car is that the head rest can't be adjusted far enough back for my comfort, I may have to take it apart and try to come up with a way of further adjusting it. Otherwise, I think I'd be super happy with this car, it is very quiet, smooth as silk at highway speed, and Peppy with a capital P. 1/11/18 Update: Increased rating to 3-stars, probably doesn't deserve it, but 2-stars seemed too severe. The programming on the transmission for this car is still a mess. Although Hyundai issued a recall for reprogramming, I find the new programming to actually be worse than the original. The car lurches a little less, but the engagement in reverse is even worse than it was before--makes parallel parking interesting, especially when facing down hill. Additionally, every time I take this car in to be serviced it seems like I get it back with a new issue: 1. First Service, came back with and odd popping noise that would occur (1-time) shortly after putting the transmission under load. 2. Second service reprogram of Trans. made low speed engagement worse and fuel economy dropped 1-2 mpg. 3a. Third service, which (supposedly included changing the cabin air filter), has made the car smell awful when humid--very strange. 3b. Car has developed a strange "oil canning" noise perhaps from the fuel tank, as if the tank is under a slight vacuum while driving and then restores it's shape when I shut down the engine. I have yet to crawl under the car to see if this is the case.

LAG is terrible and fuel mileage NOT even close

By Chaz written on 07-14-2016

The lag when you accelerate is not only annoying but DANGEROUS. Several times I have tried to pull out into traffic where I really needed to pick up speed quickly. Hit the gas and the car sits there for a few seconds.....and THEN darts out into traffic when you have another vehicle coming up on you. Also, forget about using the ECO or even regular setting. If you want any pep AT ALL, plan on having it in Sport mode all the time. And even then you aren't getting much. Fuel economy not even close to what they say. The most I have gotten in city is 17 mpg and it has been as low as 12.....yes 12!!!! This will be my last Hyundai.
