Great review! Just what I was looking for. Plus everyone is reviewing the premium N line, which was useless to me. Thanks for reviewing the mid spec one!

I have just come across your channel and I have been pleasantly surprised the videos are excellent very informative, there’s no silly remarks or BS just interesting facts just what you need from a road test.
Keep them coming.
Watching from the UK

Just love the look of the new dash. Ordered my tucson in may, should be here in October.

Great review. Looking to buy the Premuim Hybrid very soon👍
Was told lead time is 2 to 3 months.

Brilliant review of the Tucson Hybrid! It's like watching a cheetah on Red Bull!

As fast as my older i30Nline. Pretty good.

Great review mate - cracking morning for a drive!

The PHEV retains 15% battery for Hybrid mode. Im curious to see how it balances the torque. Pickup my Ultimate PHEV AWD next week.

I’d say this is an improvement over the previous Tucson in terms of the knobs and buttons, but I’d always rather have physical buttons than a touch screen for climate controls. I like the setup better on the Kona.

Does the PHEV self charge? Does it always require to be charged by plugging it in? Thank you

[green]

That’s pretty fast for the weight and power specs

[robertvanempel]

Best and most honest review I’ve seen so far

[Donster]

Hey mate please do a review for BYD PHEV Sealion 6. Cheers

Tucson Hybrid drive train question. In the all wheel driver version, does the electric co-exist with the petrol to deliver drive to all four wheels, or is like the Rav-4 where the electric only powers the rear wheels? The Rav system, if I understand correctly, is flawed in that if the battery dies, you only have two wheel drive.

Bought the top spec Highlander diesel awd brand new a few months ago. I’d waited til I’d heard the specs of the hybrid facelift model before making the decision. Although the hybrid makes an extra 35kw, it’s down 66nm on torque which I think is more usable in a medium suv.
Also the hybrid gets the 6spd auto whereas the diesel got the better 8spd torque converter auto?
Yeah the hybrids fuel economy is a bit better but where I am in Sydney diesel can be 20-30¢ cheaper per litre.
I think if you can get a diesel Tucson runout deal that’d be the best buy, I got a demonstrator with 40km on it for $53k drive away with a runout deal and free on road costs.
Only thing I’d prefer from the facelift model is the new infotainment screen but not worth the extra ~$12k.

Anything like my 2023 current model Kona safety system drives you crazy on winding or poor roads ... simple fix cover the camera in the windscreen 👍

You have noise level db measurements for tuscon?

[gregj]

I wish manufacturers would offer 40/20/40 rear split?

[leonaceOfficial]

I hope for some dealers discounts for 2024 models when 2025 models are out

I purchased my Tucson last year… It was my choice between the RAV4… The beautiful sleek dash/ screen integration is what swayed me to the Tucson … They have now exchanged this unique style to a tacky dash that looks like a bath tray to store junk and the screen stuck on top is distracting… Om sad at this because I’ll be letting go of this car soon and will need to leave Tucson
