Sad to see it go! Hyundai Tucson 2022 long-term review | A good five-seat family SUV in 2023?

For several months, Tung Nguyen has been living with the Hyundai Tucson, and he already knows he and his family will miss it.

This long-term loan was in the top-spec Highlander N-Line diesel, which isn't cheap compared to many of its rivals (like the Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4), but has some other standout features that make it appealing for SUV buyers.

It has more style and presence than many of its competitors, for instance - especially with the optional N Line pack fitted, which makes it look assertive and sporty, but doesn't change the way it drives to any major degree.

With plenty of space, it was easily large enough for Tung's family of three (soon to be four), but watch the video to see if he thinks the diesel is the right choice or not. You might be surprised.

Sorry about the graphics issues in this video, people. They went half-screen for no apparent reason!

[DaniilBalkans-jhrw]

This is a beautiful car inside & out, even from the base model. Comfortable, luxury, refined, smooth drivetrain. Premium cabin & solid finish & build quality. The Korean Hyundai motor company deserves great accolades for their new Hyundai Tucson 👏. Great SUV & pricing.

After watching many videos of this model for the European market, I'm completely blown away by how different this Australian version is. All European trims come with a 1.6l engine and there is no 2.0l available. All trims have a digital driver display and the central console with no knobs or real buttons and a wireless Android Auto.

The compulsive need for a hybrids and a sunroof, seems more grounded in journalistic license, then actual requirements of the buying public.

Hi, would you chose the Hyundai Tucson hybrid, Kia Sportage hybrid or the Toyota RAV4 hybrid? Looking for an suv that will last 8-10 years. TIA

[Hansanaw]

Are you sure the apple car play is wireless on the 10inch screen?

[vrsr]

Did you compare the drive of the 1.6T variant in city drive conditions. If so was the trans smooth in the stop start conditions you get with inner city use? Have read mixed reports that the DCT is very hesitant or jerky when slowing to an almost complete stop and then accelerating off again .Any thought on that?

[shanegemmell]

Those annoying information graphics popping up and covering half the screen. 😡

[latinedwards]

Is it normal for the Tucson to use alot of gas when the engine is on but not driving

[jefroybrown]

I have respray my skid plate front and rear glass black to match the rest of glass black .

Thanks for your informative Hyundai Tuscan review. My second 'run around shopping' car is a bought new 2004 Getz and in that time it's only had 5 light bulbs and a new set of tyres. Hyundai reliability and I bought my other also a Hyundai. Thanks again.

The Tucson hybrids Nline has a better PWR than cx5 turbo on 87 octane, yet it’s only rated at7.7 0-60 stats show it should match cx5 and hit under 60! Give it the test.

[Tigers]

So when is the hybrid version coming. May as well go for the Santa fe

[YLDCRD]

How manly did you rack up on the diesel and did you run into any issues with the Tucson?

[nathsimpson]

I can't wait for mine! I have a 1.6L Highlander on order. Was supposed to be 6 months wait but pushed out to up to 9 months. I hope it arrives before my baby does! 😅

[noneya]

Can we please get the diesels here in the US!

[RallyLife]

I prefer this to the Sportage, however in base trim this is quite ugly. In terms of performance the Escape would blow this away. But in terms of interior quality it would not. I feel like Hyundai and Kia are more in touch with their buyers who are starting to want them to feel more premium.

[whatthe]

Well what is “best in class” for handling? Be nice to know. Anyone?

[cardinalnest]

I have the hybrid model (US market) and I plan to let go of it. Reason is the advertised mpg is not realistic and the car actual mpg is worse than a similar-sized suv, especially on the highway.

[keithnewton]

Less intrusive transmission tunnel compared to what not rav4 hybrid .
