Nobody cares about spare tire anymore which is mind blowing to me. You can be left at the road just because a failed tire and that apparently don't bother anyone.

I sometimes despair at these reviews with reviewers constantly nit picking. I don't know what they are expecting. The manufactures must be so frustrated with ill informed inexperienced reviewers. Just get on and drive the bloody thing there are very few bad cars these days

After owning a top spec HEV for 15 months and 20k miles I can confirm this is a very nice car. I drove an Octavia before this, following a Passat and an Audi A4. The occasional BMW and Ford in the past. Never thought I would go Asian, let alone Korean. But this Tucson is just great. The off white interior, sun roof, ventilated seats and driving experience are among the highlights. The looks too, but that might be subjective. The HEV combo works fluid and the cars has lots of reserves, even on steep hills.
Downsides: stupid assists that are ON by default and have to be set OFF with every drive. Lane keeping is the most annoying. Adaptive CC is also bad, the shortest distance is still too long for overtaking without blocking faster cars. I found the solution by just hitting the throttle when the system thinks it has to slow down. But that should not be needed. And the Sports mode is terrible. It changes the predictable car into a nervous jumpy dog without really gaining much in performance. Easy solution: leave it off. 😜

I can definitely recommend the Tucson HEV.

Great reviews, OSV. You are the best online resource!

I have an Ultimate full hybrid as featured in this review and don’t agree that it can be hesitant from standing. I have only ever had it in Eco mode and as you generally take off using the EV motor, it bolts from standstill like poo off a shovel. It’s a stealth assassin at traffic lights because you just have it stopped on auto hold and then press the accelerator when the lights go green and the other cars are suddenly dots in the rear view mirror. It gets to 62 in 8 seconds, but because of the huge instant torque of the hybrid system it feels much much faster than that. Quickest car I’ve ever had, despite being easily the heaviest as well.

4:46 Yes there is a dedicated space for the tonneau cover. Also, the Krell audio has nine speakers, not eight. Other than this, good review 👍

I can't agree with that it's not that engaging for driving. I have had a several occasions driving it for fun on some curvy back roads and I can say it can be quite fun to drive fast on the corners. That was one of the big selling points, after I have test driven almost all the rivals in that category. After I tested the Tucson, I was really surprised how it handles in such situations.

That's not Teal it's Amazon grey. Great review.

[paulsuddes]

I don’t think that’s Teal colour. I reckon it’s Amazon grey

[kironkoshy]

[iainsallotment-plot]

Got a ultimate in teal on order for February/March thank you for wetting my appetite

[justmejustme]

Excellent review thank you. Some corrections on your stats though. The normal hybrid has 228hp and 350 NM.

Very informative video, I get my new one in June, really looking fwd to it, clever people the Koreans!! This will be my 1st hyundai in over 30yrs of driving.

I take it that the prices you quote are NOT on-the-road, therefore VAT and delivery will push the prices north of £35K. Great review though, I have a N Line S on order, due back end of August.

[radumoto]

Nice and good details review. Good job.
Could anybody tell me what are the dimensions (cm) of the padded plywood in the trunk and the height til the flexible curtain from the trunk? I want to have an ideea of real space in the trunk. Best to all!
