Very good review! I bought a '22 Tucson Hybrid Limited a year and half ago. Just turned 24k miles on it and I've had zero problems. It's very comfortable, fun to drive, and it's sure-footedness in inclimate weather is very reassuring. It's the best car I've ever owned in my 40 years of car ownership. Tons of space, comfortable, lots of safety tech fur the money, industry leading warranty, and it looks good to! Stands out from the pack of look alikes
I chose this after test-driving the RAV4 and CR-V. No regrets...2023 and I just hit 41,000 miles (I have a courier business). About 95% city driving, and still on the original brakes and tires. Absolutely no problems, only had one service bulleting for a software update (free of charge). Meticulously maintained using only the best synthetic fluids and even the dealer maintenance prices are on par with independent garages. The Michelin tires that came with the car are now at about 50% and I'm getting some road noise, will consider a different brand on my next set. Great car, and comfortable driving as I'm behind the wheel 10-12 hours per day. The safety features are fantastic and have saved me from a few accidents; this is possibly why my insurance is cheaper on this car than my wife's 2019 Nissan Altima.
Just as a side note: The combination of the Electric motor and 1.6 Turbo produce 226Hp and 258 Lb ft of torque. The engine by itself produces 180HP and 195 Lb ft. Spunk is right! I own a 2022 Tucson SEL Hybrid. Great car! :)
Well, it varies a bit depending on how you drive, how much you use your Hvac, what mode you choose and what the outside temp is. My average is over 44 mpg in the summer driving 90% in town driving. Highway only at 70 mph is around the EPA 36. Combined runs around 38 with maybe 10% in town and 90% Hwy. In the winter my average is about 34 mpg. Again depending on how much you crank the heat, it has been 31-32 at worst. My record driving home from work with no traffic at 2:30am and 45 mph was 56.4 Mpg. Its fun making a game out of your driving! Sorry I was WAY late to answer your question!@@GamerplayerWT
Great review and stats!! I’ve been researching for a long time and I’m ready to find one when I return to the states. A great upgrade after our 22 yo Highlander with all the safety features!! Thanks!!
@@stefanbololoi7110 I'm getting about 30 Miles or 50 km on a single charge. I wish there was a heat pump because this time of year the engine runs at start up to heat the truck. And it will run for a good 5 mins before it shuts off. Not a deal breaker but something you should know, it can't run on EV alone, this time of year. Car Play is wired. If you do a lot of highway driving, I would look elsewhere. The mileage isn't great on the highway as it is a heavy vehicle. Get the regular hybrid as it will be better that way BUT if you are doing a lot of city and neighborhood driving, then this is the one you want.
Sam, if no one's told you already - you're an absolute stud. So handsome! (And of course, thanks for the review. You've convinced me this is more premium than both the RAV4 and the CR-V, despite the MPG hit.)
I'm deciding between a used '23 Tucson Hybrid with some extra features or a new '24. There's not a lot of used inventory in my area so I'm waiting a couple months. Thanks for the specifics...I'm definitely getting this instead of the RAV4 I test drove the other day!
Im looking to either get the Hyundai Hybrid or Honda CRV Hybrid...What would be your choice?..Both are good choices...I know on the video you choose the Hyundai
I might choose this over the Honda CR-V if it didn't have all that gloss black everywhere on the console, entertainment system and around the window buttons. I would go crazy trying to keep it wiped clean. The amount of gloss black is a deal breaker for me. Also I do prefer that the Honda has more comfortable seats, a regular gear shift lever and a non-turbo gas engine instead of a turbo.
I owned 2022 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate similar to 2023 limited edition. I'm not happy or satisfied with this vehicle, I would rather buy reliable Toyota RAV4 hybrid or Honda CRV hybrid.

What about gas mileage?

Very good review- I’ve been considering the Tucson for awhile now 😊
Sounds like a pretty good vehicle overall. Thanks for the review!
Great review and stats!! I’ve been researching for a long time and I’m ready to find one when I return to the states. A great upgrade after our 22 yo Highlander with all the safety features!! Thanks!!
Great video. I just subscribed. I bought the PHEV and love it. Thanks for the honest review.
What is the ev range you are getting? I’m considering the phev from Tucson ; Also the car play connection is wireless or wired?

Handsome man that likes cars and knows his S****
Yes daddy is aging well woof🥵
I want this car!

wanted to like it but in person that gloss black on the dash was awful. Dust magnet and finger print magnect. It also reflected the sun light
It looks good on the road too

What did you end up getting? I was lucky and found a used 23 Tucson Hybrid and bought it on Monday. I am loving it so far!
@antonetkruse7341 nothing yet will probably be a couple months
@@streetlifeinappleton oh haha I realized you originally wrote that. Well hopefully there will be something you love once you are ready!
Nice review ..Thanks..Whar part of Phoenix do you live...Looks like you were driving on Lincoln Ave area..
It was recorded in both downtown and the Biltmore area.
Im looking to either get the Hyundai Hybrid or Honda CRV Hybrid...What would be your choice?..Both are good choices...I know on the video you choose the Hyundai
That center stack is very frustrating to use while trying to drive
The rolling footage is making me homesick, Sam 😢 Like the Tucson but for that kind of money, I'd definitely buy a Venza hybrid.
Does it have memory drivers seat position?
Yes
I feel duped! That beefcake thumbnail is a thirst trap trick!!
I might choose this over the Honda CR-V if it didn't have all that gloss black everywhere on the console, entertainment system and around the window buttons.

Also I do prefer that the Honda has more comfortable seats, a regular gear shift lever and a non-turbo gas engine instead of a turbo.
2025 model --already released in Korea--fixes all the gloss black. Should be in the US maybe middle of next year.
Kind of disappointing gas mileage. Nice vehicle otherwise. Another great review. Thank you.
The transmission is CVT 😢? The company said it’s normal auto transmission not DCT or CVT !
It's not a CVT
He's so yummy!
Are those vinyl seats, seriously ? Hynudai and turbo - bad reliability mix LoL !
Good luck getting insurance.
