I was breakin my neck checkin out a Hyundai SUV today on the freeway. Mighty impressive.
Another great review 👍
They really have upped their game!
My dad had one of these when they first released.. I really liked the way it looked especially with the BBS rims. Sporty & sleek, big sunroof, the vehicle felt really good quality. Then he traded it for a GMC Sierra lol we still have that truck and love it to death but there are times where I miss the Tucson so I come back to this review.
We love our Night Edition Tuscon. It's nice to stand out a little, we haven't seen any others around town. I wish leather was an option in the Night edition and the fuel economy has been a little disappointing considering the lack of power coming from the motor. Overall, I think its a great value. I think Hyundai is really putting out some good vehicles for the price
Great review. I agree they should offer upgraded seating material for an upcharge at least. Love the look of the truck though, I think I may move from my Accord to one of these soon.
Nice review as always man, you are so right about the seats for the prics and i think is a little blend for the price , thanks again for the review man 👍🏼
Thank you for letting em share this one with you! I appreciate you sharing your input!
Another great review Joe! This one may make the short list for my next ride. Im a little concerned on the ground clearance for New England winters though.
I am so glad that I could share it with you Greg!
Love the Tucson night edition. Great job on presentation.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for letting me share it with you!
Another excellent presentation Joe!!! The Tucson won’t attract many gals but you get pretty good value for your money.
Thank you Louis for taking the time to go through so many of my reviews. You do get a lot for the money.
Amazing review Joe absolutely loved the Tucson and of course the review. Also maybe 1 day u could show us a Cadillac Escalade Platinum all black including wheels and everything!!😁. Thanks Joe.
I should be getting some Cadillacs soon! Stay tuned!
Great to hear that Joe I'm glad. Any Cadillac will do. Sedans, SUV'S, anything. Thanks Joe.
@@JayPatel-tx1zc You are so very welcome!
Sweet looking Hyundai! Very nice review! Thumbs up!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Thanks Joe! Thorough and informative review. Question - how tall are you? I'm 6'4" and i'm wondering if the Tuscon Night will accommodate a taller frame.
Thanks Joshua for saying that! I am 6' tall so I think there is still plenty of room with the right seat adjustments!
Sooooo, I think I am flying to Tampa from Atlanta to buy a red one.
Thanks so much for the tour.
I own a 2019 white night edition and I love it. You forgot to mention the wireless charging in the tray.
Thanks for that extra info! I am so glad that you are happy with your Tucson!
19 model is solid one, but it's showing its age with exterior, interior and trim features. 2020 is gonna be another challenger since its platform will be used for upcoming Hyundai Pickup Truck suppose coming in late 2020, Kia's Pickup truck also coming in the same year.
It's nice. I love my 2017 Night Edition Tucson. I think it's worth the money.
Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
What would you say is better, Honda CR-V or this one?
What colour is that tucson joe, love your content
Nice review as always,keep the good work Joe
That really means a lot!
I think we all need to take a minute and thank Joe for taking the time to read our comments on every single video. He really takes the time to show his appreciation to his subscribers/viewers. It’s quite obvious how hard he and his team are working to get these videos out there. Very professional and presentable. Again, nice reviews and keep them coming! I will say that the 1.6T in the previous generation Tucson will be missed. Dual clutch transmissions are more rough than a conventional transmission and the older customer base didn’t like that and thought there was something wrong when there wasn’t. I had a 2017 Tucson Sport 1.6T loaner once and the transmission acted just like my 07 VW GTI DSG. It’s what gives the car it’s character. The 1.6T also has less GDI problems than the 2.4. Hyundai and Kia had some major issues with the original 2.4 from 2011-2016 and I’m not completely sure they’ve corrected the problems 100%. They should have kept the 1.6T, but switched to a conventional 6 or 8-speed automatic!
Wow Tom that is so awesome of you to say! I really appreciate your support and thank you for sharing your great input about this Tucson!
Tom Dolgin, IMO, I think Hyundai will likely sell more Tucsons since they lack CVT, DCT & turbos. This is probably why they went this route. The public is becoming more informed of DCT issues (Ford Hyundai) as well as CVTs (Nissan Jatco). IMO, the Tucson looks so much nicer than competition from Toyota, Honda, Nissan.
I gotta ask...what's with the need or want of a "frameless" rear view mirror? What are you going to do with the buttons that surround the mirror for SOS, Homelink garage door opener, etc. if you put in a frameless mirror?
It makes it less bulky and clears up you line of sight out the windshield. The buttons are built into the bottom of the mirror!
Ha! I was hoping you would make a video on this!
I am glad that I could make it happen for you!
Very good review!
That is really awesome of you to say!
im from canada so we dont get the night edition here. i just checked the US website and i agree with your points, it doesnt do nearly enough to justify its price and name (night edition). the exterior looks AMAZING but the interior is no different than normal tucsons and doesnt even have leather seats :(. i still love this car though. looks amazing inside and out overall.
Thanks for sharing your great input! I really appreciate you watching!
The Tucsons of this generation did not feature a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. But the sport mode makes up for it.
Front wheel drive??? My wifes' has that + RWD, I didnt know they made them 2WD, but you are in FL
Love your videos keep up the great content 👍👍
That is so awesome of you to say!
Great presentation sir
Thanks for saying that!
Great review. I have a 2017 Night Edition, which does have the turbo in it that you mentioned you wish this had. Also, being up in New England, it does have the AWD.
Thanks for letting me share it with you Keith!
When' are the Raitis workout videos coming out? Looking good
That is really nice of your to say!
I thought it has wireless charger -did you miss that?
Just a note, again I own the 2019 Tucson limited, I had the computer screen go out at least 20 times so far you're just driving along and it goes out I have not taken into the dealer, I'm sure it will get fixed, It's just that it's a hassle to take it in when it's a brand new vehicle
I am so sorry to hear about that! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Should be taking it in right away. If it's a lemon you have to document the # of times you take it in. Sooner the better.
The system is probably wanting to drink from the update well. My 2017 Santa Fe did the same thing, but recovered well after installing the update.
Love watching your reviews! ZONK!
Thanks for letting me share them with you!
Thanks a bunch. 💚
Is this also available in Canada? I am curous, because I have not seen it by the dealers here.
I believe so!
Thanks Alot. Do 1 with the Creta and Compare the Santa Fe with competitors.
I will get that together for you!
Car looked great until I noticed there are no hood struts. Why would they cheap out on hood struts? My wife’s old 2003 Honda Accord had hood struts.
I feel your pain!
I have owned two Hyundai cars and one KIA. My 2011 Elantra was ahead of it's time in styling. In fact many of the other manufactures started to copy many of the style lines of the Elantra. This Tucson is a great looking car and I am sure very useful. My 2015 KIA Sportage was a very useful and properly sized SUV for our family. It also had good styling.
Unfortunately , although the styling of Hyundai and KIA is always improving it seems that the quality of the mechanics has taken a major step backwards. Our 2009 Hyundai Sonata was top quality and above the competition. The 2011 Elantra had great styling, but it seemed that some of the quality started to slip. When it was time to move to a SUV because of easier access to the interior, we looked at the Tucson and Sportage. The Sportage had a little better door clearance for the leg swing. We did not hesitate, we stayed with the Hyundai and KIA line.
Our 2015 Sportage went into the dealer for a computer engine management software update and also a slight tick noise during the initial start up process. This was back in October of 2018. It is my guess it is still behind the shop waiting for a replacement engine. This was one of the million engine recalls. Fortunate for us, the good dealer purchased our Sportage (at a major loss for us) at the end of December when we knew the earliest we could expect the engine would be in March.
Now, Hyundai and KIA make great looking cars and I did love all of mine until it sat in back of the dealer's shop for months.
Take away - Styling and options are great, but do look into the quality issues and how Hyundai and KIA are handling them.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Sir any updates on Hyundai hybrid suv coming to the market anywhere soon ?
Nothing yet John.
Does anyone know how well does the panoramic sunroof block UV rays?
Good question!
Joe I would like to see if the vehicule have spare tire or fix a flat in the revues
.
I will add that in! Thanks for the feedback!
Full size spare. I own a 2017 1.6t Limited
Where is paddle shifter
Igor!? Bless his heart.
Raiti don’t skip leg day for real!
Thanks for noticing Kyle!
I have Tucson Turbo giving hell out power and mix with remap the ECU that’s why I prefer with Turbocharged and giving more power.
Thanks for sharing that!
Hyundai is a GREAT tuning car. I did it with my sonata and now my Tucson and it performs A LOT BETTER!!
Wheels so big brakes so small. Did anyone see metal in the engine bay?
Did he say that hyundai isn't using any DCT transmission? As far as I know, they have a lot of them out there.
Not at all, I said CVT. Thanks for watching1
Is there a way to stop the lights from flashing when you Autostart??? Quite annoying. Any help would be SUPER appreciated!! I just bought a Night addition and LOVE IT!! (but not the flashing lights that come on when using autostart). Thanks, Todd.
Idk what car to get I’m debating between a Mazda CX-5 or this Tuscan night edition. Which is the better choice??!!! 😩
Both 2019
I would go CX-5
friends mom got n line 177ps petrol auto 1.6 today uk based
nice to drive!!!!!!
Nice wheels ! I like it
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
U know what that's a lot of money for a car like that. I have a brand new 2019 Camaro 1LT i paid $28,500 . Is a great car on gas ut i find it s lot of money for a small car with 4 cylinder. I yust to have one bach in the day, but they were cheap. But everything change .specially with today's technology. Thanks for the video. Have a safe one . Take care. Be Bless
Thanks for sharing that great input William!
I didn’t know bbs was still in business
It looks really good, some dealers in my area want more for the night than the ultimate which has way less features lol. I'll wait for a sale that's $5k or more off. Shame hyundai can't give it at least 200hp and 200 pft, it doesn't need to be a fast car its just lacking in power and get up thats my only complaint about the tucson
Matt Man they are coming out with an N version of the Tucson with like 340hp so stay tuned for that!
Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
@@Mohankeneh Now that would make for a fun Tucson!
Great Review!
I bought the 2019 Night Edition (white) and absolutely love it! Except for the 2.4L, though. However, I had the 2017 Night Edition w/1.6Turbo but I have to tell you guys, that turbo/tranny combination came with problems. There was always a 2-3 second lag between stepping on the gas from a full stop or rolling slowly to the car actually taking off. It's a bit of a problem when you're turning to cross traffic and takes some getting used to. With the 2.4L, that problem has gone completely away. No lag and the car moves forward when I step on the gas. With that being said, I still wish they would have added more HP to this. I mean, the 2.4L is OK, but it certainly leaves you wanting more, especially on a model called the "Night" edition which is implying performance.
Also, the 2019 Night Edition comes with a TON more safety/convenience features than my 2017 Night Edition. And the only thing you're missing on the Night vs Ultimate is:
* Surround View Mirror
* High Beam Assist
* Side Mirrors w/Turn Signal
* Leather Seats
* Power Passenger Seats
* Ventilated Front Seats (whatever that is)
* Heated Rear Seats
* 8" Touch Screen (as opposed to 7")
* Rain Sensing Wipers
* Heated Steering Wheel
* 4.2" Display Gauge (as opposed to 3.5")
That's it. Otherwise you get everything the Ultimate has (including panoramic sunroof) but with a much sleeker and cooler look. To me, that was worth the trade-off between the Night and Ultimate. Most of those "extra" features on the Ultimate aren't that great and/or necessary, IMO. You can compare the FULL specs on each trim type here: www.hyundaiusa.com/tucson/specifications.aspx.
However, when that Tuscon N line w/340HP shows up in the US in another year or two (www.motor1.com/news/303607/hyundai-tucson-n-rumor/), I will definitely be trading this one in and getting that. My only concern with the N line is that they might remove a ton of the safety/convenience features for the performance. Not sure if I want to trade all that in for a bigger engine, but we'll see. Price will also play a major role. If they're going to ask 40K or more for it then no way, I'll keep my Night edition.
31,600 USD for this?? Are you sure it's a good buy in this price range? For this price, I can get a Subaru Forester Sport with better ground clearance, better off road ability, better driving, roomier cabin and bigger trunk space, better and more comfortable seats, much sturdier interior build quality.
I don't know why exactly would one take this over a Forester sport or even a middle trim Santa Fe
Is the night edition all wheel drive
Yes. Just picked one up.
It’s a nice looking car and I agree this car should have a turbo in it, it looks better than the Santa Fe edition. It be a real contender if they had more ponies. Hyundai appears to just focus on making non performance models for their main brand and leave the fast and fun stuff for Genesis these days.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective.
I would get this if they come out with N version.
They say it is coming!
N Line is coming soon, not sure about pure N version though.
That one would be 41k
Nice looking but with the “zonks”, not special enough. Santa Fe Special Edition? That would be better I’m sure. Good job Joe and thanks for the nice compliment to my comment. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏼🇺🇸
Thanks for your great points Frank!

@@LS1007 LMAO! I was tired yesterday! lol Sorry Larry!
Raiti's Rides 👍🏻
Why do people not like cvt's ? I thought they are good with gas milage
It ruins the driving experience!
I just wanna know the quality & reliability of Hyundai. Are they like Toyota's & Honda's?
Well , if you hate your hard earned money Hyundai is your dream car .....hehehehe
Just traded in my 2015 Sonata with 278,000 miles for a 2020 Tucson. There was an engine problem at 186000 but Hyundai took care of it. Other than that, I had no major issues; I never had a problem with the transmission.
To get this vehicle to move you have to floor it and when I say floor it I mean pedal to the metal. It doesn't take long for you to realize that the vehicle is simply under powered,,
I am sorry you bought the wrong vehicle.
Is this car sub 4 meter compact xuv??
That is a great question!
@@RaitisRides tell me please
Is it fast?? Might be getting this on Friday..
Nope
King, did you get yours yet?
Wow this one looks really nice. Kia and Hyundai have been making really good looking cars now. Better than Honda
The wheels really make the exterior of this Tucson!
What is the colour?
Grey
Maybe they will add the bed of nails edition
Nice car I get already I love it
Are they making a night edition for 2020?
I do not believe so!
Raiti's Rides :(
Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Toyota, Honda and Lincoln are all killing it in the exterior and interior styling department! 😍
Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I like the exterior design but that's it! Joe, see if you can get your hands on a Kia Sportage SX, will yah?
I will try to track one down for you!
Does this do start stop?
No it does not.
Thanks!
Don't let the dealer fool you into thinking they make no money, they make at least 6000 if sold at MSRP
Thanks for that info1
Not a big fan of Tucson but I have to admit this trim with this color option definitely looks good
I dunno Joe... Ford's new escape has 250+ HP for probably the same price or less.... I'm getting sick and tired of manufacturers charging 30k+ dollars for polished turds. If this thing had Ford escape Numbers!? I'm down! I actually love the styling of this Tucson over the new escape.
I think you are bringing up some great points!
I’m starting to think the same way the last couple of years! I just bought a 2019 VW Tiguan SE and all Tiguans have a single engine option... a 2.0 Turbo. And yes it’s a bit lethargic off the line. I would probably be 95% happy if the Tiguan had a more powerful V6. The fuel economy isn’t great. It retailed for $28,110. If it weren’t for the large discount from VW Dealers I would not have given the Tiguan a chance. The manufacturers are jamming so much safety technology in them I suppose it’s driving prices up. I drove them all, Tucson (which I liked), the CR-V & Rav-4 and a few others under $40k. No regrets on my Tiguan. The Tucson would have been acceptable to me as well.
I gotta get my credit up to 850 👍😎🔥❤
You can do it!
nice engine note for what it is tbh.
I am so glad that you liked this one!
It's a Hyundai, ZONK
But, are they 5x100 rims? Bc I'd like em on my gc8
Wish it had the turbo motor? Swap time!!!
You are tough to please! ;-)
@@RaitisRides subie fanboy. July 21, joliet, Southside Chicago , all Subaru show
@@MidwestDankAlumni I wish I could make that! I have to save my travel money for SEMA & LA Auto Show
@@RaitisRides I wish you'd be there too.
Come on maaaan!
It needs a bit more punch in hp and torque
AGREED!
I was looking for reviews of the Tuscan night and you just dropped a review LOL... the awd fuel economy is a bit low smh.
It was serendipity!
Nice Tucson but no GPS or leather seats for that price 🤔🤔
It has a navi system and car play. Leather seats are an option but come on higher spec models.
This or the RAV4?
I'm currently debating this! Going this weekend to test drive both :)
Tucson!! Proud owner of a 2017 1.6t limited and I LOVE it!! It takes some time to get used to the duel clutch transmission though since it does act more like a manual amd it's my first 7 speed car... It's a fun drive though and pretty to look at 😊
Might be cool if you had the Raiti Awards for cars in certain categories and price points.
That is a great idea! I will have to put something like that!
@@RaitisRides Makes you an authority and something to strive for if not manufacturers, but at least consumers can take it seriously.
Im going to zonk the “Bed of Nailz edition”
To each their own! lol ;-)
WOW...factory BBS rims!
Yes sir!
I remember back in 2013-14, EVERY automotive youtuber and commenter said the murdered out fad was dead. 2019 and everybody has a "midnight", "carbon", "night", "blackout", or "altitude" edition lol
What does murdered out mean?
@@shadowjago1015 Blacked out top to bottom
You are so very right!
@@shadowjago1015 Ever surface is black.
@@hfr8343 Thanks for replying!
Did Hyundai ever fix the transmission issues people are having with this Tucson?
Yes!
@@RaitisRides How come people that own a 2018 are still complaining about it?
I love ur reviews - but its Hyundai, like Sunday.
Thanks for the compliment and for the info.
Over $30k and no leather seats? No turbo or V6? No sir.
So tell us which car in this same price range appeals to people with no brains.
And not good resale value. Buy Honda or Toyota, Mazda instead.
I totally get where you are coming from!
@@spursdynasty7378 the resale is fine....and every soccer mom has a honda or toyota, thanks but no thanks....love the look of the tucson but 181hp is barely enough for a compact car, it definitely needs more power
I wanna talk again about the dealers, do not under any circumstances let them push you around, I bought my 2019 Tucson limited from Carson City Hyundai, the salesman said they don't make commission, but when I spoke to the sales manager, the top guy, he said Hey I can't sell you that car for that price because I have to pay my salesman a commission, They can't get there story right, honestly speaking Carson City Hyundai is literally run like a boiler Room operation, The sick thing is I actually bought a vehicle from these idiots, For the price you'll pay for this vehicle you can do better looking at other manufactures,
Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

Front looks worst than previous generation imho. Same thing with new Passat from VW. Still a good looking car, tho.
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
If you do decide to buy this car do not pay more then 28000 period
Great advice!
I agree, I found one on the lot where I work for 28,769 but Im sure the dealer will get it out of here for 28k they didn't even know they had it in stock since there are so few left.
Hyundai needs to stop teadering on the border of performance and simple just bring the n edition ful blown and stop fooling around lets get that 275 hp n motorr until.then its going to be overlooked especially with bmw and audi rt around the corner!!!’ Good review joe take care’nn
OMG! Took the words out of my mouth. What I see what's going on is... Manufacturers are making a form of luxury without a HP boost to price hike... Special editions should always have a HP boost. 200-210 HP would totally sell me on this but! The the new Ford escape Eco boost has a 250+ HP...... Probably for around the same price.
gentlemen begga exActly brother they think we are stupid they add a little trim and some fancy grille inserts and then jack the price up with no performance gains at all!!!!
Excellent points! Thanks for the compliment!
@@renemartinez2744 I totally agree with!
@@cbruno12180 Hit the nail on the head!
If we started at 100 points there are 75 points of negatives and only 25 points of positives so you do the math, I own this vehicle for 3000 miles as of this post, I am almost going to sell this car and take a $6000 loss just to get out of it. seriously.
I feel your pain.
If you decide to buy this vehicle you need to Find the steepest grade you can drive up, what you're gonna see is the truck struggles on steep grades, It's a dog not worth more than 28000 or less
Thanks for that info.
Looks like the Ford Edge ST
I totally see it now!
Reminds me of the original Ford Edge. I just bought my Tucson today.
It seems faster then the 1.5L Crv
It may be Luis.
Wait 6 speed ? 😂 wait what year are we in ?
The lower trim models with the 2.0 natrual aspiration engine have a 6 speed. The higher spec 1.6t have 7 speed 🤙
Do you ever signal your lane changes/turns? (maybe when a cop is behind you?) C'mon, it's free..it's courteous, and oh yeah, it's the frickin law!
Thanks for the feedback! I will focus a little more on it. Thanks for watching!
