Interior noise was my biggest gripe with my Palisade. Hyundai interiors and tech totally won me over through. My lease is up and I'm seriously taking a look at the Tucson. Thanks for sharing.
No one is innovative with tech and style as Hyundai and KIA! Never cease to amaze me on how far they come and where they're taking us. This Tuscon looks like the car of the future. When other brands can't, Hyundai/KIA and Genesis say we CAN!
My huyndai 2013 sonata transmission just died. I thought I was going to have to buy another car since cars are expensive. Well, I was able to buy a new transmission for under $200. As much hate huyndai get. I think im sticking to them since they really cheap to fix
@@jraheemjefcoat429 only tacoma v6 engines were having these issues bro. but toyota rectifies their mistakes immediately. unline hyundai with rectifying them carrying the same shit engine for decades. fooling people.
Fact is No other car companies gives this much technology and features in this price range and Hyundai and Kia got great comfortable vehicles ❤ I got wondered by after seeing new interior of Elantra.
I have a 2023 Tucson Limited in silver like the test vehicle and I'm struggling to notice any appreciable difference in the exterior of the 2025. As far as the interior goes I like the new one, but the previous still looks very current compared to the competition. I do like the new screen compared to mine. Looks a lot better. I really like my Tucson. Solid, no squeaks or rattles, quiet, comfortable, decent MPG. It's too new still to comment on reliability. Hope it's good.
Why are Turn Signals so low in the bumper? This is a safety concern. Drivers are not looking for them down there. They are looking at the brake lights.
So they can be broken more easily in urban traffic and parking! And then you will be forced to spend $$$ to repair it, otherwise you won't pass inspection.
hyundai/kia made a wave in the suv/sedan car market and forced toyota, honda, nissan, ford, chevy, VW, to up their game. Appreciate that the mainstream vehicles are finally getting the love they deserve!
Hyundai continues to kill it when it comes to the parts bin. They're integrating a lot of their same tech, across multiple products across their lineup, which makes it so nice. I love my '24 Santa Fe Hybrid, and seeing this vehicle, it's nice to see all the shared tech, yet the others in VW, Toyota, the Big 3, just don't do this, and it shows in their sales figures. Great video guys.
The majority of the line, is under 40k, in the best sellers are all under 35k. Keep the car for 9 years-11 months 99k miles, and traded in for $5,000 towards a new car.
It has probably the best interior in the class, but the spotty reliability of Hyundai makes this a tough choice for me. The warranty might ease some of those concerns, but after 100k, idk how this would hold up compared to a Rav4 or CR-V.
hyundai is making great cars, if they can just figure out the reliability issue. heard from some mechanics that so many hyundai cars are needing engine replacement that they are on back order. so even with warranty you will need to wait for months and have another cars until your hyundai is getting fixed. far from ideal.
Much better compared to the 24 model, still salty that they still didn’t do the new design on the palisade. The only thing that would make this vehicle better is if it had LED turn signals in the rear
I took one for a test drive. It rides well and handles ok. However, it failed the speed bump test. Yikes! Maybe it was the tires. Don't know but it was bad. Lots of tech. And very roomy inside. I'm waiting for 2026. Hoping for a Santa Fe style redesign.
Purse storage should be part of every interior car review, do we have to twist our shoulder to get it off the gross floor or do the headrests leave space to add a purse hook, or does that car actually have space in the console for one?
Why Why is there no way to turn off the “consider taking a break “ Notification? I have a 2025 Tucson and I’m considering returning it for a car that doesn’t beep at me because it’s windy or there’s too much construction with uneven lanes. Do not buy Hyundai until they allow you to turn off all these nagging and distracting erroneous notifications. Thank you, Hyundai for ruining my new car experience.
I legit can’t decided between this and the 2024 Le hybrid RAV 4. Will this vehicle last nearly as long? I like everything about the Tucson more but I’ll probably BIFL.
Finally That button shift changer is gone I am so happy . but I still don’t like rear indicators on bumper . Why ?? When do they change their engine for hybrid .
Much needed and successful facelift that takes it back to being the segment leader. Shocking that the older RAV4 has still not been updated while this has, as a newer model. Still undercuts the RAV4 by 2000 when both are fully kitted out, while offering much more in every way.
Hi, does anyone have experience with how light leathers will perform? I don't know whether to get dark Alcantara or light leathers. I'm afraid of getting the leather dirty and stained from the trousers. Can you advise something?
Personally, we prefer the Santa Fe design and size. But if you don't need the extra space, the Tucson gets you more efficiency and the same features for less money.
I am interested in the 2025 (facelift) N-Line Hybrid. So if you are going to do another video after Sept. 4, 2024, please explain what are the things that the N-Line Hybrid doesn't have and the Limited Hybrid has. Another words, what will I get for about $3,000 extra (above the N-line price) to buy a Limited Hybrid. A features comparison between two upper line Hybrids, N-Line vs. Limited. Thanks
I'm really disappointed! I appreciate the storage but the 2024 interior is much better looking by quite a bit. They really put some love into the slickness of the tones and textures.
I have been waiting for the Tucson hybrid limited AWD exterior color blue. Why is Blue so hard to find in this configuration? The dealers are having a hard time getting blue. I am in the Ventura CA area.
I drove the 2024 for a road trip and very surprised with the space however the power train and lack of pep on the engine were very surprising. I would find this hard to be my everyday vehicle.
@@Icy233 The car is not peppy. That means it is slow and sluggish. I agree, I have a 2024 Tucson as a loaner while my Santa Fe is getting repairs, and the Tucson is slow, slow, slow.
@@mikevaquero3766 The 2025 base non hybred model is zero to 60 in 8.5 second. Not great. The Hybrid have been boosted up to zero to 60 in 7.1 seconds = very peppy.
Not sure if my other comment got posted so I’m doing it again I purchased a limited Hyundai Tucson all-wheel-drive and the seats are making me a cripple. Is there any aftermarket seats out there that you could recommend or possibly buy to help make this car drivable because it’s not drivable for me with the seats.
It's a nice-looking midsized suv. However, it is not built to last. Sadly. Motor and transmission will fail. It's a good option as a 3 year lease only...
I just purchased a Hyundai Tucson Limited 2025 model and the seats hurt my back and leg so bad it’s making me a cripple. Is there a way to buy aftermarket seats for the front that aren’t gonna be so painful to drive please someone come back at me with an answer, if you can.
So weird they got rid of the Hyundai h on the steering wheel but then forgot to design the fob to go along with it. Missed opportunity. The fob looks awful.
So can I open the door, press a door lock button and get out of the car? Or do I still have to wait for all the doors to be closed and then press a stupid key fob to lock my dumb expensive car?
HYUNDAI keeps slipping in the annual brand rankings, as KIA improves and Hyundai keeps the RIDICULOUS STUPID WEIRD OPPOSING ANGLES AND ARE WAAY TOO OVERSTYLED. The funniest thi9ng they did was redesign the Santa Fe, but it's more oddball angles and squared off boxes that is now too long. Sit in an Elantra and there is this goofyashell downward angledbrace on the right side of console that blocks reaching to the right and is just a BAAAAD design. The Sant Cruz was a good idea, but LOOKS NOTHING like the gorgeous pre production model did, and gets ABYSSMAL MPG. TIME TO FIRE THE DESIGN STAFF.
My friend naveenthemachine is gonna love this one, he’s been a HUGE fan of Hyundai/Kia ever since they started paying him big bucks to talk trash about Toyota/Lexus, maybe he should purchase some of their products with all that money
Hahaha Naveen aside. The Tucson does have the value proposition sorted if you ask me. The options-price balance is very good. It’s a shame that their powertrains aren’t that good in terms of quality and reliability. If they can sort out their quality control, they have a true winner on their hands. They have improved significantly over time yes but still subpar because engine failures and other issues still appear to be present for a decent amount of cars they produce. I recently compared the passenger experience of a Camry Hybrid to a Sonata hybrid as I was overseas and using taxis. So yes both of these cars were taxis. They both had about 65,000km on them and the Camry Hybrid felt much smoother and didn’t make any noise that was abnormal or due to wear and tear. Sonata Hybrid just wouldn’t upshift so there was a constant vibration from the engine, got unpleasant very quickly. And the rear suspension was making noise already. Noise overall was about the same to my ears. There was no meaningful difference in that department. In terms of true build quality, they are not even on the same level. Before anyone says “bUt ThE TuNdRa eNgiNeS aRe bLoWiNg uP”- yes they are having issues but this can’t be used as evidence to say every other Toyota is gonna blow up. Same goes for Hyundai too. I’m not saying every single Hyundai has issues but my point is that there’s a bigger range of Hyundai’s having engine issues and other issues compared to Toyota. If you think I mean outright numbers, you’re wrong.
@@austin.2716 I agree with that, my personal choice in the segment would be a RAV4 tho, I like the CRV too but imo Honda should add more features to be competitive to Toyota
@@CarGeek360 Honda CRV in hybrid form is the worst buy here in Australia. No AWD available and it’s a 60 grand vehicle. You can get a Rav4 Hybrid with basically every single feature the CRV Hybrid offers WITH AWD for 56-59 grand depending on which trim level you buy. And the trim levels I’m talking about are the XSE (smack bang in the middle and pretty much the same as the US spec XSE) and the Cruiser (keeps the matte finish on the black exterior sections and a real leather interior and a few other bells and whistles. The top spec Edge (Adventure equivalent) makes no sense to buy if you ask me. The Cruiser is the best equipped Rav4 here. And if we compare FWD Cruiser Hybrid to a CRV Hybrid which is also FWD, the Rav4 undercuts it by 4 grand and offers pretty much all the same features. So much for Toyota being the overpriced one.
@@CarGeek360 Yeah I figured it wouldn’t be the same everywhere. It’s a shame because the CRV Hybrid is a very nice vehicle. It’s just overpriced. It doesn’t offer anything meaningful over the Rav4 Hybrid to be 4 grand more expensive in Australia. It’s not so clear cut in the US it seems. What’s the MSRP of a CRV Hybrid compared to a Rav4 Hybrid over there? And do u guys get AWD?
its better to lose money on toyota rav4 or honda crv rather than spending on this shit. hyundai engines are so pathetic that engine tanks for no reason. first oil burning starts and then its done. used to be a fan of hyundai car before. but right now after experiencing owning a sonata im done with this brand.
No it won't lol. A lot of Hyundai and Kia owners are happy. I own two Hyundai/Kia products. One at 47k miles and the other at 108k. Best vehicles I have ever owned.
@darkivaz-aaa1145 better in what ? Own 1 hyundai for long term drive it till 1.5 lakh kms . U will know the pain in the ass . Shittiest engines ever. Tanks for no reason. I bought one for 24k and engine died after 6 months. Company isn't replacing one now. It's not just me go to hyundai forms and search it over there. For the last 12 years almost every hyundai owner is facing this issue.
These are not the “ bang per buck they used to be “ . For a few dollars more I would go with a Japanese brand , preferably with no CVT and opt for a regular auto transmission instead .

When do they change their engine for hybrid .
I can see people complaining about the turn signals on the bumper. Hyundai made a real contender against the Rav-4.
Having followed Hyunais with the low turn signals, it seems to me to be a non-issue.
Anyone following who has an issue seeing those lights, they're driving way too close.
It has never been an issue. People just need to learn not to ride bumpers.
I've never encountered issues when changing lanes; the turn signal on my 2025 Hyundai Tucson is promptly seen, allowing me to change lanes smoothly.
My main issue with this trend is they are very vulnerable to damage for people who drive in places like NYC.
The air vents and the floating center console area closely resemble the Nissan Ariya.
That key fob looks bigger than my hopes and dreams... How heavy is that thing?
Very lightweight actually
It's bigger but less dense. IMO feels cheaper. Last 2 key fob versions were nicer IMO
The Tucson has become an excellent option 👍👍👍Love Drew

I’m not saying every single Hyundai has issues but my point is that there’s a bigger range of Hyundai’s having engine issues and other issues compared to Toyota. If you think I mean outright numbers, you’re wrong.
@@austin.2716 I agree with that, my personal choice in the segment would be a RAV4 tho, I like the CRV too but imo Honda should add more features to be competitive to Toyota
@@CarGeek360 Honda CRV in hybrid form is the worst buy here in Australia. No AWD available and it’s a 60 grand vehicle. You can get a Rav4 Hybrid with basically every single feature the CRV Hybrid offers WITH AWD for 56-59 grand depending on which trim level you buy. And the trim levels I’m talking about are the XSE (smack bang in the middle and pretty much the same as the US spec XSE) and the Cruiser (keeps the matte finish on the black exterior sections and a real leather interior and a few other bells and whistles. The top spec Edge (Adventure equivalent) makes no sense to buy if you ask me. The Cruiser is the best equipped Rav4 here. And if we compare FWD Cruiser Hybrid to a CRV Hybrid which is also FWD, the Rav4 undercuts it by 4 grand and offers pretty much all the same features. So much for Toyota being the overpriced one.
@@austin.2716 well it’s diff in the US but it seems RAV4 is HANDS DOWN the best choice in Australia
@@CarGeek360 Yeah I figured it wouldn’t be the same everywhere. It’s a shame because the CRV Hybrid is a very nice vehicle. It’s just overpriced. It doesn’t offer anything meaningful over the Rav4 Hybrid to be 4 grand more expensive in Australia. It’s not so clear cut in the US it seems. What’s the MSRP of a CRV Hybrid compared to a Rav4 Hybrid over there? And do u guys get AWD?
its better to lose money on toyota rav4 or honda crv rather than spending on this shit. hyundai engines are so pathetic that engine tanks for no reason. first oil burning starts and then its done. used to be a fan of hyundai car before. but right now after experiencing owning a sonata im done with this brand.
If you're feeling an itch to buy a Hyundai, just research the model and watch reviews from different mechanics. It'll fade away.
No it won't lol. A lot of Hyundai and Kia owners are happy. I own two Hyundai/Kia products. One at 47k miles and the other at 108k. Best vehicles I have ever owned.
@@savancleveland7756 no im a sonata owner . im not .its a shit brand with pathetic engines.
@@diegofernandezym And you think the Rav4 ancient of days interior is any better?
@@weliveyoung-o6r better brand in the industry. Why are you here trolling?
@darkivaz-aaa1145 better in what ? Own 1 hyundai for long term drive it till 1.5 lakh kms . U will know the pain in the ass . Shittiest engines ever. Tanks for no reason. I bought one for 24k and engine died after 6 months. Company isn't replacing one now. It's not just me go to hyundai forms and search it over there. For the last 12 years almost every hyundai owner is facing this issue.
These are not the “ bang per buck they used to be “ . For a few dollars more I would go with a Japanese brand , preferably with no CVT and opt for a regular auto transmission instead .
