- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- For 2019 the Hyundai Tucson has been refreshed. Under the hood is a 2.4L inline-4 mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. With exterior and interior upgrades done plus Hyundai's great warranty, is the 2019 Tucson a home run or a strike out?

The Tucson is a great car. We purchased it 4 months ago, fully equipped :)
The Tucson is just a little smaller than most in this class. But I think some people will appreciate that. It is a bit cheaper, more nimble and easier to park than some others.
I think it looks really classy!
Its cleverly packed. Smaller on the outside but good room inside for passengers and luggage.
I love my Tucson. I got mine back in September. I purchased the value edition so I don't have all the things this one has, but I'm happy with my decision. I love it and I feel extremely safe in it. I also have a 10yr old who constantly gets car sick, but oddly in this vehicle she doesn't get sick. She falls asleep in it and loves going for rides.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership input!
That Tucson is awesome, I have really been liking these when I walk around some lot's. (I travel to different dealership's daily for work)
Thanks for showing us all the new cars. Makes it easy for us to take a look before we even go to the dealer!
Good point about black interiors in other vehicles being too dark. I love the Hyundai dash displays, they are practical and not too busy. The Tucson covers a lot of bases, excellent cargo area, decent acceleration, everything within reach. As always once you've bought a vehicle you can get used to quirks like the rear view mirror. Excellent detailed review as always!
Love the Hyundai Tucson!! Hyundai is definitely doing a great job with their vehicles! Nice review, thanks for sharing.
Great review. I like how you point out the design nuances. I observed the same things about the lines. My wife has been driving Santa Fe's since they first arrived in America. This time we are trading in her 2016 Limited for a Tucson. She prefers it to the Santa Fe. She says it just feels right. Thanks for the informative review. I am confident she made the right choice and I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of her Coliseum Grey Preferred model.
Raiti luv your review of this great compact SUV from Hyundai. I Agree with just about all of it because you seem to be fair & impartial when it comes to your car review's unlike some others here on RUclips!...I was actually looking at this vehicle since this refresh came out for the 2019 MY, and decided to purchase it. Mine is Black on Black with the Ultimate trim which includes the Panoramic sunroof, as well as Nav & Infinity Premium audio system!...Couldn't be happier with my purchase!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your great input and thoughts, especially since you are an owner. I try to be unbiased as possible!
Here in Korea, we get a wicked 2L diesel mated to an 8 speed trans. 186hp and 300ft/lbs of torque. It's really sweet!
Now that is an interesting point.
Diesel just can't catch up in North American market.. what a shame
@@omgitsme435 It really is a shame Ace. I'm Canadian and had never experienced a good diesel engine til I moved to Korea. The effortless torque is intoxicating!
@@ady9910 Nice! I have the 1.6 D in my K3. Really love it too.
I love my Tucson. I purchased it a month ago. I love everything about it. a great purchase at a great price.
good choice, aggressive stance and roomy. Good spec for price too.
Wife had two Toyota RAV-4. Did some research on 2019 RAV-4 and was not impressed. Went to check out Tucson and a limited edition, gemstone red with cream/grey interior caught my eye. Really pretty inside and out very much unlike the one in Raiti's review. Fit and trim inside and out is very impressive and it drives nicely. Bought it, took it home, and my wife loved it!
Congrats Fred! I am glad that you guys found the right vehicle!
LOL!, what a coincidence, I had one of these for the past 10 days as a rental, lower trim level, but same engine. I did a long 4k miles trip between highway, mountains, etc, and I can say it was really good and smooth. I agree with everything you said, the infotainment maybe not the greatest looking, but it works every time. Great video Joe
Thanks for sharing your input from your experience!
This car is the best bang for the buck, I been driving Subaru's for 20 years (my last one "Crosstrek" was a service nightmare). Hyundai wins out in all phases of value, quietness, power, technology, comfort, it's well built (solid) and uses a real transmission instead of a noisy, dangerous, confused CVT. For the few times I need all wheel drive it does a good job in bad weather (I can manually lock the AWD to 50/50 by pressing a button, and get out of trouble). Overall its a real nice crossover/SUV.
I bought this exact SUV a few weeks ago to replace my third sedan because I'm fed up with trying to drive in the snow. It replaced a 2008 Pontiac G5 (two-door sedan).
Outstanding review!
Thank you so much for taking the time to say that!
my wife and i bought a 2019 TUSCON SE on monday june 4. we got a lot of things that would cost extra elsewhere. all of hyundais cars all come with tha video back up screen. got a new color. "dusk blue". rides heavy and feels secure when you drive it. paid $25,500 for it. i got a thousand bucks off the initial cost because i am a veteran, had to show them my honorable discharge papers. glad we bought it.
Congrats to you and your wife! I hope you get plenty of smiles per miles!
Thank you for your service. I got my 3 weeks ago. It had one previous owner who only put about 3000 miles on it. I think they knocked down the price from 23k to 18k because my dad bought three SUVs from them recently and they also gave me $1000 for my 08 Pontiac G5 when it was only worth about $600
The Pontiac is still on their lot. That piece of shit is definitely getting shipped off to China.
Bought mine at Hyundai of New Port Richey. Great car and a great experience. Jeff Collier was my salesman. Really happy with the car.
That is so awesome to hear! Congrats on your new Tucson!
Your issue with the dark interior only applies to the Limited models with the black leather interior. The ones with the beige leather interior are two-tone and brighten up the passenger area substantially. On a side note, your video of the Night Edition sparked my interest in the Tucson and resulted in me purchasing the Limited trim. Thank you.
How much am I looking at a month leading with 2k down ... roughly?
You guys are the best. love your reviews..🧡💯👍
Thanks Lawrence for saying that!
Nice review 👌 weird he didn't mention the resolution for back up camera, its should be better for especially ultimate trim 😉
Hey joe I have the 2018 tucson with the same powertrain underneath the hood
Nice vehicle. I'll wait until its a full redesign.
bought the 19 sport in February and i can tell you, it hasn't regretted my decision. Wife and I enjoy driving and riding in it, plenty of leg room and comfort. For the price of these models, you can't compare to what I was originally looking at which was the equinox. it was a shame, considering my family is GM and my father 37 years retired 3rd generation automotive worker but the price and feel wasn't what i wanted in the equinox and in my new vehicle.
Thanks for sharing your great input from your experience!
I love your very charming intelligent way of describing these cars. Not to sound weird but you almost make you want to eat the car!😭 Great job!👍 Love your vids.
I really appreciate your saying that! Thank you for your awesome support!
It's a beautifully made vehicle, like the brown exterior and interior. Hope it comes with the light beige/tan leather interior which is my favorite to go with the darker exterior. I like the belt-line around the vehicle, good full visibility, negligent front blind-spots. The noise decibels of outside traffic was minimal. I need to look at the Santa Fe and compare it with Mazda CX-5. Peace
I appreciate your input and perspective! Thanks for watching!
@Steve Robertson Couldn't have said it any better cx5 look so plain tuscon is stylishly different then the crowds
@Steve Robertson yea I noticed that too today I had a interview and when I was headed back to my car I seen a Tucson in that light blue color from the back I couldn't help but to stare at it for a while almost wanted to take a pic gotta get me one for sure after I build my credit
I have a 2010 Hyundai Tuscon Ltd that I have driven for years with no mechanical problems at all. I do have a question though. My Hyundai Tuscon does pick up a lot of road noise and when Im driving on the freeway, it is impossible to hear the radio or telephone over the car speakers and there at 10 speakers! that is even with all windows rolled up completely. Does the new Hyundai have better road noise insulation?? Can you actually hear the radio or phone when driving at highway speeds? Your demo didn't show anything with radio or speaker sound.
You should have a better experience in the new Tucson.
Just bought a 2020 Ultimate (wanted the panoramic roof) yesterday. Because of the color (Dusk Blue) it has a beige/gray interior which is much better looking than the all gray. Only complaint would be is that when using the backup camera at night it is almost useless. The clarity is bad and the red/backup lights blur it even more. Other than that I love this car for the money ($37k. I opted for the GAP insurance which covers everything for the course of the payment plan.)

This and the refreshed Elantra. Damn... I saw an Elantra beside the new Mazda 3 in another video and couldn't help but think Hyundai is seriously blowing away the competition! Good job Hyundai. :}
Are u serious... Ur saying the new Elantra looks better than the Mazda 3 ???
Ok so what are the other things that make the Elantra even a tad bit better than the Mazda 3 ?
veneel dsouza he can’t be serious the 2019 Mazda 3 is premium where as the Elantra is a pikachu wanna be lol
I had to laugh at this comment you are probably right if you like your cars looking like Pokémon pikachu lol
veneel dsouza - Fuck yes. The Mazda 3 is the ugliest compact car to ever hit the roads. I’d never even ride in one, let alone get paid to own one. 👎🏻👎🏻 Looks like someone came along and stomped on them. Lol
Loved the Midnight version for the Tucson, sadly they had to get rid of it for this year.
Sure it'll look good for this great looking refresh.
carrillo100100 they’ve added the midnight addition for this year
Great value for money, by the looks of it. and reliable.
Which color is this ?
Just ordered a Pearl White unit with beige interior after an extensive test drive. Currently, we have a 2018 KONA (not being traded in.) I agree that the black interior could use some contrast. The 6 speed is a real plus. NO CVT!!! Got it for noticeably less then sticker...unusual in these parts. Street tires do not do justice to the AWD. We live in the mountains east of Albuquerque and get significant snow storms in the winter. BTW by "ordered" I mean my local dealer got it from Texas. EXACTLY what I wanted nothing more nothing less. Thank goodness there are two Hyundai dealers in this city... I'll go the extra 20 miles to the west side. Better sales, better service. I knew nothing about the engine air filter easy-change.
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I am surprised this one had the smaller touchscreen- in the UK the SE Nav (mid range) has the larger display with more buttons. Also, the manual with the electronic parking brake has a better centre console design I feel.
I know how you feel!
looks fantastic! not sure if it is the same tucson available in the philippines. 👍🌹💖
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
@@RaitisRides welcome 👌
Curious, Is there a dead give away that tells the trim levels apart? Besides the features? You know, like toyota's are branding sel/se/w\e lol
Love the Hyundai Tucson 👌🏾
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
I just don't understand why this vehicle with the 2.4 gets the same mileage as the larger Santa Fe. It is lighter, no? If the headlights were in a high position, I would have to go for the larger (safer) Santa Fe. Say, anyone notice that this Tuscon is one of the very few vehicles you can buy these days with the top tint band on the windshield?
Tho are some really great points Bob!
Why do I feel like my Tuscon is just guzzling gas? Should I turn on the AWD lock or turn on Sport mode? Maybe it's just me. I feel like I'm needing to get gas more frequently.
That is very intersting.
Raiti's Rides - lol - You deserve an Oscar.
What amazing video
This SUV is gorgeous on the front and sides, I wish Hyundai will make a rear lift because I hate how the rear end is designed especially the location of the rear reflector. But over all I love this vehicle but I love more the 3rd Generation Santa fe
Get My tucson last week But 136hp diesel, Nice car
Congrats! I hope she brings you many smiles per miles!
Meh I’m glad the wife and I got our 2018 Tucson limited.
my fav feature is sunroof
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Needs and N badge
Another great video. The design of the headlights as well as the fog lights reminds me of the Ford Edge.
Hyundai is doing a great job with offering affordable vehicles with some style.
Need to do the Volvo XC40 Momentum in the Amazon Blue
I will try to track one down for you!
I have a night edition 2019 a verry nice car
Hyundai has come a long way but I’d like to see a little more being the limited model. No ventilated seats? Maybe limited means limited features. Interior is a little dark like you pointed out. Nice review as usual. 👍🏻👍🏻
L S they have a trim higher, the ultimate has all those features
Hankyu Park yeah, screw them. I’ll stick with U S made.
@@ady9910 I agree. The car manufacturers nickel and dime you for everything. You want something better, you pay extra.
The Tucson Ultimate has the ventilated seats.... I had to go up a trim to get them. (Basically the Limited does NOT have the panoramic sunroof, Ventilated seats, larger screen or the Nav.)
The 1.6 tgdi goes very well
Let’s see this is the Luxury model here 🇨🇦 . $34,700 , heated front seats but not air conditioned . No 1.6 Turbo , only 2.0 Lt or 2.4Lt .
OMG. when you review a vehicle, that left stalk on all vehicles, the turn signals, flip it up or down and get out of the vehicle and see where the lights up front flash on and off.
When will the Tucson get a full redesign?
They say 2021!
@@RaitisRides The 2020 has some changes as well,,. lights and front grill, etc.. (looks more Santa Fe-ish)
Batman would love this car
What is this color called?
Sage Brown!
Nice car 👌
Only thing I don’t like about these SUVs is that all the companies are putting that flat unpainted plastic around the wheels n bumpers. After a couple years in the sun it will be faded and discolored.
JIMBO SLICE mine is garage kept!
thank you
You are so very welcome.
Maybe it’s just the video, but it sounds kind of noisy. I guess that’s why test drives are important.
No it is a little buzzy.
The 1.6 isn't available for 2019. It's the 2.0 or 2.4. No more turbo.
I have the UK 2019 - Come look at mine !!It is - Urm confusing
P.s We have the top model (( not owned - we wish but on hire purchase )
Joe just so you I swear I said Audish before you!!!! LOL
A good looker.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Does the Hyundai Tucson have Remote Start?
Yes
Raiti's Rides Thank you! I couldn’t find a video that said whether it has it or not
@@Asmodeus092 Through the app only. Not on the key fob.
They no longer have the turbo. Just 2 in line 4s. The bigger has 181hp.
No moonroof for the limited?
Nope, you have to goo ultimate.
Jae, you can get the huge glass roof as an option on the Limited, you do NOT have to go with the top of the line Ultimate.
@@ofcbob6391 no you can't on 2019.
ummm, how am I not supposed to say that this is the Santa Fe sport, renamed to be the tucson?
Not true
5:40....There is no more 1.6T in the US. There is only a 2L and 2.4L NA engine. It's a shame really, because that torquey 1.6T was really good in this car. We still get it in Korea though!
That is a shame! You guys are lucky over there!
John Holst they still have it in Europe too. I have it in my 2018 Limited Tucson and it’s a great engine. I don’t understand why it’s not an option in the US anymore.
@@christianmarcel7766 Good for you! A very nice suv. That 1.6T is sweet.
@@christianmarcel7766 it's not here any longer because it had a lot of engine issues. DCT is the issue.
Lee G nope, no issues at all. It’s just because of marketing. The 1.6T DCT is still sold in the rest of the world. The only country in which they stopped it is the US. That’s all. And that’s because Americans prefer torque converter while Europeans and other countries in the world prefer DCTs.
we have 2016 tucson and it looks way aggressive than the 2019, i just hate the cheap plastics especially those on the door panel. nice remake btw
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I should say I said it before I heard you say it.......lol
I believe Nissan seat are good too!
The 2.4 is the way to go. The 2.0 works way too hard. They are proving to be great cars
This is true!
big guns is GOD!
I'm digging the refresh, although Hyundai's again copying the European car designs, and in this case it's the Audi, like other's before me have commented. I was really impressed with the size & handsome looks until you had to go & spoil it for me with your steering response comment! Hyundai can try & steal Audi's sexy looks, but they have a long ways to go when it comes to matching the driving experience i guess. Btw, I viewed the new 2020 Ford Explorer ST last night, & Joe, that puppy is Smoking Hot! Definitely not a chick's SUV, that's for sure!! Can't wait for you to get your hands on one & tell us what you think!
Greg Holman you do know why "Hyundai steals from Audi" right? Hyundai hired away Audi’s head of design Peter Shreyer in 2006. Now he consults for Hyundai/Kia while he has been replaced by a former VW Group designer named Luc Donckerwolke. So the German inspiration runs deep.
@@monaharp783 Yes i was aware of Peter Shreyer but not the other gentleman you mentioned. But they had to do something, I'm old enough to remember back in the day when Hyundai came onto the scene & their top speed was 80 mph ( I'm sure you recall Rodney King & how he put Hyundais on the map with his infamous police chase back in 1991-92 & he couldn't go faster than 80 mph), & they were also unreliable pieces of crap that only poor people with bad credit purchased. (I know because I happened to be one of them at the time). But that all changed suddenly when the Koreans came to their senses, cut their loses & approached a German engineer to join their company. I have to tip my hat to them for making a such a brilliant business decision. I'm reminded of the old saying; "If you can't beat them join them")!!
Can you review the new 2019 Jeep Renegade??
Yes, I will get that together for you!
Raiti's Rides thank you! I’m considering getting it
The prop rods really suck. That makes things seem so cheap. Needs a lighter interior.
HALWG51 very good points!
Looked at a 2019 model yesterday but not sure how reliable the hyundai brand are....... Thinking AUDI VW SEAT MAZDA all better options
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you so much for watching!
Hyundai's and Kia's cant be unreliable with the warranty they offer. If they were unreliable they would be out of business! Good luck with you Audi or Volkswagen! Haha. You need to do some research my friend!
No Turbo this year. 2.0L
HUH?
Unfortunately the current Tucson doesn’t offer the 1.6t only the 2.4 it’s the only engine from the Hyundai group that I dislike but luckily if you want turbo power you can check out its sibling the Kia Sportage
very Audi design, because they hired that audi designer. that's started the new looks of hyundai and kia
What's cvt again?
A transmission that uses belts instead of gears!
@@RaitisRides ok
Barf bag lol
Thinking of getting an escape for the wife would love to see you review one!
Ben Boleyn the escape gets horrible reviews and full of cheap plastic and cheap parts like all other domestics. Poor fit & finish and will be redesigned soon. That would be an awful choice and an unreliable barf box at 100,000 miles not to mention it’s crappy warranty and hard seats.
Mona Harp got 200,000 miles on the wife’s 2008 Escape and put very little money in maintenance, yes there is a lot of plastic but I am looking for a car made in America and I don’t want to spend a ton of money on it or buy 93 octane gas either.
I'm waiting for the 2020, will likely see it this week at MN state fair. Ford brings all the new ones to event. Problem is they won't have any discounts on them til next year. 2019's are deeply discounts Ben.
Joe reviewed the 2020 already. Look for that one. Looks a lot different than the 2019.
Does anyone else find the steering terrifying?

I'd get the cx-5 or equinox , too underpowered for the price Imo.
Get a Audi R8 v10 plus if you want power
no power...…….in the 2.4...…...bring it in the 3.3...…...

You made a mistake!! You say that the engine choice is between a 2.4 and 1.6 turbo. WRONG! The 1.6 turbo mated to the dual clutch 7 speeds has been scrapped. They changed it to a 2.0 naturally aspirated. If you’re gonna do reviews, at least check your facts. Not very professional...
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Even though it's the perfect size, it's not my favorite. The new Mazda CX30 is going to kill this thing.
AGREED!
The CX30 is very small. Not the same category. So no, it’s not going to kill the Tucson. The CX5 is its competitor.
@@christianmarcel7766 it's shorter. With a premium interior. If it has the same cargo room as the CX5 ,(at least 50 cubic ft) I will probably buy one. So...
Gregory Merritt the CX30 is really smaller, it can’t have the same cargo volume, in fact, it’s 430dm3 while the CX5 506dm3 and the Tucson 513. I don’t like the CX30 exterior design but that’s personal.
@@christianmarcel7766 I already know it won't have the same cargo room as the CX5. All I need is 50 cu. Ft. The Mazda interior and safety features will steal sales from Hyundai and many others. I'm not too excited about the styling but it's good enough for me. Not a huge deal.
Looks great just wish they would stop charging for safety features such as Lane keep assist pedestrian alarm stop cruise control with auto braking heated mirrors and heated seats LED lights these are all being sold his options you used to sell your backup cameras is options until the feds said that this had to be a standard stop waiting for the feds and be a responsible concerned for safety company this way you can post that you truly have the safest vehicles on the road if you sell safety as an option it only says you care more about money and less about the actual overall safety of your consumers that is distasteful and in my opinion Criminal
Very good points James!
You don’t like periods do you!? Lmao
@@monaharp783 I don't trust anything that bleeds .....
While KIA has made its Sportage from a once very nice looking car to uglier with each new update, Hyundai went all opposite way.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
@@RaitisRides
Thank you for taking care of comments. I am sorry I didn't address your top-notch professionalism. Your approach on exterior and interior review of the car, it was so detailed and it was awesome. Great job.
First
Looks a little Audish !!!!
The Tucson honestly seems the least impressive of all the Hyundai SUVs. It feels cheap for the Limited trim. It’s like Hyundai put all their eggs in for the Santa Fe & even more effort put into the Kona
Don't like the color...black or white perhaps ...still don't want the neighbor's to see it in my driveway..unless the H is for Honda...You compared this suv to about half a dozen other cars....so I'll just call it "Frankinstucson"and get rid of the iPad in the middle of the dash....Missed the price..but 30-35 k seems fair..less buy it...more I'll pass
181 HP...on a 3600 plus suv...wow...no skimping there...this is a starter SUV...not to bad. Could be better ..
The "dumb paddles" that you continually reference in most of your reviews only serves to discredit your opinion. Some drivers not only like the paddle shifters, they seek them, and for good reason.
Your reviews are comprehensive. Unfortunately, they are a bit too judgemental IMO.
To answer your opening question, absolutely nothing. They all look the same to me!
This thing is going to be slow and below average mileage.. Two common traits with Hyundais
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
It's not a sport car and it's pretty heavy but like all Hyundai products it have plenty of feature for less money than others and the waranty give a peace of mind I personnally appreciate. I had try others but they are the best for the price for me.
I have the 2016 2.0L turbo diesel and it gets about 48 mpg on the highway and is nowhere near slow. Off the showroom floor it has 186 hp and over 300 ft/lb of torque. If not for the traction controls I could not keep the rubber on the wheels. 0-60 in about 8 seconds in an SUV you can comfortably fit 5 adults in and still carry cargo is pretty damn good.
2.0L …...…...turbo in the US...……...only 2.0L gas
Had to dislike this video. No key fob,MSRP, MPG. And Poor lighting.
I really appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you so much for watching!
