Alex, you're the best car reviewer on RUclips hands down.
+Varg I agree but he should slow down on his speech just a little bit. Seems like he's in a race or something.
Not best imo but definitely in the top 3
Check out redline reviews channel
agree
Redline??? U can't be serious 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Alex is light-years ahead of that Asian guy
maaaan now that's a car review!!!! love your reviews man!!!! very in-depth and comprehensive!!! I've been cross shopping SUVs and your reviews have been very helpful!!! keep it up!!!
I just want to say, This speaker is AMAZING! I'm researching 2017 H Tuscons to buy as a pre-owned compact SUV (it's Dec. 2023) and this video offers me a very rich "baseline" education. Seriously, it was very pleasant to watch this, even the setting in the woods makes it better than the videos that film in parking lots. Thank you! (Tennessee)
So glad you found the video helpful; that's our goal! -Travis
I bought a used 2016 Tucson last December and just wanted to look and see what you said about the model. When I tell you that you taught me numerous things about my own car...
This engine / transmission combo is fantastic
Except for direct injection with carbon build up. The warranty is phenomenal though!
Another excellent review Alex! Purchased my limited with ultimate package last month over the cx-5 and absolutely no regrets love everything about this vehicle.
How are you feeling about it now? Considering buying one of these used.
You give the most detailed reviews out there and definitely do your homework. Thank you for all your efforts!
Hands down, the best car reviewer on youtube, very detailed and packed with lots of information. Thanks! I m a bug fan!
That's the feature I am looking for in a suv. Short and compact. Not too protruding back and front. A winner for me.
even with its spacious size inside,parking is a breeze everywhere.Dont listen to the idiots complaining about dual clutch who dont know how to drive this car and dont have an scheduled maintenance.
The interior room is amazing for such a short/small SUV.
Hyundai & Kia are offering values that Toyota was giving back in the late 70s/early 80s. Not saying there isn't value in Toyotas but it seems the 'Koreans' have stepped up their game. As Toyota was chasing after GM, Ford & Chrysler 30+ years ago, it appears to me Kia & Hyundai are taking away clients who might other wise buy a Toyota (Nissan or Mazda). It's good to have options and I can't recall in the past 30 years when more favorable options have been available for the consumer.
+Tully3674 It's actually unbelievable how they were able to step up their game. Just 10 years ago Kia and Hyundai went from "who the hell would buy it?" to "damn, that might be my next car" now days.
+Roman O They are gorgeous cars now and run very well.
especially after having their economy depleted from the 1997 asian financial crisis, and the Korean War. at this rate, i believe in another few years, Hyundai and Kia will be among the top car brands.
I'm very complicated...Hyundai and Kia...I don't know. They doesn't give Korean valuable services such as long period of warranty. They are selling reliable cars in the world and it makes me happy because I'm Korean. However, they disregard people who made them. Korean people bought a lot of cars from them when they are developing in other countries. When People in the would were blaming them, Korean got cars from them because they are the only survived Korean brand. We made them wealthy and 5th top contender of the would but...now...I feel shame...I hope they don't discriminate Korean.
Roman O agree.... but they still rattle and squeak as much as ever!
I like all the detail comparisons, features and functions presented in all your presentations. Definitely a great reference on cars.
wow. that was the most informative review i have seen on the hyundai. thank you! you won me as a subscriber. keep it up!
Definitely one of the very Best reviews ever.
Alex, love your thorough reviews. I bought the top of the line Tucson and love it so far and I'm at 1k miles.
How's it holding up (if you still have it)?
Alex, I appreciate your candor in evaluating this against the CX5, one of my favorites in this segment. I like everything about the new Tuscon; if they only offered adaptive cruise control (which ironically is now available on the Elantra), I'd probably go out and buy one right now. This vehicle ticks off about everything major item on my wish list otherwise.
Alex .... your approach is very unique, useful for those who are going to buy a SUV.
Thank You. from Sri Lanka.
Alex I appreciate your thoroughness in all of your reviews. If at all possible please add a brief look at the gauges etc in the dark. I do most of my driving at night and would find it extremely helpful. I haven't seen any reviewer that does this.
Hey just stopping back to remark that this video clinched my decision to go with a 2017 Tucson Sport! I absolutely agree with the grade you gave the car in all 6 categories and have zero regrets, so thank you, Alex.
how is the Tucson ?
Great review Alex. Here in Asia we have the CRDi options. They really powerful and fuel efficient.
Very nice expertly produced and delivered video, A lot of info here, and explains any anomalies drivers may run into. Thank you I subscribed to this channel, Alex delivers reviews I don't mind listening to.
Really detailed review, and great information, thanks !
Only your reviews satisfy my thirst for car reviews. Thank you.
alex is an intelligent review master thank you for this💛💛💛
Best reviewer than others no bias and good comparison
+Alex
Thank you for a good review.
The CX-5 AWD gets 30/24/26 compared with the non-Eco Tucson 28/24/26. So, the CX-5 is in-fact slightly better on the highway.
The Eco Tucson does get 31/25/27, so +1 MPG better in city & highway as well as average.
love that feature displaying all light and wiper setting on my Hyundai
Wonderful review as always Alex! It seems like the best time to purchase the new Tucson will be after the Santa Fe Sport is refreshed and Hyundai can equip the vehicle the way you know they would like to. I test drove the Eco model and actually thought it would be a great base trim, and the fully loaded Limited model still seemed like it was begging for more content. Seems like Hyundai may go the same route as Jeep with a Patriot/Compass and Cherokee surrounding the Compact CUV market rather than hitting it directly.
Oh, sorry to say there's a typo in the economy graphic under the AWD equipped 2.0L's city numbers. I'd like the stalk status display if the vehicle were a rental, not so much once I've learned a vehicle's quirks though.
Thanks Alex for such an informative and inclusive review! You’re the best!
Having mentioned there are better grippier tires out there in the market, could you please advise on certain brands to go for?!..
Thanx a gain and much appreciated!.. 👍🏻
Excellent Reviews Alex!
Could you please do a review on 2019 Tucson as they have done a mid cycle refresh with different interiors and changed engine options. Would love to get your opinion on that car before I consider buying it. Thanks!
Fantastic review!!!! I am considering this car! Also subscribing!
you made me buy the 2017 sport.NO REGRETS.
any problems with transmission ??
@@lmae8218 it's not a nd miata. I beleive mazda are upto version 7 and they are still self destructing.
Very dissent and honest presentation . Thank you
Thanks for another great review, Alex. Will you also be taking a look at its Kia sibling, the Sportage?
Great review very thorough
Great review. A one stop “shop” .....now I know all I needed to know.. awesome
Thank for this video u exp everything i needed to know keep it up
Great review I love this crossover
Great video Alex!!
Great review as usual. Nice work.
Your videos are wonderful. Always straight to the point. Can you please suggest Compact SUV with least amount of Cabin noise.
he is the best car reviewer I ever seen
Thanks for another great video. We test drove a fully loaded 2017 model and the interior felt very inexpensive compared to the competition. On road the Tuscan felt jittery compared to the competition as well. After careful consideration we replaced our fully loaded 2011 Sonata Limited Turbo with an Equinox.
Great review Alex!
Please do more videos. Great reviewer!
Excellent review!
Thx for the review Alex.
I got mine yesterday 1.6 turbo sport awd I love it it skoots dwn the rode pretty quick for suv
any transmission problems ??
very informative, even with excessive talking about tires ( which can be changed to many different compositions, for mileage vs grip)--- more explanation about warranty value is needed though since that is a major advertising point of every Hyundai advertisement. Pleasant video to watch, well paced, useful.
professional review as usual
Alex, I love your reviews! Is it possible to get an exhaust note 'sample' during each review to hear what it sounds like? A big turn off for me of 4 cylinders is the sound they make.
I just love how Alex does the reviews, he gives a lot of info and comparison and understands that there is no perfect car.
In my personal opinion I test drove all compact crossovers this year at a auto show and sat on mid and top trim levels. My favorite was the cx5. if you want basic trim the mazda it's the best, it offers the 2.5 liter plus push start ignition and for 400 bucks you get a big touch screen. with Tucson you need to step it up to the sport. Also the tucson has way too much hard plastic from all the way from sport to bottom trim. even in the Limited had some more than the others. My second choice it's tie with limited tucson or rogue. the rogue has a very nice interior. The tucson gauges look way to simple, nothing special, it looks cheap. The exterior it's the best, period, but to me the interior it's the most important after engine and performance since it's where you spend all of the time. Hyundai warranties it's hard to beat specially for me since I want to keep it for 10 years.
please make a review on the 2019 tucson. I see a lot of reviews but they don't do rear a leg room review. thank you.
Alex I'm really looking forward to every episode. As a matter of fact I'm obsessively checking when a new one will be out. All my friends know about you and I just love the style and format of the while thing. I'm commenting for the first time.
I'm really looking forward seeing the New Civic, Tesla P90D and the X, New Prius, Rav4 Hybrid, New Lexus LS, if you can get your hands on the NSX
+Georgi Milushev The Civic will be out this week, the new Prius and RAV4 hopefully by the end of February. Thanks for watching!
+Alex on Autos Will it be a Touring model?
+PhoenixGaming I'm sure it will. usually the top trims are reviewed
I have a few other channels I watch that review mid-tier trims but I agree that the highest one should be reviewed. Plus Alex has done lowest trims of cars before (I believe the 2014 Corolla was the last one I watched that I can remember.)
+Georgi Milushev I have the new 2016 Hyundai Tucson and it's the best SUV in its class IMO.
Just one note on the black interiors on the Tucson. Hyundai needs to step it up with some accent stitching, piping or bright trim on door panels & around door handle releases & console . The "stark" black interior look went out in the 80's. Considering the competition, including most other models from Hyundai, you'll will see what I'm talk'in about. This fault gets the most demerits on Limited models, as for paying thousands $$$ more, the overall interior appearance is about same as in the lower line.
The Rav4 Hybrid XLE is the best value in this class, at under $29k, but this is very appealing with great style and power, and good real-world fuel economy. Very well done redesign.
What an awesome review!
checked out all of the competition....the Tucson is IMO the best over all.........I really like it and its good looking. AND THAT WARRENTYYYYYYY !!!! no one comes close
Great review Alex. How about reviewing the 2016 Chevrolet Spark?
Absolutely love what Hyundai did with the Tucson.
+Alex on autos hello I will like to know if you can do a review on the 2016 SUBARU OUTBACK thank you keep up the good work
The base 2.0 model that I rented out last month reminded me to ask you to incorporate a head toss index for testing taller vehicles. I would say the excessive head toss over uneven pavement and the plasticky interior are the only negatives I found with that particular model.
Great review as always Mr Alex, and yes it got me confuse between this and CX-5, but i couldn't more agree with you, i'd choose the 2016 GT model CX-5!
+Didi Atthas Good choice, I have the 2015 CX-5 GT 2.5L (AWD) and just took it in for it's 1 yr scheduled service. Absolutely no problems at all, it has good acceleration, the AWD system sends power to the rear extremely fast when needed as I tested it a few times in snow storms up in Canada and best of all it is great on gas. I am getting slightly better mpg than the rated if I take it easy.
Alex; long time viewer. The details into which you delve is really amazing. Couple big picture off the wall observations. 3 exporters of "most improved over the years" cars we see in the showroom seem to be built by former wartime enemies. Does these bode well for Vietnam and Iraqi imports in the future? I confess to owning both a German and Japanese car. Somehow I doubt kim il ? will get there though much less the others.
2nd question. Any chance you'll "test" a 991.2 in the near future?
Manufactures in general never slow for a moment it seems though I hold little hope for autonomous vehicles in our future. I'm wrong as often as not though... Thanks
+James Tennier I'll see what I can do :)
+James Tennier When was S Korea a wartime enemy?
LOL
I wanna see your review on the toyota rav4 hybrid, and a good explanation of the drive train especially the rear motor, like its limits... thank!
shopping for the daughter, we were very unhappy with the mazda CX3. Too loud, very coarse. How does this stack up?
In real world dealer lot pricing, you can get a mid-level 2017 Hyundai Tucson Sport for about $4k less than a mid-level 2017 Mazda CX-5 Touring.
💯 on point for the Tucson. Great are review 🥰👌🏼
Could you please do a video explaining the different types of car lights? To me it all sounds like a foreign language. I am curious about the different pros and cons and pricing and trends in the automotive industry lately. Everyone seems to keep making a big deal about lights in car reviews and I am ignorant.
i have the turbo sport 2017 of this, but my eco doesn't come up when i hit the drive mode button, is that for certain models?
I LOVE THE WIPER SPEED READ OUT, it is great, you don't have to look at the handle when it is raining to see what it is on or if you turn the rear one on. i think it is a great feature, i hope they don't lose that in the years to come
I'd get the Tucson over the CX-5 only for the Sedona Sunset paint. GORGEOUS.
Tucson has better features than the CX-5 as well.
Alex . . . went to look at a 2017 Tucson. They showed me that towing capacity is 1,000 pounds without trailer brakes and 1,500 with trailer brakes, regardless of engine.
Hi Alex,
Which car would you recommend for lower lever trims among the CRV, RAV4, CX5, Tuscon
Excellent styling and wheels. Looks sportier and more interesting than class leaders like the Rav4 and CRV. A Rav4 Hybrid will be more powerful and more efficient, but more expensive. BTW, that is the smartest power tailgate I've heard of. Just stand in front of the tailgate with the key on you, and it will beep until opening. That's how it should be done!
10/10 reviewer
I just got a used Sport, 33k miles. Maroon. Sweet ride.
any transmission problems ??
Alex, you got some of the best auto reviews. I know you mention how much you like Mazda CX-5 handling in many SUVs in this size range. What about Tiguan? You mentioned you rate it high but that was in 2014/2015. What about now? I checked all SUVs below 30K and I felt Tiguan has the best interior quality but the style is not exciting. Second for me is Subaru Outback and CX-5. Hope you do a quick review on 2016 Tiguan as it now has Android auto and the models are greatly discounted by dealers.
The Tiguan handles well for sure but it is fairly expensive compared to the competition
Your reviews are very helpful. I am very torn between this vehicle and the CX-5. Just not sure about Mazda's long term reliability as I heard the older suvs were not reliable. But I need to test drive one soon because every reviewer raves about the pleasure of driving the CX-5. But I do like the Hyundai's long warranty. What do you suggest? Thanks
+Nana Kwame it has alot of strange quarks....do a full test drive especially if your looking at the dual clutch....parallel park it in a pretty tight spot....that alone might change your mind about this Tuscon.....
Any chance you will get to review the top of the line Hyundai Tucson?
The automatic lift gate is a great feature. You walk up to the back, it will beep 5 times, and wa la open sesame
yes great reviewer
Alex, which is quieter in the 2016 base model, the Tucson or the Santa Fe Sport? Thanks.
hands down best review please to sante fe sport and veloster turbo
smart review much helpful... gear shift is very poor of this crossover
+Kottarathel Sujeer its terrible and unsafe....it will accelerate on its own from a dead stop...making it impossible to inch it forward with control....
Great Review Alex. I have a quick question. Does the AWD Tucson 1.6T feel slower than the front drive version. I really like this little CUV exterior styling even better than the Mazda.
+carguy812 It is a little slower since the final drive ratio is tweaked a little in the AWD version.
Love it so much
Hyundai is on a roll.
Thank you for this great review.
I want to buy a car in this class sometime in the next month. Because of huge variety of cars in this segment, I am really confused. Every time I do more research, I am getting even more confused. Now, I am thinking about Mazda CX-3 or 5, Toyota Rav4 and Buick Encore. Encore sounds to be a good car in comparison to others and what it offers, but you didn't mention it. Please let me know what do you think abou these cars and if there is any other options to consider.
+Mohammad Haidari Buick encore is a very funny disproportional looking car, besides it gets really low ratings. If I were looking for lease, I would look at best money and features car. If you are planning to keep car until your wheels fall off, then go with Toyota.
I'm concerned about the dual clutch transmission and if there are problems with it. I'd really like to purchase the sport trim, but I don't like the idea of the computer switching the gears.
Good day between this and the cx5 which is more reliable for long term thanks.
This 1.6 T, Tiguan 2 1.4 T, Kadjar 1.2 T, Kuga 1.5 Ecoboost or Ateca 1.4?? what would you get? New 3008 will be released after 4/5 months here in my country so won't wait for it.
what is the best way to use this car in heavy traffic and stop start as the transmission gets hot very fast
Another great review, Alex. Thank you. As another viewer pointed out, the amount of work/research you put into your videos is nothing short of impressive. I'd like some clarification, though. You said that the CX5 has a more premium feel. Is this true even for the higher trim Tucson, which you say has better materials in it. I appreciate what Mazda has been able to accomplish, especially in recent years, but the Tucson, fully loaded, seems like a CX5 killer to me.
I really would like you to review the Subaru Outback Limited 4/6 cylinder models.
Yes I would still apply that to the Limited trim. The hard plastics in the Tucson honestly shocked me since Hyundai has been creating some really great interiors lately.
Thanks, Alex.
how about tucson 1.6 turbo vs crv 1.5 turbo? any review?
16:36 I'm surprised to hear about the cabin noise, from all the other reviews I've seen they talk about how quiet it is in the new Tucson.
I think most of the time, people are comparing it to the older Tucsons
the new Tucson has the quietest cabin noise.
YEAH Crv got 70 dba
my dream car hoping to have it one day
Is the blue light that is showing for the direction of air flow able to be turned off?
I bought one after listening to this. This car is so powerful and fast. Dont know why yet it's got a small engine 1.5. I pass all other vieckels like they are standing.
Alex - I'm a long time viewer and am so appreciative of the level of detail you provide in your reviews. I read a blurb about the 2016 Tucson and came to your video. To be honest, my decision had been narrowed down to the CX5 and the Forester. You do not spend as much time discussing the Forester's place in this class. What are your thoughts between these 3? Lastly, can you comment on visibility from the cabin of the Tucson? That's a huge point of contention for me, which is why the Forester remains high on my list--I can actually SEE out of it.
+Jim Pryde Visibility is a strong point on the Forester. I generally only talk about the major sellers in a category because doing otherwise would make the videos too long. The Forester is usually 8th or 9th on the sales charts so I generally don't cover it unless there's a strong reason. The Forester's main selling point is price, it's inexpensive for a vehicle with standard AWD. My only complaints are that the low starting price meant Subaru had less to spend on the interior.
+Alex on Autos That's a good point, Alex. Compared to the interior of my 2007 Fusion, though... It's stellar! As for visibility in the Tucson, where does it rank? Thanks again!
+Jim Pryde cant see shit out of the rear view....backup cam comes standard on all models.....dual clutch at dead stops is like driving with a first time manual driver....sucks to park....otherwise its nice.....
Love the Hyundai Tucson
I agree this is a nice ride just bought one for my wife and she loves it !!
