Canadian Car Review
I'm very impressed by this suv. The exterior and interior are really nicely done. Hyunday is setting a new standard in the car industry which is good for the consumer. Keep up the good job Hyundai.
*car catches on fire*
I drove a 1.6 Premium AWD the other day, I loved it, it was the perfect size and had more than enough power for what I need, and it looks awesome in the Caribbean Blue.
I just bought one the 2.0L a month ago. And i didn't regret at all.
great review. my father just bought one yesterday and he's completely in love. with the warranty, this is likely going to be his last new purchase. kia and hyundai are awesome cars.
Bought a blue 2016 Tucson New Years weekend. Base model - and it comes with plenty of bells and whistles. I love it! Handles awesome and is a really good looking vehicle!
Koreans generally prefer solid, substantial feel of German and American cars over light feel of Japanese cars. Hyundai/Kia is making cars targeting at the driving dynamics of German, the reliability of Toyota and the roominess and convenience of American cars. They are not quite there yet. But they are getting quite good at making cars.
Agreed. They're improving at such an astonishing rate. I wouldn't at all have chosen a Kia 15 years ago but now I drive a Kia Carens. :) If there's anyone who can combine all 3 of the features you mentioned it's definitely the Koreans.
+Fade Away In reality it's not that Hyundai and Kia have caught up., but the consumer is catching up. In 2009 after 5 years of ownership a 2004 Elantra was voted most reliable car. That was 12 years ago. My brother owned one and it was faster, more luxurious , and as I stated more reliable than my friend's Corolla.
WOW, this new Tucson looks fantastic and if drives like a Tiguan, it will be my next vehicle.
I really like the Tuscon. My friend has a 2014 Base model and she already has 70,000 miles on it. She's had 0 issues and the 2.0L still sounds brand new when it starts up and still averages 30+ mpg on her commute. But as far as driving dynamics, the Tiguan is still worlds better than anything including the Escape and CX5. They may come close but the Tiguan still has better dynamics. I would definitely consider the Tuscon in the CUV category though
+Brandon Friesen The Tiguan is a nightmare. Bad cylinder heads, to many electrical glitches.. VW Tech.
Sean S I used to work for VW. The TSI engines have issues but if you get a good one, they'll last forever. Cylinder heads are fine, don't know what you're talking about.
Love your reviews you are the only one that so far have review both versions
I bought the 2.0 version without test driving it cuz Hyundai only had the turbo available so I was a bit worried but after watching your review I am confident that the 2.0 version will be the one for me . I drive everyday in a bumper to bumper traffic so I want something smooth and save for winter driving in Ottawa where we get lot of snow and icy roads
Thanks man
Btw I got the Tucson 2.0 luxury version in Caribbean blue which I am still waiting to get !! I am very excited
Take care and keep up the good work
I could be wrong on some of these points but my personal preference on buying a new Tucson is this...
Going from Base model to top trim adds $16000 to the price - So may well not be worth the price to upgrade to top model
For me, I would just buy the Base model ($24,500) and do the following:
- Buy my own Alum wheels for approx $600+ (incl taxes)
- Buy my own Navigation stereo head unit ($250 - $500) - Can even get Android consoles to replace the hyundai factory console
Either way, unless you want the 1.6T engine and beige interior it's probably not cost-efficient to go for higher models just for the few extra features
Great review as always. I felt like I was driving the car with you. Good job. I love this vehicle it may be my next, probably the turbo charge one.
Very informative review, covering both base and upgrade version. The general public can't afford 40K but will go with the 2.0 or 1.6T.
An important feature of the new Tucson is the available ventilated seats, which is unique in its class.
We have owned a Hyundai Tiburon for many years and I'm a fan of the make. I worried over the panoramic roof and the problems Hyundai has had with them shattering unexpectedly. It happened to friends of mine with a 2015 Santa Fe, they made the dealer exchange it for another without a sunroof. When I asked both the salesperson and sales manager they stared at me as if this was new to them......we are continuing to consider the Tuscon, but unless Hyundai comes clean I am hesitant.
According to the brochure, the base model is equipped with 17 inch STEEL wheels
not alloy
I have the 2016 limited turbo. I experience lack of acceleration sometimes. When I timed it once it was 2 seconds slower from 30 to 70 km/h than usual. Same road, same driving mode. This is an occasional occurrence though. They couldn't do anything about it. After 2 months the air conditioning died. They repaired it, since then the dashboard has been squeaking. They did not put it back well. It needs to be fixed again. Coolant goes below minimum between regular maintenance services. I will ask what they have to say about this. So good luck to everyone who buys this product. This is my first and last Hyundai for sure.
We use to only buy Toyota we now have a 2015 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T love it little thing they do over say our previous Toyota ...rear heated seats and steering wheel small things yes but really nice. When I asked my sales rep at Toyota they said no we don't have those we want our customers to have cold hands. We are now looking for another new second car you can bet the Tucson will likely be the one.
i recently bought a 2016 tucson. traded in a 2008 fj cruiser. im blown away by my new car. the stigma behind hyundai is just about gone.
it needs a subwoofer though!
Gotta love the new Tucson. I just made a video explaining how to set the lift-gate height, i know a lot of people have trouble with that!
Drove the turbo, nice crossover
I like the Hyundai Tuscon--the only thing is that it seems a bit of a small engine. My daughter drives the 2 L Ford Edge (Titanium) which motivates the car faster than this one. Not sure why they didn't have a 2L turbo rather than a 1.6 L engine. As they say there's no replacement for displacement.
Up to 40K that is insane. The Eco is probably the best bet.
I LOUW VOU HYUNDAI Tucson 👍👍👍👍👍
Good review!! Thanks. Tucson has really done a great job for this new gen. I think it looks stunning and the feature rich. Well, next week, I am heading down to Hyundai dealer to trade in my CRV to get this beauty. Frankly, I am not very happy with the CRV with all the troubles I am facing with now.. Say 'hello' to HYUNDAI and good bye to HONDA!!! I think this car will out sell any of other competitors in this compacy CUV segment. Great job, Hyundai!!
It'd be great if you talked about the gas milage
These just came out in dealer lots in my neck of the woods and I checked out a couple of them but did not test drive yet. My initial impression, it's roomier then the previous version and more stylish but noticed cheap hard plastics on the base model interior. I also noticed that the front seat headrests are forward tilted with no adjustment possible making it impossible to lean back, this can be seen in the video @ 2:13. There is a push button adjustment for the headrest on the Sante Fe, allowing it to slide forward or backwards but it's missing from the Tucson, why?
Motormouth
I am just confused
Which one to buy
Crv
Tucson or rav4
Any suggestions
Love your channel, in your opinion has hyundai resale improved or will it improve more? I always worry about that.
All my life I drive japaneses cars .. A month ago I wanted to try Santa Fe but when I arrive at the dealer I'm still not comfortable of buying Korean cars it scares me still.. So I end up buying Acura RDX ..maybe someday
So u have to stand like an ass for a couple seconds just to wait for the good door to open?
A big question, why does the top model have black exterior accents while the lower price unit has chrome trim? This is completely opposite of other brands.
How does Tucson compare to 2016 Mazda CX-5 GT trim? If you had to choose one, which one would be?
It's a sexy crossover
Interesting how a 2 liter engine with 170 horsepower pulls a small SUV fine but add 30 horses and it barely pulls a brz lol
TechtheBest It's all about torque.
+Motormouth Canada All about torque? Well the diesel blows the 1.6T out of the water in that department...better fuel efficiency too!
+ronaldov09 We don't get diesel trims in Canada, sadly.
This Tucson is beautiful but for $40K they could have made the interior a little nicer place to be in.
About the 1.6 turbo engine; is that the same one in the Veloster Turbo? I have that in my Kia. My car is 3,000 lbs and I would guess the Tucson is much heavier.
+supercooled Thank goodness it's considerably LESS than $40K,l even in Limited trim. The interior should be nicer. Beige looks okay because the two-tone effect breaks it up. In black, it looks Spartan. Needs more bright accents, trim, etc. Now I see these "dress up" interior pieces on e-Bay so somebody caught on. More homework for Hyundai for 2017?
Hi there zack, base on your experience test driving the base model 2liter model, is the power enough for normal daily use? I mean is it worth considering as a small family crossover.. thnx
but what about resale value... it dosen't seem fair but hyundai always seems to lose out in resale =(
fabulousprofound the main reason why I got a Subaru. But I like this car overall better.
40k for a Tucson? No thanks. But the base model seems pretty good, I think people should wait until Hyundai refresh the dct.
Erkal 45K where I come from, top of the range Tucson Highlander 2 litre turbo diesel
+Erkal Go online to HyundaiUSA.com to see pricing, trims, etc. Even a fully loaded Limited Model, you'll find is MUCH less than $40K. I don't know where he got that information?
Coupydog dont forget the 35 million people living above you. Canada
Thank goodness it's considerably less than $40K. I had a 1987 IROC-Z with base 165 HP 5.0 V8; approx. the same weight as Tucson. The IROC was faster. It seems HP went farther some years ago? My Boss '13 Mustang gets 26 mpg Highway. Why is the Tucson only rated at 2 mpg's higher -- Really? Looks like homework time for 2017.
Did they fix the transmission and acceleration problem?
Have they fix the vague electric steering feel?
How is the steering feel? I hate our 2013 santa-fe just because the steering feel is awful.
I'll wait for the BMW X1 instead.
I see there has been massive complaints about the automatic transmission giving all sorts of problems... Which is a bummer because I was going to get one until I saw that Hyundai was not fixing the actual problem. They used a bad design that does not work. Such a let down considering it has such great crash safety.
was the base model you'd driven an AWD?
haha 1:32 spotted Brian!
how much is the knew like this....
On the top trim level.Who can afford that? I wish these reviewers would stop assuming everyone has a government job and make 6 figures per year.
dave houston So... you want reviewers to withhold information just because you can't afford higher trims?
"We desperately wanted to steal customers from the popular CX-5 and CR-V, so we decided to make our brand new Tucson look exactly like the two!" is written all over this car.
I'm gonna start buying Hyundai vehicles soon as they stop copying from Japanese cars
I'm confused, location was in BC but the car plate is in Ontario. This must've been driven that far. :-)
It's a press vehicle and makes the rounds across Canada. They all seem to originate in Ontario though ☺
+JCTiggs that would make sense. 👍🏼
+MrSomething this looks car awesome from all the reviews I have watched and learned. I'm getting my new car later already after a week of waiting. So excited.
How is this compared to Mazda CX 5 ?
better warranty available, better crash tests
Halloooo da ich erst neue gekauft habe kann ich nicht viel sagen
41K plus tax for a loaded Tucson ? INSANE !...the same money as a loaded Santa Fe. Any why in gods name did they not just use the old base 2.4L is beyond me, 191hp and matching torque numbers would stomp the1.6L & 2.0L and likely match the fuel eco numbers. I really think you will see some huge price slashing if Hyundai expects to sell these. IMO they should have saved on the dual clutch and turbo'ed engine in exchange for more realistic pricing. Nice but under powered , too much technology for an entry level SUV and over priced.
FOR 40k? i'd rather get the touring crv for 37k
if you lease a car, do you still need insurance
The seven speed dct has terrible reliability
In addition to making their new vehicles better, maybe #Hyundai can stop paying individual and/or companies to promo their vehicles by posting fake comments on RUclips. #Pathetic
Hunday...
but the back tho ** :(
there's no way this suv is better than either of the giants! you have Volkswagen, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc...... imo Hyundai is fifth on that list! these vehicles are purchased because of really good warranties. I would say 5 out of 10 are not lemons!
Competitive? Yes... Standing out? No...
164hp in a 3400lb vehicle is a fail.
I test drove it today, and it's Damn strong.
트렁크 열리는거 보면 답답해 돼질질 듯.
Firsty first first

i would never buy hyundai or kia
you mean unreliable ? Y would I be proud of japanese cars lol, I'm not Japanese, it's just that Japan makes best cars that's why people buy them Toyota honda Nissan Mitsubishi Subaru they are world leader, koreans just got in this business and japanese have doing it for a century, and they have perfected the art of car manufacturing it's just a fact
you proud of Korean junk, you loser
I have a ford, it's pretty good, I had a hyundai and when it broke even dealership couldn't fix problem, the problem kept coming back, my friend bought kia brand new and windows kept fogging up and dealership told her there's nothing they can do about it not sure what the problem is, so I have my reasons to dislike hyundai and kia.
bluejeans_Canada You have a Fucking Ford and you are bashing Hyundai/Kia.... jeezz what a moron, when you drive a Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, then bash you stupid Canadian loser.
ford taught all other companies how to build cars more than hundred years ago, watch the documantery on Henry Ford
Hi!
I Disliked your video.
Do you know why?
1-You show us a full specked blue SUV, but you did your review base model and compliately looks different than other one.
2-Generally you dont show the car well. You just speak. This is rediculus. People didnt came to listen to all specks, we came to see what is it and how it looks and sounds from inside and outside.
Because everybody could find them from the net.
3-Please add some different features to your reviews for giving us a better fun.
Thanks!
Uğur Faruk Tüzün Your first point is simply wrong. He and his crew tested two versions, one with the 2.0 liter and one with the 1.6 liter. The 1.6 liter was the blue one. If you'd watched and listened carefully, you would have known that he drove both of them during the review. As for the rest of your points: different reviewers do different things. If every reviewer followed the same exact format and talked about the same exact things, that would be boring and unhelpful. If you want an exhaustive look at the features, inside and out, check out saabkyle or Alex on Autos or other similar reviewers.
Thanks brother!
