2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6T - Redline: Review 

Spot on! I cant believe Im actually considering one. And im not a SUV type of guy lol.

How's the gas

4-years later, how’re you doing with the Tucson?

@@Outofurleaguex3 we drive this car locally traveling from home to work and to stores and occasionally travel to another city/town. I don't really pay much detail attention to the gas mileage but we refill gas tank every 2 weeks. I'd say the gas/mileage is good but not great. Lucky this car is designed for regular gas and is recommended by the manual.

@@jtlovespi2493 since we only drive mostly locally the car still feels like new! So far so good. The only few complaints is the audio system. I mean for the limited edition, the audio/speakers system it came with is disappointing. If you care about listening to music in the car with nice bass... upgrade it to better system in the option. I don't know if it is the transmission system or the software but the car jerks at times when changing from gear one and two. Maybe this will be fixed with the latest software update which I have not done yet (received the letter from the manufacturer). The other part is I wish the body width is a little bit wider because with 2 kids, the car feels crampy at times (maybe that's just me). One more, there's no USB ports in the back passenger seat area so if you can upgrade that do it. I wish I did that. They tires it came with are junk as it blew up the first year and the ramp that came with the car is useless as it bent when we tried to change the blown tired. The storage area is decent and we can fit lots of groceries items back there. The sun/moon roof is holding up great. Oh btw, the AC works great too! To be honest, for our family of 4, the 7 seater truck would work better and I don't mean the Sante Fe.

yes

Just bought? Why are y’all saying it like you bought her a phone or something? Do I really need to go to college to live the good life? I thought high school was enough...

Any update now?

I'm a college graduate who's considering this car bc I love the look, style, tech, & luxury features!

I make that much and have 2 kids so there's NO way I can afford this. lol. ugh...

mmmaxmmm83 - same boat here! Cost of living is sky rocketing as well here in Fl anyways.

I make twice that and can't afford this as my porn bills are astounding!

the sad fact is 100k is considered low in some cities, this may even be out of range for them

Bitch please. Singapore cars are all 50k and above. 500k for gtr r35 and you can only keep it for 10 years. We have it worst.

+bnj0828 So your saying I need to go to Canada to pick up mines when it's time to buy. Thanks, good looking out.

That's alot of money

Hyundai fully loaded is considerably cheaper than its alternatives. So price wise it's not too bad.

+Luke Hoisington Hyundai packs a lot of value in for the price. Try any BMW with same options as this Limited W/Ultimate Pkg. You'll be in the upper $40's or higher, even for the cheapest entry level models -- and probably still won't have all these features.

+Coupydog lol wtf is your point? a luxury car costs more? News flash there. If you compare to others in its class (rav4, crv) the prices are extremely similar, and toyota and honda are worldwide renowned for their outstanding reliability while hyundai is still trying to prove itself worthy of comparison, so objectively i would argue they pack more "value".

Hyundai's are getting pretty reliable. I mean you can't say anything about the new cars, but go ten years back and see how many 05' Hyundai's are on the road. Where I live, I see a decent amount of old Sonata's and Elantra's.

+Moaiz Shahzad Your right. I priced an Audi Q5 with all the goodies that the Hyundai has and the price hit 60k, and that BMW X3 was even worse. BMW charged you $500 for paint. FOR PAINT? I didn't know having paint was optional.

Lol... I have one of these in this color and it is a gorgeous color, it drives and handles just fine for my needs... but otherwise I find it to be very average otherwise.... I only hope it will be a quality long lasting vehicle though as mine is paid off and I plan to keep it for ten years or longer ... if it goes that long... I will laud the vehicle for sure.

iam

I agree. It looks great. But has SO many flaws. Some that scare me like not being able to get through a green light or passing slower drivers.

I am pretty sure it takes 87 regular.

You may use regular 87 but might loose a couple of ponies. The onboard computer will make the adjustments needed. Quick answer is yes!

No front parking sensors on any trim level of the 2016 TUSCON. However, It comes standard on the Tuscon Premium sold in Europe.

Haha, maybe you should done your research before you bother replying to my comment. You realise that mazda cx5 akera is 2.2L TURBO diesel, LoL? So, you don't want turbo in your suv, so you want an underpowered SUV? or you want to throw in a natural aspirated v6 and consume more gas?? You realise that this new technology is not just for show, but it's main role is to save lives?? You must have a bad taste in style mate, that front Grill on that mazda cx5 iS horrible, yuk!! Your comment makes me laugh, do some research before even commenting back please, haha!!!

Haha, you know why you mentioned memory seat and nothing else?? Because that's what mazda cx5 has only got over the hyundai tucson, haha big fail !! Does mazda cx5 have, rear air vents?? Does it have automatic tailgate?? Does it have a Gigantic panoramic sun roof?? Does it have a heated and cooling seats?? Can you fold the rear seats back?? Does it have automatic wipers?? Does it have adaptive headlights?? Does it have lane assist?? Mazda cx5 has a small boot space....it's underpowered.....you have to manually open the boot....that front grill makes me sick.....and mazda has the dangerous Takata airbag?? Dude your not going to win, so just please don't embarrass yourself even more, haha!!

Omg, mazda cx5 akera does have memory seat I should know because my brother inlaw has the new mazda cx5 akera. The reason why you don't care that mazda cx5 doesn't have rear air vents because you can't have it on a mazda cx5 and its not even an upgrade option, fail haha!! Mazda cx5 is the only mid size suv that doesn't have power tailgate and mazda cx5 cost more then most SUVs??? A mid size Suv that you pay more then $50k top of the range here in Australia that's doesn't have power lift gate, rear air vents should be standard for that price?? Again your only hating on the panoramic roof because again mazda cx5 can't have it, not because you don't like it, fail haha!! Its like would you buy a 30inch lcd tv or a 70inch lcd tv for the same price, fail haha!! I guess you never drive your car on a very hot days, A/C will not be enough to cool your ass, again your only hating cooling seats because again mazda cx5 doesn't even have it as an upgrade option, haha!! Dude u lose again?? Haha!!

Aki Padre The Toyota has the safety tech standard

Really?

No, it can't.

BMW = Bring my wallet 😂

Lmaooo Exactly

I have a 2018 Tucson with the panoramic sunroof... you can stop it at any point... fully or partially open.

+TOmm Ng Yes, we are moving toward filming all the new reviews in 4K

It's awful for me. Started at only 80,000km now I have 109,000km on it and it's like the transmission is slipping when trying to get up a hill. Or zipping around a slower driver. Sometimes just getting through a green light it lags so badly. I feel like I'm going to get rear ended

@@biffybilliamson Have you done all the software updates for the car at the dealer?

@@Overonator it was just at the dealership a month after I bought it. They had it for 3 months. It only had 80,000km on it at the time. They had to replace the catalytic converter and the turbo fell off when they went to replace the catalytic converter. So after they put it back together. They told me they did an update. But I don't know to what extent. I think I'll take it back and see if they can update something specific to the transmission module or whatever the hell they do. It's getting scary. I'm thinking about ditching it..

Yes you can. There is a setting for it.

It is smaller than a crv and RAV4. Hyundai also has a Santa Fe sport which is a little larger than the crv. It's all in what you are looking for.

***** But he specifically designed the Tuscon.

+Fade Away The man did an amazing job with the 2011 Optima.

+Jonathan A Peter Schreyer became a president and chief of design for both Hyundai and Kia in 2014.

My parents own a 2015 CX5 with the 2.5, and they absolutely love it. It has some get up and go, its much, much quicker than there underwhelming little Suzuki SX4, and it gets better fuel mileage. I personally prefer Hyundai, they have considerably improved, I own a 2008 Sonata with 203k, and it runs perfect. There turbo engines have proven themselves to be pretty reliable, minus the one in the Genesis Coupe, which is actually sourced from Mitsubishi so its not a Hyundai built engine. The RAV4 is super reliable and has good resale. Depends what you want, if you want power than go with the Hyundai, if you want resale go with the Toyota, and if you want a little bit of both the CX-5.

+iDrive4fun93very helpful. thanks for your insight. thx

+alexandergoldman np, not trying to sound like a know it all, but just speaking from my personal experience.

+iDrive4fun93 of course. im not that cynical and definitely appreciated you sharing your experiences. again, thx

+alexandergoldman hahahaha thats what I figured, but there are definitely a lot of cynical people on RU-vid, so I was just clearing it up lol! Np man, and have fun car shopping!

+Sahal Mullan We're expecting to get a Maxima in either Dec or Jan for testing. Stay tuned :)

Benjy Warren, It is probably most likely due to the more, fuel efficient tuning of the Hyundai Tucson. The Veloster Turbo is a lot more performance oriented. :-) -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"

Jim Machow is this a serious post?
