2016 Hyundai Tucson Car Review by Lauren Fix, The Car Coach 

I know somebody who drives a 2008 hyundai sante fe and her battery died for the first time and hyundai covered it completely under the 10 year warranty. I didn't think a dead battery was covered.

but it gets reduced if it is sold to new owner...bought mine with 40k n 2 owners....no warranty....found that out after i bought it...did not do enough research on it and the double clutch problems.....

Thank you

+Robert Merrill Agree the best looking and best car you can buy in the segment, the Tucson.

nothing beats the visibility of the subaru in the price range (LR is expensive), but i would rather have that than the swooping down roofline (hello headroom?) and the car like rear slope window. this is the reason i dislike the edge as not only does it cut in visibility, but you are also loosing the utility in suv / ute / crossover.

*cx5 over tucson

+Robert Merrill You can't beat a ten year warranty. That is amazing and gives you added confidence.

That's why I got mine with the taupe interior, you get the contrasting colors.

I Test drove the 2016 Hyundai Tucson LImited . I loved it so much comparing to my 2013 Hyundai Tucson GLS I traded my GLS for the Limited. What a huge difference! so many amazing changes. the fact you are a woman who has done your research made me feel sooo much better after watching your video. I watched several Limeted Tuscon videos including yours and they helped me to make my descion to considering buying. thank you for sharing! very quiet cabin , easier to use bluetooth. I bought the Caribbean blue color, Beautiful!

Yeah, stay away from honda. Everyone that I know is always having problems with their Honda car and they are only a few years old.

😊

Yes, you just tap the button to stop where you want

Prob because higher manufacturing costs come with more options. They've kept the price very reasonable on this

+Richard Tracy Hello Richard- I have reviewed the Mazda CX-5 and the Kia Sportage on my account. All 3 vehicles are good choices if you are looking at 2016 models. The key is to Be Car Care Aware, just like you have been with your current Tucson. Maintenance is key. Before deciding look at your insurance rates and warranties.

Thanks Lauren!!! Yes, I actually have looked at insurance on the Mazda and the KIA. Both are very affordable. This could be a tough choice and that's a great problem to have. I'll have to take a look at your reviews of the Mazda and KIA. You pointed out in your review of the Hyundai how the vision was very good. That's gonna be important. Thanks again Lauren! :)

YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE US HANGING WITHOUT AN UPDATE!

I got the 2017 KIA Sportage and love it!!! EX trim model. Absolutely love it! :)

Yay! May your new car take you to new places with new people and open up new opportunities in your life. Congratulations!

Agree with you on Hyundai resale value and reliability. I had a 2012 Sonata with an MSRP of just over $23K. Just sold it this year for $10,500. In just 4 years it's lost over half it's value. Plus, it had 4 recalls in the time I owned it. I'd rather look at a Honda or Toyota over a Hyundai.

Good question..is there an answer please?

I can tell you from experience that this car is awesome on long trips. I bought my Limited with the Ultimate Package on a Saturday and hit the road on Monday to Florida. Nashville to Port St. Joe is an 8 hour trip and it was very comfortable the whole way. My butt never got sore and the lumbar adjustment was very handy. I love the air conditioned seats in mine. Used it all the way there and back. Excellent fuel mileage was much appreciated. More than enough cargo room in the rear. Enough so that I was able to fold part of the rear seat and lay the dog bed on it so out Schnauzer was just as comfortable. One more thing that Lauren didn't mention...... Apple Car Play is a free download from Hyundai as long as you have the Navigation. I installed it myself and it took about an hour at home in the driveway.

+Avin Moorley it should fit without a problem. Depends on the brand, whether it's the front to back or side-by-side

Your best choice is to use snow tires. Like any vehicle, proper tire pressure and driving skill will get you through most conditions. If its ice and snow, get winter tires for the safest travel.

Demi Dinham i have one and its both. Also has eco and sport mode

+Juan Zingarello How do feel about CVT Transmissions?

+Coupydog pretty smooth - much improved over previous models.

+Juan Zingarello Remember that this is the last year of the current CRV design. Next year it is bigger and more expensive.

+tigerbalm 2.0L would struggle in those situations but the 1.6L T is fine. You just have to adjust your driving because of the lag... I'd rather say it's a combination of turbo lag AND because of the DCT. In 'Sport mode" with EcoShift on, you have plenty of power on those uphill road situations.

+tigerbalm plenty of power... bought one and I live in the mountains.

+Marc Jones Nah. No manual. Only Dual clutch and regular automatic. Well in America anyways.

+Marc Jones Hi Marc, you can always visit HyundaiUSA.com website to see all the details & options for each model. Feel free to browse. It appears all US models are automatics. Only the base SE has 6 speed Auto & 2.0 Engine. All the rest are exclusively 7 speed DCT auto's & 1.6L Turbo's.

+Darryl Enault Yes, I know exactly what you mean. The window belt line trim. Also, where's that beautiful red leather interior? Maybe the '17 US models?

+Coupydog Yes. I saw a black and orange leather interior on line and it looked beautiful. Now I can't find it for sale.

Did you Travel a long distance with It?

Have to agree with the cheap plastics on our 2017 Tucson.

+fishman1955 It did have a bit of turbo lag, hence my politically correctly mention of needing more power.

+fishman1955 all turbos lag....

+fishman1955 Don't know if CRDI (185hp) diesel models are offered in US. But I think those are more sensible option, in Europe at least. You get even better mpg and identical performance.

+Lauren Fix would this be more fuel efficient than the Kia Sportage?

+security base It would be the same for the most part.Drive both before you decide.

+Richard Tracy Hey if you buy a Sportage it's pretty much the same as the Tucson. Same engines same suspension and the Chassis on both are of the same platform. The only differences would be the interior and exterior design so it kinda comes down to which style you prefer at the end of the day.

Thanks for the feedback on that! I wondered if that might be the case. Both vehicles look really nice!

Richard Tracy​ You're welcome. I currently have the Tucson and it's a great vehicle. It handles well and the ride is although a tad stiff at times its pretty forgiving.

I think I'm actually leaning toward the Tuscon. I love the design.

You'd be making a wise choice in my opinion. And from what I've noticed of the past tucson they're pretty reliable and relatively cheap to run
