One of the major changes for 2024 is that the first two levels of Blue link are now complimentary for the life of the vehicle. The navigation piece is free for 3 years then $25 per year after that. Having just paid $500 to renew for 3 years on my 2021, that is huge for long term savings.
My sister has a white 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL with the convenience package. She got hers last year on August 10th. She is loving it she sold her 2018 Toyota RAV4 to get her Hyundai Tucson.
One thing I like most is how the infotainment displays fits well into the dash rather than looking like a tablet jammed into the dash. Also they are amazingly efficient with interior and cargo space for the car size. I rented an sel gas model last year and found it very pleasant all around to drive in.. though I’d want the hybrid for more power. I just wish the PHEV version had a heat pump.
Great review guys, thanks. I just bought a 2024 SEL+Convenience and we like it a lot. It does not have wireless charging like you said it did in the video, but it does allow for playing music from our phones wirelessly simply by pressing the media button so if you don't need Android or car play around rown, no cable is needed.
It does have wireless charging, I have the 2023 SEL+Convenience... you either have it turned off in the options menu, or you didn't put it in the right spot. It leans on the back of that bay, not on the floor... it's almost out of sight of the driver if it's on the wireless charger... it's definitely there, you just put it in the wrong spot or have it turned off in the options menu.
I hate the way these new foreign cars are putting the rear turn signals and reverse lights waaaaay down on the bottom. For safety reasons, they should be eye level, like the brake lights. I'm really surprised NHTSA lets them do that.
For safety reasons you should stop tailgating and riding people's A$$'s... do you realize how much you're riding someone's ass if you can't see their bumper? You're a hazard if you can't see the bumper of the car in front of you, go to driving school.
Great stuff! Always astounded (sarcastically) that everyone talks about the Tucson's exterior angles as if they are 'crazy' and 'out there' but no one bashes the RAV4 for it's out of balance and ugly looking exterior angles and cuts. More Toyota and Honda bias. Maybe in 1998 that was valid, but no long should the Japanese Big Two get a pass in reviews. Drives me bananas.
And the interior is bottom of the barrel in the RAV-4. Lots of money to pay for a notion of engine reliability. I prefer having an engine attached to modern technology, quality materials, and cutting edge design on the outside and inside. I don’t want to drive the same vehicle for much more than 5 years anyway. Especially if it were something already outdated like a CR-V or RAV-4. No thanks.
@@sandhunba. Edmunds has rated Kia and Hyundai higher than Honda and Nissan for a few years. I’ve had 2 Kia’s (Sorento when I lived in the snow; Sportage when I lived in the sun) and one Hyundai since 2003 and never had any problems.
@@sandhunbaIn my eyes, the interior of the CR-V is acceptable. The RAV4 is something I could never live with and feels like it was made from child toy grade plastics. Both still have the hideous stick on IPad style infotainment. 💁♂
What an amazing review!! Especially appreciated the breakdown of what was included/not included in the different trims as well as the measuring of the trunk space 👍🏼
I just had to rent a Toyota Corolla while suffering my first warranty issue ever in my history of Hyundai ownership. It had wireless Apple CarPlay, which my Elantra limited Hybrid doesn’t. I have ask - what’s the big deal? Without using it at all in my Hyundai I can get my calls via Bluetooth, my nav with the excellent Hyundai nav system, and listen to all my music via Bluetooth. So - what’s the big deal about CarPlay at all?
That never impacted these newer Hyundai models (it was about their older and less expensive models). Now do thieves always realize that? No, which is why some big cities have had problems with the break ins still. Hope that helps 👍
Customer satisfaction ratings and Edmunds has rated reliability for both Kia and Hyundai higher than Honda and Nissan…and a couple years it beat Toyota (they had an inadvertent acceleration problem).
I’m interested to see how the current generations of Hyundai/KIA vehicles play out in terms of reliability and longevity. They certainly win the prize for best interior and exterior aesthetics.
I have a 2022 Tucson Limited and I recently did the navigation update, and my Apple CarPlay, and android both work wirelessly! I don’t know if it has anything to do with the update or some kind of fluke!
I’m going car shopping next week, I need an SUV for my band gear, but I’m at a cross between Tuscon/ Santa FE, or KIA…… does the 2024 still have the BVM Camera for blind spots? I was looking at a Honda CR-V last week but I found out Honda discontinued their blind spot camera and just has the sensor now like my Mom’s 2019 Chevy Equinox.
I am a big fan of the old first and second generation Tucson. The 2024 Kona is cheaper and has an updated interior which I think is even better than the Tucson.
The Kona is a tiny subcompact and is much more cramped than a Tucson both in seating and storage. You get what you pay for, you go cheap, you get cheap.
Thanks for watching! In this class, the Tucson, Sportage, RAV4 and CR-V all have excellent hybrid systems that make more power than the normal models and bump MPGs substantially 👍
Why? If you can't see those lights you're tailgating like a Mother-F'er. Do you realize just how close you have to be to not see the bumper of the car in front of you? You'd be riding all over his A$$ if you can't see the bumper of the car in front of you.
They are actually very visible. As a driver behind one, you would have to have your head turned 180 degrees backwards to miss them. Even then, you would still likely see them in a reflection.
Ummm... Hyundai does major changes about every 3 years with their cars... did you think there's a major redesign every year? The 2016-2018 Tucsons are all essentially identical... as are the 2019-2021 Tucsons... and guess what? The 2022-2024 Tucsons are all the same... expect a major redesign for the 2025 model year if Hyundai does what they always do.
@@keithnewton8981 This IS the 2024 Tucson in the video... this is NOT a facelift, as I mentioned previously the 2022-2024 model Tucsons are all basically the same. Once again, as I mentioned, the Facelift to the Tucson IS the 2025 model Tucson... the 2025 Tucson is already on the road in Korea and will come to other countries later this year... there are already videos on the 2025 Facelift Tucson, they're out there if you look.
Just leased a 2024 Tucson SEL plug-in. Love all features of the car, but to my surprise, does not have a Homelink rear view mirror. Very disappointing as my 2018 Tucson SEL had the Homelink as standard.
Lolz... I hear you... believe it or not, I had the 2018 Tucson SEL with Homelink mirror and bought a 2023 Tucson SEL w/Convenience which did NOT have Homelink mirror... so... knowing this ahead of time (before I even bought the 2023 Tucson), I went in with a plan... I included the price of the OEM Hyundai Homelink Mirror in the purchase of the Tucson and made the dealership install it as soon as it came in (the 2023 Tucson Limited does have Homelink, and the SEL is completely capable of having it, it just doesn't by default). So... I'm now driving a 2023 Tucson SEL w/Convenience WITH a Homelink Mirror from day-1 of ownership.
@@bobtittle3760 you can still do it... you can either get an aftermarket homelink mirror, or order the Hyundai OEM Homelink mirror... you could even have the dealership install it for you if you want, but it will be out of pocket... I had mine rolled into the purchase price. I'm never going back to a visor remote!
Good review, just subscribed. The doughnut thing, well personally, not a fan of silly stuff like that on car reviews. Why not stuff the compartments with real items, iPads, wallets, phones, you get the idea. Just the facts and move on.
I wouldn't never ever buy another Hyundai product after owning 2 with engine and transmission issues. I highly recommend to search Hyundai Kia engine recalls AKA failures. I was never able to get a new engine under the recalls as they keep denying that my car didn't burn oil. I had to put a quart in the engine every 1000 miles. Even on the new ones they have engine problems. Hyundai's main focus has become the looks to lure the customers into buying their cars but they don't make good powertrains. That's my 2 cents for everyone. STAY AWAY from Hyunda/KIa.
@@newphone3594 Toyota and Honda both have engine recalls right now... the current Tucsons do not... gotta stay with current times, you're living in the past pal.
I just purchased the 2024 Limited all gas and it is amazing. So many great safety features making this SUV a smooth ride. I’m a big fan of Hyundai as this is my 3rd vehicle. 2 Elantras and now this SUV.
I love the Hyundai Tucson it looks better than and basically every other mid-size SUV the Hyundai Tucson in the Kia Sportage are my top two SUV choices for the most affordable
In previous generious no one would compare it to the Japanese rivals. But in 2023 its worth considering and even buying. Hyundai has improved its overall reliablity. I would get the hybrid version for the additional performance.
I bought a Hyundai Elantra in 2018. It's a base SE model with a manual transmission. It's the 2.0 4cyl. I have almost 125k on it and it's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. In almost 6 yrs, other than normal maintenance, only changed a wheel bearing and a water outlet, (it was seeping) total repairs totaled maybe $500. This car has been more reliable than the Toyota we owned, Honda, and of course, anything American. I do not know if it would have been so reliable if I wasn't so meticulous with general maintenance. I use and change the synthetic oil and good filter every 4k. I check oil between changes and add when needed. Change filters, and clean the interior every week. It's paid me back...
@@joeb2588 My current golf is north of 150k never had any issues and runs like its new. Imo its mostly how you drive it and if you take care at all. That and a good bit of luck
@flyingdutchman9053 yah, I get it. Also, I chose an Elantra built in the Ulsan Korea plant as opposed to Alabama. I think theirs a difference in that as well.
Wireless for charging, YES, wireless for phone AA/ACP connectivity, NO... Any Tucson with the 10.25" Nav infotainment system is wired AA/APC only (of course ALL models have Bluetooth for regular phone connections, but AA/ACP is wired only on the Nav Infotainment... but you can buy an aftermarket dongle to make it wireless).
the exterior looks so cheesy especially the lights and the wheels. it will look outdated within 2 years I bet. also the way the body juts out like it has lovehandles lol
Just got a Tucson SEL, my very first Hyundai. Thoroughly love this thing! Lots of room for me (6'1) and my family. No more issues with having to move the seats forward so there's more leg room in the back, everyone's comfy! Drives really well, no complaints here, except I just can't find those donuts! Just kidding. New subscriber, really well done review!
Its kinda scary that the shifter is buttons?? What happens if you accidently hit a reverse, parking, etc button while driving?? Seems dangerous, while you take drinks in and out you could easily hit a button.
Wish you did a separate video/review on the Hybrid, what we are considering. It seems there are enough differences to warrant a review of its own; we are looking for a Hybrid, so that is important to me.
im enjoying mine full hybrid 7 months now every time i use this car im so suprice very nice car its conplete car everything is great price looks advance technology rhat why this is the SUV of the year 2022😊🎉
because of you and your great review I bought a Hyundai Tucson 24 light grey interior and silver outside yesterday on my Birthday I am all excited about it but it will take a moment to study the electronics at least for me thank you Brothers .
One more comment. All these reviewers criticize piano black finishes...but more and more cars include it. It gets hilarious after awhile folks - you'd think the automakers would 'listen' to all the critiques. Unless, of course, actual owners just don't think it's the same big deal as reviewers...which is course, the likely answer here.
Let’s be honest. Without piano black, these car interiors wouldn’t look as good as they do. Accidents can certainly happen, but if you treat your vehicle as it should be treated you will only have a few hairline scratches over time that nobody else would notice. If you pick up illegal immigrants on the side of the road to drop them off at a sanctuary cities, you will likely run into issues.
Great review per usual. I particularly liked the added levity of the recoil of bro 2 kneeling at the rear of the vehicle when brother 1 started the engine and "toast them cheeks"!!
I usually drive crv n now Tucson hybrid sel 2024. My question is the forward collision system is automatic on? Cos i keep looking in the manual n website n still i don't know how this system worked. Can you help please. Thanks my
@@gerrypower8186 My IPhone 14 Pro works great with this charger in a non MagSafe case. I was shocked, because that same phone did not work in my former lease which was a KIA Seltos SX with the same charger. Weird. However, I never use this wireless charger as the placement is too awkward for me. It’s one of my few complaints about the Tucson.
Put the brake lights and tail lights back in the middle where it belongs. Maybe some people like the push button transmissions, but not everyone, bring back the shifter.
I'm definitely not a fan of the Hyundai Tucson and also Kia Sportage rear seats because they are not symmetrical for the side passengers. Whenever I take an Uber in one of those vehicles, I feel like I am fighting to sit straight forward, and my right and left shoulder blades are resting in slightly different directions. I love these twins but this causes it to be an absolute no way for me.
