Hyundai did a lot to improve this 2022 Tucson including increased space all around, nicer materials, better efficiency, etc. Do you like what they've done and would you buy this over one of the competitors?

After checking out all the compact SUV’s I had picked the Subaru Forester until the local dealer had a Tuscon in stock and I was able to check it out! Wow! Very impressive!!
I already bought one exactly like that. Everything is so amazing! The driving is quite assured to me and it is everything I need. Despite of their comments about the MPG of AWD I have, I ended up with the MPG of 42 which is similar gas consumption of most hybrid cars!
Bought a limited 7 days ago. I like the looks and all the safety features. Previous Tucson we owned was totaled in a collision. No car is perfect, but this one has all the features we wanted and more, at a reasonable price.
I purchased the Tucson Elite Diesel back at the end of November and it's the best car I've ever had. This is my 3rd Hyundai and I can't fault them. So many safety features and for the price, you get everything imaginable. The engine pickup is unbelievable....and comfort out of this world. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the new Tucson to anyone.
Inhale had my '23 since October 2022. I absolutely LOVE my Tuscon Limited. This was my first time purchasing a vehicle all on my own. I did a lot of research. Perfect car for me. She is beautiful to drive. It is funny, I never thought I would ever fall in love with a vehicle, but I am totally in love with her. (I know I sound a little goofy here) She handled perfectly in our upstate NY winter, and now loving her in the summer months starting here..
I just bought my New 2022 SEL Tucson. It drives so smooth you can barely feel the bumps. So comfortable. All the features and Designs are amazing.. I do agree it is better to buy the SEL then the Limited and get a couple features on your SEL for more and better performance and better features. This car is amazing. Nice review!!!
Your detailed review is off the charts. Not many folks out there do that at this level, packed with useful information. Throughly enjoyed it, thank you!
This is the review that made me buy my first car which is the 22 Limited in Amazon Grey. Greatly detailed and honest review. Bought the Car more than a month ago and I am so impressed with it. My original choice was the Hybrid but they don't have one available yet. really great handling and safety feature. For what it's worth, SUPERB. Even my husband commented on how beautiful it is both interior and exterior, as well as it's handling. Downside for me is acceleration from 0-60 when you're merging and changing lanes on the highway, it takes a little time but when it does send more speed, IT DOES and can keep up or even gives you more acceleration without flooring the gas all the way down. Tried a little road trip with friends and they're impressed. Friends said the cabin is really quiet. Overall, super happy with this purchase. Looking forward to future Hyundai's vehicles and updates. thanks
If you had held-out for the Hybrid, you would have gotten a lot more HP and Torque... 0-60, passing and acceleration is a LOT better on the Hybrid than the gas version. The two versions are completely different on power levels and very little on price.
@@wolfshanze5980 I'm primarily looking for the PHEV version, but it seems like everyone else is too. Local town dealer said they didn't have any in the pipeline. I'll be checking with some dealers in the city nearby but honestly I'm not expecting to find one available within the next couple of months or so.
@@kersplat12785 the plug-in version is very limited and geographically bound in the US (at least for 2022)... it's basically only shipping to states or cities that have already invested in plug-in stations... so, if you live in someplace like LA, they ship there, if you live in say, Montgomery Alabama, probably not so much.
@@wolfshanze5980 I live in the Pacific Northwest. EV Infrastructure is decent, not amazing. Currently own a 2016 Fiat 500e that was only sold In OR and CA.
I agree in midst of being supposedly funny and look cool other reviewers give half baked information or sometimes just skip the information. Alex on Autos is my other favourite reviewer.
Ran into your reviews online. Really detailed highly appreciated. Really digging the night reviews too. Dont stop what you're doing. Keep them coming. That Tucson sure has been updated. Thanks for the review
I purchased a 2022 Limited and I like it more and more over time. I have found the acceleration to be variable and I wonder how much of it is programming and also getting used to different pedal management. Overall, I find the limited to be better loaded and more advanced than many luxury cars (I have owned many) costing far more. I think it is a great value proposition in that it is comfortable, supremely well equipped and a good price point. Throw in inexpensive (even free) maintenance and a class leading warranty and it is hard to beat. I cross shopped more cars than I can count.
Thanks for this video re: 2022 Hyundai Tucson. I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL in June 2021. Because of the microchip shortage I was lucky to get it through a car broker. I live in Fresno,Ca and it took him 2 hours to find the SEL exactly as I wanted. "Free delivery" 4 days later from Antioch, CA. The Apple Car Play is excellent, the blind spot warning without camera works well and the power is very capable driving up the Grapevine. The vehicle had a lot of new tech stuff which I had to learn. However, this is the 5th Hyundai I have purchased, so a friendly local Hyundai salesman helped me with 2 one hour teaching lessons. I was so thankfull and able to learn and use most tech stuff. Only thing I did not like or use was the Sirius FM. For me it is annoying and costly. Supposedly only a dealer can remove Sirius from the entertainment module. And I plan to do so at my 7,500 mile service appointment.
I’ve always loved the design of the Tucsons but this new design is just amazing. I loved seeing it in person and had no doubt this was the car I wanted. Waiting for my limited Tucson to arrive in a few weeks!
Nothing will happen when your hand drops on the shifter even if you pushed a button by accident. Nervous parents are always nervous about these things. But you need to be stopped and foot on the brakes for any shifting access
I've wondered about this because I currently drive an Outback and my dog is is constantly stepping on these center consel buttons and changing settings
Just took delivery of a SEL Premium. In my opinion this model offers the best bang for the buck. Everything that I wanted without paying for things that I don’t need. I don’t need a car that backs itself out of a parking stall. Word to the wise, if you have the automatic tailgate don’t park the rear of the car near anything that it can reach while opening. It doesn’t take much movement to open it automatically and it will hit anything in its path before you can react. I shut of the auto gate the first day that I owned the car after a near miss.
Your channel really does deserve much more subscribers! Your content is really in depth and perfect for people looking for a new vehicle. Keep up the great work Nolan!
Hyundai has caught my eye with these great features and available space! The safety features are great, the details of the interior are stunning! This review video has so much useful information and great descriptions.
Thank you so much for your review. For me, a car is a car as long as it has what I want. I bought an upgraded SEL after your review. The only thing I wanted was the electric seats on the passenger side. It has most of what you talk about including 19-inch wheels. Your review is awesome.
I bought a 22 SEL with upgrades 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I still haven't figured out how to reset my fuel gage yet or some other features, but I'm glad I found this video.
Love this review! Best review out there, and we've put a deposit down for the Limited in this red, so we really appreciated your review! In all the videos we watched, no one mentions the "wrap around dash". It is a really nice look to the interior! And as for touch screen, my husband loves that!
Good to hear that your husband likes the touch screen because honestly this feature is the one thing that has me reluctant. I worry that auto mfgs really have no clue on smart tech things. My Subaru touch screen has been glitchy since day-one
I just purchased the 2022 Tuscon LTD switching from a Mustang Ecoboost Premium. Although I miss the power of my Mustang I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this car! The technology is incredible for the price. I love the new angular faceted design and daytime running lights! Fantastic! I enjoy driving it very much.
Your detailed review helped me make up my mind about purchasing my new 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited. I watched your review again after purchase and it has helped me with all the features. I am very happy with this vehicle. Thank you so very much!
Update on my 2022 Tucson Brought back to the dealership and they reflashed the transmission computer Some shift points were not correct I guess for our vehicle Told to put in smart so the computer will get used to how we drive it So much better No longer a snail off the line Highway test next That’s a different time
I don't mind all touch control and it looks nice. Hyundai's steering wheel control is very well designed with a mute button. Mostly people want a knob is the quickly turn down or mute. I have a volume knob but I never use it really.
Yes, that is nice enough to make me want that over a Sportage. The 4 spoke steering wheel is actually a nice feature that I had before. When cruising along the highway for hours, you can hold the wheel at the bottom for a while. Physical button and knobs is so much easier to use and you can do things without looking or just a quick glace to get your fingers on the right switches then keep your eyes on the road.
Koreans right now are the smartest purchase vs Honda and Toyota. I got a Tucson 2013 4WD and it's still flawless,the durability has been awesome specially on our crappy roads in Costa Rica. Great review dude.
Thanks for your insight. I just bought a Tucson Limited and I generally like it. My main dislike so far is that I can't lock the vehicle while the drivers door is open using the button in the door. I also would like to see some knobs in the dash for the radio volume.
I have the 2022 Tucson SEL base model and love it! Rides like a cloud and the features are impressive. Mine also has a sporty gear stick. I hate push button cars! The dash board is also much sportier than the upper models with their boring round armatures. For the price you get a lot of car!
I have a 2015 and I’ve been really really happy with it and it’s still a perfect car. The bad thing is the camera is not that great and some little other details were not very well thought out, but I see they’ve fixed that.
I am normally not an SUV fan. But the more I saw this vehicle the more curious I became. So today I took one for test drive. Major benefits very smooth ride, and very supportive seats. Attraction major, the thing is as slow as molasses. You feel if a truck is coming after you you won't be able to get out of the way. The other thing is the radio infotainment system has no knobs. I sold the car because of that, a 2016 Civic. If it meets your needs to grab it it's a nice car, but I won't be buying it. If anything I have to give me a Mazda CX-5 or CX 50.
I own the SEL w/ convenience. Its red just like this one. I did not go for the hybrid because I wanted more power on the highway. And yes, power is adequate. You have to hit the sweet spot and let the power flow correctly. Most reviewers miss that. I am not a fan of the 19 inch wheels on mine. I like their design, but I would have preferred smaller wheels for better fuel economy since they weigh less and take less energy to move forward, plus a better ride. I may downgrade them later. Also, since most of these have been sitting in the sun for months waiting for chips to finish them, you may notice some environmental contamination that Hyundai or the dealer will need to detail out before delivery. Mine was fine, however the windows had some sort of film resembling overspray, that came out with a clay bar treatment. Power is ok and fuel economy is ok. The DRLs have dual mode illumination which always gets peoples attention if you change them sitting at a light. The main LED headlights are very bright and work perfectly, one of best features of this car. Since it is so big, keeping this thing clean is a full time job inside and out, and I always keep my cars spotless 24x7. Be careful not to apply ceramic wax yourself on this, let a professional do it. I tried and it turned out "not well". Had to claybar it out. Otherwise just use carnuba. The nitrogen filled tires are a nice touch, the auto start/stop feature is very annoying if you forget to turn it off, the door locks are hypersensitive and can be triggered with a towel or strong jet of water at the carwash.
Very good, and complete review. Best I've seen.We are considering the Tucson. I'm used to performance cars, so the ride was a bit mushy for my taste. I downright hate the wheels. They look like after-market "Cruiser" wheels. Not very classy. The wife is petite so she wanted a car that was higher and gave her a better view.
Waiting on our 2.5 , due the end of the month. We wanted the Hybrid, but their as hard to find as Unicorns and dealers are really gouging on the Hybrids that are available.This looks like the better value at this time and the dealer is not asking above MSRP! Another thing to think about, if the dealer price is several thousand above sticker, you just blew your hybrid fuel savings!
Hey Nolan, This suv impresses! Very Interested in the Hybrid Version. In the US and China we have this long wheel base version. In UK and other Markets they get 3 inch shorter version.
Nowhere do you mention where this applies. It would have been helpful to know this is US because the prices are off, the model info also does not apply in Canada! Small detail with huge impact !
I shouldn't reverse with someone that close. They can see my brake lights and should be stopped behind me if they can't see my turn signal. They'll figure it out when I go. Non issue.
Pressing shifting button while moving will do nothing. The buttons send a signal to a computer, the computer determines if safe to shift into the gear and if the vehicle is moving, it will not allow the shift. (Info also in owner's manual stating button have no affect if pressed when moving.)
Maybe some of the road noise is coming from the tires too. Michelins never impressed me as being quiet. Good tires though. I’m supposed to be picking up my new Tucson SEL premium in the next couple of days. Got in Portifino Gray. Also got a Santa Cruz back in November in black . Am really impressed by it. Will fit my needs quite well.
Great reviews. Thank you. I especially appreciate the Night Reviews, which I haven't found on other channels. They provided a lot of additional information. I like that you include the IIHS headlight patterns (which I now have bookmarked). Setting aside horsepower, EV range and price, for your personal vehicle would you choose the Toyota RAV4 Prime (XSE trim) or (future) Hyundai Tucson Plug-in (Limited trim)? Would factoring in horsepower (302 vs. 261), EV range (42 vs. 33) and/or price change that decision? Thanks again.
Thank you very much! I’m glad to hear that. The IIHS headlight ratings are great. Without having been in the plug in Tucson, I’d say the Prime. Even without considering those specs, Toyota’s reputation for hybrid and battery durability would pull me that way. With that being said, I feel that the Tucson is and will be a better value for what you get initially and it’s still very nicely done
Obviously there are major upgrades compared to the last generation of the Tucson. However... () Hyundai's practice of taking a vehicle's finished design and slapping bulges and creases here, there, and everywhere before it's released makes the entire look reminiscent of a spaceship from a Flash Gordon movies serial from the 1930's. () Apparently Hyundai designers felt the placement of the headlights in the Pontiac Aztek and the Nissan Juke was worth copying. Suffice to say it's a terrible idea. Here in the Pacific Northwest the spring melt in the mountains brings many tons of rocks and gravel down to highways at lower elevations. The rocks become projectiles aimed at windshields and headlights behind large trucks. And with the headlights placed just above the bumper they're even more vulnerable. Owners of the Tucson would be well advised to put plastic covers over the headlights; they're cheaper to replace than the headlights, themselves.
New owner, 1 month, of a Tucson Limited .....the nav voice has failed and the sound to the radio. Also, there is no back lighting on the steering wheel buttons for nighttime driving and now illumination backlighting on the touch buttons for radio on/off, vol -/vol +, nav, map, etc. I have had this in for service and the dealership insists this is not a feature and all is well with the touch buttons not having a back light for nighttime illumination . I referenced your nighttime review of this model to the service department and they told me it is just enhanced lighting for the camera used to video these features. Am I off base here or are they not well informed as to the amenities of this model?
The 2022 Tucson Ultimate Hybrid in Canada did not include the ISG button to disable the (Stop and Go) feature, I'm so disappointed why Hyundai made it different from other countries.
I purchased this 2022 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate in Canada, but Canadian version did not include the ISG button located in the middle console, I already received a letter of notification regarding RECALL issue, they called it SERVICE CAMPAIGN C0448. I don't know how many more recall with this 2022 Tucson Hybrid
I purchased the 2022 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate and received just two months ago!, I already got a recall letter from Hyundai Auto Canada, they call it SERVICE CAMPAIGN C0448. Your interior video showed the (ISG) button included in higher trim package, but Canadian higher trim packaged is NOT included?
Seems like the US version also doesn’t have the temp control for the rear AC either. Wonder why Hyundai skimped out on so many features of the US Limited version vs Euro Limited?
A lot of car for the money - Consumer Reports gave it a 84 % rating. I would get the hybrid, much faster with the Turbo engine plus electric motor and very fuel efficient...
Would anyone know if remote parking assist need a blue link subscription? Wondering if this option is useless once the 3 year blue link subscription is up.
Just found a design flaw. I had the Tucson parked in my driveway facing south from 11 AM to 12 PM on June 2nd (northern hemisphere) so the sun was shining in the windshield. The temperature was only 65° (Fahrenheit) so it was pleasant outside. The inside of the car warmed up quite a bit, as expected, and the shifters for Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive were in the direct sun. They were *very* hot to the touch. Not enough to burn me but I suspect in the summertime that it could get unbearably hot (or dangerous) to the touch. Yes, a windshield shade would eliminate the issue but I thought it was interesting to find this problem. If they're extremely hot to the touch, I'm guessing the wires and electronics under the buttons might not be tolerant either. I have not had this problem with other types of shifters such as the wheel/knob shifter or the classic joystick-type shifter.
Weird that the euro version has a triple split in the rear seat, so only the middle portion can be lowered… e.g. to fit in a pair of skis between two rear passengers. Baffling why the US version doesn’t have this feature.
I do not like the touch buttons. that’s too bad. I do like knobs at least for some things. Also why don’t they make a screen that will tilt more towards the driver? It’s so much easier to see and deal with even with some controls on the steering wheel, I hardly use them. I like to reach and adjust whatever it is I’m doing. A screen that you can just tilt towards you a bit would be super helpful. Also, I like a shift stick. I don’t like the flat surface that you hit a button. Stick all the way for me.
I feel the same about the touch buttons and prefer the physical controls. Good point about the screen tilt, some brands have it tilted a little but others don’t. You planning on keeping your 2015?
