Today on Buckle Up I (Harry) have had to edit this video THIS MORNING because somebody (Jasper) forgot it was supposed to be his review and has gone on a mini-break without it being ready. As you can see I am totally chill about this so I won't be changing this video's description until he deposits £30 into my bank account.
Competing against the likes of the Kia Sportage, Nissan Qashqai, MG ZS, BMW X3, Audi Q3, Skoda Kodiaq, Seat Ateca, Volkswagen Tiguan, Mercedes Benz GLC, Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Volvo XC60, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Renault Kadjar and the Lexus UX, why is it the Sportage fares so well? In the competitive mid-sized crossover segment it's a race to the top in terms of tech, price and economy - so how does it do?

I got my plug in tucson in January. N line in shadow grey. I love it, a round trip to my work 52 miles with a charged battery i can easily achieve 130+mpg. Country roads. I couldn't justify the extra for the n line S. Really really happy with it. Great review 👍

Thanks for watching

I've bought phev Tucson on August 2022. On full charge I've done between 35 up to 45 miles depends on weather conditions, temperature and driving style. Impressive. Done 16000 miles and love it.

@BuckleUpShow 6 месяцев назад

It's a very solid car

@brush3852 Год назад

Excellent review - thank you! Nice to see such an emphatic recommendation rather than a ‘you should consider it’ type of conclusion.

@BuckleUpShow Год назад

The fact is there are lots of great cars out there, and in a lot of segments they manage to seperate themselves out and each suit a different type of customer. In this case I know that if I were going to buy a family crossover I would buy a Tucson, which makes it nice and easy to be emphatic.

Really enjoyed this review and having one on order, arriving in a few weeks has made me even happier. I’m going to watch this a few times before we take the car so I can get the feel for where things are. Thank you Harry, great review!

Just bought a two year old PHEV -replacing a 2015 Tiguan. We wanted a 4wd and plugin and this ticked the box. Really impressed with it so far.

@BuckleUpShow 9 месяцев назад

It's a lovely lovely sweet sweet car

@user-xf2nk1ji5l Год назад

To be fair Harry,that's the ONLY exact reason I went for the Ultimate and with the black leather and NOT the N lines...so,spot on lol!😅

@BuckleUpShow Год назад

Alcantara is a great Material for weight saving, grip and glare reduction but it's not so good against apple slices or jam 😅

Great video, well done. 8.07 shows digital dials, what is the blue progress bar at the bottom, it looks like it has 0,25,50,75 thanks

@SebaF79 6 месяцев назад

The piano black round the radio and ventilation system is nice still you start touching it easily scratch. Other than that it is spectacular. Have one hybrid non plug in and really nice vehicle.

@BuckleUpShow 6 месяцев назад

That's pretty much the story with any piano black, not unique to Hyundai

@user-xf2nk1ji5l Год назад

P.P.S...And,if you like "sporty",and a really cool take on the exterior and an alcantara and leather interior to match...check out the "N" line, and "N Line S",no more performance,but,the looks are def "on point"...very nice..👌...

@BuckleUpShow Год назад

I do like the N line seats but I think the ultimate trim would stand up better to small children and sticky fingers

@mathieularocque1953 10 месяцев назад

Another comparable suv to consider reviewing would be the mitsubishi outlander phev almost the same range price with a different take on it. Great video!

@BuckleUpShow 10 месяцев назад

Mitsubishi pulled out of the UK market three years ago, and unless they've done something drastic to the Outlander in that time it gets absolutely thrashed by the Tucson or just about any other PHEV currently on the market.

@mathieularocque1953 10 месяцев назад

I'm in canada, the 2023 version of the outlander has a bigger battery 20kwh, bigger electric motor, a 1 pedal mode (like every EV), a power mode which I think was not on the 2022 version) , a 1 speed transmission (instead of the cvt) and for the rest I'm not sure

@BuckleUpShow 10 месяцев назад

I've just looked on the internet and it's a brand new generation compared to what we ever got. The previous one sold well here initially cause it was first on market and then I think they sort of ran out of money to do anything with it so it fell behind everything else. The new (current) one certainly looks much better, but the chances of me getting to drive one are slim unfortunately Edit: Just seen it platform shares with the Nissan X Trail, which we should have on the channel sometime soon

@BRIANFAIRBROTHER 9 месяцев назад

My mate has the mitubishi he wants to get rid asap. As he says great around time but dont think about driving around twisty roads. So much roll and the performance is terrible.

@mattg8205 7 месяцев назад

Hey harry...I am deliberating between this and the sportage. I gotta ask...how tall are you? you actually looked a bit cramped in the back seat, but I had thought both the Tucson and Sportage both had generous leg room in the back....

@BuckleUpShow 7 месяцев назад

5'11" or 180cm, and I'm plenty comfortable in the back of the Tucson

@stzokev 11 месяцев назад

"you won't get a lot of range" - very informative! Can we please get the miles it is ranked to do on battery only and how much it does in reality?

@BuckleUpShow 11 месяцев назад

The way I drive, at motorway speeds 17 miles, round town between 40 and 50. WLTP range is 38 miles. Of course, you won't drive exactly like me.

@obi76ad 8 месяцев назад

Hey Harry. May I ask which you prefer between the Plug in Hybrid Ultimate versions of the Tucson and the Santa Fe and why? (Feel free to be as detailed as you like. I am in nerd mode and ready to read. 🙂)

@BuckleUpShow 8 месяцев назад

The thing with the two cars is they basically can't be separated on luxury or how nice they are to sit in as a driver, however because the drivetrain is exactly the same the Santa Fe ends up being heavier, more expensive, slower and not as good dynamically. The only reason to buy the Santa Fe is if you need those 7 seats/the massive boot but otherwise the Tucson matches it everywhere else and beats it in some places

@safwanakram Месяц назад

How would you compare it with Citroen C5X plug in hybrid? particularly for used car market?

@BuckleUpShow Месяц назад

My natural inclination is to recommend the estate for selfish dynami driving reasons, but between the Tucson's excellent interior practicality, superior assist software, 5 year warranty and AWD I would have to recommend it. Plus the C5X is probably less fun to drive, it's incredibly comfortable though so if you prioritise that or have lots of long journeys planned the Citroen might be the choice, it will also be more economical to run on a long journey. Also whenever buying used go with the best value your offered Balanced with what the resale might be when your done combined with a solid, well documented, service history.

@user-xf2nk1ji5l Год назад

Oh!!,and...p.s!...don't forget the 64 setting "ambient lighting",and,the"sounds of nature hidden in your infotainment system too...totally weird?!,but...*"cool"!😅...

@BuckleUpShow Год назад

Could almost do a whole video by itself just exploring a cars infotainment these days, would be quite a niche viewership though

@BRIANFAIRBROTHER 9 месяцев назад

I think what all reviewers miss is the actual practicality of the boot space. I am a golfer and I dont want to put my clubs in diagonally. I dont want to take clubs out of my bag. I just want to lie them parallel across the front of the boot like Zi can currently do with my Mazda CX5. So today I went to a dealer and walked in with my golf clubs and asked to put them in the boot. Guess what, they easily fitted. So the car is on my list now😂

@BuckleUpShow 9 месяцев назад

I don't think it's possible to overstate just have severely I don't care how well golf clubs fit into any car. I also can't think of any C segment crossover where you wouldn't be able to fit golf clubs in the boot

Always had VW before and last one was a Golf GTE. Just got replaced with a Tucson Hybrid 230hbp. Can’t compare the quality with the VW. Hyundai is a lot better and it feels like an airplane this Tucson. The power and efficiency is superb. Love the Hyundai. So no Seat or Skoda or VW

Sadly I think the front end is HIDEOUS! Much too aggressive. The rear says "Mustang" in styling. No doubting the value for money or the quality, but the face means it is a NO from me.
