I have Tucson SEL 2022 for a month. Simply, it's the best SUV. I believe this Tucson will do great. Superior build quality in and out, beautiful modern design, smooth quiet ride, great MPG, industry longest warranty, 3 year free maintenance, and the best part is advanced cruise control with lane keeping and lane following assist! It's so easy to drive a long distance. The technology is just so amazing. I love My Tucson!
HAHAHAHAHHA you make me laugh i guess you got into the Tucson and then bought it...... you never got in the RAV4 at all or you wouldnt writte this...... believe me i tried first Tucson 2023 and then RAV4 2023 bro i tell you the little things that win on my side from RAV4 over TUCSON , back knee space, leather covers , confortable seats , big back space , 10 year garanty , 4x4 hybrid black limited edition 46 000 180hp real power.... with electric 230hp 1y and 6months and not a single problem whatso-eveeerrrr.....!!!!! hope you enjoy your plastic car and hopefully you battery dosnt die or heat up too mutch on long roads ( you know what happens when bateries heat too much )
Your comment makes zero sense. The Tucson has more leg room in both the front AND the rear seats. You can also get it with leather 🤷 The Tucson also has 1.1 extra cubic feet of cargo volume with the seats up and an extra 5 cubic feet more with the seats down!! Toyota warranty is only 5 years in Canada and the USA... Not 10. Toyota hybrid rear drive modules are KNOWN to overheat in snowy situations. But the batteries in the Tucsons haven't had ANY issues at all. The interior of the Toyota is dated, the Tucson looks way way way nicer man, sorry, but nearly every reviewer agrees. As for horsepower and torque, the Tucson has more than the rav 4 in the hybrid version, with exception to the RAV4 prime. You haven't really done any research I guess
I have the 2022 Tucson Hybrid AWD and it is the BEST car I have ever had. The Hybrid 1.6L turbo has much better torque, handling, and mileage than the standard engine. The warranties and roadside assistance blow away their competition
Here in Japan, you can only get a Rav. They only just recently started selling Hyundai's but only online and they are only two ev cars. I always thought the Tucson looked much better than a Rav!
Configuring both with similar specs the RAV4 costs a whopping 25% more than the Tucson in my country. That alone makes the choice easy. Looking at the design, both inside and out, adds to the choice. I can live with only two USB ports. There is something like a lighter to USB plug.
I’m considering buying my first Hyundai (Santa Fe). Your comments on what Toyota doesn’t do outside the Powertrain is the major reason why I don’t consider them. You would compare most Hyundais against Toyota’s Lexus brand and there is a very large price difference there.
My wife has a 2022 Hyundai Tucson limited hybrid she’s had it a month and I’ve got a 2023 Kia Sorento SX Prestige had it 2 months and we are both happy with our vehicles
@@edsgarage001 I’ve came from a 2017 Toyota Highlander and I feel more comfortable and safer in the Sorento same with my kids and my wife upgraded from a 2007 Tucson
@@edsgarage001 thing I love about the Sorento is the panoramic sunroof/heated steering wheel/heated and ventilated front seats and heated second row seats cause I’ve got kids/digital gage cluster with/blind spot cameras and the sound system
Great presentation comparison between the tucson and the rav4 i was wondering if you could comparison with the the hyundai kona vs Toyota corolla cross hyundai sonata vs Toyota camry and hyundai elentra vs Toyota corolla
ED you do a great job explaining every vehicle . If your dealership was in New Jersey Would come and look you up to purchase a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited hybrid .in the states I can’t find a Tucson that is not priced $2000-$5000 over sticker price. One salesman told me they won’t have a full inventory of Hyundai cars For at least 15 to 17 months so I guess I have to wait till then .
It doesn't cause any additional wear. There's a motor generator in place of the alternator that's capable of starting the engine millions of times .. it's pretty bullet proof. Plus there's also an oil pump that's designed especially for this system to prevent dry starts. When auto start stop was a new thing, 20 plus years ago, sure there may have been some issues. But these days it's a well thought out way of saving 3-6% fuel.
I own a limited tucson, previously a limited turbo santa fe, a limited veracruz, and a limited palisade. All fantastic vehicles. The palisade was my favorite. But the tucson is a really fun car with great options. My wife has a rav limited and the options very, daughter has a rav limited and both came with different options and said remote start but only with app. I have blue link and the options to start your car with app are incredible. 4 different modes summer, winter.set the temp, on vehicle, seats ,defrost ect also cooling for summer !!!! Seats , AC. Will never buy a Toyota again.
No, The 22 uses new engine/transmission combos, that have been great. The prior years, had a 2.0 or a 2.4 that had some troubles. And earlier they also had a turbo 1.6 that was good, but it was paired with a dual clutch transmission that just wasn't robust enough for an SUV.
I don't know about this. Your not comparing fairly. The Tucson limited has charging ports in back. The hybrid seats don't fold completely flat. The US Tucson headlights won't shut if left in the on position. Really need a Limited and a Prime comparison. In any event the Tucson if far better every way including price. Good video but the Audio is unbearable.
At the price point, the Tucson only has two ports to the Rav's 5. I'm not comparing hybrids The Tucson's lights absolutely shut off when in the on position when you shut off the car and lock the doors. 🤷
Good video compariison, but you fudged on the 50" rear Tucson seat measurement by 1". I agree Hyundai is among the best if you just take the warranty and the High Strength Steel % and Albert Biermann's influence I think they make outstanding cars as I'm still today driven a 2006 Sonata LX and had a chance to drive my wife 2022 Hyundai Tucson Blue Hybrid (trading in 2010 pilot) I'm proud of her picking Hyundai without me involved. Note I still drive in 2022 a 2006 with 205K miles. The 2006 has saved my butt at least three times in the way its stability control works. It saved a major crash by under an inch with trusted stability. There really are no other cars I would trust so much , looking for my next Hyundai/Kia/Genesis/Ioniq the makes me feel like its an upgrade over what I already drive daily. I think Hyundai lost its way between 2011-2020 with some serious engine issues. Now they fixed that. I still drive my 2006 because I trust it with my life and other lives. I pride myself in driving one of the first Alabama plant Hyundais the were primarily assembled in USA as one of the first people in the USA to drive it. Keeping ny sights on 2023 Sonata N -line and 2023 Ioniq6. mayvbe a 2023 G70 but Mpg seems to fail. I fixed the AC on my 2006 so no hurry. Nice to still drive a car that looks and performs better than most.
With more and more people driving SUV’s over hatchbacks & sedans, I think it’s a flawed design for Hyundai/ Kia to be mountain the turn signal indicators so low on the bumper when up close you are not going to see we there they are on or not, so I think its a more sensible idea for Toyota to keep their turn signal indicators up high with the rest of their tail light cluster.
@@jacksonndoll5055 Other cars such as the Kia Cerato have this too (indicators in the lower part of the bumper) which i dont like for safety reasons, but this was not the car being reviewed. Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh.
I believe that hump in the roof is a roll bar. The only thing that I wish Hyundai would do is match or better the PHEV with 300 hp and at least the same size battery. That being said I prefer the Tucson and the Santa Fe.
Yeah the Tucson has stronger pillars thanks to Hyundai's usage of advanced high strength steel. Power on the Tucson PHEV isn't that bad though, and I have to agree with Hyundai's reasoning for the size of the battery. It's sufficient for *most* people's day to day needs. Plus a smaller battery means a lower price.
I have a 2019 Tucson with 38,000 miles on it and it looks great. I had to call AAA three time over the last few months. I had two knock sensor replaced and they both failed and the engine light is still flashing and slow speed to protect the engine from failing. I’m lucky my dealership is so nice. A few days before Christmas they gave me a loner car until they can find out what’s wrong with this car. He said they might replace the engine. Thank God it’s under warranty and I have a car to drive straight to Toyota to trade it in. I would say this was a great car when I first got it. Good luck to everyone I know many people have better luck.
That's a bad engine. Hyundai has extended it's engine warranty for life to cover that issue (in the Tucson sonata and Santa Fe) The new Tucson's don't have that engine at all anymore. Despite the history, I'd still go for the Tucson, it's just soooo much nicer.
That's a great question, unfortunately it's difficult to answer as this generation of Tucson only started in 2022. The previous generation of Tucson had its issues, but so far this generation has been pretty good. But it's not really possible to predict its reliability. Hyundai has climbed the reliability ladder though, according to JD power and associates, Hyundai is well above average for quality and reliability.
Toyota build quality fell out of bed years ago, still own my 99, but they are nowhere close to the same today. Cheap is the word for a premium price tag.
You are bashingToyota. but if warranted, do it. Towing capacity is not always dependent up on engine/trans; body/suspension has a lot to do with it. I have read the Tucson has a 10/100K powertrain warranty. Lane keep assist won't allow me to bash the car next to me if needed? No good. Would never drive with headlamps ON during day unless raining. Welded joints are normally stronger than bolted joints, in great part because their material does not have the perforations needed for bolted joints. The manufacturing process is the determining factor when it comes to joint strength: bolted joints offer simplicity, but welded joints provide higher strength. Decent review, but a lot of BS in the build and technical statements. Do appreciate the info on the interior functions and yes, good to see differences in the Toyota, but you are bashing it. But you should if you sell the tucson and not a Rav4. You're just a salesperson. As stated, the RAV is the lowest model, they do offer a bigger screen on next levels. Not a fair comparison. Confused, what does the TPMS system have to do with a radio unless you have another meaning to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as required BY LAW? Don't get me wrong! I have looked at quite a few of these type vehicles and would take a Tucson over the RAV, but still out to lunch on the Outaback and maybe new 2023 CR-V Honda.
Thx for the comment, Some clarification though..... I'm not really bashing the Toyota, only pointing out a few things I dislike about it. They're still an incredibly good, reliable vehicle. But i think the Tucson is better in many ways. Pretty much every driving instructor these days will tell you to turn your headlights on at all times of the day. And in some places, you'll actually fail your driver's exam if you don't! If you don't turn on your headlights, you won't have tail lights on. Tail lights are important in any weather. Until the government makes day time running lights in the rear mandatory, then I'll continue to make this recommendation. For the towing capability, why it's lower on the rav4 doesn't really matter.... It's still lower Lane keep assist can't overpower you, so if you wanna bash the car next to you, you can. As far as weld points, the Tucson uses a single stamped piece for the doors, and as good as welds are, they're not as good as just solid single pieces of steel. That was the point. What was the BS you were referring to? I don't BS, everything I say is what I've learned either from Hyundai training, or experience. I make it a point to be as factual as possible. Not fair to call me "just a salesperson" without actually knowing a bit about me. I'm actually quite knowledgeable in regards to the mechanics of vehicles as well. Check out one of my other channels where I show how to repair vehicles: m.ru-vid.com/show-UCfdjocXqqo_I-h3X9LCHIPQvideos I've done engine rebuilds, swaps, transmissions, drive line repairs, electrical system repairs, differential rebuilds... Etc. I've even done custom design work. I'm hardly "just a salesperson" The reason I compared to this particular Rav4, is because for the same price (even less actually) per month... You could have the Tucson shown. Plus, it was all I had at the time. But people compare based on pricing, so it made sense to do so. Plus the next model up on the rav4 doesn't have a bigger screen either 🤷 I'm not sure what you meant about the tpms system though. I never said anything about it being part of the infotainment system. I literally said right before I mentioned the tpms system "as far as the other features go" In Canada, tpms system isn't a requirement yet. The rav4 didn't have it.
@Ed's Garage At first, when I read that person comment, I was a little bit upset with the unfairness of it, however, I'm happy he/she did so, now we learn a lot more about you. Also you did not brag, but the opportunity avails itself. I personally think your reviews are very fair and to the point. No bashing, just likes and dislikes.
Both are good vehicles. If you don't buy and own a Rav4, you won't realize how pointless a video comparison is. The Rav4 just feels better all around. The seat, getting in and out, the acceleration, the brake feel, the stability on hwy, the buttons, the actual knee room, and quality that will absolutely outlast the Hyundai. The rav4 in this video is the lowest trim. The next level has tons more features and more equal to the Tucson. You'll need a 2.5 Santa Fe to better matchup to a Rav4. That's what I did.
Aside from "they're both good vehicles" I couldn't disagree more. I think I was pretty fair with the comparison. Sure the next model up in the rav4 has more features then the one in the video, but it also costs more and has a higher interest rate. Hyundai's warranty is better too. If you watch the entire video, I point out the actual build quality differences in several spots. Hyundai isn't what it was 10 years... Or even 5 years ago.
I just went ahead with a Tucson. Our base spec Tucson has like a lot of features, it's basically an SEL with 18inch rims 🤣 and is around $23k USD. The base spec RAV4 in our region goes for $40k USD, and yes, that's base spec. Toyota prices is stupid in our area 😂
Can you argue with any individual point that I made? I happen to like Toyota, but while they're great at making vehicles reliable, they seem to have given up on innovation, design, etc. They're resting on their laurels, and that's not just my opinion, it's pretty much an agreed upon fact at this point.
I do work for a Hyundai dealership, however this channel is not funded by Hyundai at all. My RU-vid channel is just my personal opinions. Working for the dealership simply gives me access to the vehicles.
hyundai tucson win everytime.toyota rav4 is fucking outdated and fucking boring to drive, fucking ugly..toyota is not reliable anymore, my 2021 camry trd got fuel pump issue and gauge cluster issue... no more toyota.. i traded my 2012 hyundai elantra for camry but hes giving me fucking hard time. my old hyundai elantra was very reliable and didnt have any issue
I am looking currently as I have a Nissan. rogue and you know what that means. 🥹 But that said - I was torn between the Toyota and Hyundai. I sooooo appreciate the tape measure experience. I was outside doing that to my car to compare them to either the Rav or Hyundai.
@@edsgarage001 I was told that the transmissions were good but the engines were not. The guy that worked on my Nissan at a shop told me that. Is that true?
Nissan=bad CVT transmissions. Older Hyundai 2.0T and 2.4 4 cylinder engines=not good if you live anywhere there's long steep hills. Older Tucson 1.6T was great, but it was paired with a sub optimal dual clutch transmission. Current 2022 Tucson has a 2.5L 4 cylinder and it's been bullet proof. It's paired with a very good 8 speed auto transmission too
