Review | 2016 Hyundai Tucson | Evolved 

Bought our Tucson Sport 1.6T after watching this review (and test driving every CUV on the market) four years ago Still runs like a champ, no issues with almost 50k Thanks!

I could seriously watch a new 20 minute review on a new vehicle by you every day. Your knocking these out of the park. LOVE IT!

One of the best and thorough reviews I've ever seen. This is how car reviews should be👏🏾👏🏾

Man your reviews with a mechanic. The best.

I really do appreciate your reviews. I especially dig the camera work and the honest remarks about the downsides of the cars. Keep up the good work!

seriously the BEST reviews on RU-vid. great job guys!!

I really appreciate your reviews. Informative, aesthetically pleasing and entertaining.

Watching your fantastic reviews, great work and for me the best on RU-vid. CHeers!

4:08 best part

First review I have watched where it was honest and informative without being preachy. I really liked the visit to the mechanic.

I loved your video! I just bought a 2017 Tucson FWD with the 1.6 T and the 7 speed.I agree 100%. I am a happy man. Your video is spot on as to my evaluation.

Great review as always, killing it bro!

Savage; you are hilarious! Love the combination of expert journalism, dry humor and evil streak; all with a poker laugh out loud expression! Just found your page and am a lifetime subscriber. keep up the awesome work!

I just love the way you explain things.

All your reviews are damn good boss. Keep up good work...

another great review, good job. This one kind of ends weird, "just kind of avg" [software]. But it almost makes it seem like you think the Tuck-Son is "just kind of avg". But, still appreciate all the vids and reviews. Best reviews out there.

I love how he types in "stool softener" as his "find" on the navigation. HILARIOUS!!!

I like how you point out things that a usual reviewer never notices because they are too busy going over obvious stuff

Good music, great observations, supreme camera work, your content isn't to be trifled with...

Hyundai and Kia made a 180° with their brands with consistency in terms of quality and design that only Honda and Toyota had a monopoly on. It's amazing they accomplished this polished execution in a short amount of time.

Excellent review!

@savagegeese....Nice review Man....Have you reviewed or planning to review a 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i Sport???

Finally an unbiased review with a pinch of sarcasm. Love it. Keep them coming.

My mom has the 2016 base engine with a few packages and AWD, and as it stands, the quality is incredible. Everything feels solid, fit and finish is excellent and all of the switches and touchpoints feel high quality

Wow can't wait! Thanks!!

Recently discovered your videos and I gotta say, really great job!! ANY chance of a review of Hyundai's Santa Fe Sport with the recently retuned 2.0 turbo?? Thanks and keep up the great work.

You had me at "tuck-sun". I love the attitude. I love the info. I love your style. I'm in. Could it be there is so much room (wasted space) because this is the platform they will use for the Santa Cruz? (If we ever get a Santa Cruz!)

very nice review. thanks. can u do a review on genesis coupe and thoughts on the new genesis brand. (EQ900) aka g90

Great review!! And you're right for the tires... I put some 17" winter tires but man it's gonna hurt in few years when I'll have to replace those 19"... I'll try to go easy on those Cum Ho Crugen Premium during summer ;) !!

Awesome reviews , feel like a kid in a candy store, any chance of reviewing the new civic?

Great review as always. You guys are getting right review after review! I am in the market for a new car/suv for my wife, based on the reviews from this channel, it has motivated me to consider a Kia or Hyundai. I have noticed that a lot of the parts are shared between the two brands, and I could see this being an annoyance from the reviewer that continually sees the same thing over and over. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, it might be worth taking into consideration from the owner's perspective. When we settle on a vehicle, we have to live with it. So the real question should be, is it something that is well built, durable and you can life with it and enjoy it long term. Because the reality is that we will literally see the same thing every day, but it will be in the same vehicle, and when we settle on that vehicle, we won't care if its shared with another model, we didn't buy that model.

Great review and impressive vehicle.

Great review I have watched a few now - nice and detailed. So in your opinion which is better the cx5 or this Tucson??

Fantastic channel subscribed! Would you pick this car over Rav4 SE?

Hey! What would you recommend between this Tucson (1.6 turbo, limited + ultimate 4WD) and a 2016 Mazda CX5 (2.5 petrol, fully equipped)?

it actually helps me to make final decision and im going to pick my 2016 Tucson in 1 week

Can't the lift gate close manually? My RDX has the same tech and I can choose to close manually or not.

Great review. Am stuck between choosing this car over Mazda CX 5

17:15 - what is with the "random" GPS destinations?

Great review! How's the steering? Past hyundais have been dead on center, and over assisted.

Good review as always!....2016 Toyota Tacoma anytime soon??

I had one of these as a rental. I was not expecting much because I had an 08 Santa Fe and while it hauled the family adequately it was not satisfying to drive at all. The rental drove very nicely after i found the "sport" button and got it out of the "eco" mode. plenty powerful, roomy and like I said, drove very nicely. Very car like. Probably the entry model. i would definitely put this on my list if looking for a smaller SUVish vehicle.

The rear looks like the Subaru B9 Tribeca. Great review.

bought the wife an awd model with the 1.6 turbo (we live in a very snowy area!) it's a great car for family duty :)

Do you know if the '16 Tuscon Limited has power fold in mirrors? Have that on my '13 Genesis R-Spec and really appreciate it.

Are you kidding me>>.....my wife got one of this Tucson diesel engine and it's a wonderful car to drive..... safe as a house....we do just love every bit of this

I love Scott's white gloves! He could change my oil anytime! How much does he charge? I need a trusted mechanic! 😂😂😂

When I drove the Tucson I had some serious issues with turbo lag. I didn't say anything to my wife and passed her the keys to test drive it and when she got back she hated the lag. Of course she didn't know what turbo lag was, but she said she'd punch the gas and it wouldn't go for a couple of seconds. Scared her a bit.

I agree with you comments on the styling of the latest Tucson. Hyundai's current vehicle styling is one of he best. Why can Toyota comes up with designs that are attractive and age well.

I just found out something about the Hyundai turbo engines. The spark plugs maintenance schedule (Canada) for the 1.6T is REPLACE every 36,000km. I was really surprised and thought it may be a mistake since it's iridium spark plugs so I called a friend I trust at the service department (Hyundai dealership) and he said it wasn't a mistake. Although he didn't really understand why, he advise me to have one of them CHECK at 48,000km and see if they need to be changed. If not, he would advice to "push" it to 72,000km. If any of you are in contact with engineer staff at Hyundai, please ask them why we have/should replace spark plugs so often on 1.6T engines and share the info here please! Cheers!

Look Mark, I love your reviews, I have been with you since before you hit 100 K, I’m glad that turboski is gone, he was never one of my favorites. But I do watch all your new videos, and some of them have lost the artistic excellence of old videos like this, I’ve gone back and watched a few of your old videos from 2016 and 2017/18, and they are like a masterpiece with beautiful music, stunning shots, almost like Spielberg directed them. I just wanted to give you some constructive criticism.❤

The original Tuscon you showed at the beginning had a nice rugged appeal to it. The new ones look too mainstream.

So getting the base model would circumvent most of your issues with this car.

As crazy as it may seem, i was torn between the Tucson sport and the Outback. I ended up with a premium outback, but it was not an easy decision for my use case. Family hauler.

You made me buy a 2018 tucson limited. And you spoiled me I stopped trusting other youtube reviewers. I'm also from Illinois! Cheers!

Will you test a Subaru Forester someday? Thanks

Were you around the Quad Cities while filming?! Saw you scrolling around Clinton and Sterling.

Agree with you on the switch gear and clusters being similar. What annoys me is I have a 15 genesis, and a lot of the gear from that seems to be getting into their other vehicles. Nice for the lower end cars, but it annoys me. Makes me 2nd guess getting a 50k+ car again.

Kind of confused what to get : Mazda cx-5 , Hyundai tuscon , Kia sportage ?

Interesting. So you say you'd go with a FWD Tucson with snow tires over an AWD even up there in Canada? Here in New England where we get a bit of snow as well, I've wrestled with this FWD with snow tires vs AWD option when considering what my next vehicle (possibly a Tucson) will be. If you're listening, can you expand on this at all? What's the pros and cons of either option in general and how it applies to the Tucson? Thanks. Love your videos! And those cinematic geese rock!

I'm looking for a new medium sized 2 row SUV probably next year sometime. The Tucson Sportage are smaller than I would like. The Lexus RX is on my list although the Ford edge sport with the 2.7 turbo is on the menu too. I'm wondering whether the Ford should even be in the running although it's a bit cheaper. Not sure there is anything else in that class ($42K range). Any thoughts?

"should be sending it to the rear" Immediately sends some power to his rear

The ending of this review is too abrupt. Are you saying the software, the infotainment system, or the Tucson is "just average"?

This or a 16 rav4?? Looking at n/a n both fwd

How did you like that color? I really want a 2017 Tucson sometime the end of this year but I can't decide between the Carribean Blue, Sedona Sunset, or the Rub Wine in your video.

I've driven a 2016 Tucson for about a year now and have had none of the issues with the controls on the steering wheel or the bright LED on the blind spot detection button. I do agree that the scrolling on the touchscreen sucks and the pad on driver's side left elbow is horrible (my elbow started to ache after an hour long drive). Strange that your butt started to hurt... I find the seats to be very comfortable on long drives... every bit as good as my BMW. Plus, how can you beat heated and air conditioned seats?

which one would you choose, tucson or mazda cx5

Nice video :) Is there a model like the Hyundai i30 Turbo in your Country? Btw. "Tucson" is pronounced like "too son", without the "c", wierd, right?^^

@ 4:09 ... Easy there Scott, don't go dropping a wrench, may not end to well. Yet another 5 * review by Mr. Goose.

funny I was looking at replacement tires for this on tirerack... most are about $200 each and more. The cheaper ones don't have good reviews. I am interested in this car... want the limited (for the leather and power passenger seat with height adjustment)... but not the giant wheels!!!

Which would you chose cx5 or tucson ?

Hey Do you have a page for a list of vehicles based on( Best -Average - Poor) rating?

savagegeese : you can turn off the Power Tailgate in the options and it becomes manual. Weird that you didn't try that ? And this problem you have is but on of the only problems that Tucson 2015-2019 had besides sometimes rear door child locking mechanism not opening right away. Everything else on this car is superb in quality and refinement and definitely ages much better (the ergonomics of the interior and the outside chassy) than Mazda CX-5 (2015 and 2020 variants) and VW T-Roc.

So, this or a Japanese rival? (RAV4, CR-V)

Review Tucson 2018 please

Tucson 1.7 crdi 115 hp or Qashqai 1.6 dci 130 hp ? Please help savage geese !☺(both 6speed manual tranny) Ps : the Nissan engine is more powerful but the Hyundai design and space kills it for me.. Can't choose though 🤔

Is this around Crystal Lake/Lakewood? I feel I recognize these roads

Dont you have the 2 Liter Diesel in America? I have driven the 2 Liter Diesel with the all Wheel Drive and i really liked it. The Design is just great. Great Review

Test drove a Tuscon today. I wasn't impressed with the DCT.

As an FYI you can shut off the power hatch in the user settings. I turned off the hands free thing.

Do you have a preference- 2016 Mazda CX 5 or 2016 Hyundai Tucson?

I find the padded knee area must be for short people. I'm 6' and no matter how much adjusting I do to the seat its always about 4 inches below my knee. Great review BTW love my Limited Ultimate

New model review please

I have a challenge for you because I'm in the market for a new vehicle and I can't seem to find it with the specs on looking for. Small cuv Naturally aspirated engine No dual clutch or cvt transmission 250+ HP AWD/4X4 No European or domestic cars.

I heard this vehicle doesn't come with airbags tell me i'm wrong.

so glad you got rid of the annoying mechanic with his negativity

Can you please review the Mazda CX5, deciding between the two

I have the 2016 limited turbo. I experience lack of acceleration sometimes. When I timed it once it was 2 seconds slower from 30-70km/h than usual. Same road, same driving mode. This is an occasional occurrence though. They couldn't do anything about it. After 2 months the air conditioning died. They repaired it, since then the dashboard has been squeaking. They did not put it back well. It needs to be fixed again. Coolant goes below minimum between regular maintenance services. I will ask what they have to say about this. So good luck to everyone who buys this product. This is my first and last Hyundai for sure.

The New Fortes once they come out and the all new Elantra too would be awesome to review!

Its "Tooson" as in Tuscon Arizona

I think all manufacturers should not be able to measure cargo space above the height of the top of the rear seats. Why? Because legally no one is supposed to inhibit the vision required for the mirror.

do you generally agree with the order then? cx-5 > tuscon > cr-v > rav4

Another great review although it would be nice to know which vehicles have extendable sun visors.

can you review the Honda CRV for us?

Moi ses un 2litres premium et la porter est très dure pourquoi

Nice video. I'm with you Hyundai is actually a great brand now. My buddy drives only Elantras it seems and he has converted me. But this car does seem plain still. At least it's good plain instead of bad plain.

Need Viper review.

some tape or sticker can cover that blue light

how does this compare with the CX5?

Trying to decide between 3 Thai spec SUVs. The HRV EL, Mazda CX-5 facelift, new Tucson. The latter two are out in the next few months. Tough decision.
