A worry

published

I love the car, it drives well and tows my small caravan well. But the gear often gets stuck in park, it sometimes vibrates when idling, the door seal has split, and recently the accelerator has taken a few seconds to respond after slowing down to enter a round-about, this is a very dangerous situation when there are cars boring down on you. I now feel very unsafe in the vehicle. Because the problems don’t occur on the service depts test drive they say there is not a problem. I am very disappointed in Hyundai and it’s so called “care”. I can’t recommend anyone buying one and I would like to sell it but can’t sell s potential death trap. I would hate up cause injury or death to someone.

Very smooth and luxurious

published

Our Tucson gets used everyday of the week, and so far it has been great. All the comforts of a luxury car but without the price tag. We bought a large SUV to make way for our growing family, and thus far we have had no problems with it. We love the automatic lights, push start, push button back door and all the tech stuff inside. On the downside, it does fail (at times) to change gears properly while on the road and has a lag in changing gears at the right times. The transmission by hyundai is the major let down. But apart from that, a beautiful car!

Economical with loads of features

published

The Tucson is very economical and has plenty of seat room and a great size boot. Quiet engine and some great features especially the auto sensory wipers and auto opening tailgate. The only things that could change to make it 5 star is the rear seat belt clip could be higher rather than set into the rear seat. This makes it difficult to buckle up and the fuel light.needs to be higher as it can't be seen from seat position used for driving. There has been a number of times I have been low on petrol and I didn't notice the fuel guage light. Will definitely consider buying another when this lease is up.

Great Car & very competitive in the market

published

Having searched the market for a new family car and deciding on the Tucson we are very happy. The Car and it’s inclusions are very competitive with others in the market and has great value for money. One thing we really liked with the Tucson is the room still available to the front passenger despite having a rear facing car seat behind and also the air con vents for the back seat passengers. In comparison with other models we found the air con didn’t circulate well enough for the back seat and the passenger seat had to be very close to the dashboard with no leg room once our Newborns car seat was in.

Duel clutch

published

Driving my 2016 Tucson Elite, 1.6 turbo, took a bit to get used to. The hesitation when driving forward from a stop, is one problem. The other problem is what peeves me the most, the duel clutch over heats too easily. I owned a 2012 ix35 before this car and had no problem reversing. The Tucson sends me a warning continually it's over heating while I'm reversing a trailer up my driveway. I hope Hyundai reviews what clutch they will be using in the next series of Tucsons.

Very happy with my purchase

published

We traded in our very reliable but five year old Hyundai i30 for the Tucson Elite in the 1.6litre turbo petrol version and we are very satisfied. Saved thousands by purchasing a demo with 600km on the clock. Great boot space, plenty of leg room even for tall people, rides smoothly and has a bit of zip to it once it gets going, as it takes a while to get used to the dual clutch auto. Has a good dash layout and looks great ( ours in pepper grey)

Traded a near new RAV4, which I Didn't like.

published

Drives well, ample power (diesel). Plenty of room in the interior; boot could be a bit bigger. Comfortable.Nice dash. Reasonable fuel consumption as low as 7 on a run down the Hume, around 8.4 around town. Satnav volume is too low (turned up as high as it will go).Muffler and engine noise a bit high, but not annoying. Radio doesn't display singer/song. Handles well, especially on corners.

Dodgy Switches

published

At 11 months the switch to activate the cruise control stopped working. I can feel that it no longer physically "clicks", but the dealer says they need to have it for at least 4 hours just to plug it in to the computer to get a readout of the problem (before they can even think about repairing it). About 3 weeks later the switch for electronic parking brake literally collapsed, so now no park brake!
In the lead-up to Christmas had no time to sit in a dealership all day just to get the problem "analyzed", so waiting for later in Jan. Hope no more switches fall apart in the meantime.

Don't get it wet!

published

I purchased the 2017 Hyundai Tuscon and have paid 1 payment; the vehicle has been in the garage more than with me. Due to a design flaw water enters through the hood into the filter and seeps into areas that are not meant to be wet, this ruins the sensors that allow it to be driven over 30MPH. I shouldn't have to worry about perception or if I want to wash the vehicle. It hasn't been reliable at all and I am unhappy with my purchase.

Worth every Buck

published

Bought our first SUV and after a lot of research and restricted budget, zeroed on Tucson Elite and am really happy with our decision. The driving experience is really great, smooth, well controlled and easy to manoeuvre. On highways the noise is very controlled and the features this vehicle comes with is worth every buck that can be spent. The vehicle is strong and even smallest things like seat belts are much more comfortable than higher price models.

The only thing that I have not liked so far is that it needs more revs to wizz it through.

It is really a reliable car and am yet to figure out the running cost.
