My third Tucson, they keep getting better!
The hybrid powertrain is excellent. Gear shifts are very quick and smooth. The combined 226 HP from the motor and the ICE will get you off the line and into traffic very quickly! Starting with MY 2022, the Tucson got a little longer. If you've looked at the Tucson in the past, but thought the back seats a little too cramped, make sure to take another look. The increased space is most noticeable in the back seats.
Interior styling and function is easy, although the idea of just pushing a button to turn the car on without the sound of an engine starting will take some getting used to (this is my first hybrid). Some reviewers dislike the touchscreen center climate/infotainment system. I don't have any problem with it. Hyundai bough back some physical controls for 2023. The matte finish of the center console screen doesn't cause glare. And unless your fingers are covered with French-Fry grease, I haven't found fingerprints or screen smudges to be an issue. When they do occur, it's easy to clean.
The car is fun and comfortable to drive. Legroom and headroom is excellent, both front and rear. I've been averaging about 35-37 MPG in the winter, but I do a lot of long non-stop highway driving. If you're doing anything that resembles mixed suburban driving, you will make 38 MPG. With some good use of regenerative breaking, I've been able to crack 41 MPG.
