Reformed skeptic
My intention, as I started my journey for a replacement for my much beloved 2012 Venza, was to find and purchase a 2022 Lexus RX350. That was the last year for the 3.5 V6 engine. A hybrid of ANY brand was not on my short (or long) list. I found the RX to not be as useful and dynamic as I’d hoped, so I began to consider all other options of that size XUV. Having a friend with a Sportage, I started there. I found it to be more of a utility vehicle and not styled to my tastes. I then checked out the similar-sized offerings from Toyota and Honda and felt they were lacking in technology and any upscale options. And finally decided to consider the Tucson Limited. I first test drove the 4 cylinder turbo and honestly was impressed with its performance. I didn’t like the color of the available vehicles so our sales person asked if I’d consider a hybrid… or at least drive one. That was the beginning of a love affair.
