You don't know what you don't know

I have driven Hyundai for over 20 years and I will continue. I have never owned a hybrid or electric car before so there was a lot I didn't know, I am learning as I go. In all honesty, I think owning a hybrid vehicle is hyped up more than it actually is. It reduces carbon emissions but I don't want to have to foot the bill for it.

Technology and Power

Overall this is a great technology, bells and whistles vehicle in the premium trim. Acceleration is great, it takes some getting used to the difference in electric and gas mode, but it's a great combination and the power is there when you need it, albeit sometimes a second delayed. I wish they didn't put hard plastic in the seat backs, the headrests should tilt, the cupholders should be larger and the storage in the door panels is basically useless. I had the unfortunate experience of a broken AC expansion valve, 3 attempts to fix it, a month of a rental car, and finally they got 3rd party seals and it's good. Hopefully that's not a normal experience. A major design flaw: Don't buy this car if you live in snowy conditions. There is no resistive element in the windshield and the snow and ice build up under the wipers in about 10-20 minutes depending on conditions. The defrost is just not good enough to keep the windshield clear and the wipers working. Another feature note, you only have 31 miles of battery on a full charge. I hope they increase that in the future and add compatibility for the CCS charging ports. So many now are going that way and if feels like this model is being left in the dust from the plug-in point of view. It's still very much a hybrid, but when you consider as a hybrid you get 38mpg in an SUV, they certainly did something right.

Hyundai takes giant step forward

Owned the PHEV for a year now. We went with the Limited trim because it has the features we wanted compared to other brands at the same price. Very nice ride. Very responsive steering. Most of our driving is in-town, so we hardly ever use the gas. We prefer the PHEV over full EV because we don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with no charging station in site.

Needs improvement

With the hype of going electric and saving money on gas, I caved in and bought a Hyundai plug-in. Overpaid the MSRP which was my fault and it wasn’t worth IMO. First Hyundai bought and more than likely my last. Issues with sensors, software updates tequirements that also affects the sensors alerts, front collision alerts that shouldn’t have been alerts then brakes, engine noise, and many other issues. I’m definitely not a fan. Design exterior is good and interior is good but everything else…average.

Great vehicle tons of features

I chose the PHEV to get some of the benefits of an EV without the range anxiety, happy I did. it has a super quiet smooth ride that's very responsive. Blue Link and all of the safety features are well worth the price.

Nice Car, Great Mileage, Long waits for Service and Some Glitches

Car is comfortable and nicely designed. Power of the ICE engine combined with electric engine is great. PHEV mileage for me is in the 100's, as I can commute only on electric. Had 2 issues in first 4,000 miles-radio screen going dark and more concerning ICE engine started blowing oily smoke. Gas seems to get into the crankcase and if the engine is not run much, it accumulates and thins the oil so it blows by the rings. Both issues addressed with computer updates, but it took a month sitting on the lot before dealer could look at the car. It took 3 weeks to schedule a basic oil change. Wait time for service is disturbing.

Too many trips to the service departments for headlights, transmission, and other incidents

I spent way too much money on this vehicle and actually paid a $5K over suggested retail price due to limited stock. Based on my experience with Hyundai and their dealers to correct a safety hazard with my headlights, (that no one seems to be able to correct), and a transmission that had to be replaced and diminished the value of the vehicle for resale, I will never purchase another Hyundai vehicle.

Tucson PHEV Limited

This is a great looking car with all of the bells and whistles anyone could possibly want in a car. Well maybe aside from self driving. This vehicle is perfect for anyone who wants to go electric but doesn't want to deal with range anxiety. It gets over 30 miles on the battery and then runs like a regular hybrid until you can plug it back in. I purchased a limited so some of this will be specific to that. The leather seats are very comfortable with heating and cooling which both work very well. The safety features are awesome. You would really have to be out to lunch to crash this vehicle. It has all of the cameras, lane departure warnings and collision alerts one would expect. It also tells you if you are drowsy and will even put the car back in the lane if you go outside the lines. I used the AWD and Snow Mode for the first time a few weeks ago and the car handled really well in those conditions. The highway wasn't even plowed yet and I didn't have trouble. The infotainment setup is really nice. Everything was easy to set up and stereo sounds great. I like the tube amp on the screen background when you have the radio on. I've used the Nav a few times. It has a big display which makes it really easy to use. It also warns you about red light cameras which is handy here on Long Island. One of my favorite this is the Panoramic Moon Roof. It opens up for the front and rear rows. My only real complaint is the lack of a spare tire. A lot of car manufacturers are replacing them with a flat kit lately. That's fine if you have a nail, but if you have a blow out on a trip, you'll find yourself in trouble and that little kit won't help you. I'm really happy with this car so far.

Tucson Limited PHEV

I love the look of this vehicle and how easy it is to drive. Many extras are included. The problem with this vehicle is that it does not do well in the desert heat. It will not take a charge when the weather is hot.

Over a year now & no regrets.

The build quality, comfort and ride have been top notch. I'm 6'2" and don't feel cramped at all like some vehicles. The features and controls should suit pretty much anyones needs. Plus a few extras like "Smart Park".

Great Performance

As a commuter, I truly enjoyed the time spent in this vehicle. The gas mileage is very impressive for an SUV. Right now I'm averaging 35 MPG. Not only that, but the safety features have outperformed my expectation.

2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV is the best car I've ever owned!

2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV allows full EV use for most driving (near home), but also provides hybrid system to allow long range driving. The car is highly functional, well designed (features, functionality, usability, interior, exterior), well built, and has a smooth, fun drive.

Almost perfect

Besides the minor issues with Media ports and some notifications on the dashboard this car is perfect. I really love it. aA the end of my lease I would definitely lease another Hyundai Tuscan Hybrid.

Worst buying experience I could imagine.

Vehicle is great, the two dealerships I dealt with were awful. I went into the purchase excited to finally buy myself a brand new vehicle. The people I dealt with spoiled this for me, and it hangs over my ability to enjoy what could be a great vehicle.

22 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Plug-in

Preston Hyundai took advantage of me and Hyundai motors will not do anything about it. I can not get any support from Hyundai Motors that will let a Hyundai dealership take advantage of a customer that had brought 2 Hyundai in the past but WILL NOT be 1 in the future.

Best Tucson yet

I've owned 4 previous Tucsons going back to the first one in 2005. This is the best yet. Sharp looking, great handling & performance. I have the PHEV version. Can drive nearly 30 miles on battery alone. Get 35 mpg in hybrid mode on longer trips. Interior looks good and is very comfortable. Controls are relatively easy to use. Hyundai kept most of the knobs and buttons, did not try to throw everything onto the touch screen. My only issue is with the cabin heat, which seems a bit insufficient and inconsistent.

Incredible value for the cost. Perfect balance of fuel economy and ecology.

Over all, a fantastic vehicle. A few nits... Side mirrors Don't fold automatically. Squared off wheel wells are ugly. Unless you're in 'cube mode the odometer and instrument pannel are impossible to read accurately.

Awesome

Love my car. A little nervous about the things people say about Hyundai reliability and the way corporate handles some warranty claims - a coworker was in court for an engine that failled and was being denied replacement for no legitimate reason. Otherwise I'm very happy with my car, I really do love it.

Unmatched Safety Technology & Style

There are so many critical safety features packed into the 2022 Tucson Plug-In, that you will find yourself amazed and feeling much safer when driving. It is also the best looking SUV in my opinion. Being a plug in and not completely dependent upon gas combustion is a great plus. Excellent total mileage. This is my first SUV. What I love is I can see over the hood unlike some SUV's. Great visibility. Many, many attributes but it's late. Everyone I spoke to before I finally got my Tucson said how much they loved it. Now that I have one, I tell you the same, I love it and so will you. Go check it out.
