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.

poor

poor; the answer is still the same. We drove from Mississippi to Preston Hyundai in Maryland to buy a Tucson Plug-in vehicle like we wanted. We got taking advantage of and was sold a car that had electrical problems from being damaged by rodents from the chicken houses located across the road from the dealership. We started having problems with the AC on the way back to Mississippi. Shame, shame on Preston Hyundai and Hyundai motors.

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.

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.

Poor experience

Fuel mileage is great, but battery needs constant recharging after every use, rising cost of electricity does not offset fuel economy. Salesman lied about power company installing 220v charging system, so it takes 24 hrs to recharge with supplied charger. We bought this car in the fall of 2022, we were told the 2023 models were not available, the only color we could get was white, very disappointed we were charged a huge additional dealer markup for a vehicle already a model year old at time of purchase

Haven't owned it long enough

Haven't owned it long enough to really base my opinion on the car other than the issues I've already discused. Dents in the hood and the charging system not functionally properly. Hope you're once the deal was completed it was difficult for the dealership to call us back when we had issues

Dead battery - car would not run.

The Tucson PHEV looks great. The ride is good. and seats comfortable. Cabin noise minimal for a car this size. Fuel mileage is good, though I wish the range were better on the traction battery at full charge. The method of selecting displays, maps, sound system and other displays is unintuitive and requires too many inputs. The speakers are poor. I was expecting much more from the Bose system and I'm very disappointed as I like to listen to music when I'm on the road. It's so bad sometimes I don't even turn the system on.

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.

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.

It’s a decent PHEV

Overall smooth ride. A lot of touchscreen controls, so harder to use when driving. Fuel efficiency can vary, even on the same daily commute. The combustion can kick in at seemingly random times, so you may use more fuel than expected (still less than a non hybrid).

Great vehicle but issues with transmission not running smoothly and engine noose

Transmission not running smoothly and engine noise. There should also be an option to remotely start the engine only. Both ways through the key or the app, car is on but running on ev, engine doesn’t turn on. There should be an option which turns the engine on also because what happens is when’s you’re driving 60 miles and hour and ev runs out, engine kicks in and is completely cold at that point

would be 5 stars if paint wasn't touched up prior to delivery

This is by far a fantastic vehicle with the exception of the paint being marred and touched up prior to delivery. The dealer is refusing to correct this issue thus far. Otherwise it has fantastic technology and safety features and functions.

Overall great, some quirks

Very quiet smooth ride. Decent fuel economy for a PHEV. Push button transmission is for the birds - too distracting and cumbersome to use - needs a real shift control! Would appreciate some knobs for radio and climate systems - too distracting to use the screen for everything.

Purchased extended warranty because of all electronics. Looks good, nice ride, reasonable electric and gas milage, good warranty and good of luggage room. Drives better on the highway manually than on cruise control

Overall great, not perfect

Overall, this car is great. The ride is smooth, it is very quiet inside, and the interior is luxurious. Least favorite things - electric range is short (barely covers my commute), the back up sound is horribly loud and embarrassing, and there is no wireless phone connectivity in the top trim.

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.

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.

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.

Nice car drives well and comfortable interior

Very nice car but electronics can be overwhelming to download updates for navigation I think the dealer should take more responsibility and helping people with out computer knowledge and how to do down loading and installing software
