This is the all new 2019 Hyundai Tucson. This is one of the SUV car in the world.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, it handles great. Not super fast. But comfortable. All around player. Thank you.

[@alisadiq7595]

Nice review... Nice man 👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you sir!

[@johnholst]

I would get the 2L diesel with the 8 speed transmission. Love the power, and that 8 speed is super smooth!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, buy 1.6 is plenty quick with better MPG. Thank you.

[@vogahl34]

That’s my engine. Love it...

[@KrisGelli]

would like to know more about Safety like'Auto Breaking' and 'Self Park' features. Very nice video thanks.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you. Tucson has auo braking, Lane keep assis+warning+auto hold+auto highbeam+adative cruise control with stop&go function. And HDA highway drive assist. So its got everything. Thank you.

[@dheeradjlachman9658]

Veryy nice new Hyundai Tucson!!!👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, it is a.nice compact SUV. Thanks.

[@loosybolt3282]

Saw your vids for the first time, good review and I really love your intro songs. Good job. Ps: what do you recommend, tucson or sportage? Could you please explaine why. Thx in advanse.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

thank you for tuning in. Well, Tucson for me. Because i like the design language better. Both are very similar car with very different exterior and interior design. So, check them out both and see which one you prefer more. thank you.

[@LeadfootLou]

Loosy Bolt - You’re comment was made 5 months ago so this may not be helpful. I was deciding between the Tucson, Sportage, crv, rav4 and the cx-5 Here’s what I came up with. The cx-5 had the smoothest ride. The crv had the best mpg and the largest cargo space. The rav4 now looks very masculine. The Tucson started at the lowest price. The Kia started at a higher price than the Tucson but offered a larger engine than the Tucson on its lowest trim. The Sportage and the cx-5 looked too much like hatchbacks so I ruled them out. Toyota and Honda would not come down much from the msrp. Therefore I went with the 2019 Tucson in red with the SEL AWD trim.

[@GREATNESS275]

Luv your review of this great compact mid-size SUV from Hyundai my friend. Liked the looks of this 2019 MY refresh so much so that I traded in my 2016 Sonata Sport for this Tuscon. I really like this vehicle a lot,...Drives & handles very well. Mine is Black Noir Pearl exterior with Black leather interior in the Ultimate trim with Panoramic sunroof, 8" Navigation system, Infinity Premium audio system and an absolute abundance of driver assistance systems too numerous to name here. I am very happy with my purchase!!!!!

thank you sonata55 X

nice test thanks

[@hemmay]

Asian Petrolhead Just found your great channel. Love your reviews here in London, UK. Which do you prefer, Tucson or Sportage? Which has the better auto gearbox? Keep up the good work!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you so much for tuning in all the way fro UK. I personally like Tucson better because of clean exterior design and floating Navi screen. Thank you again. And we are just getting started so please share our channel with your petrolhead friends. Thanks.

[@hemmay]

Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, I prefer the styling of the Tucson. Still not sure about the Sportage 'face'. It's better than before but still slightly odd. Will test drive both and compare dealer offers. I will spread the word about your channel. Good luck.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you Kevin. I think so too. It still looks too round for me. Tucson looks more stylish to my eyes. Thank you.

We have tucson 2019 but i ask where could we find the hydraulic stick in the engin ? Please

Hyundai Tucson 1.6T-GDI DCT has auto brake feature, by using this feature, will it prevent the DCT from heating up?

i am sure if that will help with heating up issues. thanks for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing! thanks

Hi Mr Charlie, what is your opinion on german cars vs korean cars.

Well, they are quite different. Germans are premium imports for us here in Korea, while Korean car is basically VW for us here in Korea. Thank you Anshuman. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

When will it be available in the Philippines? Im planning to buy a hyundai tucson 2018 this coming december but watching this I think I want the new version.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I hope so soon. I do recommend the new one with Htrac. It is not just a 4x4 system. It also has positive impact on handling. Thank you.

Nice review but wich one is better Tucson or ford kuga ( escape)

[@firebolt2310]

I rather buy a Tucson than a Mecedes

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, it is a nice SUV.

[@gngan]

Not doubt it’s a good suv for its price but there’s no comparison with glc. The refine ride, built quality and luxury interior is what makes me sway towards glc.

[@omgitsme435]

lol what..

[@friendbuddy4171]

It's about affordability 🥴

[@hassanhammouti]

Agree but this is my dream car but im a kid and my dad says i rather buy a Mercedes and i say agree

[@pangpang7202]

Dry DCT gearbox? The same gearbox that killing VW and ford. So they are switching to wet dct or TC gearbox. Can I know how reliable is the dry DCT?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

yes, dry DCT. Well, Hyundai has been using 7 speed DCT on many cars and it seems to be reliable. Thank you for watching our Hyundai Tucson review.

[@pangpang7202]

[@muhammadfikri3450]

How about 1.6 T-GDI engine performance?

[@geraldmiller8973]

you get a little more engine power if you use the drive mode button. we bought the SE model in june.

[@GrexRexx]

Should the car not have been put on sport mode before the take off speed was tested.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I think it was in Sport mode. Thanks.

[@yuniverso2520]

Was it better than the Kia Sportage?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, they are very similar car except different exterior and interior design. If you like the floating navigation choose Tucson and if you like bulky look choose Sportage. Thank you.

[@yuniverso2520]

Thank you. I tested both (2019s) and yes they are comfortable and designs are the different. I am in the middle on a selection. The KIA Sportage has more pick-up and go, but felt it had more road noise. Did you encounter the same?

[@n3gl3ctfounder]

I don’t like the iPad on the dash looks stupid
