2022 Hyundai Tucson Review - Will it continue to be a South African favourite?

[@billytheexorcist3230]

that joke about the bedroom killed me😂🤣 great review

[@NjabuloNxele]

R 700 000 vs R 530 000 top spec Haval H6

[@robkennedy8103]

I’ve just ordered one. I did look at the H6 but in the long run I think brand value and long term resale will account for the price difference. The Hyundai brand in SA has done very well. With everything else being equal, my priority came down to the load deck with the seats folded down and the Tucson’s is the best in that area.

[@zhandrevanrooyen633]

I actually just said this in my comment on the previous guy comments... what do u get back in the long run? but 1 thing is for sure Haval is priced to sell with all the bells and whistles

[@BurnedNerd]

Basically you are paying sooo much more for this car , but in the end of the day thinking of resale value for a car is like plotting when one might dump their partner to keep them fresh for the next person they find.... Buy something you will actually enjoy AND use it for all it is worth because everything loses value... is not a painting... If you Love the tucson for what you get then that is why you should buy it... never for resale, I made the resale mistake with so many cars and never got happiness in a car as I had with a car I actually wanted

[@slowsloth8550]

@@BurnedNerd my opinion exactly as you mentioned it, I see no reason to be a first hand driver of a New Car and then also try to find means and ways of dropping it in the few years to come. That simply means I am not buying for a long hold. The Cherry (7 seater) and the Haval are definitely coming in with a full force and they are really claiming their spot into the Arena forcing the big brands to worry about their pricing - I really do not mind driving the same car for about 10 to 15 years based on reliability and service plan. Comfort is also what I need.

[@SDav21]

Buying a car for resale is silly because they all lose value. And with Haval becoming so popular, the resale won't be an issue anyway. The car market is in such a state that any second hand car has great resale. The same will apply to Haval. Spending 200k on the Hyundai because of resale is the silliest thing I've heard. Sorry to say.

[@arthur-6359]

test driven the h6 and am test driving this one tomorrow. yes the price difference is huge but with the chinese brands, and i have experienced this before with MG (in the Netherlands), it feels like the car is just not built by some one who drives themselves. For example, the H6 has a stop start function, but when it does this, the entertainment system turns off so when you are at a traffic light ,you cant adjust anything. also has material on the inside which just leaves marks everwhere. then it has no volume button or even climate control button except for on the touch screen with a tiny button somewhere on the touch screen, which is super unhandy to use while you are driving. I think this is where the Tuscon shows its better build quality compared to the H6, but will see how it feels when driving it tomorrow :)

[@wavenharper3091]

Used to own a Tuscan moved over to the new Havaal H6 no looking back. More bells and whistles than the new Tuscan + you save almost 200k.!

[@SDav21]

@@vvr881 Based on how popular the H6 is they will not have any problem with resale value.

[@SDav21]

The interior of the Haval H6 and Chery Tiggo 8 makes this Hyundai look a bit ancient. Also the price makes the Chinese offerings much more appealing. If only they came in diesel. It makes no sense that this is a whole extra car more than the Haval H6 and Chery Tiggo 8. For this price you can get a Haval or Chery and a second small city car.

[@jabukatshwa]

It's beautiful but pricing is way flawed, I just hope Haval H6 hybrid makes it here to give us more and better options

[@musamathevula9139]

H6 is the best option

[@Dank-One]

Okay but compare it to any non-Chinese mainstream brand and I'd say it's priced extremely well.

[@musamathevula9139]

I agree

[@allensmith7626]

The term bells and whistles came from the old locomotives and train industry. All engines were named or identifies by the bells and or whistles they came with. The more the better the engine was.

[@buyendala8482]

It would be great to have a review focused mainly on Hyundai Tucson and another video review for comparison. All hear is haval this and haval that!

[@Under_Construction100]

Ever since watching your review of the H6 I can't bring myself to buy any of these other mid-size SUVs for their price when there's a Haval that offers way more for so much affordable price. Not to mention its good looks. This Tucson looks like a combo of RAV4 from the side, Peugeot 3008 from the rear. The interior is pretty nice & the cockpit gives me the Staria vibes. The front, well, not to my taste at all. Outgoing Tuscon still looks much better & if I were to choose between this & the Sportage, the latter is a much better choice. Anyways, Haval H6 you can have my money any day

[@bonjovi7120]

What you save in price on Haval you will spend on petrol🤣🤣🤣

[@daniemare23]

Let’s say the haval gives you 10l/100km and the hyundai gives 7. You thus save 3l or R66 every 100km. For R200,000 savings, you can thus buy 303 030 km of extra kilometres at current prices.

[@Under_Construction100]

@@daniemare23 Yeah but there are other factors to consider as well, when buying a car. Comfort, features, warranty, practicality, affordability, looks, build quality, design, etc. I wouldn't choose a car solely based on its fuel consumption.

I really enjoy your reviews, Ciro. Nanny floored me. I have two Hyundai Santa Fe's. The one is 9 years old and I am looking to replace with the Tucson. Still looking at other vehicles too. Hybrids seem the way to go.

[@Kopsnkops]

This cars exterior looks amazing, speaking of Hybrids, Do you think the CX-60 will be making it to SA?. I mean considering that Mazda is not considered as "Premium" in SA like other Countries, i feel like it will be very expensive in this country for what it is considered as "main stream" here.

[@danijensenphotography2860]

Tiggo7Pro is coming out in May!! This car, along with the Jolion and H6 will make sales of this Tucson rather slow.

[@TheCarFan_SA]

Very insightful review. Thanks Ciro. Just don't think id take this over an Akera 2.2D

[@towerkop]

Thanks for the review! For some reason Mitsubishi is never mentioned in these comparisons (but Mazda is). A real shame as comparing build quality and features they are simply a lot better value, and dare I say so - much better built. I'm sure they will outlast the Korean brands. The issue of slightly longer warranty out the box is a sales gimmick.. yes it's there, but you can easily add 2+ years to most brands for small chance. As an example the Mitsubishi Outlander can be had for price of the 2nd lowest spec Tucson and it's better in every way - even if the looks are subjectively older. (Very good AWD system, 7 seats, even an auto boot lid) If you can sacrifice a bit of space, the new facelift Eclipse Cross is fantastic - and you'll save a lot of money as well. Similar argument for the recently tested Subaru Outback - which was mentioned - it's simply in another class (but yes it's over R700k).

[@bernardjansen6205]

The Eclipse Cross is apparently underpowered, combined with a shit CVT gearbox.

[@towerkop]

@@bernardjansen6205 had our 2.0l eclipse now for 2 years, many loaded trips with towing a trailer with 4 bikes on… its’s not a turbo charged 300kW diesel sure, but never felt underpowered. CVT gearbox is in fact great- had many over the years, Subaru, Honda even Audi’s “multitronic” which works similarly. All the reviewers who always complain about CVT’s do so from a racing point of view- as an everyday normal driver it’s a non issue. I’ve also had “nice” gearboxes in Wildtracks, Everest, VW’s, Caravelle Kombi’s etc etc that broke within the first 40000km for Ford and just past 100K in VW. (Audi at least made 140km) whereas the CVT’s never gave any hassle. They are good for 1 mill km’s with no risk, just maintenance (gearbox oil)… which would you prefer? The point here is that in this class of vehicle, the Mitsubishi is absolute value compared to the alternatives. Give it a try.

[@bernardjansen6205]

@@towerkop thanks, I'll give it a try!

[@sizwedinisesoko]

Less than 200nm for a SUV that size, 115 kw for petrol variants for that price? I can imagine how its gonna struggle carrying 3 passengers up a hill, not to mention a full load. Its starting to sound and look like the H6 is becoming the benchmark of pricing and spec in the mid sized SUV market in South Africa. I can't wait for the updated Kia Sportage to launch, I hope it has a better drive train than its cousin the Tucson.

[@keegz87]

Here you go Ciro! The term bells and whistles appears sometime in the nineteenth or twentieth century, it is assumed that it was in everyday use long before it was in written use. The term bells and whistles may have come from the various bells and whistles used as signals on locomotives, especially describing model trains and whether or not they came with “all the bells and whistles.” However, some believe that the idiom is derived from ornate organs at circuses or fairs. Still others believe the term bells and whistles is derived from the ornate organs employed at early film theaters.

[@SupreemTeam]

By the way guys some cars are for you based on your needs and preferences and other cars are for others based on theirs. There is no such thing as only one right answer especially when it comes to cars. That’s why you don’t find many filthy rich people with Swifts despite it being a very economical car

[@daniemare23]

On resale value: R500,000 car (Haval H6 or similar) looses 50% value over 3 years, you have lost R250,000. On a R700,000 car (Hyundai Touscon) you might loose less, like 35% over 3 years, you still lost R250,000. Yes, the remaining R450,000 is almost as much as what the Haval cost new, but you lost the same amount of money. So starting price matter, always. I never get the resale argument (apart from an exceptional scenario when 1 looses like 10% in 3 years and the other like 80%). On top of that, your finance cost (or opportunity cost for cash buyers) are based on R200,000 more. Over 3 years at 10% (on a simple finance cost principle) is another R60,000. And insurance is mainly driven by cost price, so is another R200-R500 pm more.

[@nokocambelngoasheng9279]

How did you come up with that prediction that the H6 will loose 50% of its value?😹

[@daniemare23]

It’s hypothetical. Just like one does not know about the 35% for the Hyundai. It’s meant to illustrate the point that the resale argument is mute when the starting price is so far apart. And when you also include finance/opportunity cost and insurance in your consideration, you can just not FINANCIALLY, justify the Hyundai.

Bells and whistles' appeared many times in 18th and 19th century texts in literal references to warnings or promotional events. These contexts included citations about fire engines, the Salvation Army, circuses; anyone in fact that was trying to draw attention to themselves might do so using a bell or a whistle. Bells and whistles The current meaning of 'bells and whistles' is different. It refers to items that have a full array of additional features and extras. Cars and computers are just the right type of products to sport these additional features and it comes as no surprise to learn that it is in those technological fields that the phrase originated.
