Hi everybody, I’m from London UK. I would like to thank you for amazing channel you have! I have enjoyed watching all your clips😊👏 I have ordered my Tucson facelift all wheel drive plug-in-hybrid auto I’m hopeful he will arrive in August😊 Are you aware that the cars in the European market are made in the Czech Republic? Did you know the European spec does not have built-in dash cam😡 It doesn’t have the ability to operate the front passenger seat moving forward and backwards😡 You can’t watch KZbin or any other entertainment on the screen😡 It doesn’t have baby mode feature either😡 When designing your own Tucson facelift on UK Hyundai website there is no option for extras! For example, most people are not aware that the facelift does not come with Park assist, they’ve It’s been removed which is not true! mostly importantly the worrying factor is most dealers are not aware either of the luxury pack which is an optional extra which includes park assist and digital key two which is an extra £600, I feel sorry for all the people who have ordered their new Tucson Fastiff will miss out on this feature😡 I think it’s terribly unfair that all the cars that are made in South Korea all delivered to the rest of the world except for the European market which is built in the Czech Republic and we don’t get the same options that is totally totally unfair!😡

[@marcopolo7121]

In my order it is written that: 1. it is made in the Czech Republic 2. all seats are heated 3. all seats are ventilated 4. front seats with electric adjustment and lumbar support 5. walkin device 6. blind spot monitor view 7. surround view monitor and many other facilities. It doesn't say anything about the digital key and dash cam, but I think it's a software thing.

[@robertchavez2009]

Is the pre-facelift tucson also a full hybrid or just a mild hybrid?

[@Vicnederland]

Hi. Thank you for your videos. They are really well made. I would like to ask a questions. I use the heart manually when I go down strong descent road. Is it possible in eco mode to swift down gear by the leverage close to the steering wheel?

[@CarSceneKorea]

You can only downshift a gear when in Sport mode. In other drive modes, it will just change the level of regen brakes.

[@Vicnederland]

​@CarSceneKorea so to downshift from a big decent i need to go in sport mode. Is there no way from the stick on the right side then? Sorry just to be totally sure. I love in mountain zone amd with previous gearshift you could downshift from the leverage itself without using the paddles

[@Vicnederland]

Thank you very much​@@CarSceneKorea

[@CarSceneKorea]

I believe so, but I don't want to be too quick to confirm on it since I didn't check it accurately myself. The car has downhill speed assist, which will do minimal - if not no - gear shift going downhill. I see the reason why you're asking, keeping the gear on mountainous area is crucial!

[@Vicnederland]

Exactly..thank you very much​@@CarSceneKorea

[@F3nya]

Hi, is the wireless charger in the new facelift tucson with cooling/ventilation? My current Kia Sportage (previous gen) doesn't have it and it's impossible to use, the phone overheats very fast.

[@CarSceneKorea]

It does not have fan/ventilation for the wireless charging, but it has the latest wireless charging unit from HMG.

[@F3nya]

@@CarSceneKorea did your phone get really hot when using the wireless charger during your test usage of the new tucson?

[@CarSceneKorea]

@@F3nya I'm not sure why triggers the phone to get hot, but it did sometimes and it wouldn't the other time. It depends on what apps you are running and usage of bluetooth as well, I think.

[@CarSceneKorea]

@@F3nya But it charged all right, and slightly hotter than when I had the phone plugged fast charging.

[@LanaRayfield-m4f]

Have the the rear signal lights on the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Ultimate been a problem due to low visibility especially in bumper to bumper traffic? Also does this vehicle have dashboard camera?

[@LanaRayfield-m4f]

I forgot to add the year - 2025

[@CarSceneKorea]

Some say it is problematic and I feel where they are coming from. It is even lower than the pre-facelift unfortunately. 2025 model does provide BVM: Blind-spot View Monitor.

[@LanaRayfield-m4f]

I appreciate that there is BVM however was wondering if there have been many rear-end accidents due the rear signal lights low visibility. We have ordered the 2025 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate but now becoming concerned. What is your opinion. Also do you know why Hyundai placed the signals so low on bumper

[@lorenzo4262]

Hello, 14.7 km/l is good? You drove stressing the engine or in eco mode? Is this the best this car can do? Which km/l can i expect driving in a freeway at 90 km/h?

[@CarSceneKorea]

Nah, the car will certainly do better than that when driven by those who can. I never get suggested fuel efficiency on any car.

[@MR-fu6yt]

Have you driven the NLine hybrid version? I’m interested to know a couple things about it compared to the non NLine version. I’d like to know if the engine has been tuned or modified in any way to alter its performance. And also I’d like to know your thoughts the leather seats since the center section is suede. I really don’t know the pros and cons of it.

[@CarSceneKorea]

There is no performance difference when it comes to Tucson N-Line. The only car that has such difference is Sonata and that’s it. The suede seat does feel different indeed, it provides more grip to your body against the seat like Alcantara seats. It is different. I can tell you that. But nothing too significant. However, I do recommend that you give it a try. There must be some Hyundai cars with such seat seats in the show room.

[@ajlsrv5490]

Why did the rated fuel mileage get worse since my identical 2024?

[@zekew7546]

Do you know if US-sold 2025 Tucson (which apparently does not have option of “Cam-2”) can be modified by US dealer or third party installer to add equipment equivalent to the Hyundai/Kia Cam-2 equipment? Thanks.

[@CarSceneKorea]

I mean, nothing is impossible when it comes to cars with infinite budget, but it will be a very risky move since it most likely would void the warranty.

[@androidnumber1727]

question, does it have a smart cruise control with stop and go function? when will it be release to other asian countries?

[@CarSceneKorea]

HDA: Highway Driving Assist does that, but is meant to be used on the highway as the name suggests + Hyundai describes it as a driving aid, so driver's attention is always required.

[@marcopolo7121]

Hello, I ordered a New Tucson 2025, Plugin Hybrid, Luxury NLine, 4WD. I am from Romania and the car is manufactured in the Czech Republic. I couldn't find the detailed specifications anywhere. Can you help me with a link? Thank you.

Thanks for the kind comment, great seeing people enjoying their Hyundai & Kia around the globe! 🇬🇧

[@craighart1496]

I have a couple of questions please. If you disable speed limit assist does the current speed limit still get shown on dash, and does smart cruise control still work properly ?

[@CarSceneKorea]

Such functions could vary from a market to another - is the best one I can think of sry 😭

[@craighart1496]

@@CarSceneKorea thanks, this all relates to the fact that ISLA defaults to on every time you start the car in Australia, just like the EU. And to stop the annoying alerts you need to set it to off. I did notice the gen6 ui in latest Tucson may have a new way to do that quickly (read in US manual)………Press and hold the Mute (é) button on the steering wheel to switch from Speed Limit Assist (or Speed Limit Warning) to Speed Limit Info, or switch from Speed Limit Info (or switch it off) to Speed Limit Assist. …….if this works on all region cars that would make disabling the speed warnings simpler. Cheers

[@malinchimarian8271]

Hello there! I think I saw in a video with the new Tucson that in Korea the Tucson is sold with option mirror down. I had a Vw Jetta 2017 and it had this option. I am a bit disappointed that the Tucson doesn’t have the option.

[@CarSceneKorea]

Yes, options do vary, depending on a market to another unfortunately.

[@malinchimarian8271]

Hello again! I noticed that at 100km/h up a have a wind noise at my door, at my left ear exactly. It sound very annoying. I have the style version with double glass only in front! I spoke with other Tucson owners and they didn’t experience the wind noise. Do you know that the wind noise is common on other Tucson?

[@CarSceneKorea]

Not something I could comment on, since there's so much to consider. The best answer I can give is visit your dealership and have them checked.

[@Mikesh199]

Again thanks for the review.

[@CarSceneKorea]

My pleasure!

[@Sunny-3]

Beautiful Car... not happy that the UK N-Line does not get the 360 cameras/HUD/fingerprint start/ Bose/Krell audio or Gloss finish wheels! It makes no sense that the lower Premium version gets the Krell Audio but the higher N-Line version just gets the standard 6 speakers/ no amp or sub?

[@CarSceneKorea]

Hope Kia UK would read this comment 🥲

[@danny.ray101]

I really like the black/light grey interior of your Tucson and I have seen similar Sportage interiors on the internet. However, when I use the car configurator of my country, both cars only seem to offer full black interiors. Do you happen to know, if this restriction is just a car configurator or actually a country issue?

[@CarSceneKorea]

Many variables there including everything you've listed. Consult with your local dealer for precise info 😭

[@lucianolg1721]

Hello friend, I am from Chile. I am very interested in acquiring this new version of Casualidas Sabras if it comes on the way to Latin America or Chile especially.

[@CarSceneKorea]

I'm sorry bro, I don't think I can help you with that. I just review cars atm 😭

[@johna5428]

I parked my 2024 Tucson hybrid in the garage for three weeks was in Tokyo got back to Toronto and it was completely dead. Got it going by taking the car handle apart and using the emergency key and the emergency battery start up which was great, but why would the battery go dead and only three weeks?

[@CarSceneKorea]

That is frustrating indeed, but many other cars can have their batteries dead in about three weeks for many reasons.

[@BillyVisuals]

We need to see more of your 370z ;)

[@CarSceneKorea]

She seldom shows up on my channel but you saw her in person 👀

[@PilipinasKongMahal021]

Great video! Can I ask what your recommendations are, Hyundai Tucson 2025 HEV and Diesel facelifter version had just been release in the Philippines, what do you think would be a better buy, the proven and tested Diesel 2.0 or this new HEV version. Assumptions are they have almost same features, but with pricier HEV at 5k USD. **to note is also that i think Tucso diesel 2.0 is also a fuel efficient car, combined with cheaper price of diesel vs gas (10-20% cheaper)

[@CarSceneKorea]

Decisions, decisions. I'd go with HEV because it is my favorite type of powertrain. I was never a big fan of diesel on sedans and SUVs. The points you've listed are all valid, I'd strongly recommend you test an HEV if you haven't, perhaps this will narrow your choices down a lot.

[@PilipinasKongMahal021]

Thank you for this! I hope to test drive both units soon. I think also HEV suits me better with lots of urban-suburban driving. Hopefully Kia will also bring in the hybrids in our shore (sorento and sportage) to make my decision a little bit harder Would you care, why would you purchase this over the CX-5? A lot of my friends keeps telling me just pick the CX-5

[@CarSceneKorea]

​@@PilipinasKongMahal021 Korea does not get Mazda, so I have no idea how CX-5 would compare to its competitors 🥲If your friends' recommendations are based on the brands' perceptions, I'd say blindfold test them in recent Hyundai & Kia cars :P They've come a very long way.

[@MindIsLikeFullMoonInFall]

Do you think there will be a mid-life facelift / upgrade for Sportage this year? I love Sportage's overall look, but I think its infotainment sys. is a bit dated by now.

[@CarSceneKorea]

There should be, it's around the corner being tested.

[@AdrienPierret]

I test drove a 2021 Tucson mild hybrid with middle trim in Germany and found the ride super harsh, almost uncomfortable. Should I test drive the higher trim facelift or there are no particular changes in dampers?

[@CarSceneKorea]

If you are looking for the ride quality and Tucson HEV didn't work out for you, I think it's time for Santa Fe HEV or Genesis.

[@AdrienPierret]

@@CarSceneKorea Thanks for the reply! I tried the Kona EV and Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD and liked both so I think I might go EV. The Kona 2WD 1.6T also felt a bit harsh like the Tucson.

[@CarSceneKorea]

EVs sure do give you a very different ride sensation. If you like them, I'm all in with EVs too.

[@TitasPetkevicius]

EU market arrives probably at the end of year, price for Nline model with back seat heating 48000 eur. Price change from pre-facelift +9000 eur. Compare with old model price now Nline cost about 35000 eur. IDK how good it will be but new VW Tiguan cost 42000eur and Audi Q5 about 42000. Looks like if price stay at start point no sell at Europe.

[@jamiemcgregor7833]

They’re in Europe already

[@jamiemcgregor7833]

They’re in Europe and the uk now

[@TitasPetkevicius]

@@jamiemcgregor7833 sorry UK is not at EU any more. And when convert from gbp to eur you get same price as france show. For my location dealers do not show even price, and i do kot talk about orders. Maybe will be available by the end of year, but i do not expect lower price them France dealers offer. So old version with all confort looks acceptible price about 35000 for nline

Love this compact, internet claims it has” integrated fog lights pictures show lights on the outside of the headlights they look more like DTRLs than fog lights, not that it needs any more lights, but I need extra lightening in my neighborhood to illuminate the road; nowadays fog lights are disappearing because headlights are so low( but they aren’t aimed like fog lights and still operate as headlights Quick? 6.8 vs 6.6 for cx5 turbo, so it’s quick for a hybrid. It’s no dodge hornet , but N line is impressive

[@CarSceneKorea]

I like the N-Line looks too!

[@henrikhook.]

Is the 2025 Hyundai Tucson on the same level as the German Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW (which have very well managed to balance the rigidity and softness of the chassis)?. 🤔 Mercedes-Benz has been very successful in this area and in isolating the sounds of the chassis. 😉

[@CarSceneKorea]

We need Genesis for that, but Tucson sure does put up a great fight against its competitors.

[@davidnguyen3275]

Spare tire saved a few times so it’s a deal breaker for me if the car doesn’t come with one.

That depends on the market, you might get it where you are.

[@biffotheclown]

[@CarSceneKorea]

If it was because of me sitting inside the trunk and going over the Q&A, there's over a dozen videos of Tucson literally on my channel if you don't mind looking them up.

[@lolayu]

I just hope it will come fully loaded as my 2024 Palisade. Hate to buy packages, and that's why I bought a Korean car instead of German. Genesis, Hyundai, Kia are far cry from what they used to be and they are now at par or better in comparison to Germans. Keep doing great work.

[@CarSceneKorea]

Couldn’t agree more with you on this 🙌

[@TitasPetkevicius]

But tiguan elegance version cost 38000 with 360 and winter packet about 41000. New hyundai by France price nline will cost 48000. So idk if it worth to pay extra 6000-7000€
