2024 Hyundai Tucson SEL vs SEL Convenience vs Limited | Side by Side Trim Comparison!

We do a side by side trim comparison of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson SEL, SEL Convenience, and Limited. The Tucson has been mostly unchanged since 2022 with only minor packaging changes and a few new safety features for 2024. With pricing being fairly similar between SEL and SEL Convenience, it is hard to argue with the value of the SEL Convenience as long as you are ok with leather seats. Pricing between the SEL Convenience and Limited is greater but the Limited is the only way to get certain features for 2024. Let me know which trim you think is the best value in the comments below!

Best video! It’s so hard sometimes to tell the differences in the trim levels. Please keep doing more of these!

[@mikeb3216]

There also seems to be an SEL Plus package which is what I picked up. Its upgrades the standard SEL to 19in wheels and adds the 10.25 in digital display. If your looking for something nicer then the SEL and don't want to pay for a sunroof just to get a few other things then the Plus might be an option. It's also the same price as the SEL so its like getting nicer wheels and display for free. You will get a bit less cargo features like a cover or netting or roadside assistance kit but that stuff is minor in comparison

[@shckltnebay]

I wouldnt consider 19" wheels a plus on this vehicle

[@vebo6380]

I want a top of the line vehicle without a sunroof…period. Why do auto makers have to add sun roofs to the highest trim levels? I could also do without the computer technology while maintaining upper trim level amenities such as leather seats, premium wheels, Bose sound system, etc. I am old and not very tech savvy. I also live in the desert, which will dry rot the moldings around the sun roof.

[@mikeb3216]

I just picked up the SEL Plus version of the 24 Tucson. I haven't seen that one advertised and you may have to specifically ask for it as its just a couple upgrades to the SEL without the sunroof and built in Nav. The Plus upgrades to 19in wheels and adds the 10.25 in digital display. I compared window stickers and those are the only 2 main changes from the standard SEL aside from minor cargo stuff. It seems to be somewhere between the SEL package and the SEL with convenience. You wont get the Bose system and Leather. It's not the fully loaded limited but its a damn nice car for around 34-35K depending on prices in your area

Is it confirmed they're discontinuing Intense Blue? I'm going to be in the market for a new car next spring and want the SEL Convenience in this color. Now I'm worried it won't be available to lease.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Yes. That color is long gone in terms of production. In fact, there is only one listed as for sale within 500 miles of me. I would consider that color nearly impossible to get brand new as of now.

[@FrankDag]

@@CarsMadeSimple It's disappointing they still list it on their website. Thanks.

[@jameslong4453]

Sad but true their color choices are not very good.

[@lizo202]

The limited version has the park assist

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Correct

[@overundersidewaysdown]

SEL Convience or Chevy Trax Active?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Well, they are two very different vehicles. There are pros and cons to both. Honestly if you don't need the extra space of the Tucson, I would likely say the Trax is the better buy. This is mainly due to the fact one is roughly $26k vs $36k.

[@overundersidewaysdown]

@@CarsMadeSimple Yeah, $10,000 .

[@BoopSnoot]

If they aren't hybrid, the trims are basically crappiest, crappy, and crap. Great vehicle, not so great infotainment or powertrain except the hybrid which is great.

[@Tlaloc89]

Clarify for me: the nonHybrid trims are different from the Hybrid ones? With Hybrid being better? I'm still early in the sorting all the options stage. It can be a bit much.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I believe the infotainment (Outside of only having wired AA/AC on the 10.25" screens) is one of the better options available. The touch buttons are terrible but the screen and UI is great. Hybrid powertrain is much better, I agree.

[@BoopSnoot]

Yeah, the hybrid is not only WAY more fuel efficient, but more powerful too. 2.5 NA is lethargic and mediocre real world efficiency and doesn't sound great. @@Tlaloc89

[@BoopSnoot]

To each their own, I'm not a big fan. Resolution is good on the upgraded one, but its UI is all the same color so hard to see at a glance and isn't snappy like say uConnect 5. Its better than Mercedes at least, and probably moot I guess if you use android auto or caplay, but again no wireless which is lame. @@CarsMadeSimple

[@wolfshanze5980]

@@BoopSnoot The Hybrid Tucson is the way to go because the ICE Tucson engine is dog poo. As for the infotainment, the 10.25" screen is just fine... they're not all the same color, I think you're thinking of KIA (KIA is all the same color, Hyundai is not). As for wireless, it can be completely wireless with a $50 dongle from Amazon... no big deal, and not worth complaining about. I own a 2023 Tucson Hybrid with the upgraded infotainment, and I have no problems with it, the resolution and response time are top-notch... I mostly use wireless Android Auto (through my dongle) and I love my infotainment system on the Tucson Hybrid.

I prefer the limited since I have gotten older for the extra safety features such as the blind spot cameras and the push button shifter when I have drinks in my vehicle

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Fair enough! Thanks for watching!

[@Varlene7]

I agree with your assessment of the SEL convenience. I got mine about 2 weeks ago and I love it. I previously had a 2021 Honda Passport and one thing with Hyundai they offer way more features than Honda with their base and mid-level trims compared to Honda where some (not all) of these features can be found in their higher trim models. By the end of my lease, I firmly believe I’ll remain with Hyundai.

[@jameslong4453]

[@carloa7455]

I really like the limited, but it seems quite a bit on the high end for prices

[@CarsMadeSimple]

It may seem like it on the surface but when compared to the competition, it seems like a good value considering the features.

[@erniefigueroa20]

Here in Puerto Rico, the SEL Convenience brings the Panoramic Sunroof but cloth seats.

Wats goin on with the dash clock? Its ugly!! I was lucky enough to get the complete Dash integration which basically swayed my decision away from the RAV4… Worse still, have you seen the dreadful interior Hyundai have for the 2025 Tucson?? 🙈 Terrible!! In all the latest BMW’s The Mercedes, Audi’s etc, The Tucson had the best Dash/Screen integration I’ve ever seen on a car!… To go from that beautiful sleek design, to a dash that looks like the cheapest take of a 1960’s futuristic space craft! Looks like a bathroom tray for storing soap!! It’s terrible!!! My next trade in is 2025, and if Hyundai continue with this design I’ll be going elsewhere

Hey buddy love your videos! Quick question, I've noticed the Tucson either has the net pockets or regular seat back pockets made with seat materials, I thought it was a 2024 thing but it doesn't appear so. Any ideas why the difference?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

It could be for supply reasons or the Ventilated seat function on the Limited. I honestly don't have a firm answer as it why some have the pockets and others have the nets.

The big positives about the Hybrid will be fuel economy and power output.

[@Sjrick]

The one thing that bummed me out was the lack pf physical buttons. Thats the one thing i look for in a new car. Honda learned this lesson years ago and then went back to physical button for the volume and fan speed. I really wanted to like this car but now i have to move on.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

The good news is the 2025 Tucson is returning to mostly buttons and knobs! I am looking forward to seeing them in person.
