Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GLS+ Diesel review: Diesel-powered crossover tested | Top Gear Philippines

The Hyundai Tucson is one of the mainstays in the compact crossover class. In this latest iteration, its trump card is still the option of a diesel powertrain-a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel unit that now makes 183hp and a mighty 416Nm of torque.
That variant, the 2023 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GLS+ AT Diesel priced at P1,840,000, is what we’re reviewing here. Beyond the torquey, frugal engine and the eye-catching design, what else does the Tucson have against its mostly gasoline- or hybrid-powered competitors? Click play on the video to find out.

Best in the class in the world. Tucson is simply awarded.

[@mayerfer7195]

It’ll be more exciting if Hyundai brought the Santa Cruz in the Philippines 🤞 I want a small pickup truck.

[@chaarleess]

Santa Cruz is North American only

[@miss.silver.official]

How about the gasoline type tucson? Any reviews?

[@ver1537]

The ground clearance is quite low to overcome higher humps and pot holes especially during rainy season.

[@eraserheads78]

He forgot to mention it's bigger than the RAV4 which also cost north of 2M.

[@wilfredbalmores8440]

The interior looking like it's from an EV

[@cathrinah05]

Fuel consumption on a normal mode???

[@johnwick860]

ok sana price kaso toned down Tucson variant pagdating sa Pinas.... tarrifs and taxes urgently need to be updated

[@walterwine]

Hope they bring the AWD to the incoming facelift version

[@johnwick860]

cannot understand Hyundai PH decision not to bring the Hybrid variant

[@norlandromuros8619]

Now you're wrong because there's the Sta. Fe that competes the montero, mu-x, fortuner, Terra and Everest and Sorento

[@nikytamayo]

If you're talking size, yes. But iIn terms of price, the 2.4m Santa Fe only competes with the wildly expensive top of the line Fortuner. The Montero Sport starts in the 1.5m range. Other PPVs start between 1.6 to 1.7m. At the price of the Tucson, you have a wide selection of mid-level 2WD SUVs to pick from.

Is this safe to buy? Im afraid to buy hyundai-kia due to the ongoing class action lawsuit in the us-canada-australia about the engine fire issue, tho i’ve noticed that all of those are the gasoline variant with theta II engine Can someone give me some insights?

[@AntiJEVsInPH]

Theta, Nu, Gamma, Lambda and US manufactures are the problems. Smartstream 2L, and 2.2 diesel engines are reliable, durable and quality of our spec engine

[@MinoMarimat]

Hyundai designs are getting interesting lately

[@FreddieRiveraEsquillo]

“Its a great car” 😂😂😂. Lol. That car isnt selling here in PH. Heavily stripped down version of tucson compared to the international version.

[@ordinarychris]

We bought it last December. It's more premium feels than our Fortuner LTD to be honest 😏

[@Best_Day]

@@ordinarychris To be honest.. it better be more premium. Tucson is more recent model and Price is not too far off.

[@paulbonifacio901]

@@ordinarychrishi, is it safe? Im really hesitant to buy this car due to the fire engine issue in other countries, tho all of those are the gasoline variants.
