Nice review!🤜🤛Mine is a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Limited/Red Color. To me, the coolest thing is … The Remote Parking Assist. And with “the Smart Cruise Control”, just by holding the steering wheel…😱this SUV drives all by itself!🙀

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Thanks! Congratulations on your new Tucson!! Enjoy!!!...:) Steve

[@Theanxiousdogmom]

I just learned how to use my parking assist and I am obsessed 🤣👏🏽🥹 especially since I almost bought the car, specifically because of this feature 🤣🫠 I park between two GIANT GIANT trucks. It makes my Tucson look tiny

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

I’m glad you appreciate and pointed out the amazing design and quality of the interior. Speaking in terms of design, it truly is the best I have ever been in, and that’s including “luxury class” vehicles. Hyundai ushered in an interior space that’s on an entirely different level.

[@lennyvasquez9922]

Really enjoyed the video! Hyundai's design are definitely an eye catcher for me. (Sorry for my bad english, not a native speaker)

[@TomDeVito]

Great review as always Steve! Not gonna lie when this new Tucson first came out I found it very quirky looking but overtime it’s grown on me and I absolutely love it! Can’t wait to get one

Did you look at the Honda CRV?

[@Monkeydrinkingajuice]

Does your Tucson make any weird noises?

[@bennykleinberger4621]

I am a proud owner of a Tucson 2023 I just don't understand why it doesn't have remote mirrors and why the tailgate does not close with the remote

[@unreal4010]

It does, you got to hold it

[@jpbanksnj]

Bro... that truck lowering feature just saved me many worries. We would constantly get roll-away bottles and jars from grocery shopping, ready to roll out the back when the door is opened. This feature just created a lip at the back that will catch them and prevent them from falling out and rolling down the driveway or smashing!

[@manzarek74]

I love the center console and instrument panel, there is no gear knob but it may be a thing you get used to

[@Nug0311]

Was planning on getting a CRV but because Honda took away so many of the standard features from the 2018 crv on the current models I’m looking this this suv. Newer CRVs have less standard features and make you pay for them now it really sucks good job Honda

[@reywhitney5449]

Really a BIG ZONK and Fucked up for the new Honda CR-V.....and the price is so RIDICULOUS !! I'll keep my 2021 Honda AWD CR-V !!

Thanks for the video. What's the main difference between the 2022 and 2023 versions of the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited? Also, is the 2023 Hybrid Limited offered in PHEV? I've seen it referenced in articles, but on Hyundai's official website, I only see the PHEV offered for the 2022. There's no mention of a 2023 Tucson Limited PHEV.

[@wolfshanze5980]

The 2023 Tucson is identical to the 2022 Tucson, especially top trims... the only difference between 2022 and 2023 are lower trim packaging... the SEL trims got a few more premium features as standard... not much else changed. The 2023 lineup includes 3 HEV and 1 PHEV trim options... the 2023 PHEV Tucson is the most expensive of all versions... the PHEV only comes in one trim, which is basically fully loaded Limited, it's just listed as "PHEV"... there is no "cheaper" version of the PHEV Tucson. Also, in the US, the PHEV is NOT available everywhere... Hyundai only sells the PHEV Tucson in 15 states due to limited production it is only offered in states with a lot of charger infrastructure.. like California.

[@gobrad]

Hi great video… I placed an order two months ago for the 2023 highest spec hybrid Tucson … Unfortunately there’s another wait for up-to another two months perhaps April… my concern is how will I know if the car was recently made? For all I know it could be sitting in a yard for the past year or even two years which would inevitably effect the longevity of the vehicle… I know the registration commences the year but that’s not good if the car was sitting up, after all it’s so expensive!! Is there a number on the car I could check? Many thanks in advance

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

You can try this: To find your vehicle's production date, open its driver's-side door and look for a large sticker inside the door jam. That sticker should contain information about your vehicle's weight, as well as its production month and year. I Googled your question and that is what came up. I hope it helps..:) Steve

[@gobrad]

@@rosenthalstevek8869 Hi Steve, many thanks for that response… I’ll certainly do that 🙂👍🏽

[@wolfshanze5980]

@Ant Brad I ordered a 2022 Tucson Hybrid in Jun 2022... the wait time ended up being 5 months for me, and I got mine in December 2022... but by then I got a 2023 Tucson Hybrid! Manufacture date for mine was Oct 2022 (listed inside the door). For America, the gas versions are made in Alabama and the Hybrids are made in South Korea and shipped over.

[@gobrad]

@@wolfshanze5980 wow that was a long wait… I ordered mine 5th December and niw told it won’t arrive till may 🙈

[@caskraker]

Mine was ordered in July 21 and delivered May 22. Be patient, it drives great.

[@RTimo]

Im not a fan of button gears. Do they have with the actual gear shifters?

[@NoCompM2]

Yes you can still get one with physical gear selector

[@wolfshanze5980]

Depends what you get.... all Limited and Hybrid versions have push button... gas versions lower than Limited have a gear shifter.

[@joemclaughlin995]

The diesel engine really suits this car ! Great torque and mpg.

[@wolfshanze5980]

The diesel engine doesn't exist in the North American Tucson line-up... gas or hybrid only (or petrol for non-Americans).

[@kimnguyen-lw7oj]

the negative about the car is noisy vent heat/air. and the car heats up on its own when it's cold outside

[@gobrad]

Hi, I just ordered the executive plus hybrid and should be here in a few weeks fingers crossed, however, how will I know whether I’m getting the 2023 version or 2022??…. Perhaps it’s a 2021 or 2022 sitting up the past year … Is there any way I can tell?… thank you 🙏

[@kimnguyen-lw7oj]

read your contract

[@gobrad]

@@kimnguyen-lw7oj Thanks for your response but I doubt if the contract will reveal the actual year the car was made… The registration commences the year of the car and not Year it was made… It would be great if it gave the actual date when it was made but unfortunately I don’t think it does

[@auroche3007]

check with your vin number

[@gobrad]

@@auroche3007 vin number?? Where would I see that? And if it is a case where this car made a year ago, would I be entitled to change it fir a recently made model? Many thanks 😊

[@wolfshanze5980]

@Ant Brad you'll get a 2023... I ordered mine in June 2022 and ended up with a 2023 in December 2022. They don't make 2022s anymore and they're not sitting around dealership lots. Manufacturer date of the vehicle is inside the door when you open the door... my 2023 Hybrid was manufactured in October 2022 (yes, 2023 models were being built in 2022).

Unless it's an error but I just picked up a 2033 xrt AWD and mine has leather interior

[@wolfshanze5980]

SEL and above have leather in 2023 models... this video quoted the 2022 specs, only limited got leather in 2022.

[@caskraker]

No leather but an artificial material looking like leather.

[@CountryZorro]

Questions not answered is the passenger seat power? Does the passenger seat have a Hyde adjustment 99% of the time an additional passenger and they said most of the vehicles will be in the passenger seat. Why not talk about what the accommodations are where are your front passenger

[@harold1901]

Is the plug-in hybird qualify for the federal tax credit?

[@richardreese5377]

No , the plug in is made in Korea

[@wolfshanze5980]

To clarify, you only get the rebate if the electric vehicle was manufactured in a NAFTA country (US/Canada/Mexico)... the gas Tucson is made in Alabama but the Hybrid and PHEV Tucsons are made in Korea so don't qualify.

The Limited model doesn't have wireless. I have the Limited. It is no big deal. I have no issue just plugging my phone in at all. Not a deal breaker. Plug it in, and at the same time, you are charging your phone, and it is a very fast charge too.

Hyundai needs to upgrade the interior of the car as compared to Hyundai creta, both are priced differently but creta being at a lower point shares interior with Tucson . It’s a shame

[@claro371]

Engine stop and go is the worst trend in new vehicles. Hyundai vehicles have no way of permanently disabling this feature. It must be turned off every single time.

Put a drop off crazy-glue in the off position, it works for me.

[@lynnslaterjr]

Severe downgrade relative to 2022. Disabled wireless android auto and apple play so they can promote their much less capable nav and limited apps.

[@wolfshanze5980]

There's ZERO DOWNGRADE between 2022 and 2023... they have the exact same infotainment screens available. Doesn't matter if it's a 2022 or 2023 model, the end result is the same. If you got the 8" infotainment in 2022 or 2023, you get wireless, if you get the 10.25" infotainment in 2022 or 2023, you get wired. It's the same regardless which year Tucson you get.

[@caskraker]

No downgrade as the other guy said. And I tried Apple carplay and the native nav is just better.

[@lynnslaterjr]

The downgrade is the removal of wireless connection. Please confirm that you were using Apple carplay without using a cable.

[@caskraker]

@@lynnslaterjr No. Because it never was possible on the 10.25 screen. Bye, fool.

[@lynnslaterjr]

DO NOT BUY these degraded trims: XRT, N-Line, Limited, SEL Convenience. These have all disabled Wireless Android Auto™ & Apple CarPlay®, probably to promote their own lesser navigation application. The basic rule is: 10.25-inch means BROKEN navigation with disabled Android and Apple. The lowest trims, SE and SEL have small screens and working navigation via wireless integration. There is no excuse for disabling wireless phone integration, or limiting it to only audio and calls. You want good maps? Then buy a different car.

[@chtounte02]

Or use a cable ;)

[@coptered]

My SEL Convenience has wireless Android Auto

[@lynnslaterjr]

@@coptered so does my 2022 one. But per Hyundai's published feature list, they degraded this for the 2023 models

[@photo_n_art]

@@rosenthalstevek8869 I don’t think he meant your physical appearance rather than your presentation style. I have to admit that it is a little odd, your sense of humor comes across rather stiff and dry. You sound rather eloquent yet your jokes are at Friday night bar level. And to me at least your “reviews” appear more like sales pitch with all hype and basically no constructive criticism. I know the Tucson pretty well and it is not all peaches and roses, the engine is on a very sluggish site with rather bouncy handling and it soft on the corners with a very noticeable body roll. Well, long story short to me you are focusing only on the positives because it appeals to more people and attracts more potential subscribers… it is a free market and you are free do whatever works for you, but it is a bit dishonest to your audience in my humble opinion.

[@Pwov]

@@rosenthalstevek8869 So weird that you used “tall and dark” as an example…is that your personal idea of attractive? Even your response was off putting.
