Driving on the highway is great with the radar plate, as long as it's not snowing.

Present from the Philippines 🙋

4k Video.. niiuce 🎉🎉

Interesting choice, they redesigned the Tucson front end daytime running lights to look more like the outgoing Santa Cruz, and the Santa Cruz running lights to look more like the outgoing Tucson.

I like how they used a lot of the identity from the 2024 Santa Fe, even though I like the Santa Fe design more. Which is good because I just bought one

[@og7952]

Was not a fan, but it's growing on me. Very practical vehicle

[@BrantfordKia]

It’s a perfect blend of suv comfort and truck-like versatility

[@KeenVanguard]

It's a great daily driver

[@USAF_Medic]

Wow, Congrats on the weight loss. You look great!!

[@Woul2hhwu]

You are crazzy ❤

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

It doesn't look bad unlike the new Santa Fe

[@BrantfordKia]

I’m loving this refresh!

[@DEIGNANMAGIC]

Sometime could you please do a video on the KIA Connect App and it's value? Thanks.

[@Ziggyman-jx4vy]

Great interior, and the color looks so good. The only issue I have with this truck is that the bed is much too small. I’ve seen the older models and unless you hate doing projects around the house, then it’s not for you.

[@nawafa4307]

Cool trucks gets worthwhile upgrades. This vehicle should have been the first one in the HMC range to get the extreme treatment not the urban based Santa Fe.

[@patmagic3301]

Dual clutch is a repeated failure and you can have the turbo as well. Go with the regularly aspirated engine and the 8 speed converter. The price is still not justifiable though. This should be a 30k car at the highest.

[@kylecalder8628]

Ill be interested if Hyundai brings the Blaze Orange to Canada. They didnt bring the Silver Matte in the Sonata to Canada either sadly.

[@Jordan-dr9hq]

I’m not a fan, but I think she could sell it to me 😂

[@gldi8hr]

Thank goodness Hyundai changed the grill, the previous design used to look like a decoration art piece something you’d have in your living room⚠️

[@jeffwang2012]

How much is it?

[@BrantfordKia]

Pricing for the 2025 has not been released

[@kylecalder8628]

I'd say starting at 40k Cad to 52k Cad

[@L10N.]

Gotta be honest on this one. That is one ugly vehicle imo sorry!! But i can kinda see the appeal.

[@BrantfordKia]

It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay!

[@NYTOC]

So... Plain on the inside. It says bold and more on the outside, but no personality or character on the inside 😔

[@BrantfordKia]

I think I like the interior a bit more - especially the inclusion of real dials and switches - but it’s not for everyone and that’s okay!

[@NYTOC]

@@BrantfordKia I love the dials being there, the dash display feels.. cold? But it also doesn't stand out with most vehicles and the console sticking out for passersby to see.

[@NYTOC]

@@BrantfordKia I would love to upgrade my 2017 Tucson from Kingscross Hyundai but I am so scared to mess with the console 🤔🙄
