Jennifer Hanks yes I am. As much as day one. It still feels new in every respect.

The price of cars is getting out of hand, I remember, not too long ago when you could buy one of these for around $20k. A Highlander used to cost this much back then. And NO! Wages have NOT kept up with this level of inflation in the auto industry. Buying used has become the only way to go for many people who used to be able to buy new.

You're correct, pedro fernandez. And we blame all that glorious tech that is available. Most of these vehicles that used to considered "entry level" are no longer such. Hyundai still makes a $23k 2019 Tucson. It just doesn't come with all the tech that this Ultimate does. That top-o-the-line price is what we all still have to get used to. Thanks for watching!

I'm shocked! Did you miss all the great benefits of MAGA? Wages skyrocketing? The "biggest tax cut in history" last year? What about the value of your stocks? If you think that inflation of prices for automobiles is a problem, try sending a kid to college. Or worse, paying for higher education for yourself. Student loan debt is now the second largest component of all consumer debt, exceeded only by mortgage debt and much, much more than debt for vehicles. And if you think the price of vehicles has already gotten out of hand, just wait for the current administration's round of tariffs on "foreign" vehicles, including those built in the US.

I got the Santa Fe sport for 20K, 2018, last one on lot, they were selling the 2019’s. Love it nice space.

I think this is the perfect size vehicle for me. I'm 5'8, I have 4 medium-large size dogs, and I mostly need the cargo to lug these guys around and to commute less than 10mi to work. Going to take my dad with me since he and my boyfriend will be the only other frequent drivers/passengers, both 6'2 and 6'3, respectively. I had an opportunity to drive a 2013 Santa Fe GLS recently and while it was smooth, it felt a bit like a boat with that 3rd row. It just seems uncessary for my needs, and newer models are just out of my price range.

Great job bro 🔥👏👌👍

Thanks for this video. I own a 2008 Santa Fe Limited which I love but its about time to upgrade. Since I no longer need the Santa Fe size I'm leaning towards the Tucson. Although I'd like a 2019 I'm fairly partial to the Limited trim and may need to go for a 2017 or 2018. Are the 2019 Limited upgrades worth waiting or purchasing used. Perhaps.

Is it possible to fit 15" alloy wheels and adapt gasoline engines to install gas tank in order to save on costs?

Do you remember how good the audio was with the sound system? Edit: Nevermind you mentioned it later in the video thanks

I have only one complain too: there is no way to find Tuscon with memory seats, while car has 2 sets of keys

next car i aim get is hyundai tuscon premium SE (in uk) 2.0 hybrid 4wd 185ps auto box new price is around £34k sterling i will aim to get one around 3-8 months old which will cost around £27-28k that is just a lot of the vat off on car that may only have between 500 - 2000 mile on it u getting more for cash than equalivant bmw mercedes audi etc and 5 yr warranty

No more turbo..not going to make it when all its competitors have turbo as an option at least.if the sportage have a turbo engine AS AN OPTION then why not with the tuscon?Korean marketing I dont get them..

This is always the situation, a loaded vehicle one size below the other will always be price competitive. A loaded Santa Fe will not be price competitive with a loaded Tuscon. A loaded Tucson will be price competitive with a stripped Santa Fe. If I wanted a loaded Tucson, that's what I would get. If I wanted a stripper or mid range Santa Fe, that's what I would get. Both, irrespective of price of the next model above or below it. If you actually clearly know what you want, that dynamic won't sway you.

Hyndai tucson once opon a time is my dream car... I purchased it from Concept hyundai Ahmedabad Gujarat (India) on 30th May 2018 registration no GJ 38 BA 3920 .... From dayone I am facing the problem of left side pulling at the speed of just 70-80 kmph. I complained and my car went for alignment balancing... but problem not resolved after 10-15 time my car went for alignment but status quo... they told change the tyre after 30000 km i chenged it with my expenses... after that also problem is there... 2-3 time driver seat adjustment switch got changed, now they told we hv to change the seat, seat came after 4 months of waiting ... but left or some time right side of pulling problem is out of their syllabus... now they mentioned me in their mail dated 2/07/20 after 100kmph speed you cant leave steering its dangerous but what about 70-80 kmph and sometimes it pulled out at the speed of 40-50 also. One of there service manager told this problem is there in all our old model cars... means you have to accept it n live with this faulty car n keep your n your family's life in danger!!!! So pls my humble request not to buy hyundai tucson or any other model of the same hyundai brand...

We bought the 2019 Tucson ultimate and only complaint is the picture quality of the backup and side cameras. We did not notice it before buying. We were so impressed with the rest of the vehicle that we overlooked it. Totally our fault. The picture quality is very grainy and can only make out shapes, not a crisp picture at all. My 2018 ram 1500s backup camera is crystal clear, and being very similar in price we expected similar quality. We took it back to Hyundai dealership and they agreed it was pretty bad, they compared to other Tucson's and saw they all were the same quality. They elevated our issue to the corporate office which basically said "you bought it, your fault". Other than that, it's a perfect vehicle for us.

I love my Tuckson except for the fact Hyundai has put a piece of software in it to prevent dammage to the engine and this damn thing put the car in safe mode without any warning. For myself it appened 3 times already on to highway and it's very dangerous. Each time I had to go to Hyunday for them to update the software and reset the engine light.

I drove the Santa Fe and did not like it as much. It was a year older but it really didn't drive well at all. Maybe something was wrong with it but I ended up in a Tuscon Night because I got a great deal on it.

Noisy cabin on highway and truck feeling suspension.
