2023 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience AWD | Serious Value Proposition?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I show you the 2023 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience AWD. The Tucson SEL Convenience receives one big change for 2023, which is the H-Tex Leatherette Seating Surfaces. Outside of this and the loss of Homelink on the Auto Dimming Mirror, these are the only changes. The base SEL received more changes so make sure to check out the other videos showcase exactly what changed. Let me know what you think of the Tucson in the comments below!

Just signed the papers and will be picking up my ‘23 Convenience package when I’m back from my holiday trip! SO excited! Mine is in the serenity white color. I have to say that even though I love the blue, the white looks STUNNING with the design of the rear of the car. 😍

@@CarsMadeSimple Previously i had 4 black cars and the dealer had a black limited but i said no as i didn't want another black vehicle. No, i have no regrets, its actually VERY comfortable on 4 hour drives, handles much better than i expected and smooth as a cloud, i knew what to expect with a 190 hp, it climbs Sandstone mountain in WV with ease at 70 mph with cruise control on, glad i spent the extra $2250.00 for the convenience package without a doubt.

I am with you on black vehicles. I have never owned one and likely never will. So did you consider a Limited vs the SEL Convenience? I was just thinking about this today that a video comparing the two might be worthwhile even though they are $5,400 apart in price. The XRT and N-Line trims are not as common on dealer lots although they are closer to a Limited in terms of equipment. So people might often see SEL Convenience and Limited's side by side more often.

@@CarsMadeSimple I did find out something interesting... apparently Hyundai has cheaped out on a standard car feature that's been around for years on average and even cheap trims. The rear view mirror "HOMELINK" feature (basically built-in garage door opener), came standard on most trims for years... I have a 2018 SEL Tucson with Homelink, tons of cars of various trims have it, the 2022 SEL Hybrid with Convenience had it... but in 2023 Hybrid it can only be found on Limited/Premium trim... really Hyundai? You went either cheap or greedy Hyundai (and I blame Hyundai, not dealerships, I know there's a difference). Heck, Homelink has been a staple for years, now Hyundai is treating it like a Premium feature... whats next? "Well I know you were getting used to having brakes on your car, but we here at Hyundai now consider that a Premium feature and you can only get brakes with the Limited trim".

Update for anyone curious about Homelink on a 2023 Tucson shy of getting the Limited trim... (I did buy the Tucson). "Due to the chip shortage" (I'm going to use that as the excuse), ONLY THE LIMITED TRIM has Homelink in the 2023 lineup of the Tucson. I own the 2023 Tucson Hybrid SEL with Convenience and it definitely did NOT come with Homelink... There's also about a $4,500 price difference between the SEL with Convenience vs the Limited trim (at least on Hybrid) and I wasn't going to pay that for a few gimmicks. Having said that, there is a solution. The SEL with Convenience has the wiring for Homelink in the rear view mirror, it's just not there in the mirror. Personally, I ordered the Hyundai OEM Homelink mirror and had it installed by the dealership after I bought my Tucson Hybrid SEL with Convenience for small fee. I really wanted Homelink but wasn't going to shell out for a Limited just to get it. Moral of the story, if you want Homelink in your Tucson, you can add it after you buy it, just doesn't come with the 2023 Tucson SEL.
This is not the 2023 SEL Convenience package.
