Not what I expected

Test drive of 2026 Tucson Hybrid Limited was awesome. Now that I own one, I wonder if it was the right purchase. Upon a fresh start, the engine is quiet. Nice acceleration, etc.. Once the engine warms up, that's when things change. The engine sounds worn out and is much louder than a cold start. Neighbors have asked me what is wrong with my engine because they can hear it when I drive by. I have doubts the engine is going to last. Example: in first, second and maybe third gear....why is the engine charging the battery while accelerating? It goes back and forth between Hybrid and charging. When you'd expect the battery power to be helping accelerate, its not. The dealer had my car in the shop for 2 weeks about 1.5 months ago. No issues found. Said its a small engine. I have a problem with that. If its a small engine issue....why does the engine sound different after the first start in the morning versus after driving on the highway for 30 minutes? I sounds like a worn out engine...something I knew very well back in the days when all I could afford was a worn out car with a worn out engine. Was told by the dealer the reason they kept it for 2 weeks was to rule out a recall on the regular 2026 Tucson's for an engine issue. Something about a loose connecting rod bolts. How in the world does an engine recall happen within a couple of months after a new vehicle is released in 2025??? Hyundai bought back my 2012 Sonata 2.0 due to an engine recall (engine bearing failure). Thankfully that car lasted until 2025.

Too early to tell

Nice car. The first 1000 miles: The fuel mileage, not that impressive 28/30. Maybe after it breaks in it’ll improve. Theres a noticeable groan when car switches from gas to electric and vice versa. Not a big deal. Collision avoidance radar works very well but be carefull with it. It’ll overide any accelerator response based on what it detects. It’ll also slow itself down in cruise. Nice feature as long as you adapt to it. Drive modes, snow mode is ok until you get into deep enough snow to where your trying to push through and not get stuck. This is not so impressive. I realize I was pushing the envelope with deep snow. The problem is the AWD will not allow a good accelerator response unless you use wheel lick which overides the AWD allowing all wheels to engage. Fortunately, I was able to unstuck myself with this feature. Its not a truck or trail rated SUV. Its ok in snow but know your limits. I had a 2020 Chevy Blazer that seem to give better/simpler control in this area. Note: Wheels pack with snow to easy giving you a wheel vibration. Theres way to much tech. Some of it I like and I’m adapting to it. Overall its a nice car.

Finish issues

After all paperwork was done and the car was cleaned and filled with gas, it was dark when we took possession of the car. When we got to home and in the garage, we noticed places that looked like scratches and swirl marks on the silver metal accents along both sides beyond the back passenger doors and on the paint in several places. We called the dealership and was told to bring it in. We did and they said most were caused by the glue from the shipping wrap. They worked and got most off. After we got home, we still saw swirl marks. We took it back and showed them some that was missed, which they worked on. This was better, but we could still swirl marks. After I personally applied ceramic wax, the car's finish is much better.

2026 Tucson Hybrid Limited

Excellent car with some design flaws. Wheels easily packed with snow causing rough ride. Rear hatch release too small. dashboard too complex.

Love it except for one thing!

On Dec 16, I was driving on the NY I-90 during rush hour. Traffic was crawling along as people merged and changed lanes to get to one of the upcoming 3 exits. Suddenly, my car abruptly stopped while I was driving in the middle lane of traffic. Cars continued to crawl along as the car in front of me pulled away. I stepped on the accelerator but my car did not move! Once the congestion clears, cars resume 55 mph but my car was stopped dead and then it happened. I was rear ended. Less than 1000 miles on my car and over $10,000 worth of damages due to an alleged safety feature, front collision avoidance, which I believe could have been avoided if not for the FCA.

Blown Away with the QUALITY & PERFORMANCE

The title says it all. I keep discovering new features and functions of this car. My wife bought a 2025 Sonata Hybrid in early 2025 and I bought this 2026 Tucson Hybrid last Fall. I am amazed and grateful for the smart safety features ... like a bit or resistance changing lanes without a turn signal, seeing on my screen the lane that I'm going into, displaying my speed on my front window. I enjoy buying the lowest grade gasoline and very little of it! I had a Audi Q5 for 9 years and spent a fortune on gas and repairs ---great car but I'm enjoying this Hyundai a lot!

2026 Tucson Hybrid Review

Traded in a 2023 Santa Fe. Tucson a little smaller but ride is close to the same. All the features are similar. Fuel economy is not as good as advertised. Only drove it 2300 miles so far.

2026 Hyundai Tuxson Hybrid

Overall I have been very pleased with the car. My one biggest complaint is the how the infotainment system manages SiriusXM. There is no way to see the music information when using the car's radio in conjunction Apple CarPlay. In my opinion this could easily be solved in a couple of ways. One allow the media that is being played show up as an option in the center drivers display just like navigation does, two allow a split screen option like you do when using the car's navigation. Another thing is the system doesn't remember that you were on the media screen the last time the care was turned off and goes to the home screen at next startup. This would be less of an issue if the home screen would show the song information that is currently playing on SiriusXM. So far I have had to push the 12v system reset button once and I am not sure why. At this time I am not getting anything over 30MPG which is concerning as well. I hope once I get to spring time this will improve.

HTH

Vehicle is very nice. Smooth, quiet, comfortable and has decent pickup. One disappointment is that I don’t get the rated gas mileage. It’s rated at 35/36 and I get between 26 and 30.
