Just One Thing!
I traded in my 2022 Tucson SEL for the 2026Tucson hybrid blue. When I did the test drive, everything seemed on par with the SEL. It wasn't until after delivery that I realized there was one very important thing that wasn't what I expected. Which is why I removed a star.
Since I'm retired, I don't require a lot of bells and whistles. All I need is a basic vehicle. My SEL had the push button liftgate which I find very helpful. Since I am in my mid 70s and I do a lot of chauffeuring for kin who are more elderly than I am, having the push button liftgate is key. I didn't realize it was missing until I got ready to use the trunk and realized that it was all manual.
Because everything else was on par to my SEL, I never even gave it a second thought. My salesman had already opened the liftgate to move the things from my trade-in into the new one, so I didn't even miss it. Otherwise, everything was as expected.
As far as drive capability is concerned, I don't know whether it's because it's a hybrid or a newer car, but the steering doesn't seem to be as solid as my 2022, and occasionally the brakes feel a little "touchy," for lack of a better word.
Oh! One more thing. The hybrid blue doesn't have a sun/moon roof, which is fine. I think on my SEL I might've used it three times in the nearly 4 years that I had it.
