I suppose they charge you more when you have a trade in car?

The retail price of the new car is pretty fixed but how discounts are applied can vary and generally there is more discount when your not trading a car in against it.

They are certainly doing well anyway. I was at a Hyundai showroom yesterday and there was no brochures of the Tucson left or to be got.

Dacia were the same with the new Sandero do but then the salesman said they never came in. No way I would buy a brand new car without looking at the brochure first
I must say do the Renault Dacia salesman was doing his best to sell it to me and it looked lovely. He even offered to let me drive it lol. Ye only one problem there you kinda need a driving license for that lol. I did leave with a big smile on my face do.

How are people finding the wireless charging? Phone charges when placed on may but with using Android auto etc it's actually losing a charge and is not as topped up as it would be if it was connected to cable. Also found the phone to over heat

I know there would be some warmth and it won't charge as fast as cable but really shouldn't be losing battery while in wireless charging bay

How are others finding it?

Wireless charging is very slow. But charging with wire is grand.

Would anybody know how to update or upload new/more apps to the infotainment system on a hybrid executive model? (Not the 10" display)

masterboy123 · 05-07-2021 6:56am

I have executive plus version but I saw few posts about 8" infotainment on this page:

Going to test drive one of these tomorrow.

I was put off SUVs because of the size but when I realised that it's not as long as the Ioniq 5 (which I'm also looking at), it grabbed my attention.

I really like the look and I can get a top model Tuscon with plug in-hybrid for same price as BMW X1 pretty much without the plug in hybrid capability. How many KM do you get electric? I should be able to get a charger at house.

For those that have owned a while how do you find the hybrid? Does it have enough power for overtaking? I live in an area where overtaking is always handy.

Still not sure whether I need to get a hybrid as the cost is so much more than straight up petrol, but overall top model for about 45k seems nice. Are there additional options? Couldn't see anything on the site. Not sure why there's no configuration.

I have 1.6L petrol full hybrid 230 bhp. I have done 15000 km on it and pick up is really good. For a smoother overtake I switch to the Sports mode and happy days! 🤗

Plug in Hybrid wasn't available at the time I bought Executive Plus version. Otherwise I would have got the top spec Plug in hybrid. But i will recommend to get the top spec model as price difference isn't much and you get a fully loaded car with Sat Nav, leather seats, etc.

BMW X3 or Mercedes GLC are equivalent to the new Tucson in terms of dimensions. BMW X1 is much smaller.

Share some pictures from the test drive... 😁

Good luck 🤞

I test drove it.

The problem is I also test drove an Ioniq 5 and I can't stop thinking about it.

The tuscon was nice and felt natural to drive, and love the exterior. But not sure I'll go for one. Let's see!

youngblood · 05-10-2021 10:25pm

Anyone else getting check haptic steering wheel errors, then they go away?

Seems to happen going over road markings, cats eyes that sorta thing

You should check out the new Renault Arkana as well then. A stunning car and maybe the new Kia EV6 another stunner. Then you will stop thinking about the Ionic5.

Renault Arkana is a smaller car compared to the new Hyundai Tucson. So not really comparable.

But yes, you can compare Ioniq 5 vs EV6.

I haven't seen this error so far. I have a full hybrid Tucson. Do you have mild hybrid by any chance?

No, diesel

HI folks who have the the all new Tucson. I purchased my Executive plus at the start of the year and experienced 2 issues.

When the drivers side seat is lowered. from a high position and the person sitting on it is on the heaver side there is a clicking sound. It does not happen on the passenger side.

When the audio location is set to the back speakers the volume is like 1%. some sounds comes out however its like theres no speakers in the back.

Got it serviced a few weeks ago and the dealer said the speaker situation has something to do with the software and said the demo model does the same thing. The seat issue they could not replicate.

Maybe two thing to watch out for if you are buying too and testing it out. everything else is super. great car.

I have Executive Plus also.

There is a new software update available on Hyundai website and it has helped with the low volume output from the rear speakers.

Overall, i am satisfied with the car. Done 20,000 km and 5.5L/100 km fuel consumption.

fluffykre · 11-12-2021 11:43pm

Thanks @masterboy123

Do you have a link ot the website and did you updated it yourself of leave it to the dealer? DO you recall what software version you are on now?

It is a really solid car, the hybrid is so smooth to drive and constantly getting 5.6 l / 100 km which is good for the size of the car

I did the update myself. It's Gen5W software version.

There is a Facebook group and few people are from Ireland also. It's great for discussion and that's where i found about the update. The name of group is :

2022 Hyundai Tucson 4th Gen NX4 (VERIFIED GROUP)

The new Kia Sportage is soon avalible to order and will be in KIA showrooms from January. Just something else if a KIA dealer is nearer to you or you prefer the KIA Sportage better. I think the Sportage has a nicer dash, the touchscreens in the Sportage are taken straight from the EV6 and there is some nice details and touches in its interior too although there is nothing wrong with the dash in the Tucson it just looks a bit boring but maybe it's easy to keep clean.

I pick Hyundai over Kia in terms of reliability and durability.

EV6 has ongoing heat pump issues in their brand new cars.

In terms of infotainment system, I am very satisfied with the new Tucson and their mobile app comes in handy as well.

At the end, it depends on the buyer what excites them.

bazz26 · 16-12-2021 6:34pm

Kia and Hyundai are sister companies. I don't see how one would be exclusively more reliable than the other given they share nearly everything between them.

Truckermal · 17-12-2021 9:25pm

Buy cheap buy twice. The Kia looks much better as that Hyundai yoke is a horrible looking yoke.

Toyotafanboi · 17-12-2021 10:28pm

I think the Tucson is a real grower visually, at first i thought it was very fussy but it actually isn't an ugly car by any means and i think that's reflected in how well it's still doing, despite looking noting like it's predecessor.

I think it will age quickly though because it's a fairly controvertial look.

I think they both look great certainly a lot more interesting than anything from VW or Skoda and I generally like Skoda. We had two in the family 20+ years ago. Now saying that if Skoda can do for the next Koroq and Kodiaq what they have done for the latest Octavia then there is hope for them in the VW group at least. I can not say the same for VW.

Toyotafanboi · 18-12-2021 6:40pm

I dont think VW or VAG group need your hope in the Irish market with 3 of their 4 brands in the Irish top 10 and VW itself only missing the number one spot to Toyota by approx 350 units.
