Not reliable
Hyundais are garbage. I don't know how they survive with building cheap cars with a 5yr/50k warranty model and not lose a boatload of money on all the warranty repairs. You can never get into a dealer for routine maintenance and they are always booked months in advance for warranty work to repair something. If you break down, be ready to lose your car for a week while it awaits repair. We have three 2022 Tucsons and one 2023 Tucson where I work as assigned work and personal use vehicles. We don't abuse our cars. All of the 2022's have under 50k miles and two have already had 2 fuel injectors go out. My car died on a highway the first time the FI went out at 35k, barely limped it to a shop the second time FI went out at 45k. One of the cars has had 3 injectors go out in the last 10 months. Two of them already need brake rotors replaced (they appear to warp easily) as the cars front ends shake and vibrate when you apply the brakes. We had 2 cars get oil changes the same day at 2 different dealerships. Both cars had their undercarriage skid pans come off before we got them home, most likely due to the techs being in a hurry and not bolting them back properly. The wireless carplay/bluetooth system always crashes. Apple and Google maps disapear on screen randomly almost every trip. Not impressed with Hyundai and for the amount of driving we do, I have little faith in their reliability. The only thing I really like is with the rear seats down, the cargo area is huge.

Great for a first vehicle or a backup
As a second car, or for someone's first car purchase, or a gas saver, or a beater, this car is perfect. We had 4 cylinder sedans and suvs that were our main family vehicles before. But grew out of them and into larger 3 row suvs that consume a lot of gas. This feels like it's in between both. It's not quite a mid sized suv, yet it does not feel like a compact suv. Compared to previous models, the interior feels more spacious and has higher quality design and materials. Our trim has off white leather and it looks beautiful inside. It's rather comfortable, quiet, and fun to drive for the most part, except that passengers in the back seat sometimes complain about the ride quality. Amenities are great. The tech, safety features, comforts, it's all well thought out. Sometimes I don't like some of the beeps or lane assist features, but other times I can appreciate it. Overall seems reliable, though the little 4 cylinder sometimes seems to vibrate a little too hard, and the gears are normally tuned to be a little sluggish to save gas. It can be switched to sport mode (it has a cool animation on the screen when you switch driving modes), but then the engine just revs too high and the exhaust tends to drone a bit. Normal and "smart" mode don't seem to have that issue. For going shopping or driving back and fourth to work, it's a great car. I like the looks, and the stance, though it's a little low compared to other SUVs. We took it on a 3 hour road trip once and although it wasn't the worst, it wasn't the best, most comfortable experience either. Hence why it's our second family vehicle and not our main.

Excellent Vehicle!
I love driving this vehicle. It conforms so well with my body and style of driving. I love the cruise control that allows me to set the distance between me and the car in front and adjusts automatically to their speed. The Sport to Smart option is also fantastic for when I am in heavy stop and go traffic or out on the highway. This is a fabulous vehicle!

12v battery issue detracts from a great vehicle.
Have owned a Tuscon plug-in hybrid for 18 months and recommended it to friends and family many times BUT recently had it towed after it failed to start. Turns out the 12v battery was nearly flat and this prevented the starter from working. The 12v battery is charged via the alternator attached to the gas engine. Because we use this vehicle mainly for short journeys to maximize the battery power, the gas engine does not get used very much and consequently the 12v battery does not get adequately recharged. This seems to be a design fault as other manufacturers' plug-in hybrid vehicles charge their 12v batteries via the main lithion-ion battery. The local dealer recommended using a 12v charger once a month to trickle-charge the battery. Not what we were expecting when we purchased the vehicle! Otherwise, very pleased with this vehicle.

Spontaneous glass shattering
This car has 7800 miles and while sitting in parking lot the wing window in cargo area exploded from inside blew glass to outside of vehicle could not have been temperature as I had drove it 30 miles and had used ac only sitting 45 minutes this was very upsetting for safety reasons I am very upset I have contacted the customer service for advice not got a response yet but this seems to be a imperfection in the glass upon research it can happen spontaneously and should be resolved and investigated I am not at all ok with this flying glass could be a disaster

Safety features failure
I purchased a 2021 Tucson , one of the safety features i like are the anti collision sensor as well of the 7 air bag on the interior, unfortunately i was in a accident which results in a total loss, believe it or not non of the airbags was deployed and the anti collision sensor in a medium sensitivity was not working as well. I would not recommend the brand at all. After inspection by Hyundai ingeniers they said that everything works normal lol even with the physical and obvious results. Please think twice before to decide to buy those brand. Also check the recalls that they have are a lot , and some of them related with safety features.

Great car and warranty
Great ride and comfort. Fuel economy is less than I hoped but at 28mpg. So far car is great. Did a bit of customization and it's a great all year type ride

2022 Hyundai Tucson opinion
I like the car. However I’m not in love with the car. The seats doesn’t have back support, not comfortable, interior is a little cheap, it’s a 2022 and the paint chips. Not cool. The paint job isn’t good. I’ve owned vehicles for years and the paint didn’t chip. I wish I had shopped a little more.
