2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited AWD

Hyundai completely redesigned its Tucson compact crossover for 2022, giving it bolder styling, more tech, new engines, and a new transmission. The Tucson was Hyundai’s best-selling vehicle in 2022 and delivers good value for the money. The cabin has a generous amount of space, with plenty of headroom and legroom, and its height makes it easy to get in and out of. There’s good interior storage, and its cargo space is among the best for small SUVs. The Tucson has a lot of convenience features, too. The front seats are heated and ventilated, and the rear seats are heated. Interior lighting is good, and the center-stack layout and controls are easy to access. All trim levels have basic ADAS features, and higher trims offer more sophisticated ones, such as a surround-view camera. Unfortunately, there are negatives as well. The Tucson’s only engine (185 hp) feels underpowered, with a lagging initial throttle response and nonlinear throttle surge. The brake feel is spongy, and the brakes sometimes squeak. The Tucson’s ride is comfortable on smooth roads but turns harsh on rough pavement. The seats are too firm and lack adjustability. Most controls are operated via the touch screen and don’t provide feedback - some hard buttons and knobs would be an improvement. Finally, large rear roof pillars obstructs visibility
