Hyundai Tucson (2015 - 2020) Premium 1.6 GDi 132PS 2WD (09/2018 on) 5d Owner Review

Having researched and test driven a number of alternatives, I opted for the Tucson as, in my opinion, it offered me the best blend of practicality, useability and equipment level for my money. While not perfect, the car comes as close to being so as any other I have experience of in its class. The ride could be smoother, especially over poorly surfaced roads, but then I have discovered that this is pretty general for this type of vehicle, and no worse than a Land Rover Discovery costing considerably more. And while the 1.6 GDI petrol engine fitted to my car is neither particularly frugal or powerful, it is very quiet and smooth and, as I am now retired and do not do a particularly high annual mileage now, it suits my purpose. Added to this and as my car when purchased was only just over a year old, I have benefited from some four years of Hyundai's five year warranty. Though I have to say that the Tucson is the fifth Hyundai I have owned and I have so far had no cause to teset the efficacy of said warranty. Yes, I would recommend this car. Whether you would view it as "the best car you've ever owned" is, of course, entirely subjective. However you will get a dependable, well equipped and user friendly SUV.
