We were already big fans of the hybrid Hyundai Tucson, handing it our Best Hybrid Family Car award for 2022. Now we’ve got our hands on the plug-in hybrid version, which promises to be even more efficient - claiming 202mpg economy and electric range of over 30 miles. We sent Grace Webb to find out if the Tucson Plug-In is now the electrified family SUV to beat…

Good review. I’ve read more than one that complain about the lack of physical knobs & buttons as is mentioned in this video. That’s important, being unable to safely adjust settings while behind the wheel is probably a showstopper for me.

Good review, but incorrect facts. The acceleration to 62 miles (100km) is more around 7 seconds on the PHEV model. The PHEV range is also more like 32-34 miles. There are some serious flaws though - one that the reviewer fails to mention. It cannot run in pure EV mode. When the weather is warm, it'll do EV mode like 90-95% of the time. However, when it's freezing then the petrol engine runs most of the time (however the engine idles at around 1500rpm and does not power the wheels). When the weather is above 0 degrees celsius, the mpg is very good - 100-120 mpg UK if your drive stays within the ev battery range. If you run out of battery, it switches to hybrid mode, it's more like 37 mpg on the motorway and 50-57 in town.

I recently bought one of these, swapping out the Rav4 Hybrid. The suggestion that its performance is worse than the Rav4 is completely wrong. I immediately got the impression that it was a little quicker and independent tests have confirmed this. If you are going to mention performance figures you should test them for yourselves. Hyundai obviously quote them conservatively.

@bubbiz 2 жыл бұрын

But she's comparing it to the Rav 4 Plug-In hybrid right? I have a Rav 4 (2021 elec-hyb) myself thinking about switching. What about size/space compared to the Rav 4 @acer ?

@@taylorthrall7321 There is no meaningful way of giving a figure for mpg when the car is most often run in EV mode without starting the engine. On a long trip in hybrid mode around 44 mpg is about right. In this mode there is no net battery usage.

The question you should be asking isn't 'is this better than a Serrento?" but "is this better than an Ioniq 5"? And the answer to that would be No. No it isn't. While a very good car, I can't see why you'd buy it over it's full EV stablemate.

I would stay away from any Hyundai PHEV product like the plague.. In my experience the only thing worse than the reliability of Hyundai PHEVs is the way Hyundai treats their customers. I own a 2017 Hyundai Sonata PHEV, which experienced hybrid system failure on i95 (nearly causing an accident) on Aug 31, 2021. Two months later, during which time the Hyundai dealer made two unsuccessful repair attempts, I picked up my car only to have Hybrid system failure occur for the third time before I even made it to the first traffic light. The service center then told me the car (under warranty) needs a new battery pack, which I have been waiting for over the past FIVE months. The car has been out of service for SEVEN months and Hyundai has refused all buyback attempts. I bought a new Rav4 Prime in Feb…..If I ever get my Hyundai back it will be sold.
