Starcar2022 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I am actively contemplating replacing my 7-month-old MG HS PHEV with a Hyundai Tucson Ultimate PHEV. I've read so many reviews but would appreciate user feedback on the new Tucson if feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcar2022 Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hello, have you bought one or are you planning to order one? I bought mine in January—an ultimate plug-in with a tech pack—and was told it would arrive in June. Then we got emails saying it would arrive in April, then May, and then June. The most recent email said there are no delivery dates—it will arrive when it's ready. So, if you order the car, you might get it in six to nine months, if that makes sense. As for the car, it's a good one, but like most new cars, its software has some bugs that need to be fixed. like the time and date not being saved in the car or other places.

Starcar2022 Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not yet ordered, but factory construction is expected to take 35 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENVIOclev Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 that seems to make sense what colour do you have in mind. I ordered the dark night grey, but the amazon grey looked nice, but in the light it was a greenish grey, while the dark night is more like a blue grey.

ENVIOclev Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Now that's a lovely colour in the sun, and the metallic red is an interesting contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcar2022 Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 That looks great in the sun, and the metallic red is another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENVIOclev Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 How many horsepower is that? The 1.6-liter gasoline engine has 180 bhp, and the electric engine gives the car a total of 265 bhp, but it can only pull 1.6 tonnes. I thought they were going to stop using diesel engines.

Starcar2022 Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'm not sure of the BHP, but it's a huge vehicle to move about for a 1.6-liter engine, which is why I'm selling my 1.5-liter MH HS PHEV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenishP4 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just now, Starcar2022 said: I'm not sure of the BHP, but it's a huge vehicle to move about for a 1.6-liter engine, which is why I'm selling my 1.5-liter MH HS PHEV. My Santa Fe PHEV has a 1.6-liter petrol engine, and I can't say that I've had any issues with it up to this point. Having said that, the vehicle that came before this one was a Peugeot 5008 equipped with a 3-cylinder 1.2-liter petrol engine. Although it was a lighter automobile (1400 kilogrammes as opposed to 2100 kilogrammes), it sometimes seemed slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENVIOclev Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 As far as cars go, companies that make them are getting ideas from companies that make motorcycles. We will be driving big cars with 200 bhp engines that are 1 litre in size. The Tucson plug-in has 180 bhp, and when I test drove it, I thought it was pretty quick.
