Re: What is the car in the Carwow advert.

On the subjct of ad blockers which I had no idea existed, can anyone recommend a good free one that works with Windows 11. I have had a look online, but like many other searches, it's a bit of a minefield. You could try AdBlock which I use. It's a bit of a mixed blessing as I have to disable it in ...

Re: No longer an issue?...

Is it my imagination, or have the reports of flat 12V batteries, with owners locked out and dashboard settings 'reverting to default' These were very common at one point and now seem non-existent.... As one of the main complainers last year, I was thinking of posting a similar opinion. That's not t...

Re: 2021 Tuscon Nav update

From what I can remember from the update I did last year, there is a prompt to either keep the car running or to continue after the ignition is switched off.
I've never tried the latter but I know other members of the Forum have with no problem.

Re: Fuel Filler Flap not sitting flush

Unless their business model has changed, car brokers only provide prices for those cars for which they have dealer contacts. That means that all new cars originate from one supplying dealer or another. Brokers are not in the business of servicing or repairing cars; that is where the dealer network ...

Re: Fuel Filler Flap not sitting flush

I bought my Tucson from a Broker but have it serviced at my local Hyundai dealer. They fixed the filler flap FOC with no quibbles as it's plainly a Warranty issue.

Re: Which Model?

As far as I'm aware, the Tucson only comes with variations of a 1.6 engine. I think the models in USA come with 2 liter engines but if you visit the Hyundai website you will see that you have a choice of 1.6 with or without various hybrid options.

Re: General impression

I'm going to throw my hat in with the Tucson admirers. It's the best looking car around (especially the profile) and it's no more complicated than you want it to be. I particularly like the warnings of movement when reversing out of a parking space, I've come to trust this as it sees potential dange...

Re: Using media while parked on ACC start button position.

I have spent some time in my car waiting for "Management" to appear after shopping, visiting etc. and always leave the ignition on with the car in Park while either listening to the radio or playing music on a USB. It was pointed out in earlier correspondence that the Hybrid Battery needs ...

Re: Speed limit display of 37 mph

Hi Has anybody else come across this? I collected my new Tucson Ultimate Hybrid two weeks ago. I'm getting to like it quite a lot as I iron out niggles (and learn how things work!) One thing I cant fix though is the speed limit display on the sat nav and the drivers display. I live outside of a 30 ...

Re: Tuscon facelift 2024 pics

There are now a number of videos on youtube showing some of the changes arriving in the next year. One such is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG4AbUwDbog For my part I think that Hyundai are making unnecessary changes and spoiling the whole concept of the original design. The front DRLs look great ...
