Re: What would you change on the Tucson?

My only two niggles are the loss of settings/battery capacity issue and the fuel flap misalignment. I have the Ultimate but agree body coloured wheel arches and sills as in the N Line would be an improvement. I think the alloy design on the N Line could be better or there should be some choice. Over...

Re: 2023, the year I finally get my car?

Yes, I can’t find anything definite about a facelift for UK; there are some pictures on line of some exterior design tweaks but could be for USA/ other countries first ??

Re: 2023, the year I finally get my car?

So I shall be selling/trading in a 22 plate in shimmering silver with only 4200 miles. If anyone on the forum knows of anyone who might be interested and does not want to w...

Re: Accumulated info, experience and opinion

Many thanks for this - just wondering the source of your information - is it published anywhere? I would like to quote it back to the dealership which was adamant that there were no deductions from the total list price of £40,225 and so the luxury road tax would apply.

Re: Accumulated info, experience and opinion

Wasn’t sure which thread/topic to put this under. Have owned a HEV Ultimate 230 in shimmering silver since the end of March 2022. Have only done 4200 miles and just out of interest got an online valuation quote from Motorway (who I have successfully used before). Pleasantly surprised to learn that t...

Re: Wiper blades

My front right wiper blade has become very clunky/noisy and having researched on the forum I see others have had problems. I suspect the rubber has become hard and lost its flexibility following the hard frosts in December. I have had a similar problem with a previous car and just surprised that aft...

Re: Accumulated info, experience and opinion

Same for me. Have done 3800 miles in my 230 HEV auto and managed to get to 50.6 overall mpg in the summer. Now down to 49.5 and falling. Notice that on start up in the cold weather the engine comes on immediately and it takes some time before the EV lights up. Still very happy with the car apart fro...

Re: Tucson 230 electric driving

Agree with all the comments. My current average mpg in my 230 Ultimate Hybrid is 50.6 after 3000 miles of mixed driving. I have purposely been very light with my right foot, unlike “Old Man” 😀. Have always tried to maximise EV mode but in rare moments have enjoyed the very impressive acceleration th...
