After a 7 month wait for my Tucson Ultimate Plug-in, it finally got to the dealer - in the wrong colour. Ordered Black got dark knight grey.
The dealer has said that Hyundai are not making black cars!! does anyone know anything about that. Apparently Hyundai swapped the colour on my behalf, and to be honest im very annoyed.
no idea what to do now as I dont want a grey car.
I regret having black, only ordered is as sat in a gleaming black one in the show room with kids, mines lease so cant swap sorry lol
one careful owner 16.500 miles and covered in stone chips and a nightmare to keep clean
I'd have the dark night or grey if had my time again
TUCSON, PHEV Ultimate in Black

Arrived Tilbury Docks 06/09/2022
Arrived Dealers 19/10/2022
Delivered 07/11/2022 had 8 miles on clock
My other car is grey for this exact reason. I'd love to have a black cat but I know that I haven't got the time or patience to keep it clean. Dark grey still looks very good but hides the dirt really well.

I had a domestic long hair 'cat' and the house was a nightmare to keep clean

True but would a black Tucson lick itself clean?

Agree it's tough to keep clean, but a mucky grey car doesn't fool me either. Mines in for a biweekly wash as always, looks amazing with some polish/gloss on after that, it's like glass when I'm done.
I nearly went for white, but they just don't seem to shine.
Thought I would chime in on this thread after having got my car back from my detailer. I was fortunate to get the black colour in N Line S, however my detailer noted the paint was incredibly soft and difficult to work with and I do wonder if that is why they discontinued the black colour in the end.
Leasing can be tricky in these situations, but hey, at least you're an experienced owner now with all those miles under your belt! And don't even get me started on those gleaming black showroom cars that just lure us in. If I had a do-over, I'd consider the more forgiving dark night or grey options. Thanks for sharing your experience; it's a great reminder for the rest of us to be extra cautious.
Btw, speaking of car deals, have you checked out this site I stumbled upon: https://www.jdmbuysell.com/for-sale/nissan/silvia/? It might help you find some cool options if you ever decide to switch it up.
