Not as great as I’d hoped or expected

I like many things about the car. But the technology is not very intuitive. In fact, I think it’s unnecessarily complicated. And some features that I had in my 2019 Kona are not available in this one which boggles the mind. Like automatic windshield wipers. Why in the world would you have a 2026 car with so many supposed bells and whistles and not have that? Also, my whole experience with my Hyundai dealership was much worse than when I bought my 2019. That was a whole reason why I was loyal. But I definitely wish I had shopped around a little more to be honest.

It's not for me.

Research before you buy this vehicle.

Great options

Was not in the market for a new car, Hyundai contacted me to purchase my Tucson, started working on research, wanted smaller car with hybrid engine, got all the bells and whistles I wanted. Very pleased with changes and upgrades made with the 2026 model. I’m also pleased with warranty.
