That AWD traction control problem exist for years for their system. I have the 2016 Tucson, when it is suffering some kind of traction issue that confuses it, it will cut off all the power control from your gas control for a sec to 3 depends. Many times I got stuck when I turn into small road with snow and the power for cut off when my rear end still on the main road. (Yes, people slam brakes behind me thinking I'm an idiot, why don't I push my car thru) Traction control off trick is kinda what fix it, but the traction control off will overhead the AWD system if you are in deeper snow that needs the power to push thru. Tucson is great car, but just their AWD is hella bad.

Hi guys. So I was interested on getting a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy then I started watching KZitem reviewers like this one so I was intrigued when they mentioned 37-38MPG for 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited Hybrid. However, I started digging deep because I couldn’t make up my mine on a Calligraphy or Tucson Hybrid. So I started hitting the forums and I have read soooo many comments of ppl getting less then 30MPG on the Tucson Hybrid but also forums of a lot of ppl mentioning how they are having jerky/stuttering driving experiences after purchasing the Tucson. After reading the forums and the nightmare that ppl are going through with the 2022 Tucson, I think I am now second guessing on getting a Tucson and avoiding going through the headache of transmission issues or jerky transmission experiences and just getting calligraphy.

On non paved side roads this car is really quick without rattling itself to pieces. On gravel it performed equally as nice and even on wet (really wet) gras it kept on track quite well. The AWD works well, a bit FWD heavy but thats ok and the instantaneous torque from the electric motor is a big bonus in rough (ish) terrain! I’m a volunteer firefighter and needed a new car i can get on site with no matter what road (or non at all) there is… fast! This car isn’t a hardcore off road monster, no rock crawling or heavy off-road. But it’s comfy, versatile and remarkably fun to drive! As an addition; Ive formally owned a 300hp BMW e90 330XD with racing suspension and some work done so there’s some knowledge of how a car should feel when driving it hard. The Tucson isn’t a race car but if you know you rev-ranges and know how to handle it, this baby is not that slower on my handling course! And don’t listen to people wo say “that adaptative suspension isn’t worth its money”!

I'm curious if this is something software related they'll be able to fix, or if it's something that changing drive modes or switching off traction control could have resolved. 99% of CUVs never even drive on dirt, let alone off-road, so I suppose it's also possible that the vehicle simply wasn't designed for it.

There are probably many other settings he didn't attempt during this review that might have provided a different result.

@@jaginaz People were discussing this review on some car forums. From what I recall, the gist of it was that the hybrid uses a 6-speed version of the 8-speed auto found in the regular Tucson (which did quite well on this test). But unlike the 8-speed, the 6-speed doesn't have a torque converter. This means the hybrid is largely limited to the electric motor at extremely low speeds (0-5mph) where the combustion engine can't put all its power down. The guy who explained the mechanics behind why the hybrid failed this test also said the vehicle will still do very well driving in deep snow and ice, it's just that the transmission design is not suited (at all) for rock crawling.

And like others have pointed out, it would have been helpful if you had tested: Snow Mode, Locking Differential, and Traction Control during your mountain climbing test. It would also be helpful if you did a review of a Tucson Hybrid with around 1200 mi on it. It appears several owners, including me, begin to experience engine distress when accelerating uphill while the 1.6T engine is providing power. This for me started at around 1,000 mi and it is quite noticeable. Of course, according to Hyundai, the vehicle is not throwing a fault code. This behavior was not evident at all when new. So, a long term (really a short term) review would be welcomed.

E.g., at 18:46 in this video, the tire clearly “hits” the “angled” edge of the large rock with the front right tire, so much so the back of the car practically lifts up in back as its forward motion is stopped by the rock. Contrast that with at 9:00 in the other “snow mode” video you mentioned above where the tire is clearly a few inches to the *right* on that same rock and where it meets less physical resistance.

Ive got mine 10 day’s ago and tested it mildly because the break in period but im pretty excited to test the 0-60… the PHEV should be quite a bit spicier. The off road testing will be done soon after installing sone skid plates… i think it will perform much much better after switching off the TC and I’m curious how the dedicated off-road modes in the PHEV will perform

It’s really weird he didn’t try the different awd modes🤔. I mean there is a mode for snow and mud. Also why not just turn traction control off and try it like that? Usually these are quite good reviews but these decissions seem weird. Otherwise these are exellent reviews! One of my favourite channels👍

I have the SEL model that has the slightly smaller screen but with some more physical switches which is nice. The one thing that I still don't understand is that the SEL and lower apparently only get wireless carplay, but the limited only gets wired. I understand if wireless is the premium optional feature, but why is wireless the only option??? Luckily I haven't had any issues with it in a while, but there were a few times where the system was completely unresponsive. Took a while to figure out that the small button on the dash could be pressed to reset the system in a few seconds, but the inconsistency of carplay integration is head scratching.

The two systems were likely designed by different teams at different times and were each affected differently by the chip shortage of the past ~2 years. This sort of oddity is becoming quite common in Ford’s tech packages too, for example.

the stuttering was coming from the electric motor inbetween the internal combustion engine and the transmission, and the ICE being off at low speed. Hyundai's drivetrain layout for their hybrids is quite different from the more typical one that Toyota and Ford use, and _those_ systems are able to mix power/torque from multiple inputs more effectively. Is there a way to force the 1.6L to stay on even at low speeds? Perhaps Sport mode? Or maybe Snow/Ice or Winter (whatever they call it) for the sake of keeping the cabin heated?

Boy the Seltos and now the Tucson. Lesson is don't buy a Hyundai or Kia product if you want to go off road.

Even the Rav4 hybrid does better than this and that isn't a traditional auto transmission.

I doubt you could get up a slippery steep hill without snow tires. I find your review interesting but flawed. FYI - who the hell goes off road on Eco up a hill?! Seriously - you are not a good off road tester nor can you compare it to say a Jeep or 4 Runner or new Broncos - which this is NOT?! So - strange review. I'd buy a new Bronco if I want that performance or 4 Runner that can- sorry Jeep no way. How did Tesla's Y SUV handle this?
