WARSAW, POLAND • FEBRUARY 2022, 00.00 AM
Cruising around Warsaw past-midnight, in the 4th generation Hyundai Tucson who has been officially launched in 2020. It comes in 16 different combinations incl.: manual, automatic, front wheel drive, four wheel drive, petrol, diesel, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, from 116hp to 265hp.. The one I drove was the most basic version you can get with no fancy options : 2021 Hyundai Tucson IV 1.6 T-GDI 150hp DCT --- and it cost exactly 133.900PLN/€30K/$33.8K (price may vary for eur/usd).

😱 FIRST IMPRESSION ?
The Hyundai Tucson in standard version, is a little bit like my channel, you can clearly see some efforts has been done, but it's still not what it should be. They clearly worked hard on the front which is a proper head-tuner (like a "panty dropper" in the fragrance industry) and this is where everything stops when you expect the rest to be exhilarating, which is all but that. The Tucson looks much better than it actually is : poor interior design, cheap feeling, android screens of 2010, brutal driving even in eco mode (spinning wheels was very common and you certainly don't feel relaxed) --- BUT, with the MG EHS I drove back in France, it's the second car where I could fully extend my legs in the second row with tons of head room (I'm 192 - 6"2).
🤔 WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
[ + ] Relatively cheap
[ + ] Spacious front row
[ + ] Spacious second row (lot of headroom)
[ - ] Brutal driving even in eco mode (high revs & slow gear changes)
[ - ] Very poor interior quality (standard version)
[ - ] Disgusting center console & screen quality
[ - ] No ambient light
[ - ] Heavy to open trunk
[ - ] No LED lights as standard (old school yellows = poor night visibility)
= I rather kill myself than having to drive thay car once again!!
