30-06-2016:
Report of clutch of 2015 Hyundai Tucson burning out completely while reversing a 1400kg caravan. Car had done just 3500 miles. Dealer wants £3000 to replace DMF and clutch.
09-02-2017:
Report of foot operated tailgate of March 2016 Hyundai Tucson opening of its own accord with no key presence.
26-06-2017:
Report of revs of new 2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7 CRDI rising to 3,000 when the clutch is pressed to change gear, then returning to approximately 1,000. Could be that driver is using the high torque at low revs to drive at too low revs, so the DPF is sooting up and needs to actively regenerate.
19-07-2017:
Report of tailgate of 2016 Hyundai Tucson intermittently failing to open electrically and emergency lever needing to be employed to open it.
16-09-2017:
Report of significant vibration from powertrain of 7,000 mile 2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7 CRDI three times in the past month at motorway speeds when the car suddenly started to vibrate so badly that the driver had to stop. Possibly a DMF issue. Another reader reported something similar when ascending motorway inclines in 6th gear. (In the Tucson and Sportage the 1.7 CRDI develops its maximum torque at a low 1300rpm.) Report of similar experience on 27-8-2017 in previous model 36,000 mile KIA Sportage 1.7CRDI.
10-10-2017:
Further report of clutch problems with a Tucson 1.7CRDI, this time a September 2016. Severe clutch judder after 1,500 miles. Clutch and flywheel replaced by dealer at 4,000 miles, but judder returned at 6,800 miles. We think this is because of the comparatively low rpm at which the engine develops its maximum torque, giving clutch and DMF more work during low speed driving. (But apparently the 1.7CRDI has a solid rather than dual mass flywheel and that, coupled with maximum torque at 1,250rpm, is the reason.)
06-02-2018:
Yet another report of clutch, dual mass flywheel and starter motor failure, this time on a 2016 Hyindai Tucson manual. Car came "to a dead stop whilst driving with smoke coming from the engine compartment." The report owner had back was that the clutch had burnt out damaging the flywheel which in turn damaged the starter motor. The vehicle is less than 2 years old and has only done 21,248 miles. Owner quoted as £3152.
16-02-2018:
Report of "wandery" steering of 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Dealer replaced the steering rack, but steering still "not right".
16-10-2018:
Complaint of clutch judder from 2015/65 Hyundai Tucson 1.7CRDI. Goes away when engine warms up. Has been present since car was new. Likely to be DMF. Not an actual failure so no warranted fix.
10-11-2018:
Report by owner of 2015 Hyundai Tucson 1.7 CRDi 116 Blue Drive 2WD ISG Start/Stop Premium 5dr SUV Manual that suffered the common porblkem of clutch judder that there is now a fix for this. Spirit Hyundai in Corby were instrumental in getting owner's repaired, but the time taken to get it fixed has been because its a design flaw back at Hyundai. The good news is that there's a fix out there.
15-02-2019:
Report of 40k mile 2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7CRDI DCT with full Hyundai service history randomly refusing to accelerate. For example, if driver pulls out from lane one to overtake a lorry nothing happens and he has to pull back into lane 1. It even happens when going down steep hills. For example, owner was doing 60 on a dual carriageway going down a long hill (Sevenoaks to Tunbridge on the A21) and wanted to pass a lorry. Owner tried to accelerate, but the Tucson didn’t get past 60mph going downhill. Both cruise control and the speed limiter were off. The car even changed down a gear, causing revs to rise further (4th gear at 3,000rmp at 58MPH) and would not accelerate. The Hyundai dealer can find no fault even though it has happened half a dozen times now.
27-06-2019:
Complaint of 4 - 6 week lead time being quoted for replacement wheel hub seals and brake calipers on a 2016 Hyundai Tucson.
12-07-2019:
Report of manual gear selector sticking in 33,000 miles 2015/65 Hyundai Tucson bought used from Hyundai dealer in March 2019.
14-08-2019:
Report of 'flat spot' in 18,000 miles 2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6GDI 132HP manual when driver takes his foot off the accelerator pedal, then re-applies it. "The engine doesn't do anything for a couple of seconds and then comes on strong causing the transmission to take the strain. The Hyundai dealer says "they all do it" and that "nothing can be done." The car is run on superunleaded." Might be a fault with the throttle potentiometer.
21-12-2019:
Another report of a Tucson 1.6GDI, this time a 2018/68 reg automatic now at 15,000 miles. The intermittent fault occurs about every 6-8 weeks, and occurs as the car comes to a rest, the handbrake applied, the gearstick put into P and then the engine starts to shake and bang and stalls after 5-8 seconds. The dashboard states “Autostop Error - select N or P to restart the engine.” All attempts to restart the engine fail. The car needs a period of time to rest before the engibe will re-start. (See 14-8-2019.)
February 2015
Hyundai Tucson launched
New convenience features offered include heated and ventilated front seats, with longer seating cushions for enhanced support and comfort. A smart powered tailgate (which opens at the approach of the key-holder) and Smart Parking Assist System (SPAS) with parallel and bay parking function both increase everyday usability.
4,475mm tong x 1,850mm wide (+ mirrors) x 1,645mm high on 2,670mm wheelbase.
Hyundai Tucson Wheel and Tyre sizes:
16-inch with 215/70 R16 tyres
17-inch with 225/60 R17 tyres
18-inch with 225/55 R18 tyres
19-inch with 245/45 ZR19 tyres
The new-generation navigation system is more than three times faster than the previous version fitted in other Hyundai models and comes with a seven-year free subscription to TomTom LIVE services (subject to market specification).
The introduction of new technologies ensures that the Tucson is one of the best equipped vehicles in its segment for safety. These include an Autonomous Emergency Braking system - with three operation modes: pedestrian, city and inter-urban - which triggers automatic braking whenever it detects an unsafe closing speed with a person or vehicle in front, and operates from low to high speeds.
In addition, a Lane Keeping Assist System proactively corrects the steering to avoid unintended lane departure, and the Rear Traffic Cross Alert system uses radar to scan a 180-degree area behind the vehicle, alerting the driver to any approaching cross-traffic. In addition, Blind Spot Detection helps monitor traffic around the car, while the Speed Limit Information Function monitors local overhead and roadside speed limit signs and provides reminders. The Active Bonnet System raises the vehicle's bonnet to cushion the impact shock in any frontal collision with a pedestrian or cyclist.
The All-New Tucson is available with a wide range of powertrains. Two petrol engines: 135 PS (1.6-litre GDI) or 176 PS (1.6-litre T-GDI). Three diesels: 115 PS (1.7-litre), 136 PS (2.0-litre standard power) or 184 PS (2.0-litre high power). The new turbocharged 176 PS 1.6-litre T-GDI engine can be paired with either a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (7DCT) or a six-speed manual.

Hyundai Tucson gets mild hybrid
For the first time in a Hyundai, the New Tucson features a 48 V mild hybrid powertrain system which is available in combination with the 2.0 litre diesel engine.
The technology designed for electrification comprises a 0.44 kW/h 48-volt lithium-ion battery, a Mild Hybrid Starter Generator (MHSG), a LDC converter (Low Voltage DC/DC) and an inverter.
Thanks to the new electrification system, customers will benefit from a good trade-off between purchase cost and reduced costs related to fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
With this technology, Hyundai aims to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 7 per cent combined with the manual transmission in NEDC conversion.
The 2.0 diesel engine is the most powerful in the New Tucson’s powertrain line-up offering an output of 137 kW/186 PS. It comes with four-wheel drive and can be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or optionally with the newly developed 8-speed automatic transmission. By spring 2019, the 48 V mild hybrid technology will be available with new Smart Stream 1.6-litre diesel engine in the New Tucson.
