Ultimate Hybrid with Tech Pack....
First of all love it having downsized from a Santa Fe.

Questions to ask.

Rear lower lights - LED everywhere except here and, even with Canbus bulbs, the systems too clever and shows a fault - why do I have to take wheel arch covers off to change a bulb, covers which have screws that fill with dirt and struggle to get a driver in because of the proximity to the rear wheels and, have you seen the hole that allows road debris onto the rear of the cluster where you need to pull out the bulbs.

Why no gas struts on the bonnet- cheap old fashioned bonnet stay.

Remote parking assist but no self parking, the remote can put it in a space, drive and steer. Why can't it parallel park like the santa fe, or have I just not found it yet. That surely is just a software thing as there are sensors and cameras everywhere.

Isofix brakets on the rear seats slight smaller than santa fe, need a new carabiner for the dog.

Factory fitted towbar, electrics swivel down but the top of the plug is rotated by 90 degrees because it fouls the bumper. Just extend the bracket AND no warning light or beep to tell you the trailer indicators are working. Does tell you if a trailer tail light is out though?

Other than that I'd have another one. The new santa fe is a monster and full of even more tech!

Just left feeling that hyundai did so much with this model but didn't quite finish the job off for a top range spec!

Am I being too picky?

Are you able to share any links? Is it easy to do?

Seem simple to fit.
Are these for the previous Tucson (TLe) rather than the new model - 2021 onwards (NX4 I think)? Or do they fit both models?
