The model update is easier to see in action inside the car, which has been completely redesigned compared to the original Tucson introduced in 2020. The dashboard, center console, steering wheel and center armrest have also been changed. The on-board system and the dashboard display are both 12.3 inches in size. Because they are built on a common platform and have a common cover, they look like a large, slightly curved screen facing the driver. If that screen isn’t enough, you can even view information shown through the 12-inch head-up display.
Comfortable seats, upholstered in soft-touch upholstery.
Unfortunately, the automaker doesn't want to give up the piano finish for some reason, there are a lot of shiny, black, easily scratched surfaces here too. And of course, where you touch the car a lot, on the door, and around the window switches. The quality of the equipment is convincing, the steering wheel has a good grip, the seat upholstery is pleasant to the touch, and the seats are good, although the seat could be a little longer.
The nice solution is that the position of the protector seat can also be adjusted from the driver's seat, or from the rear, using buttons mounted on the side of the seat back. The striking red decorative stitching on the center console, steering wheel and seats greatly enhances the dark interior.
The interior has been completely redesigned.
The buttons on the steering wheel are real, and they are designed so that they can be used blindly after some familiarization. There is a push button, a scroll button and everything you need. Moreover, the function of one of them can be programmed, which is why it is worth creating a menu item for driver support systems, so that the multi-step path leading to disabling the license plate recognition system can be shortened by a few steps.
buttons, switches
The new climate control unit is actually a strange hybrid, with the temperature being adjusted using a handy rotary knob, but other functions also have their own direct buttons, just tucked away behind a touch-sensitive surface. It's nice that each function relating to ventilation and climate control has its own dedicated button, so it's not worth complaining too much about the fact that these aren't real buttons.
New climate control unit
They work, you don't need to dig into the menu, that's it. Above it is a row of buttons for the most important menu items and there is also a regular volume control.
There are also two USB-C charging points, one of which you can choose whether to also make a data connection when connected, or whether the socket acts as a charging point only. Additionally, there is a 12-volt cigarette lighter and a wireless charging surface above the armrest.
The gear selector lever is located behind the steering wheel in a very good place. It is no coincidence that more and more brands decide here to move the transmission that works without a mechanical connection.
The gear selector has been changed to a longitudinal switch.
Second row, trunk
In the back, the angle of inclination of the backrests can be adjusted, and you can travel in a spacious and comfortable environment, for whom this is the ticket. Even with a height of 190 cm, the legroom is more than enough, there is still enough space for a few fingers between the knees and the backrest of the front seat.
Even thanks to the additional panoramic roof, headroom is not reduced to the point of discomfort. In addition, there is its own climate control panel, although only the temperature can be adjusted on it, retractable blinds on the side windows, USB-C charging points and three-level adjustable seat heating. What else could there be needed?
Leg and head room is also generous.
The luggage compartment is very large, even in the standard five-door version, with a capacity of 616 litres, which can be expanded to 1,795 litres by folding the backrests. In this case, packages can be stacked on a flat surface, where small tabs are provided for fixing. There is another compartment under the floor, where you can store smaller, less frequently used items. The trunk is easy to use, easy to fill and you can even use an electric cooler bag in it using the 180W 12V connector.
