2016 Hyundai Tucson NYC Drive

Hey Love Bugs!!!

How are you guys doing? I know, I know long time no see! I am back with a vengeance though! So if you are subscribed to my Youtube channel you would have already known. I got the chance to drive around New York for Hyundai's recently redesigned midsize crossover vehicle, the 2016 Tucson.



Now you all know I am not going to give you all of the car guy talk ( no offense but it goes over my head). This was the first time journalists had the chance to test drive the vehicle before the model hit dealer showrooms this month.

According to some sources, crossovers are one of the top-selling vehicles. Hyundai has re-invented the popular segment by adding industry first features into the Tucson.

Here is the itinerary of what was in the email. 

Drive details:

We will start downtown in Manhattan’s fantastic Chelsea neighborhood with a product presentation on the all-new vehicle, followed by a scenic drive up the Palisades Interstate Parkway, a jaunt through Harriman State Park, and a return trip down to NYC for lunch. 

Some highlights from our event will include:

·         Presentation and interview opportunities with Hyundai executives

·         Opportunities for B-roll footage with NYC landmarks as the backdrop

·         Opportunity to drive the all-new Tucson

Now on to my review!

I personally liked how quiet this vehicle was! I could hear if someone honked but not the noises that normally come with driving in NYC. I liked the size of this vehicle as well. As a mother I would like to say the fact the trunk opens without needing to dig in my pocket is a great addition to the vehicle. I think they had us moms in mind when they thought of this! Well actually for anyone who doesn't want to put things down to pick it up again. I also liked the fact the crossover maneuvered in traffic with ease. I never felt like we were gonna hit someone or something and it went around corners in a wonderful way. It was also comfortable in the back. I also loved the amount of control on the steering wheel for music and navigation and also volumes.


Cons would have to be the censors! I love that they keep us safe but unfortunately if you give someone space in front of you and someone is on your ass, it will keep going. It is very sensitive and lasts a bit longer than I prefer as well.


All in all I liked this vehicle. Would I recommend it? Depends on what you are looking for but ultimately I say yes!
