hyundai tucson highlander 2023 review

The 2023 Hyundai Tucson Highlander is the family SUV that turns every errand into a calm, comfy cruise—no dramatics, just competence. The cabin is roomy, materials feel upmarket enough, and the safety tech suite is stacked, so the school run feels more pilot than passenger. Ride comfort is generally plush, though the big wheels can grumble on sharp bumps; the 1.6T’s dual-clutch can fidget at low speeds, while the diesel is the smooth, frugal tourer for long hauls. It steers neatly, stays planted on country roads, and never begs for a pit stop.

Running costs are sensible, the 5‑year unlimited‑km warranty is reassuring, and the boot swallows prams and weekly shops without breaking a sweat. Quibbles? Touch controls can be fiddly and it prefers chilled cruising to spirited antics. Overall: polished, practical, and posh enough to impress the in‑laws without terrifying your bank app.
