2023 Kia Seltos

compact

The transmission is also surprisingly smooth in heavy traffic considering that it's a DCT. Overall, I'm a big fan of this compact SUV(?)

FIL visited, drove it, went back home and is now looking at new Kia SUVs.

comfortable

I have a spinal injury and I find the seats and suspension to be very comfortable even over longer drives, and when you use the driver assist features even longer trips aren't as tiring.

engine

With the turbo motor it has very good acceleration and decent gas mileage.

The engine puts out plenty of HP and torque to make the car responsive and it's quick which is very important when merging onto highways or general overtaking.

feature

2022 Hyundai Tucson

phone

Also, the gloss black is not a finger print problem any more than your phone or ipad. I can say more

Occasionally won't connect to iPhone (but fixes itself the next time the car is restarted). 4.

Doesn’t remember what you use for phone or Bluetooth device if multiple devices are used.

Also on the base hybrid- heated seats, heated mirrors, all the safefy&#47;driving features, easy phone connectivity, power driver seat, 4 driving modes, low speed 4WD lock, automatic high beams that work great, tows small trailers with high MPG, 6 speed auto with paddle shifters.

Haven't been able to get Android Auto to work more than once, and dealer wasn't helpful in figuring out the issue.

From what I read the only real negatives should be the upgraded 10.25 touchscreen info system which will not have wireless apple Carplay&#47;Android Auto.

radio

While not having the radio, it affected Bluetooth, Siri etc.

There is this little noise coming from somewhere around the passenger side panoramic sun roof when starting forward or reverse and it sounds like something sliding back and forth in a metal channel.

People complain about the piano black trim around the center (radio and HVAC controls)
I keep a microfiber in the center console, takes literally 30 seconds to wipe off any fingerprint smudges or dust.

Wish there were a spare tire and normal control knob for the radio.

noise

I have gone through 2 windshields due to rock chips cracking(hopefully just bad luck)

3 weeks since they "fixed" my car, it  has cutoff on me 3 times and has a hard knocking noise.

Also, the noises and beeps that the car makes are overwhelming.

At higher speeds it has more wind noise towards the rear

windshield

The materials in the cabin feel first rate, from the ridged volume and signal and wiper

brake

After vigorously stepping on the brake it started.

The auto hold feature, which allows the car to brake itself after stop without holding the brake pedal, was one I didn't think I would use.

There is space for one, so i ordered a compact spare from ebay, which came with a jack.

You’ll not find more car for the money anywhere stop looking if you want the best compact SUV out there, and head to the Hyundai dealership.

It’s a great vehicle with more bells and whistles than more expensive SUVs.

The safety features standard on the Limited are numerous and cost a extra on a lot of SUVs, even more expensive ones.

I love that so many of them came with hitches as a proper SUV should and roof rails!

Has increased passenger and cargo room from last year and very good on gas for this size SUV.

We chose a mid level Tucson and, I can't say enough wonderful things about this SUV.

I purchased the first 2022 vehicle delivered to South Texas and loved it at first sight and I don’t know what any manufacturer can come up with to make me want to trade my SUV!!! !

I have the all wheel drive version, you won't go off-roading with this SUV,

Overall, this was also cheaper comparing apples to apples with other smaller SUVs like the RAV4 or Ford Escape.

Ride comfort is very good, even with the 19” rims.

I believe that this Tucson has more tech, comfort and luxury than comparable cars costing 50% more.

but this is the most comfortable car we've ever had.

Amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride, amazing new design.

Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and extremely attractive.

my family loves the styling , ride and comfort

ride

Did a bit of customization and it's a great all year type ride

The touch screen, the digital dials and the quiet ride remind me of a Mercedes in a South Korean skin, with a much lower price.

The ride it great, very smooth on these horrible Louisiana roads.

of more concern, the audio affects all of the safety feature warnings.

I use this feature when there’s a lot of rain as it gives me extra confidence against possible skidding.

Outstanding, loaded with great options, reliability record and can’t beat Hyundai warranty!

The warranties are amazing as are the safety features and Hyundai's after sales support.

Many of the features have been great to use.

I love a lot of the features in this model.

A good idea in theory, BUT, this creates a dangerous issue if you are driving on a dark country road or on a main divided highway and your vision to the side is partially obscured by this feature.

button geari changes, but it seems to work
 it has a host of safety features that seem to work well .

Car drives nice and smooth, I just haven’t gotten 25 mpg yet, lots of very cool options

2022 Mazda CX-5

heat/air-control

I myself prefer a touchscreen over the knob control and it does lack a hands-free lift gate and a real remote start (hate the app-only remote start!).

I got leather seats, AWD, blind spot monitoring and cross traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, heated seats, dual climate controls up front and leather wrapped steered no wheel and shifter all standard.

gear

I believe the transmission gearing could and should be modified to accommodate the lack of horsepower, and the lack of horsepower and poor MPG experience are honestly my only complaints.

but definitly for me - Also , worth a second mention , most suvs in this catagory have CVT transmissions -  Continuously Variable Transmission -   in other words , it does not have stepped gears , its like stepping on a sponge , not crisp and they try to trick you with CVTs saying you can use it like a regular transmission -  bs &#47;.

Mazda punches far above it's weight when if comes to the CX-5, and my Carbon Edition with the black gloss rims, black gloss grill, black chrome "wing" under the grill, polymetal grey paint, and red leather seats, make this car a sexy, fun-to-drive, beast, of a compact SUV!

Although I haven't had it for a long time yet, I can feel this compact suv is built well and runs smoothly.

Decent ride and performance for a 4 cyl, compact SUV.

But if you want a real drivers car that makes very few compromises, has tons of standard features, safety tech like crazy, standard AWD and something you would be proud of every time you get to drive it, the CX-5 is the compact SUV for you as it was for me!

Overall this is on top of its competition because you will not find another SUV without hard touch plastic everywhere.

Ask when comparing , or look at what type of transmission the suv you are looking at has - Then look at the cross section of a Skysctive Mazda transmission -  nothing cheap about it !

interior

I love the color, step in height, the look, the interior, the exterior.

Best and transmission is normal excellent interior is very luxury for the model, excellent quality interior and exterior, recommend for family small, motor is high performance in sport drive mode

The interior (white parchment) is very classy with plenty of accessories and features.

The interior is design and seating are sweet, the ride even and the handling are sweeter yet.

Love the red leather interior and all the options it came with.

Comfortable with a great interior and the driving experience is great.

The styling is excellent, the interior reminds me of an Acura or a Lexus, and the car is definitely a drivers car.

Very Happy with my recent purchase of my 2022 CX5 (preferred package).

I needed a reliable car, quality features and an overall highly functional car with the best  rating.

Also I love the auto start feature that lets me warm my car up on cold mornings.

Though it’s the base version standard AWD and safety features included are top notch.

Mazda has greatly improved this model in recent years with a better, quieter ride, more comfortable seating and better performance.

The handling &#38; ride is like an even higher class vehicle.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

Reverse Gear warning sound - It is much too loud and sounds like a backhoe backing up.

but at times the transmission seems to shudder into 3rd or 4th gears and almost lurches the passengers forward for a half second, but it's not consistent enough to be checked by the dealership.

The only cons are at very low speeds and very light acceleration it sometimes hunts for the correct gear.

backing

The whole parking lot doesn't need to know I'm backing out of a parking spot.

lights

I’m also having issues with the check engine light and the mechanics can’t figure out why.

Styling - especially the front daytime running lights 
2.

Putting signal lights at the lowest point on a vehicle is just asking for trouble.

but the rest of the SUV has made it a very enjoyable ride.

I've found this to be a pleasant suv to drive.

This car has more going for it in technology, comfort, and never feel a lack of power when needed.

Plenty of power, smooth ride, effortless to drive, and comfortable.

The interior is very comfortable &#38; with the Limited trim we also got the 10" screen.

Otherwise it is very comfortable and has a nice ride quality.

This Tucson is a much smoother ride than my previous version, and it has the styling that turns heads.

I'm overall very happy &#38; look forward to several years with my new ride!

People have complemented its looks on several occasions and it's a comfortable ride.

love all the safety features, the car almost drives itself.

So many great standard features, it's hard to believe.

For the price, value, and especially the maintenance package and warranty, I would definitely do it all over again.

Have the SEL premium package gas Tucson since November and I love the interior features of the car!

Selected this over the RAV4 mainly for the technology, features, and design.

Wireless CarPlay and all convenience package features are worth it.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

Also, the key on your phone will not work if you have an iPhone.

but I cannot use android auto google maps on full screen; for some reason, it shows a sidebar with the Android auto logo, which is a waste of screen space.

navigation

I also think the navigation and back up camera is not as good as the prius prime.

Try to use the map function and it would crash.

small-size

My main complaint for this model is the fuel tank, and if you are doing long-distance travel, you have to stop every 300 miles; it only holds 11 gallons, that's ridiculously small for an SUV.

For a 27k vehicle it has so much plastic that even a small light impact takes out the to low to the ground turn signals.

The biggest con is the small gas tank and range.

2022 Hyundai Venue

wheel

Had to sit further from steering wheel than my usual and it eliminated the issue,

The SEL and Limited come with 17 inch wheels and don't look cheap.

The gas mileage is amazing and for a compact suv the storage is impressive.

This SUV is surprisingly quiet on the highway and far more comfortable that one may think.

This little SUV is alot more comfortable than it looks.

mileage

Gas mileage is great - got 34 mpg first fill.

My thoughts on the 2022 Venue SEL (Galactic Gray):

- Better mileage than advertised (based on my driving so far).

Great gas mileage, very nimble in a parking lot.

Easy to park in a small place and very good Mileage in the city as well as on the highway.

The Hyundai Venue is a small very dependable SUV, it lacks off the line pick up,

.very peppy and drives very smooth for a small SUV.

Comfortable and has a ton of safety options.

2022 Genesis GV70

The fuel tank is only 18 gal so just under 400mi per fill.

The gas tank is pretty small, only a gallon larger than my previous Honda Accord, and with such a powerful engine, you can get under 300 miles on a full tank which isn't the best.

fuel

The only con I can identify at the moment is the fuel efficiency.

Lastly, the gas consumption &#38; mileage isn't the best.

Selected 2022 &#35;1 SUV for a good reason. ..

Otherwise, the vehicle was the smoothest ride of any SUV in that class that I have tested.

but needs an SUV and I am thrilled to say this is the sport sedan of suvs.

This a beautiful and luxurious vehicle with all the sporty and up greated features, as any suv on the market.

The tech surpasses what’s currently available in a Tesla Model Y (which is what I was cross shopping it with) and the ride quality is as smooth as SUVs that cost 90k+.

The car is quiet, responsive, comfortable, sporty, gorgeous inside and out, and feels very sure-footed in inclement weather.

I love the design, inside and out, fit and finish is Mercedes quality, and the tech is first class.

Wife loves elegance of interior and sound system.

So quiet on the inside and sound system is great.

I wish Genesis GV70 would offer heads-up display and heated rear seats in lesser packages, like the 2.5T Advanced, and offer the Beige interior with more gloss light exterior colors, like with the Savile Silver or Brunswick Green.

Nice finish inside and out,  and a great bang for the buck.

The interior is luxurious, the performance stunning and the tech element is out of this world.

I have been driving it for a week now and even my family and friends have been impressed with this inside and out.

It has fantastic exterior and interior styling, smooth yet quick 3.5TT engine, and all the bells and whistles to keep you excited to drive it ever time you get in.

The options and amenities Genesis included in this vehicle is amazing.

AND the best part is the safety features!

Especially like the excess of heads up safety features .

But after seeing this car in person and driving it, I think it has more style, more features, more luxury, and more power than the competition.

For the same price or less, I can move into the others and have all the features that I wanted.

Love my 3.5 turbo sport prestige package.

On top of all that it's exceptionally functional: all the safety features you can ask for, it can borderline drive itself, has remote and smart park features, and comes with Hyundai&#47;Genesis' unbeatable warranty and maintenance.

The tech package that is included is phenomenal compared to the other high end luxury brands.

Wonderfull styling comfortable for long trips.

Looks great, sporty, comfortable, great technology.

In Comfort mode it's a lux cruiser, in Sport it really changes to a different vehicle,

Blows away the X3, GLC300, F-Pace, Evoque, RDX and Q5 in comfort, ride and power of the same 2.0L-2.5L engine.

Rear passenger comfort is excellent-I only wish US spec cars had cooled rear seats.

Bold new design, beautiful style, outstanding comfort, great performance, cutting-edge technology &#38; class-leading warranty (+ extended lifetime drivetrain warranty at no additional charge through high-volume dealer).

Drive it in comfort mode and this thing is

2022 Volkswagen Taos

transmission

The transmission shifts inconsistently causing either jerking of vehicle at low speeds or inadequate acceleration when needed to merge into traffic.

I would rate this vehicle at least 4 stars if the transmission did not make driving this vehicle Work and tiresome.

The DSG transmission is a very poor choice for this vehicle.

The transmission is a bit laggy from a start

but until the embarrassing 7-speed transmission gets addressed, I wouldn't recommend the Taos to someone.

The only negative comments I have is about the transmission.

but the uneven power delivery is a hazard and I would warn others to avoid the AWD version until a future time when VW either fixes this condition or uses a different transmission in the next version.

.the car violently Jerks sometimes when stop at the light when the ignition shuts off,the lane assist will randomly shut off.

I purchased this in January and at only 4000 miles has been to the dealer multiple times for stop start stalling, EPC code, check engine light and other electronic issues.

Lately, while driving, the car will flash the check engine light when it's low on gas.

It's a very basic compact SUV that is outclassed by probably 9/10 of its competitors.

As a US Forest Researcher, I have driven many intermittent and regular SUVs.

If you are in the market for a mid size SUV the Taos is one to really consider.

This is a great first car for someone wanting a small SUV.

My kids are grown so no need for family sized SUV.

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos SUV is made by Volkswagen

but it is extremely spacious for being a smaller SUV!

but gained AWD, way more passenger space for family and friends and a more comfortable riding position for when I feel like running about.

The quiet and smooth ride of the Taos has been thoughtfully designed and engineered.
