I got my tucson diesel platinum in January 2024. With the NH48 being riddled with traffic chaos the drive takes up to 7-8 hours which used to be 2-2.5 hour drive stretch, I have hardly been able to drive it and so haven’t been able to use it for my intended purpose so far. With negligible driving within the city due to local traffic, the odo is barely 2600k!
Last month, I had to replace entire left rear door due to damage done during some parking issue inside our building which took some while but got it done under insurance.
And now again I got a situation. The mice have done their bit and have bit quite a lot of wiring under so hood in all different places.
I am really pissed off with this thing. I really don’t know how to go about this thing. Someone please guide me through further. I normally keep my cars for 10+ years and so would want to use the Tucson with smiles all through. Need your advice. Grateful for all your help.

I'm yet to get the OTA notification in my car; I'm wondering if anyone else faced the same issue.

Thank you so much for your reply Mathan!

I ended up updating it manually using a USB stick last night. There is no discernible difference to me in the map on the head unit as such apart from the speed camera alerts, and the UI seems to be the same, which was surprising considering there is an major change in the map interface in the Bluelink application.

I've been using the 3M rodent repellent coating for our cars, which I bought from Amazon. It was recommended to me by a service centre advisor after having had a EPS wiring harness chewed off for another car. So far its worked wonders, with other cars in the same parking lot having had issues with wiring harnesses chewed off while ours remained safe, touchwood.
Unless you have tried this already and it did not deliver the expected results, there is no harm in trying this out.

Thank you for that one! Also I would want to know how does the car work after getting the wiring overhauled. Were there any glitch in overall car functioning or it remained good like it was before the rewiring was done.

This was for a Mercedes GLA and not the Tucson. It still works fine, haven't had an issue since that one time replacement. I would assume the same holds true for all brands once the damaged wiring is replaced. Bear in mind that in my case, the issue was specifically linked to the EPS wiring and nothing else.

The 3M repellent has worked well so far, and every 2-3 months I apply a generous coating in the engine bay, and wherever any wiring is visible. Your success with this experience may wary depending on how quickly it wears off depending on moisture, dust etc, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to try. There could be other similar products out there that may offer more potency or bang for the buck which I'm not aware of.

Had driven the Tuscon in Canada where it comes with a mild hybrid powertrain and produces around 230hp. Was a really good experience, but the only thing I missed was the wireless CarPlay.

I believe there is a Canadian/US variant with the smaller touchscreen system with the older software that comes with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. It comes with two scroll wheels, one for volume and one for scrubbing. For what its worth, the only downside with that is the smaller screen itself, especially if you don't mess around with the OEM software.

Thats correct, knew that before buying. But that variant had a super long waiting and also from what I remember missed out on the hybrid powertrain and some must have features.

It's easily fixable by a wireless dongle. I use a product called Carlinkit 5.0 and both AA and Carplay works wireless flawlessly.

I am also using carlinkit 3.0 (bought from Amazon) and it works as expected or better than expected.

I would recommend it to anyone who wants wireless connectivity for Carplay (I only have experience with this).

Hey everyone, I am looking for review of the 2.0L petrol Tucson, does anyone know if someone has posted it here or not? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reco. Post reading this, I purchased one myself, and seems to be working fine. Amazon seems to have a number of "MSXTTLY" carplay adapters and I could not discern a difference between them. So I selected the cheapest one at around 4700 . Looks ok to me. I had earlier purchased carlinkit, but because of the usb wire etc, it did not look sleek. This one looks better, practically invisible.

Today I gave my Tucson AWD for 1st labour free service (10K) at 9447kms, at Trident Hyundai (Kalyan Nagar, Bangalore).

At first, I was in a bit of dilemma whether to give it for service in Udupi or Bangalore. But I heard that the service quality at Kanchana Udupi is pretty bad, so Bangalore it is.

The labour is free, oil/air/ac filters are free. Getting oil change, wheel balancing/alignment/rotation, and anti-rust coating for the underbody at 3K.

The adblue level is below the half point, so I have asked them to top up that too.

Will be getting my Tucson Diesel in about 10 days now. Looking forward to providing more reviews and stories. This thread has been extremely helpful for me in making my purchase decision, was earlier going for Xuv 700 but have changed my mind.

I am also doing the same exact thing, have booked my Tucson Platinum Diesel and should get it in 10 days. You are making the right decision.
