If you want to do it on your own then you can visit Hyundai update website and do it on your own. They have windows app for updates and you can install that app on your computer and follow the instruction mentioned in the app. Please make sure that you have 32GB pen drive ready with you.
Thanks for your advice. I finally gave up on the OTA update and downloaded the update on a pen drive. After connecting the pen drive to the car the process took about 35 minutes.

Now I need to observe whether the starting problem recurs in the coming days. If it doesn’t, it may lead to the conclusion that the problem was linked to the OTA update getting stuck.

Can anyone explain what exactly happens by clicking <RESET NETWORK>? Probably it would deactivate and reactivate the internal SIM, thereby solving some connectivity issues. Since my OTA update got stuck, data transfer rate of the internal SIM could be an issue. By the way, can anyone tell me the name of the Service Provider of the internal SIM? Also, is it possible to find out the phone number of the SIM and use it to make and receive calls?

Re: 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review

Hello fellow members,
I am looking to help my father buy a petrol car in budget of up-to 33L.
He’s 62, doctor based in delhi.
He wishes to have a car that he can possibly drive for 15 years.
He used to drive a Fiesta (highways and family) and grand i10 (local 5-10km). Fiesta was replaced few years ago with an old 2014 superb, however the maintainence that superb demands has been constant pain. He basically feels unreliable to go long distances on it.
Tried Creta, Elevate but the rear seats are not that great.
He s not keen on vw/skoda again.

The key contenders we have shortlisted are:
XUV700: haven't had a Test drive but heard there is a consistent electrical problems that keep cropping up.
Innova hycross: sounds about right in hybrid but doesn’t inspire any excitement however seems to be the most practical and reliable?
Tucson Platinum petrol: this seems really interesting and overall I can see apart from few issues most owners are fairly pleased. I ustd the petrol is not that sought after but my dad s requirement would not be that worthy of a diesel plus in NCR it doesnt seem worth the investment.
Not sure as platinum wont have adas features so that forward collision warning problem may not occur? Other concerns noted are low headlamp throw, being a ckd unit with limited sale the service could present challenging potentially if spare parts arw not that easily available. Theres a new model on the horizon with a refined interiors and a new dashboard probably sometime in the next 6months or so however the price may increase and the car may go out of his budget.

Any suggestions are recommended?
Thanks

ADAS hasn't been a problem for me. Its only a problem when people dont drive safely. I have driven in Mumbai traffic and I have driven extensively on highways. The car has never applied emergency brakes. So that should not be a reason for concern. Signature features like Automated tailgate would be useful for an older gentleman like your dad, and ventilated seats would be useful for delhi summers/Winters. I find driver memory very useful as well.

Not sure if and when that would come. Hyundai does not refresh CKDs very often.

If I recall right it's Vodafone. Will check where I saw that. I don't think it's a calling SIM but data only like Airtel Air Fiber.

I don't agree with that generalization. Like many others on this Tucson thread have said, emergency braking is an issue in city traffic. I kept it on for many months as highways don't have cyclists and bikers a lot. I ran into it twice only even though the cyclist was at least 25-30 feet away, but the braking is so powerful in those cases that it jolts you.
Nonetheless Platinum doesn't have ADAS so no worries.

Re: 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review

Hello BHPians

I have been an avid consumer of teambhp content for a few years now and wanted to contribute back in a small way.

We are celebrating a year of owning Tucson HTRAC. At 67K+ ODO, I can vouch for this premium crossover as the best one can get at its price point.

Requirements
1. A reliable mile muncher to be driven primarily on highways on a daily basis
2. An SUV, automatic with good ride quality
3. A segment above the Kushaq/Taigun/Vitara/Creta/Seltos (I have a 6 year Gen4 Honda City in garage as well)

Cars Considered
1. Kodiaq - had everything going for it, fell head over heals - dropped for 2 reasons: petrol only, a fuel guzzler for my requirement
2. Hycross ZXO - Toyota & Dealer messed up my booking, no value for being initial customer in the queue and random allotments by dealers
3. Jeep Meredian - Liked the looks and the package, dropped because of doubts cast about Jeep's continuity, no service options in my town
4. Ioniq 5 - The car I wanted to buy, definitely ahead of its times - couldn't muster enough courage to bite the EV bullet and did not have enough confidence on my driver to take care of this modern car
5. Tucson - visited Hyundai to check ioniq and while we waited for the test drive, checked this out

The purchase decision was head over heart one, with the nod from family post the Tucson test drive, we added our "Starry Night" to the garage in July'23.

Pros
1. Gem of a package - Engine, Transmission, Handling, Ride Quality, all the creature comforts
2. Being a CKD, it is well put together - materials used are top notch, excellent NVH levels
3. It is a looker. The design is bold and unlike anything in the market now, it grows on you over a period of time
4. Excellent highway mileage - cruise at 90-95kmph and you end up with 19kmpl. City mileage varies between 12-14 kmpl.
5. A family car - has something for everybody, can gobble up all the luggage wife wants to carry
6. Stealth mode by default - Unless you are an auto enthusiast this car is mistaken for another Creta on the road

Minor Irritants
1. Sound System - the BOSE speakers do not do justice for an audiophile in this segment. You can live with it with right settings though
2. No Type C USB connector by default in 2023
3. ADAS settings to be sorted every time you start the engine, waiting for the Firmware update which retains this setting
4. As this is LWB, having an option of 2 additional kid friendly seats would've gotten more brownie points
5. Headlight throw during rains is insufficient, I guess this is the norm with most of the new cars

I have faced zero niggles/rattles so far(touch wood) and would whole heartedly recommend this car for anybody who is willing to see past the badge quotient.

Thank you for reading!

Hi - thanks for your post. I've been contemplating this upgrade as well. Where does the switch go and does it blend in with the interiors?

The light bar switch is hidden under the fuse box. Please refer the video

In Tucson, once the OTA update starts, it continues even after the vehicle is switched off. And during the OTA update none of the functions including camera will work. This OTA update cannot be interrupted manually once it starts with only one exception - stops when the battery is disconnected.

However, the network connectivity should be seamless for the entire process to be completed. I have never faced any network interruption. I start the update and reach the destination and switch off the car. And the update continues to complete.

Regarding the car not starting, pls analyse carefully once again. It may be due to other factors (I doubt the OTA update may be a reason - not 100% sure though) also which we may have overlooked. Its best to check it with the SC and run the diagnostics for any error code or anything.

Re: 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review

Hi Tarund, Like you I was also inclined towards the Tucson. However, on a suggestion from a fellow TBHian, I checked out the Ka Seltos. What I saw, I liked it. I always felt that the Tucson was over-priced, and, after seeing the Seltos, I was convinced that it is so. Plus, the Seltos being a big seller in Kia's lineup meant I would not be saddled with the problem of spare parts and importantly, service centre having the experience of handling it. This is another problem with Tucson, it is a low-sales product, I suspect that the service centers may not have experienced people to service it.

The Tucson is nearly the same price range as the Meridian from Jeep, but the latter feels like a generation behind. I did not consider the Kodiaq, nor the BMW/Audi range. I hate paying 50% over the top for the brand name. Its vanity for me.

With all this, I have veered towards the Seltos and am in the process of getting a petrol version.

You could have a 'dekho' of the Seltos

Update:
Saw quite a few cars and have shortlisted seltos , hycross and tucson. Tucson ‘s fit and finish feels much more refined than its peers.

The local dealer is offering signature petrol for 26L with 3 year warranty and 1 year insurance for its test drive 2022 dealer car.

What do you think about this?
Could senior members guide on how to go about it and what things to consider eg can there be any loopholes in warranty terms or insurance terms. Am also thinking of getting a PDI by Zekardo done.

Warm regards,

Any demo car is an abused car. Irrespective of the brand. Period. There is nothing wrong with buying a demo car though.
If you are still interested, please do a thorough PDI before committing. Zekardo is a good. Make sure that you extend the warranty to the maximum period possible. Other than that it is subjective.

Update 2:
Got PDI done by PDIboss.
The guy highlighted that the car has been painted except the roof however no other issues noted. You are right the key looks like a 5 year old car’s key. However it seems good in every other aspect apparently.
The dealer initially denied any painting -> a little touch up here and there due to sticking of test drive vehicle signs and all -> gradually the MD of the store admitted that it has been painted however they ll not reduce price further but will be happier to offer a certificate which clearly states exactly what has been done and will mention that its not an accidental vehicle.
I don't know why in India one can’t expect a fair and truthful dealing.
Thanks to the forum else I would not even know what is a PDI.

Anyways,
Should the price be negotiated further and if yes around how much.
Initially they had quoted 29L , we said 25L and then we settled at 26 however the dealer ship is not ready to negotiate further.
Have attached second hand car prices in delhi on olx as a sample. Its interesting to not how people say tucson has zero resale however it is able to hold some value after 2-3 years apparently.

Apart from this dealers are saying platinum petrol hardly sells hence we dont have it and signature is the only one available.

I dont know if its a particular dealership thing or the new model is coming or dealers are not interested in selling this at all?

The other reasonable option is innova hycross.
Which doesnt feel exciting at all but is the only safe reliable option.
I would be happy to stretch a lil and consider tiguan but that stretching i don't think will lead to a fuss free ownership.
XUV700 : heard it also like VW cars often presents with niggles here and there esp. electricals.

The car market feels in a dismal state with cars being loaded with features but the quality overall seems dismal.
Any advice or alternatives in the situation?

My 2 cents. There are not many folks in public who know Tucson exists. It's test drive is usually requested by folks who knows what it is and have driven refined vehicles. The gearbox is conservative and very hard to rash drive this car.

The engine-gearbox are sealed units and will be rare that they were opened due to faults without service records. Even then a dealership is best place to manage such stuff and they maintain their vehicles in good state.

I know Hyundai dealership owner who used the TC for his personal use and there were few users requesting Tucson TD.

Finally you are getting it at the price of Creta. Even for XUV top end to give these features you will have to spend 6-7 lacs more and peace of mind was still not guaranteed.
I don't think it's as great a risk.
