From Kia Seltos to Tucson AWD: My brief experience with my new Hyundai

So far, I have been driving the car in the city and have clocked only 230 km on its odo.

Hi All,

I have just got my Tucson Signature AWD in Amazon Grey. I haven't had much time to drive it though and have been driving it in the city only to the office and back. I have clocked about 230 Kms on the ODO. I have done ceramic coating on the car and nothing else. I changed the wipers to frameless wipers today as I didn't like the look of the dated frame wipers that are OEM.

The best thing happened today when I got an OTA update for the NAV system and after the update, I have full-screen maps on Android Auto.

I upgraded from a Seltos GT line that I had for 2 years and my main gripes with that were:

• Firm ride bordering on harsh
• Spongy brakes
• Lack of AWD
• Not good mitigation of NVH
• Parking sensors don't become active automatically at slow speeds

From my very brief experience with the Tucson, I can say the following:

• The suspension is much more plush
• Brakes are way better in both feel and bite
• NVH mitigation is very good
• ADAS is definitely a plus

One issue is definitely the colour of the seats and it is very difficult to keep them clean. Be careful even when you go for car washes as the dirt from the clothing of the personnel could also get onto the seats as happened in my case.

I'm in the process of ordering floor mats from Top Gear in Delhi and will let you know about the fit and feel once I install them.
