Nice ride, clean display, messy interface, more EV distance needed.
Our Tucson PHEV rides nice and is fun to drive. It gets a reliable 40 mpg on the road. I like the clean low-slung dashboard (as opposed to an iPad-like center info screen). However, more default settings are needed on the controls so less button pushing is required each time setting off: 1) I would like the infotainment screen to default to my radio favorites, 2) I would like to default to "heat off" so that the engine does not start for short trips in coolish weather, 3) I would like to default to "Hybrid" when on road trips so to save my EV backup miles. More EV distance would be useful, say 44 miles instead of 34. The center console could be easier to clean (removable bottom to cup holder). My wife says it could be easier to enter the vehicle without bumping her head. Bright headlights seem just to make road signs glow brighter and not really change the pavement illumination. Hiding the oil fill cap seems disrespectful. Rear turn signals should be placed higher. Using a turbo and direct fuel injection makes me worried about future maintenance.
