Driver Assist Cruise is Terrible.
I leased a 2021 Tucson and absolutely loved it. I would frequently think about how much I loved it when I would sit down to start driving. I do a ton of highway driving w/ a 40 mile commute to work. I was obsessed with the driver assist cruise, which just made my commute easy and seamless. My lease was up so needed to make a decision of what to do next. I ended up leasing a 2025 Tucson, and I can't express how disappointed I am. I am paying almost $75 more / month, so would assume that I am getting some really nice updates. Unfortunately, the driver assist is super sensitive and TERRIBLE. The alert to be looking straight ahead goes off constantly. I literally can barely glance at the rearview mirror or radio without the alert going off or the cruise just turning off. I can't wear sunglasses, or the system turns off. It's beyond frustrating, and honestly, unsafe that it turns off so quickly and/or that the alerts are creating a distraction by going off all the time. After one day of driving the vehicle, I emailed the dealership to express this, and I didn't get anything helpful back, except to contact corporate because they couldn't help. It's so disappointing to go from loving a car and singing its praises to now dreading having to pay for this vehicle and not being able to fully utilize the cruise control for the next 3 years. The keyless entry is also very finnicky, sometimes will just beep and beep vs. unlocking or locking like it's supposed to. Also frustrating because this feature is about convenience, not me having to dig my keys out. Keyless entry is additionally a safety feature if i need to get into my car quickly. Since it's inconsisent, I cannot rely on that.
