Which you would normally expect from a brand new release. For a compact SUV where the appeal lies in the interior this is a downgrade IMO.
Your mummy transporting kids and doing shopping turbo engine and AWD means squat.

Okay. You've got me. Your debating skills are far superior to mine. I will bow out of this one. Everything on this car is either a freakin downgrade, or just doesn't matter, because you said so.

Read the posts bud. There's an overwhelming distaste to the Tucson's interior.
Nowhere is there praising toward the engine, diff lock, turbo, fuel consumption etc.

This is a "interior" vehicle must be marketed as such.

No bud, you should read the posts again. It's only the infotainment system which the distaste here was for, which is why I did mention it in my original post to you. The iX35 did not have a better system, so this can't be seen as a "downgrade"... It's just an SA ripoff. Everything else is an upgrade, as all press releases seem to indicate. I mean, I know some people don't grasp all the technical terms, but you just have to look at the photos I posted of the interior, to see that the new one is better. Still plastic. Still won't buy one... but better nonetheless.
 
Looks great in white

Yes it looks really good like I mention prior in this thread; better looking than the pig-face new Sportage.

The 2004 infotainment system for a R499k vehicle not so much...
 
"Otherwise, as with so many other things in modern life, I’ve been mostly preoccupied with the stuff that appears on the Tucson’s infotainment screen. Here, of course, is where the niggles ruck up like a bed sheet on Sunday morning.

By and large, happily, it’s fine. Being fast and responsive in the processor makes it easy to forgive underlying faults in the software — and so far my cringes have been modest.

The worst — and bear with me here — is rather modest. It involves the ringtone that plays through the speakers when you receive a phone call while attached via Bluetooth.

Most cars will simply relay whatever the phone does through the speakers. But the Hyundai suddenly comes over all clever and plays from its own selection of ringtones instead."

Issues with this system while SA stuck with a system from the late 90's....
