    @Kezo I have a previous model Tucson on hire at the moment. Ok it isn’t exactly the same as the current version but having serious concerns over the one I have ordered. After the smash I was in at the start of February my daughter has been driving me around. If I sit in the rear seats, getting in and out isn’t easy – bizarrely the distance from the seat base to the door frame is smaller than my foot, so I can’t swing a my leg around to get out. Instead, I have to lean to the centre of the car and then put my leg out. Similarly, a small folding scooter in the boot fills it up completely. I may get two shopping bags in, but that is it. It may have to be the even more expensive Ioniq 5 or hunt around again for another vehicle.

    Hi Steve, Not driven or been in the older Tuscon, however I was cleaning th interior of mine today and can’t say I had a probem getting in/out of the rear or with foot room under the seat. Interior room is good, with plenty of legroom in the rear. The boot on the newer one is 620l and I would say its one of the larger ones on the scheme. Over the weekend I fitted my dads scooter in and 3 frozen food bags you can get from Aldi with ease, although the shape of a scooter nearly fills the floor space, I thing one bag went at the side and 2 ontop of the scooter. In camparison the Tuscon boot is nearly 100l bigger than the Ioniq’s 527l boot space. You do loose a bit of space with the Hybrid’s but whatcar suggests you can still fit 7 carry on cases in the PHEV, which has the smallest boot and matches the likes of the XC40.

    I’m happy to take any photo’s or measurements you want 🙂
