    Whils’t its less likey to occur with the hybrid 230, the system has the same design fault so, I would rule out the Tucson untill at least the facelift model appears.

    Its wrong how Hyundai is saying you will have the same issues regardless what you get, especially when Hyundai/Kia have acknowleged a fault exists.

    Simply Google Hyundai Tucson PPF issue and see the amont of complaints.

    Regards going BEV is upto you to decide sorry however, if you can have a charger fitted at home and go on a cheap nightly tariff, your running costs will be cheaper.

    On the otherhand Hybrid is still a petrol car with diesel like economy, so again a viable choice.

    If you want to stick to petrol only but, choose another manufacturer, then why not. You could always google 2024 Peugeot 308 PPF issues for example, to be on safe side.

    FWIW I had less problems with the DPF on a Skoda diesel, than I have with Tucson, which takes 80-90 miles of a 230 mile journey to clear and I’m no Sunday driver, yet still get the same issues as you. I do a 460 mile round journey every 3 weeks!
