Looking forward to hearing more about this, especially as the AP has come down so much. We were seriously considering a Tucson a couple of years ago, but the interior felt a bit cheap and it didn’t feel as nice to drive as our Tiguan. Be interested to hear how you think it compares to the BMW.
My biggest concern by far with getting the Tucson was that it would feel like a step down from the BMW. In truth, it doesn’t. It’s not as engaging to drive as the BMW if you want to really put your foot down, and the engine is not as refined above 3,000 rpm, but I tend to avoid that. I’d have to be honest and say that models with black leather interiors, or cloth / alcantara interiors, did feel like a bit of a step down, but the Moss Grey interior transforms the car and it feels every bit as upmarket as our BMW that had a similar colour (Oyster) interior. It’s also a far better quality interior than the new Tiguan. Having had a number of Tiguans, I can honestly say that the driver aids work better in the Tucson and are, in fact, more comparable to BMW in that respect. Hope that helps.
