Positive Owner Reviews

Smelanda A

Love my Hyundai. Wonderful investment.

I love my car. There's no problems with my car. It drives really well and really smoothly. I have only had it for three months but already it is one of my best investments. The interior is very sleek. I love the apple CarPlay feature. The stay in lane feature is pretty cool although I do not really use it.

Lisveth T

A reliable, spacious compact SUV.

The 2020 Tucson is a great compact SUV. You get more than double the space of a sedan without having to spend to much more on gas. It has great technology too. You get a lot of safety features even with the base model. I find the lane keep assist and lane shift assist the most helpful. You can definitely assure yourself that you'll be safe in this car!

Jennifer N

Efficient, reliable, fun to drive and stylish.

No problems with the vehicle. It has good acceleration when needed to access highways and navigate highway driving. The SUV is fuel efficient on the highway and has very little cost at the gas pump. It has been reliable and I have not experienced any issues with the vehicle at this time. I like the emails that include the diagnostics that include vehicle health and maintenance reminders. It has been comfortable on long trips with the heated seats.

michelle B

What I like and what needs to be changed.

I like the fact that the base model doesn't feel like it is base but I think it is missing certain things that should be included on the base models such as automatic lift gates for the tailgate, and automatic starter as well as auto dimming headlights.

Jennifer L

The sunroof covers the whole top of my vehicle making it feel super open.

My vehicle is super reliable and I have never had a problem with it for the 10 months I have owned it! I have all the features in my car making it comfortable and enjoyable. I love out my car looks both outside and inside. It is silver but the whole interior is black leather! It drives smoothly and has all the safety you will ever need for a car!

Tidha T

Tuscan is stylish and roomy without being too big.

Rides nicely safety. Remote start that turns on heated seats. My last 2 vehicles were Hyundai they are reliable; service is exceptional. When there is a concern they act quickly to resolve and the always have great warranty to ensure your vehicle last.

Monique H

Excellent car! Great choice for everyday comfort.

I haven't experienced and problems. The car runs smooth and allows for navigation to be displayed on the dashboard so you are not looking at your phone so frequently. The seats are comfortable and the back seats recline. The cargo area has plenty of space.

Allison C

Perfect trio: speed, safety and performance.

I am not a big car person but I came from a Hyundai sonata sport which I loved. When upgrading I wanted a bigger car with 4wd for the snow but an engine that could still have be zipping down the highway like I did in my sonata. The Tucson sport is perfection and the sound system is incredible!

Negative Owner Reviews

Victora

Havinga car that works

Very disappointed in this car. After two days my brand new Tucson would not start.

Ron Berman

Go when give it gas- no says dual clutch

Cannot wait for lease to end for 2018 Tucson with the "new" dual clutch. This car is a death trap. It should have been recalled for known transmission problems. Don't do it - do not own a Hyundai with a dual clutch.

BWH

Warrantee & false promises

I would never recommend any Hyundai vehicle. I have a Tuson & the front brakes & rotors had to be replaced due to "something caused the inside pad to stick" but not on recall nor would the dealership cover under warrantee . Car & warrantee is junk .

Vicky Franco

Reliable car - No

Fati O

To Tucson or not to Tucson.

It is extremely reliable. Smooth, quiet and very easy to drive around. I have never driven such a beautiful and sturdy car that made me feel confident that I was safe on the road. The bells and whistles in the car also are tremendous. There's lane keep assist, apple carplay, dual a/c system, etc. All of it is amazing and I highly recommend this car.

Susan

Remote Start

This vehicle is a complete disappointment solely due to a Bluelink remote start. Remote starts should be available on key fob not a phone app. I hate hate hate this feature and would not purchase this vehicle solely on that issue.

Aberham

Transmission over heating

Too bad my new 2020 N line transmission getting too hot!

Lynn

NEED TO KNOW

Got this car Feb.29, 2020 with 20 miles on it. Its ok don't think i would buy it again gas mileage sucks and around 30k started getting the Check Blind-Spot Collision Warning BCW system light and also Check Forward Collision Avoidance Assist System both came on and then it start Tranny cutting out then did it on the interstate with cruise control was on an the tranny started cutting out and all the lights came on and the check engine light came on and the dash warning told me to take it in TODAY for full system check. It was caused by the TCM Range Switch. With 31694 miles.

What Do Critics Say About the Hyundai Tucson?

Consumer Reports says the 2020 Hyundai Tucson offers a modern and comfortable interior, with average owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the Hyundai Tucson at 4.3/5, praising the excellent safety technology, but doesn’t like the lower fuel economy.
Kelley Blue Book users give the Tucson a 4.1/5, enjoying the long warranty, but owners don’t like the weak engines.

What Common Problems Does the 2020 Hyundai Tucson Have?

Common problems found on the 2020 Hyundai Tucson include the forward collision system not working, cracking noises from the sunroof, along with a rough idle from the engine. Overall, these problems are similar in severity to other small SUVs, with low repair costs due to the long 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.

The forward collision system not working is the most widespread complaint from owners on the 2020 Hyundai Tucson. Usually, the problem is caused by a software issue, which can be fixed through an update. Most dealerships will install the software update for free, while some charge around $50. There’s also a chance that there’s a front sensor issue, which can cost around $300 to replace.

Cracking noises from the sunroof are also found on some 2020 Tucson models at around 10,000 miles. The problem is most common with the panoramic sunroof, and is a sign of damaged seals. Replacing the seals costs around $350, depending on local labor rates. Although in many cases it may be covered by a warranty for free.

A rough idle from the engine is another problem mentioned by owners in the first 20,000 miles. Usually the problem is caused by a damaged oxygen sensor on the exhaust. Replacing the sensor costs around $250. There are also some reports of computer problems which most dealers will update for free.

There is only one recall on the 2020 Hyundai Tucson, which is fewer than many other small SUVs, although it’s more severe. The recall covers the ABS unit in the engine compartment which may catch fire while parked. Hyundai will replace the fuse on affected models for free to prevent a fire.

How Long Will the 2020 Hyundai Tucson Last?

A well-maintained 2020 Hyundai Tucson can last around 200,000 miles, which is around 100,000 miles less than the long-lasting Toyota RAV4. Regular annual maintenance costs are cheaper than some other SUVs according to data provided by Repair Pal at $425 per year.

As a used 2020 Hyundai Tucson reaches 100,000 miles, and depending on the vehicle history, owners should be prepared to replace the A/C condenser for $700, transmission mounts costing $450, along with the power steering control module which costs $500.

Kristin K

Yes. I have had my car for about 3 months and as of now it is reliable. I have had 2 problems with automatic start but nothing having to do with the actual driving/performance of the car.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is great with a standard 7-inch touchscreen stereo system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. There’s a larger 8-inch touchscreen offered, along with a more powerful stereo.

Safety technology is good for a compact SUV offering standard features including:

Driver attention monitor
Forward automatic emergency braking
Rearview camera
Forward collision warning
Lane keep assist

Optional driver assistance features include:

Stop-and-go adaptive cruise control
Pedestrian detection
Rear cross traffic alert
Rain-sensing windshield wipers
Automatic high-beam headlights
Blind spot monitoring
Surround-view parking camera system

Is the 2020 Hyundai Tucson a Good Value?

Yes, the 2020 Hyundai Tucson is a good value since it offers a long warranty, nice interior materials, and an affordable purchase price. The blue book fair purchase price ranges from $20,100 to $32,990, making it cheaper than a Honda CR-V or Mazda CX-5. When new, the price range was $23,550 to $33,300. Depreciation is better than other small SUVs, only losing around 5% of its current value per year.

What Colors Does the Hyundai Tucson Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Hyundai Tucson?

The Hyundai Tucson is a popular compact SUV that offers a comfortable and spacious interior for drivers and passengers. The 2020 model features a well-designed cabin with plenty of room for passengers, as well as a range of features and amenities that contribute to a comfortable driving experience.

The seats are supportive and well-cushioned, with ample legroom and headroom in both the front and back seats. The vehicle also has a suspension system that delivers a smooth and comfortable ride, even on rougher roads.

How Much Storage Space Does the Hyundai Tucson Have?

The 2020 Tucson offers a generous amount of cargo capacity to accommodate a variety of needs. The Tucson offers 31 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up, which is more than many other vehicles in its class. With the rear seats folded down, the cargo capacity increases to 61.9 cubic feet, providing ample space for larger items such as furniture or sports equipment.

In addition to the generous cargo space, the 2020 Tucson also provides a variety of storage compartments and features throughout the cabin. There are several cup holders and storage bins in the front and rear of the vehicle, as well as a center console with a sliding armrest and storage compartment. The Tucson also features a rear cargo cover to keep items out of sight and protect them from sunlight, and a hands-free power liftgate for added convenience.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The third generation of the Hyundai Tucson was launched for the 2016 model year, and was replaced by the fourth generation in 2022.

2016: Fully redesigned for the third generation with new styling and engines.

2017: Upgraded interior materials, optional Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

2018: New engine in Sport model, SEL & SEL Plus models introduced, Eco model removed from the lineup.

2019: Small exterior styling changes, turbocharged 1.6L engine removed, lane keep assist and collision avoidance standard.

2020: The same as earlier years.

2021: No major changes.

2022: Fully redesigned for the fourth generation with new engines, styling, and technology.

How Does the Hyundai Tucson Compare to the Competition?

The 2020 Hyundai Tucson is a very nice compact SUV with a more luxurious interior than most of the competition and one of the longest warranties on the market.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a larger SUV from Hyundai which is around $1,500 more. Passenger room is better in the Hyundai Santa Fe, while the Hyundai Tucson is easier to maneuver in large cities. We recommend the Hyundai Santa Fe since the extra space is worth the money, although both are good choices for the 2020 model year.

The Nissan Rogue is another small SUV available in the same price range. Passenger room is slightly better in the Nissan Rogue, while the Hyundai Tucson has a much nicer interior for the money. We recommend the Hyundai Tucson since it’s a more upscale choice, while being reliable as well.

Anna K on June 25, 2021

It's a great vehicle in great price.

My Tucson is a great car, perfect size for single mom, gas mileage is very good. Additional, I have very helpful options in my model. Car stays in lines, it is very helpful especially when is raining in the evening, it also detecting if vehicle ahead of me is slowing down, I am very happy with this vehicle.

Mary S on June 25, 2021

Hyundai is a great car company.

The Tucson is comfortable, sits high enough to see over many cars. Very easy to get in and out of. The safety features are great - lane diversion detection is very helpful in avoiding accidents especially when you are trying to back out of a parking spot. I enjoy the heated seats.

Todd F on June 24, 2021

Feel & handling of much more expensive vehicles.

I really enjoy the way the car handles. The lane assist takes some getting used to at first, but it really helps after that. It has a very quiet & comfortable ride. It has very responsive & quick pickup of acceleration for the size engine it has. The amount of cargo space with rear seats lowered is very adequate. The media & music electronic system is very intuitive.

Shaun W on June 24, 2021

Great for first brand new car.

Engine is not very powerful. Has great safety features and accommodates our family of 5. There is plenty of room for everything and everyone. The media center is a nice touch with apple play and android auto. Overall it is a reliable and safe vehicle.

Brittney M on June 23, 2021

The Hyundai Tuscan is the perfect family car.

I love my Tuscan! Its the perfect mom car! It is not too low to the ground for loading small children but it also is not too big like an SUV it seriously is the perfect size. I have 3 children that all fit comfortably in the back! I love my backup camera and my lane assist to keep me in the lines.

Rachel H on June 20, 2021

Reliable and comfortable. It is not too big and not too small.

I have kept up with the routine maintenance checks such as, oil change and tire rotation and have yet to run into any issues. I love the sunroof and cold and heat warmers on the front seats. It is extremely comfortable, great sound system. There is a button for “sport mode” that you can turn on if you need to accelerate quickly. It is very convenient to use when getting on the freeway. The backup camera is nice. However, I do not rely on it because I am not used to having one. Also, there is no beeping sound when you get close to another vehicle while backing out, just a camera to look at. Unless there’s a way to turn on the sound... I haven’t found a way. The smart features are awesome. You can turn them off and on. I use lane assistance for long drives, but usually turn of that feature when driving in the city.

Danielle R on June 15, 2021

Great vehicle, minimal flaws.

Comfortable and reliable. Wish I had remote start in the keg fab rather than my phone. The blue link app is very helpful and offers a lot of information about my vehicle. Was even able to look up vin right from the app. Didn't buy the vehicle from the town I live in, so regular maintenance can be troublesome.

Jennifer G on June 4, 2021

Love the heated steering wheel!

This car is extremely enjoyable to drive. I love the apple CarPlay as it reduces cell phone distraction. The heated steering wheel is fantastic in the winter as well. I love that with blue link you can have your car on, with ac or heat to your liking waiting for you when you get to your car in the morning.

Joshua S on May 28, 2021

My Tucson is an overall great machine at a very reasonable price.

I love my Tucson, it could be a little better on gas but it seems to be a very reliable whip. Interior is set up with the end user in mind. It has heated seats which are fantastic for them frigid mornings when you don't want to go outside.. Just crank her up and you have an instant booty cheek warmer.

Phyllis R on May 7, 2021

Great little SUV. Great room and in small SUV.

Very comfortable. Handles nicely. Love my heated seats. I also have law assist and blind spot alerts which are very helpful. Very roomy, great for my son who is very tall. Excellent on gas. Only $20 per week for gas- fabulous. Great console - easy set up with my phone for hands free calling.

Leslie T on May 3, 2021

Beautiful outside appearance and aesthetics with a comfortable and safe drive.

Love this vehicle. I have had it for 3 months, I have not had any problems thus far. The comfort level is great and it is a smooth ride! My favorite features are the heated seats, review and blind spot sensors and the sport drive mode. Things I would change include getting leather seats rather than cloth and have electric seats rather than manual. I wish I could set the drive mode to sport and that it would stay in that setting as I have to turn it on every time I get in the car.

Tara R on May 3, 2021

Loving my new Hyundai Tucson.

I really like driving my Hyundai Tucson. The ride is very even and the acceleration is smooth. The se model is no frills but having seat warmers are nice as is having electric mirror adjustments. It would be nice to have ac/ heat vents in the rear seat and electric trunk functions however I still would rate my car as excellent.

michelle B on April 30, 2021

What I like and what needs to be changed.

Lauren M on April 30, 2021

I love my spacious Hyundai Tucson.

I absolutely love my brand new Hyundai Tucson! It is very spacious on the interior, yet leaves a small footprint on the exterior which is nice coming from a sedan. The turn radius cannot be best for a SUV! Another thing I love is the large cargo space in the trunk, perfect for my family and our stuff.

Robert R on April 19, 2021

Love my 2020 Hyundai Tucson.

The Tucson is very roomy and has a great ride. The 4-cylinder engine so far seems powerful enough. Love the keyless entry and all the safety features. Happy we have a rear wiper and it is great that it goes on automatically if the front wiper is on when you shift into reverse.

Bella M on April 17, 2021

Good price, great warranty, great car!

I love this car. I upgraded from an older model highlander and was even considering buying a newer version. I love the apple car play features and it really helps with navigation especially. The car is affordable for everything that you get and the blue link feature is also super nice if you live in really hot/cold places so you can heat up the car in the winter before getting in and you can cool it down in the summer before getting in the car.

Sarah P on April 3, 2021

Easy access under the front seats for keeping the car clean!

Gets great gas mileage and extremely comfortable for long road trips. As someone who went from a 1997 to a 2020 car, the buttons on the infotainment center as well as the touchscreen option was a great comfort and didn't make me feel like I was doing a massive technology jump. The Tucson also feels very peppy and quick, so no issues getting on the highway or getting up to speed! No problems to note!

Ryan M on March 31, 2021

Smoothest ride and feel of any vehicle I have had previously.

Comfort is second to none. The ride is very smooth and quiet. The one assist feature sometimes can be a hassle as it is not always on and sometimes beeps or redirects in construction zones when lanes vary. Tech features are excellent and very easy to use. Setting up and connecting with your phone is a breeze.

Haley B on March 27, 2021

My Hyundai Tucson is amazing.

I have had no issues. I really love my car. I went from a van to this car. I really felt comfortable leaving my van and going with the Tucson. It has good visibility and mileage is great. It drives really well too. I also really love the sound system in my car, especially the bass. Even though the volume is not up high sometimes, some songs just sound amazing with the bass.

Lisa F on March 24, 2021

The value of Hyundai Tucson.

The Tucson is a great size for the season of life that we are in right now. It is very reliable and has so many features that make driving safe. I would highly recommend to anyone. Plus we got 3 years of free maintenance. Hyundai vehicles are a great value for what you get compared to what you pay for it.

Marissa J on March 22, 2021

Fully loaded vehicle for a wonderful price!

I love the panoramic sunroof. The vehicle is roomy but not massive. There are tons of safety features, such as smart cruise control and lane assist that are leading technology. Looking forward to using the remote start, heated seats and heated steering wheel in the winter.

Erin B on March 21, 2021

Best car by far in my opinion. I couldn't live without it.

It is been a great car so far. No issues at the moment. It is sleek and easy to take care of. I would recommend this car to my family and friends. It is a car that is going to last me the next 10 years and I am happy about my investment. It truly is a great car. It is very spacious and I am able to take both my dogs and still have plenty of room.

El G on March 13, 2021

Not sure I like it is steadiness and the color of the car.

It is new so I am not sure I can say many bad things about it. I have had it for around a month and it wasn't my first choice but I needed a car and so that was the one I chose. I might consider leaving it to my sister and buying a different model for myself.

Christine O on March 13, 2021

I like my car, just wish it was a little bigger.

My tire keeps going flat and I do not know why. I love my car. It saves on gas, rides smooth, roomy, could us a better sound system, good gas mileage, I do like the color. I like the rear camera, the fact that the seats lay down. I do wish it was a little bigger in size.

Dana K on March 12, 2021

The vehicle is very clean and sleek looking and has lots of safety features.

I love my car. The sport mode makes it fun to drive but you can also turn that off and it because more fuel efficient. For the crossover it has lots of room and the trunk area is huge! Favorite feature is the carplay. The back up camera is super helpful and positioned well. So far no problems with mechanics. Drives extremely smooth and lane assist is an awesome added bonus.

Lee S on March 12, 2021

Full roof opens to moonroof.

Very comfortable to drive. Climate control system very good. Cooled front seats are great in hot climates. Somewhat disappointed in mileage and range between fill ups. Safety features are very reassuring. Exceptionally large moonroof. Very large cargo space.

Elizabeth A on March 9, 2021

Hyundai Tucson review what I think.

No problems yet the car works great gets me to a & boy I love the apple play and the GPS from your phone so you do not have to worry about updating every couple of months it tells you when your backing up to close to a car or a curb or when you are driving it'll tell you there's a car next to you so do not hit it.

Pamela B on March 8, 2021

Reliable and comfortable vehicles.

Love this vehicle. It is a very comfortable ride with the extra room I needed. This is my second Hyundai. I traded an Elantra that I owned for 6 years and other than routine maintenance it was never in the shop. I find Hyundai vehicles to be very reliable.

Lauren A on March 6, 2021

Sporty, safe, and the perfect SUV.

Drives great. Lots of safety features including blind side assistance, keeping you inside the lane, braking. Dark interior, which I love! XM radio, along with Bluetooth capability. Buying a car with so many safety features even dropped my car insurance.

Molly C on March 4, 2021

Such an incredible little car for a low price.

My car drives very smoothly and was an incredible value for the price of the vehicle. The features of the car are luxury level for a low price range car. The car has fantastic room overall and I am able to transport large items easily. I am extremely pleased with the car overall.

Olivia F on February 27, 2021

Very safe, great first car for young drivers.

I enjoy this car, it is cute and a great size. It has all things necessary for a young driver including some safety features like if you are drifting it will move you back over. You do not need all the bells and whistles. I think it is a great first car for a new driver and makes you feel safe!

Kelsey H on February 26, 2021

Hyundai Tucson 2020 review.

I have not had any problems with my Hyundai Tucson since I leased it in January. It has great gas mileage and I usually only have to fill up my tank one time per week. The backseat is very spacious and the trunk space is great for packing up for a long weekend trip. I can use apple carplay and listen to my own Spotify and amazon playlists which is great!

Kristina S on February 17, 2021

Plenty of space for kids and great gas mileage.

I absolutely love my vehicle. I have three young children and they all have plenty of room in the back seat and I can fit 3 car seats across. I have to make long trips quite often, so I wanted a vehicle that had great gas mileage and my Tucson really delivered. My only complaint is that I do not find I have quite enough trunk space when traveling. Overall, I love it.

Victora on February 17, 2021

Havinga car that works

Very disappointed in this car. After two days my brand new Tucson would not start.

Kareem J on February 16, 2021

Car is reliable and fits me perfectly.

It is very comfortable and up to date. It is good on mileage but it can be better. It rides nice and smooth and I would recommend it to a lot of my friends and family. All the seats are adjustable and is safe for my daughter. I urge anyone to look into this vehicle.

Angella M on February 13, 2021

I love Hyundai, this is my 4th one!

Great gas mileage. Cheap looking ac control, very spacious, I would have preferred a leather interior as opposed to cloth. Back gate does not open with key fob. Does not have bumper guards around car doors protecting it from dings. I like the exterior mirrors detection of cars when changing lanes.

Cindy F on February 3, 2021

Great vehicle, great company.

Love my car, fast, sassy, great speed, great sound system, great air conditioning and heating system, plenty of room, chose a beautiful color, ruby red, came with Michelin tires, plenty of head room, a lot of security features, this is my third Tucson, my 6th Hyundai.

Ashley L on February 3, 2021

The car notifies me if someone is directly besides me, or behind me.

My vehicle is very comfortable and I enjoy driving it. The only complaint I have is the gas mileage. I feel this car is should receive better gas mileage. Other than that, the car spacious and smooth to drive. I do notice a slight pulling when on the freeway though. I really enjoy the added safety features of the car, as well as android auto.

Vicky Franco on February 2, 2021

Reliable car - No

Smelanda A on January 31, 2021

Love my Hyundai. Wonderful investment.

Kaitlyn M on January 26, 2021

I love my Hyundai’s back up camera and lane assist.

I love my Hyundai Tuscan. It drives so smoothly and is very quiet. I also love the features in my car. It had lane assist and blind spot detection. I also live the backup camera it is very clear and it reps if someone drives behind me while backing up.

Jill C on January 23, 2021

Best comfort, fun, and smart.

It is super comfortable and I love all the features it comes with. I discover more each day. I have never had a problem. I love the heated steering wheel and the heated and cooling seats. I love the sunroof, it brings in a lot of light. Probably the best car I have ever owned.

Kirsten V on January 21, 2021

The car has lane assist. And a phone charging pad.

Super comfortable! Looks sleek but at a awesome price. Lots of new technology. Lots of legroom. SUV is not to big and bulky just the right size. Company is very good with working with customers. Back seat area has ac vents and the speakers are good quality.

Reliable and spacious! Tucson is a logical and economical choice.

Reliable, basic and consistent. Modern features including touch screen and backup camera. Lots of space, seats are easy to fold down and make more space in the trunk. Good gas mileage. No electric seat adjustments and no sunroof. Overall, the car delivers and has not caused any issues.

Love my Tucson, it is so spacious.

So far there are no problems. I enjoy the space and it has quick reaction. Because it is brand new it is very reliable and I am still waiting to try out the all wheel drive when it snows next. I especially like the space for my dog to ride along with me.

My new Tucson- why I love it and why I do not.

I just got a Hyundai Tucson. The color is midnight blue. I love the car because I sit higher from the ground then in the sonata. This car has a smooth ride. The steering in great. It has a rear back window wiper. The only thing I do not like is the sound from the outside. I wish I did not hear the wind so much. It could be the shape/design of the car.

2020 Hyundai Tucson sel review.

Gas mileage could be better for a smaller SUV typically get anywhere between 24-30 mpg driving mostly highway. I wish the sound system could be better as well. The sel is a great trim and the better engine does make a huge difference in the car. I would advise spending the extra 1,500 on the sport model because it gives you better sound system, fog lamps, as well as bigger tires.

Everything you could want for an affordable price.

I just bought the Hyundai Tucson sport and absolutely love it! I bought it with a winter white exterior and a grey interior. The sport gives me everything I would want including amazing speakers, a power liftgate, and led headlights. The only thing I wish it had was a sunroof. The seats are extremely comfortable and driving is fun. I just wish the acceleration was a little faster. Overall, it has everything I would want in my first car and having the phone app (bluelink) makes having this car that much greater!

All the features of my new vehicle provide accessibility and comfort. O have remote start with climate control that has already come in handy during the cold mornings. Heated steering wheel and from seats. Lane drift assist, as well as blind spot detection. Bluetooth media and large display screen.
