Our 2023 Tucson hybrid is getting a stellar 24.5 mpg average after 10k miles, according to Hyundai it is acceptable and not their problem! I won’t support Hyundai in the future!
Don’t buy 2023 hybrid Tucson if you expect good fuel economy

That is amazing. If our mileage changes, I will bring that to the table. The warm weather is a few months off, I hope things will be different. Thanks

They advertise 38 for both highway and city, so in essence when you are paying 10,000 more for a hybrid, “most people” should be able to get what they paid for.

But this's a small thing to worry about.

I'm not seeing that most people are not getting close to the estimate, done by the EPA. Estimate meaning maybe not with Winter blend gas, maybe not with winter contributing to less battery efficiency, how you drive, where you live etc etc etc. You can't treat that estimate as if it were some kind of guarantee.
Another component - if some get a more than the estimate, and some get less, the car may be getting about the estimate because that's how it works. In Florida alot of people will likely get at or above the estimate, in New England maybe at or less.

Yup mine to n hybrid system failure. Sell to carmaker only lost 1000 on mine bought Prius 53 mpg!!!!
Those new Prius models look nice, but they are not made for tall people or those who have passengers. Still, I was considering it until I found out about the much smaller size. Further, if the Prius infotainment system is the same as the new RAV4 and Tundra, it's also poor comparatively, as are the driver assistance features.
Lol $10K more, Limited Tucson hybrid cost $3,200 more than Limited non-hybrid.
I also noticed you posted about having a roof rack with crossbars installed on your vehicle. That kills your coefficient of drag (aka wind resistance) on the highway, especially in an SUV?
Study: That Roof Rack Is Killing Your Fuel Economy
Berkeley Lab says that roof racks cause as much as a 25 percent loss in fuel economy, and accounted for almost 1 percent of national consumption in 2015.
I'm getting what I paid for, awesome economy and tons of power. The extra power alone was worth it to me.
I meet or exceed the rated fuel economy in the right conditions without any tricks.
Sure some people may have legitimate issues with their hybrid, but the majority of us don't. I laugh at all the class action lawsuit talk.

Not knocking that car, but comparing a small sedan car with nowhere near the capacity of a family crossover weighing some 700lbs less doesn't make sense. If that is what you wanted getting a Tucson was a mistake from the beginning. You are not alone I see posts where people bought "a hybrid" and treat them like they are all the same.

Right. As previously stated, I'll wait until spring and summer before I make a final decision. I am hearing mixed reviews at this point. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

Danco. You mis-spelled Winners again. You really need to work on that. Of course, since you drive a toy-yoda it probably won’t improve. 😂🤣😂What I've noticed most about Hybrid owners is what a bunch of whiners you all are...

My mileage sucks too, I've got a 22 Hybrid limited. That said it was much better before it got cold. I live just outside of Boston MA and commute to work in Lowell MA about 33 miles each way up and down I-93. It's pretty flat for the most part and I go the speed limit (55 and 65) letting it sit on adaptive cruise control. I have talked to a few people in Massachusetts with the same car and they have had similar issues when it got cold. When I talked to the people at the dealership I bought it at as well as the dealership I had my 7500 mile service at they told me that all Tucson hybrids suffer more than the rest of the Hyundai hybrids in the cold.

Been having the same issue and so sick of people suggesting it’s driver error. Owned many cars and hybrids and always got suggested mpg I will say that my mpg went up to 30 last week when I tried smart mode instead of eco.

I get 430 miles out of a 12 gallon tank regularly using mid-level octane gas. Always in Sport mode because the other modes just suck.
People were pointing out your logical fallacies as well. You keep glossing over that. Did you try any of the things people have suggested here to narrow down the issue, for example? There could be a problem with the car, but you came out of the gate with bad logical arguments so it's hard to tell if you are really the easy driver you claim to be. I really hope all of you get the performance you're hoping for.

Wow...we routinely get 44 in town and 37 out on the highway with both of our 2022 Tucson Hybrid Limited cars. Sorry to hear it.
Can I ask, did you sell a 2023, and if so to whom? Private buyer or Dealer. Although mine is only days old, I too would sell it and walk away from Hyundai forever!
What I've noticed most about Hybrid owners is what a bunch of whiners you all are...

So, we are whiners for stating our results! I purchased my 2023 tucson hybrid blue because of the ADVERTISED 38/38 MPG. I didn't see anything about must drive 50mph on a Highway, going down hill with a tailwind, no spare tire, driving barefoot, with only 1/2 tank if gas after you've driven 12,001 miles. I exaggerate but I'm not far off, you get the idea. if the MPG was tested and in the real world then we, the whiners, wouldn't have anything to whine about. I have 2,400 mile on mine and get only 27.8mpg on a 55° day going 65pmh. Yes, i know I should be driving at 50mph....that wouldn't be a Highway!!!What I've noticed most about Hybrid owners is what a bunch of whiners you all are...

I've had two hyundai Elantras and and I always could reached the advertised mpg after the first 500-700 miles, summer, fall, winter, or spring. I drove 65-70mph, i carried a spare tire, a passenger, and a full tank of gas....
Maybe Hyundai need to list summer and winter MPG.
I can't see how my MPG is going to jump from 28/27 to something close to 38/38 by the temperature raising to 60, 70° or does it need to got to 92.5°?
Well, enough whining for now, but anytime anyone asks how I like my new car, I'm sure they check the 2023 tucso Hybrid off their list if they're looking for a fuel efficient car.
I think everyone want to make decisions on accurate info from the manufacturer.
Funny how all the whiners just ignore all of us who are getting the advertised or better MPG.
Plenty of us are getting 38mpg + at 65mph, and better than that in stop and go traffic.
Sure maybe your cars have legitimate problems. Sucks for you. Some of you have roof racks but don't mention it or think it makes a difference.
But it's definitely not an issue with all of them. Some of us also understand why heavy/powerful hybrid SUV's have more variance in economy than previous vehicles they drove.
This powertrain is more of a performance hybrid powertrain than an 11 second 0-60 prius (pre 2023). But let the Elantra, Prius, (insert slow light car) comparisons continue, the logic is funny.
