Looking at a Tucson to replace an Audi A6 TDI? MPG and snow performance

I am a long term Audi fan but now interested in the Tucson. WHY? I drove an Ionic recently and found the lane keep assist, auto cruise worked better than any other German car I have tested (Use these features on my 8 hour highway drives). Hopefully the camera technology in the Tucson is exactly the same as Ionic since it worked amazing compared to Audi that drifts to the edge and then bounces you back. HEY, the question is snow performance and MPG on the Hybrid. My Audi TDI nabs 32-36 on the highway at 75 MPH. Would I easily pull those numbers on the hybrid Tucson? Looking at Fuelly.com it seems to be similar to what I get now. Any snow issues? Can you turn off traction control easily without a menu as that is the best way to drive up hills.

At 75 mph you will never get 30mpg. Should be around 25. Around 55mph you can expect 35mpg on highway.
In cities, in summer you can expect 32 mpg.
I am at 1700 miles, and am getting these figures.
Dont buy this car if you are looking at linger drives only. But if you want city mileage 80 % of time, you can buy this. Its more silent than any of the Toyota suvs.
According to fuelly, its around 30mpg average, which I am getting.
But on a side note, I did test drive the Venza hybrid today.
And man I am really happy with my Tucson hybrid.
Sorry...not going to look at Toyota for some time now.
