Hi Everyone,
I've had my Tuscon for two weeks now, and the more I drive it, the more I like it. Can someone tell me where the 12V battery is located?

According to the site I looked up, it’s under the hood in the engine bay. It might have a plastic cover over it. Good luck. Let us know if that’s right.

Pics please..... My Limited Hybrid, in amazon gray with gray interior should be arriving the middle of June. Anticipation.........

I just heard from someone else that the 12V battery is now part of the Hybrid battery. The box under the hood is the fuse box, and the end of the fuse box has a copper post that is used as the positive contact when charging or jumping the vehicle.
Sorry, no pictures yet.

Let us know what mileage you're getting, too. I'd be more interested in the mileage at interstate speeds (75mph and above), personally.

Just completed a1700 mile trip with speeds mostly 73-78 MPH. Mileage ended up at 30-31 MPG. If I stay around 65 MPH or less, MPG goes to 35-36.

That sounds like some decent mileage! Was it hilly?

Just for part of the trip, maybe 300 miles of it.
