Not for the vertically challenged, but…
I love the style, the safety features, the good service, but my 2024 Hyundai is not designed for a short person and Hyundai offers no accommodations for the problem. I am about 5 feet tall and even with the adjustable seat set at the highest position, the back of my head rests between the headrest and the driver’s seat and I can’t see the hood of my car. The sun visor is useless in early morning or afternoon because my line of sight is below the visor.
The service department suggested that I buy a booster cushion but did not recommend one that would be a good fit. I do use one, but the seat is not shaped for an addition and was a lot more comfortable without it. I’m concerned about using an added cushion with the heated seat and if the functioning of the seat belt is affected.
When I sit in the passenger seat which has no height adjustment, I can see out the door window, but looking forward, I get a view of the dash.
Yes, I feel like I bought my 2024 Tucson too fast after one test drive, and I didn’t try out all of the seats. That’s on me. I should have taken and insisted on more time.
I was smitten by the design, the size, and mostly the wonderful safety features that I really enjoy. I traded in my 2010 Tucson and am pleased that even with many new features, the basic set up is very similar. So my 2024 Tucson is easy to operate but is unfortunately not a good fit for me.
Surely the engineers at Hyundai could come up with a comfortable solution for short drivers like me. Or put a disclaimer fthat the design caters to tall people.
