Thanks for the mini review CC.
I didn't have the choice for my car and budget for a proper hybrid last year, but I do think they make good sense if you do a lot of small trips and some occasional longer journeys.
As for MPG, my 1.7TDI diesel Tucson auto did about 45MPG. I wasn't too impressed, but it had the aerodynamics of a brick. The new one is a 1.6TDI MHEV, the hybrid bit only helps with acceleration and there is no option to plug in. It's 136BHP compared to 148BHP for the older one, but I don't notice any difference. The MPG is much better, I am getting about 58MPG, though I think I am driving more sedately, due to the higher fuel costs.
The MHEV element seems to work for a few seconds only, but does give a noticeable boost to acceleration.
