Reason for choosing "Ultimate" package

Let's face it, for just a little over $2500(US), adding the "Ultimate" package to the already well equipped "Limited" is a good deal. With all the niceties listed below, what was the single most feature that made you choose the "Ultimate"?

.High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights with Dynamic Bending Lighting
System (DBLS)
.Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
.Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection
.Rear parking sensors
.Panoramic sunroof
.Front LED maplights
.4.2-inch LCD Electroluminescent Gauge Cluster
.Ventilated front seats
.Heated rear seats

Personally for me, it's the Automatic Emergency Braking system. Not only has it potentially saved my a&$ twice but also made my insurance rates go down. What "single" feature pushed you to get the "Ultimate"?

For me, I'd plunk down the 2.5 G's just for the acronyms. All those fancy CAPITAL letters put together must mean something cool comes with it >:D
Ya know, you're an idiot?! :D

Must be why I like you!

Wanted a car that doesn't have those blank plates that should have a button that should have something if its fully equipped. But on mine, they made even more blank spaces...

The reason why i chose a Tucson in the first place was the Panoramic Sunroof, Ventilated seats and reclining back seats

Reason why i got the full spec is so i can stand out over the basic matte trimmed, 16 inch wheeled and white company car Tucsons (No offence to the company car Tucsons owners).

Surprisingly there are more Range Rovers and Mercedes on the road than Hyundai's let alone the Tucson. Heck we are rarer than Bentleys :3

In Canada, our Limited has the Sunroof and HID light bending headlights. No need to go up to the Ultimate. Is it not the same in the USA? Our limited doesn't have the automatic braking or lane departure warning. No ventilated front seats either, which I would have liked. But it wasn't worth the extra $2600 to me.

As for me the AEB, LED+the rest..$2500 is only equals to $25 in monthly payments...NBD and i like fully loaded vehicles...it is also good in resale then

The only feature in the Ultimate Package that's even remotely worth the $2500 price tag, strictly on a monetary basis of course, is the panoramic sunroof. No single other feature or minor combination of other smaller features/options in the Ultimate Package are even close to being worth $2500.

That being said, my favorite features in the Ultimate Package are the killer headlamps (I hate poor/dim headlights), the ventilated front seats (my back is always sweating in the car in hot weather), and the backup sensors that warn of pedestrians or cars when you're backing up.

But in all reality, I love ALL of the features added in with the Ultimate Package. :)

The Canadian version is optioned differently.

My Limited has everything the US version Ultimate has except vented seats, auto break and LED head lights. All my other lights including interior are LED.

I love the HID lights so I stuck with Limited.

My wife's looking...and thinking of upgrading. I think it's the push start/stop feature that's blowing her dress up. This gets her a free pass not to "dig" around the bottom of her bag looking for keys.

For me, I would like her to have the emergency braking feature so I would not feel like I'm going to die somewhere en route to our destination when she is driving. :eek:

You get to see the system work on dark, winding roads much better. When I drive my wife's Honda, I can really tell the difference when going around curves.
+1 What he said. Not a Tucson, but I could really enjoy them on my 2027 Elantra Ultimate on a trip to Virginia through the winding roads of the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.

I would have liked everything else, but I didn't want the panoramic roof.
1) I live in central Texas where it easily gets over 100 degrees in the summer, a glass roof would turn my car into an easy bake oven.
2) I use a car top carrier on long trips, so it's useless to me when I travel out of the Texas heat.

Agreed. Here in South Florida it's hot. Yesterday I was in the car for an hour and a half in stop and go traffic with a temp of 90 degrees. I had the AC on auto at 80 degrees and turned the ventilated seat on and was comfortable. I am impressed with how cool the cabin stays overall.

The sunroof was the selling feature of it. When I walked in the dealer, I told them I wanted the sunroof, but when I saw it, I knew that I had to have it. The AEB was just the icing on the cake, as the other car I was considering was the Subaru Forrester which also had AEB.
