    My 2023 Hyundai Tucson N Line is revving high before changing gears

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai Tucson Hyundai Tucson Advice Hyundai Tucson 2023

    I have noticed, when I accelerate, my 2023 Hyundai Tucson N Line revs very high before changing gears, getting up to 4500 to 5000 rpm. Is this normal and will this cause any problems to the engine?

    The engine in a modern car has inbuilt protection where it won't rev beyond what is safe for it. So you needn't worry about that. But a vehicle that wants to hold gears too long can become tiring to drive, as well as using more fuel than it might if its shifted gears at lower engine speeds.

    Your car has what are called drive modes which tailor the aggressiveness of the throttle and alter gearshift points to tailor the car's behaviour in different conditions. My suspicion is that your car is set on Sport which is what's making it feel a bit hyperactive. There's a switch on the centre console which will allow you to change the Drive mode to Comfort or Normal. Try that to see if it tames the gearbox's behaviour.
