I have 2016 SEL and love it. Sits high enough and feels bigger than it is. Have had many ask me about it as they are unfamiliar and love the looks

I liked the V6 however with the deal I got on my SEL I would have had to spend another $10,000 to get a GT V6 with terrible gas mileage and insufficient power. I am getting an avg. 24 mpg now and really this CUV is for my wife mostly, My DD is a Corvette.

My SEL has a sport mode which gives it a little more pep and less gas mileage. When you put the truck in -D- push the shifter to the right and there is the S for sport mode.

Did you consider the Sport GT or any other make before settling on the SEL?

Also......... 5 Year 60,000 mile Warranty which no one else besides Hyundai has.
Sport...... way too small
Jeep Cherokee.........way over priced
Mazda CX5 more $$$ did not like the ride
Rav4 way too much $$$
CRV way too much $$$ and appeared smaller.
Chevy Equinox and Traverse way way overpriced, 4 cyl. was terrible (I could buy 2 SEL's)
Ford any car was $45,000 what a joke.
Dodge Way over priced, decent ride but more tha I wanted to spend.
Hyundai Tuscon too small and cost more
Hyundai SanteFe Sport nice but much more money. Is this enough or should I hit the cars from the EU?

I have driven the SEL and I found the performance of the 4 cylinder quite acceptable, however, I did not venture onto the highway to assess its merging and passing capabilities. Honestly, 15 mpg city for the GT is pretty alarming; I think even my CTS does slightly better. I don't have any children so my hauling needs are minimal. I think the 4 cylinder may be the way to go(perhaps with the RRM timing controller and aluminum crank pulley to liven things up.) Guxu, are you satisfied with the performance of the 4 cylinder in varied conditions?
No complain on local roads either. Only once, I seemed to notice the lack of power when 5 adult males were in my Outlander including a big guy.
