Hyundai/Kia auto's have been mainly DCT for the last decade anyway, and that is the case here.

I know DCT's aren't generally recommended on the forum, but that is usually with regards to 2nd hand cars. In the case of a new car, assuming you don't drive like a boy racer and have a degree of mechanical sympathy, I wouldn't have too much concerns, especially when the car in question has a decent warranty.....

....But that brings me on to the question of why the Hyundai?. Most of these current SUV/Crossover types look (IMO) much and such the same, remove the badges and it could be anything. So there seems little point going for the Tuscon when the (Kia) Sportage is exactly the same underneath, looks very similar, but comes with a 7 year warranty rather than the 5 of the Hyundai (and according to that review, the Sportage rides better too)

There are differences in trim quality between Kia and Hyundai as well as suspension settings giving differences in ride quality.

The other thing I'd suggest is to avoid the highest trim level, or (if it applies) a "sporty" trim level because they will have the largest diameter wheels available on lower profile tyres. These are detrimental to the ride comfort and will cost more to replace.

Be aware the Hyundai 5 year warranty is for unlimited mileage, while Kia's 7 years is for 100,000 miles.
