I don't think it's a PHEV issue, but rather an issue with the 1.6L Smartstream engine. I've seen a lot of news articles in Korean news with that issue

The engine oil dilution? If so, it's almost the opposite of their Theta II engines where the oil would disappear.

It does. The first Tucson PHEV came out as a 2022 Model, so it has been on the streets for less than two years.

Hyundai is discontinuing its Santa Fe PHEV for 2024. Not sure of the reason. No word on the Kia Sorento PHEV.

I thought you said "discounting" at first and got excited.
