Design
With a completely redesigned exterior, the all-new Hyundai Tucson looks sleek and contemporary. The integrated LED DRLs and LED headlights give off a futuristic appearance, while the front grille in dark chrome adds a touch of refinement. The new 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and contrast-coloured skid plates give the entire appearance a rough and sporty vibe.
The integrated spoiler and roof rails also add to the SUV's aerodynamic character. The rear Hyundai emblem on the windscreen and the elegant LED light strip that runs the length of the boot lid complement the LED taillights' distinctive and aggressive form. Overall, the all-new Hyundai Tucson stands out in its class thanks to its confident and stylish design.
Specifications
Engine and Gearbox
A 2.0-litre petrol engine and a six-speed automated gearbox combine to produce 154 horsepower and 192 Nm of torque. Conversely, the eight-speed automatic gearbox powers the wheels with a 2.0-litre diesel engine that produces 416 Nm of torque and 184 horsepower.
Performance
The 156 PS petrol engine is a very smooth motor that is almost silent when it is idle. It feels comfortable to drive in urban areas, and it accelerates smoothly and linearly. It has a 6-speed AT that shifts smoothly, but occasionally it feels sluggish while shifting down.
Features
A 10.25-inch digital driver's display, an 8.-speaker Bose sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, a powered front seat with a memory function for the driver, 64-colour ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, connected car technology, and voice assistance from Google and Alexa are just a few of the many features that come standard with the car.
Safety
With a 5-star Euro NCAP safety certification, the Tucson has cemented its status as perhaps the safest Hyundai model that can be bought in India. In addition to six airbags, it has a long list of safety features, including Level-2 ADAS, which includes lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, driver attention warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot collision avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision assist, and high beam assist.
Variants
The Platinum AT, Signature AT, Platinum Diesel AT, Signature AT DT, Signature Diesel AT, Signature Diesel AT DT, Signature Diesel 4WD AT, and Signature Diesel 4WD AT DT are the eight different configurations of the Tucson that are offered.
