Hyundai Tucson

28/03/2022

The new Hyundai Tucson is a compact SUV that sells like hotcakes. If the Tucson is such a commercial success that’s because the Korean manufacturer has really put the package on the development of this fourth generation. Starting with an innovative design that contrasts radically with that of the old model.

Features of the new Hyundai Tucson

For its fourth generation, Hyundai is changing everything so as not to lose ground on the competition and maybe even catch up with the latter. Here is the main information on the Hyundai Tucson in a few key points:

·         A new platform: one of the main changes for this Tucson that allows the brand to start from scratch. Thanks to the latter, comfort is increased and the vehicle takes in length and width with 20 mm on one side and 15 mm more on the other side.

·         A front designed with a very marked Design: A completely new face at the front of the Tucson with a spectacular light signature that seems to be one with the grille.

·         An aggressive rear: with lights in the shape of teeth but also this long red band that can be found in particular on the side of Porsche, Hyundai adds character to its vehicle. The hidden rear wiper, located under the spoiler, also gives originality to the car.

·         An ever more connected interior: a new 10.25-inch digital handset (for the top of the range if not 8 inches for the standard version) and many connected services are present in the family SUV.

·         An unprecedented engine: thanks to the new platform, several possibilities have arisen for Hyundai. Beyond the gasoline and diesel engines, the Korean brand is also launching, from the launch, a non-rechargeable hybrid version of 230 horsepower.

 



A devastating design

The first glance is really nice, its lines cut with a billhook, it gives character and the grille necessarily challenges. It is particularly successful with the lighting which fits perfectly into the whole. It gives this beautiful SUV an original and sporty side.

Controlled consumption with full batteries

The transitions are well controlled, the whole thing is pleasantly transmitted to the wheels by a powerful and smooth automatic gearbox. Hybridization makes it possible to contain consumption levels. An average of 3.8 l/100 km on a mixed course. Once the batteries were flat, fuel consumption simply doubled, totaling an average of 7.5 l/100 km on the same route, without practicing eco-driving. Only a regeneration at the lift of the foot allows the Tucson to recover energy.

 

A successful dashboard

Since we are on board, it is difficult not to mention the new dashboard with its very refined design. The absence of a cap above the digital counters facilitates visibility and the 10.25-inch touch screen is placed at the right height. We also appreciate the numerous storage spaces, the wide central armrest and the quality of the materials, which are quite good overall. On the other hand, the ergonomics are more questionable, Hyundai having chosen to install many touch controls on the central console. Difficult to find while driving.

 

Driving the hybrid version

Gasoline, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid: the new Tucson's engine range is complete. For this test, we opted for the version most popular with French customers, namely the simple hybrid (also called Full-Hybrid). Developing a total power of 230 hp, it combines a 180 hp 1.6 turbo petrol engine with a 60 hp electric motor, powered by a 1.49 kWh battery.



 

Enjoy a 100% digital experience.

Sleek and elegant, the cabin seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technologies. Enjoy a customizable digital experience thanks to a central console and a 10.25” screen, both touch-sensitive, offering easy access to your connected life and vehicle controls. Finished, physical buttons and wheels: now, it is from a touch interface that the navigation, the multimedia system and the air conditioning are controlled.

 

 

Stay connected on the road

New Generation TUCSON benefits from the very latest connectivity technologies: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or Bluelink connected services which allow you to control your car from your smartphone or by voice. A five-year subscription to Hyundai LIVE services is included with the 10.25” widescreen navigation system.
