Hyundai Tucson: Tucson Hyundai, India’s highest selling and Award winning SUV is the trendsetter in SUV market and is leading the Auto Industry with its Modern Premium Brand direction and redefines lifestyle element of the SUV market Hyundai’s technology and design initiatives too have made the company a name to reckon with.

Sitting in the premium midsize SUV class, the Tucson has stiff competition from some well-known rivals, however, it stands out due to its modern styling, polished interior, and feature-packed cabin.

It is a car that both city goers and the adventurous can enjoy, with options of the petrol and diesel engines available and a possibility of all-wheel drive.

Tucson is more than a vehicle; it is a mix of luxury and performance designed for families, professionals and enthusiasts.

Bold Design and Road Presence

The Hyundai Tucson is a striking SUV that is turning heads on the road. It comes in line with the brand’s new design style featuring unique Parametric Jewel front grille incorporating LED DRLs.

The headlamp clusters now sit lower which makes it look mean and contemporary.

It gets a burly look with the muscular wheel arches, 18-inch alloy wheels and the slightly sloping roofline while still staying true to the SUV proportions.

The rear is just as impressive with full-width LED tail lights and Remus’s unique bumper design.

It appears upscale and sophisticated, more befitting the dress of luxury SUVs outside of our shores than your standard midsize fare.

Premium Interior and Roomy Cabin

The Tucson has a cabin that’s upscale and minimalist when you step inside. The dashboard is tidy, and a dual-screen design is used with the driver’s display (an 8.0- or 10.3-inch screen, size depending on trim) and the infotainment system.

Soft-touch materials, satin silver accents, and ambient lighting add a touch of luxury to the cabin.

Space is generous, particularly in the second row. There are also generous knee, head and shoulder room for passengers.

They are generous in size, comfortable and very supportive even on long rides. The driver seat in top trims can be electrically adjusted and come with ventilation & memory functions.

A panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging and a powered tailgate further the convenience.

Performance & Driving Characteristics

Hyundai gives the Tucson a choice of two engines — a 2.0-litre petrol and the 2.0L diesel.

The petrol mill is nice and revvy, good for pottering around in the city and when you do some highway commuting. It’s punchy enough for daily driving and mated to a six-speed automatic.

But the diesel is the Tucson’s real trump card. Thanks to its increased torque and 8-speed auto, it is more powerful and more fuel-efficent.

It’s also available with optional all-wheel drive, giving a bit of extra confidence on off-road or bad-weather excursions.

The ride is fantastic: Soft, with the suspension set up for comfort. It rides well over bumps, and remains stabled at high cruising speeds.

The city ride is light and the handling does not disappoint on highways, and the steering weighs up nicely.

Advanced Features and Safety

The Tucson is jam-packed full of convenience and safety features. The infotainment system comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the Bose audio system provides clear sound.

It also comes with Hyundai’s BlueLink connected car tech which provides remote starting, car tracking, and various smart features.

And when it comes to safety, the Tucson features six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera and Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).

That’s thanks to features like lane keep assist, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control and many, many more — enough to make it one of the most safety-laden SUVs in its competitive segment.
