The new Hyundai Tucson, now on sale in our country

Hyundai has for many years been one of the reference brands in the mid-size SUV segment, first with the Tucson, then with the ix35, and now, once again, using the Tucson name again.

The brand recovers the original name for its mid-size SUV, retaining the adventurous spirit and adding a large amount of technology to make everyday life much easier.

The all-new Hyundai Tucson begins going on sale in our country over the coming weeks, so it can now be seen at dealerships across Spain. The Tucson is one of the most important products within the Hyundai family, which is why the brand has worked very hard to create a product that meets the demands placed upon it.

The Tucson is a completely new product, built entirely from scratch. The exterior design turns the previous ix35 into a more attractive and pleasing-to-the-eye vehicle. The front features a large brand-signature grille with trapezoidal shapes, which blend into the large, elongated headlights.

The side view presents a more compact and robust image, where the glazed surface gives way to more bodywork. The rising waistline results in raised rear shoulders that blend perfectly with the rear, which is wider than ever, a feeling intensified by large light clusters similar to those of the i30 or i20.

Inside, the first thing that catches your attention when you open the door is the huge leap in quality the brand has applied to the SUV’s cabin. The general lines of the dashboard recall the brand’s latest creations, such as the Hyundai Santa Fe. The dashboard now has more harmonious shapes, with clearly superior, more carefully studied ergonomics.

As we mentioned earlier, the leap in quality is more than notable. The materials are now mostly soft plastic, leather or textile surfaces, with pleasantly padded textures to the touch. Metallic-look trim or piano-black finishes also take on a more prominent role, offering a level of quality never before seen in this model, something to which the much finer panel fit also contributes.

The Tucson’s equipment improves substantially over the last generation, as the technology load now increases, with items such as AEB, an emergency braking system capable of stopping the vehicle autonomously in the event of a risk of collision, the lane departure warning system (LKAS) and LED low beams.

Mechanically, the Tucson takes a step forward by offering four engines, two petrol (1.6 GDi and 1.6 T-GDi, producing 132 and 170 CV respectively) and two diesel, a 1.7 CRDi with 115 CV and a 2.0 CRDi with 180 CV. For the first time on this vehicle, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox is offered. In addition, versions with non-permanent all-wheel drive will be available, allowing the Tucson to tackle more demanding terrain with confidence.

The starting price of the Hyundai Tucson begins at €22,400 for the 4×2 1.6 GDi Essence version, a figure that drops to €18,900 thanks to discounts applied by the brand. The most expensive variant is the 2.0 CRDi 184 CV 4×4 Style Aut, priced at €40,800.
