It is flanked by indicator-mounted ORVMs, flared wheel arches, thick cladding, roof rails, and 18-inch alloy wheels. A roof spoiler, a faux silvered skid plate, and T-shaped LED taillights connected by an LED lightbar are available on the rear end.
The SUV gets a panoramic sunroof and ADAS
Hyundai's new TUCSON has a dual-tone cabin with a wraparound-style dashboard, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and an 8-speaker Bose audio system. It houses a 10.25-inch digital driver's display and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Bluelink. Passengers' safety is ensured by six airbags, ESC, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot assist, and lane-keep assist.
Two engine options are offered
The TUCSON runs on a 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated petrol engine that makes 156hp of power and 192Nm of torque and a 2.0-liter diesel mill that generates 186hp/416Nm.
