Hyundai Tucson Globally Debuts
The exterior of the Tucson undergoes subtle enhancements in the facelift, featuring a redesigned and sharper-looking parametric grille, along with new front and rear bumpers. The updated model also sports a fresh set of alloy wheels. While these changes contribute to a refined and modern look, the overall design remains largely similar to the previous iteration of the Tucson.
Interior And Features
The Tucson's facelift brings significant changes to its interior design. Notable updates include a new three-spoke steering wheel, a redesigned dashboard and center console layout, modified air conditioning vents and control panel, twin 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment system and instrument cluster, and a repositioned gear lever, now located on the steering column instead of the center console. These interior enhancements aim to provide a more modern and ergonomic driving experience for occupants.
The Tucson, in its facelifted avatar, retains an extensive set of features. It includes wireless smartphone connectivity, a wireless charger, automatic dual-zone climate control, a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite, a 360-degree surround camera, adaptive cruise control, ambient lighting, an air purifier, and a panoramic sunroof.
Powertrain
The 4th-gen Hyundai Tucson is offered with two powertrain options. The first is a 2.0-liter Normal Petrol engine, generating 156PS of power at 6200rpm and 192Nm of torque at 4500rpm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The second option is a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel unit that produces 183 BHP @ 4000 rpm and 416 Nm @ 2000-2750 rpm, coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard. These powertrains provide a blend of performance and efficiency to cater to different driving preferences.
Verdict
With the facelifted Tucson, there is more to just what meets the eye. While the front facia is reminiscent of the typical Tucson, albeit with some tweaks, the interior is where the major magic happens. With refreshed styling and a new feel to the cabin space, Hyundai aims to continuously evolve the 2-row SUV and keep the buyers excited.
