Hyundai Tucson, the most electrified range on the market

The entire range is based on two engines: the 1.6-litre T-GDI petrol engine and the 1.6-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine.

With 48-volt auxiliary battery mild hybrid electrical systems in gasoline and diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid engines, the Tucson offers the widest range of electrified powertrains in the ECO-labelled compact SUV segment. The whole range is based on two engines: the 1.6-litre T-GDI petrol engine and the 1.6-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine, which are available with different levels of electrification. In addition to the 1.6 T-GDI petrol engine, the Hyundai Tucson with 48-volt mild hybrid technology is available with two power levels, 150 hp or 180 hp.

To further increase performance and reduce emissions, you can also opt for the powerful 230 hp hybrid powertrain, which combines the instantaneous torque of a 44.2 kW electric motor with the power of the 1.6-litre T-engine. GDI engine. The system is mated to a 1.49 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery and is available with a six-speed automatic transmission and two- or four-wheel drive.

In addition, the Tucson has a plug-in hybrid PHEV version, equipped with the 1.6-litre T-GDi turbo engine and a 66.9 kW electric drive, which draws its energy from a 13 lithium-ion polymer battery, 0.8 kWh. The total power is 265 hp, with a combined torque of 350 Newton meters. The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid emits just 31 g/km of CO2 and has a 7.2 kW onboard charger for use at an electric vehicle charging station or via a home charger. The system is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive as standard. It also features an active front air vent that adjusts the air intake based on engine coolant temperature or vehicle speed to minimize drag and improve fuel economy.

As with all hybrid vehicles, the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is powered solely by the electric motor when driving at low speeds, resulting in a quiet, fuel-efficient ride. If desired, the driver can also switch to fully electric driving by pressing the corresponding button and thus has a fully electric driving range of more than 50 km.

The fourth generation of the Hyundai Tucson now has a larger and wider body than its predecessor (4.5 meters long by 1.86 wide by 1.65 high). The configurable and fully digital passenger compartment consists of a 10.25-inch digital instrumentation and a 10.25-inch touchscreen, which occupies the central part of the vehicle. The design has no levers and physical buttons, so all system functions, as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning, are controlled by touch.

The Tucson is Hyundai’s first fully refreshed SUV developed in line with the new design identity called Sensuous Sportiness. This is characterized by the search for the greatest harmony between four fundamental elements: proportion, architecture, style and technology. The most relevant style example can be found in the grille of the car, where the hidden parametric lights make for a great first impression; when the lights are off, the front of the vehicle is covered in dark geometric patterns, out of sight of the LED daytime running lights integrated into the grille. The Tucson’s rear bumper also integrates parametric pattern details with a three-dimensional effect, along with a sporty decor; In addition, it is the first Hyundai model with hidden rear wipers, which are hidden under the rear spoiler.

The new Hyundai Tucson stands out for its advanced security systems. For example, the SmartSense driver assistance equipment is equipped with no fewer than 17 active safety technologies, some of which are completely new. These include the front-end anti-collision assistant with intersection assistance, the blind spot vision monitor, highway driving assistant and the rear view blind spot assistant. Plus, Tucson’s 360-degree display makes parking and navigating narrow alleys more comfortable.

Driver Fatigue Detection is another Tucson-included system; Thanks to the monitoring of various driving parameters, it recommends taking a break if it determines that the driver is falling asleep. In addition, it warns if the vehicle in front starts driving again if the driver does not react in time. In addition, the Tucson has an innovative central side airbag between the front row seats, which prevents the driver and passenger from hitting each other in an accident.
