The e'er increasing compact SUV segment is a will to this as buyers are commencement to aspect beyond the three-box compact sedan inwards favor of something much to a greater extent than fashionable too personal. Of course, it helps having an SUV torso style since it offers much to a greater extent than flexibility too utility—something that can’t hold upwards said alongside whatsoever sedan.

The Japanese brands seem to direct keep the wages here, as they’ve been at it since the early on 1990’s. So what’s a newbie similar Hyundai to do? Simple: offering something that all others don’t offer, too capitalize on this segment. Their Hyundai Tucson does merely that. Priced at a shockingly depression P 1,078,000 the Tucson offers a lean burning diesel. Imbued alongside common-rail straightaway injection technology, it’s proficient for 112 horsepower. Mated to a 4-speed automatic, the Tucson CRDi scuttles good to a comfortable speed alongside piffling hassle too surprising refinement. The engine’s non as isolated or tranquility as its Accent stablemate, but the 2.0-liter unit of measurement won’t telephone call upwards attending to itself. With a heavy correct human foot too stop-and-go traffic, the Tucson nonetheless manages an fantabulous 12.86 km/L. No doubt, those who are to a greater extent than akin to fuel economic scheme challenges volition fair much better.

Besides the drivetrain though, the Tucson offers piffling divergence versus its rivals. From the outside, it looks construct clean too modern. Unlike another oddball designs out of Korea, the Tucson’s rounded pentagonal headlamps, raised fog lamps too gaping front end brake ducts practice a pretty proficient impression of a Porsche Cayenne. The raise division is every bit distinctive likewise alongside a hexagonally cutting drinking glass (actually a two-piece tailgate), let-set tail lamps too prominent oval exhaust piping finishers. The absence of torso cladding distinguishes this from the range-topping 4WD. There are no off-roading pretensions alongside the Tucson alongside its relatively depression soil clearance too highway-only tires (215/65 R 16).

The depression sticker toll may hold upwards difficult to fathom peculiarly considering the lengths Hyundai went through to blueprint the Tucson’s exterior too giving it that torque-y diesel. However, the savings direct keep to come upwards from somewhere, too inwards this case, it’s inwards the cabin. Overall, it’s non genuinely offensive, but the endeavour could hold upwards better.

It’s patently too feels as if it was lifted off a abode appliance. Unfortunately, this handling extends to the steering wheel, where the strange 9-3 angle makes it difficult to hold.

It’s non all bad intelligence from the within though, as the Tucson is filled alongside commendable things. For instance, the seats are comfortable. Finished inwards high-grade fabric, it’s bum-friendly. There’s proficient adjustment too, making way for a proficient driving potion for merely nearly whatsoever torso type. Despite the cookie cutter materials, the Tucson feels as company too sturdy as whatsoever Japanese compact SUV (sometimes fifty-fifty better). Feature-wise, it’s a heavy-weight likewise alongside a wonderful JVC good organization alongside auxiliary good jack (iPod owners rejoice) as good as 60/40 split-fold seating. Too bad though, there’s absolutely no security equipment on board hold upwards it airbags or anti-lock brakes. Aside from the disc/drum brake set, there’s piffling else that volition halt the Tucson confidently (the brake pedal experience is consistent too fade-free though).

On the road, the Tucson feels similar whatsoever typical car-based SUV: comfort-oriented rather than corner-biased. There’s some impressive levels of grip, but because of the high torque figure, aspect some bike spin hijinks when the restrict is unloaded. There’s some generous understeer, but overall the Tucson feels poised too controlled.

The Hyundai Tucson’s direct keep on the compact SUV is unique neither because of its cast nor its driving characteristics, but because of what’s nether the hood. Clearly, the Tucson is made to traverse the urban jungle, but it tin nonetheless practice the out-of-town trekking i time inwards a while, granted yous don’t quest the security of 4WD. There are some shortcomings alongside the Tucson, but alongside the price, it’s a steal. If there’s a argue to consider buying a Hyundai aside from the Starex, it’s this one.
