2016 HYUNDAI Tucson 0.95 KWh 1AT (134 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The new crossover Hyundai Tucson made its appearance in 2015 at the New York International Auto Show. The completely redesigned vehicle featured a fresh, sportier exterior design and an appealing interior. Hyundai made the fuel consumption a top priority for the model and managed to make significant improvements compared to their previous Tucson.

The front design of the Tucson featured LED Daytime Running Lights, LED twin-projector headlights and the Hyundai’s specific hexagonal-shaped grille. The car’s wheelbase was increased thus the interior flexibility and the ride experience were enhanced. Buyers could opt for 19-inch alloys, a feature that was not offered for the Tucson before the 2016 model.

The interior was refined to offer a premium experience, with a leather-wrapped instrument panel and soft-touch materials used for the touch points.

The base models were equipped with a 2.0-liter engine, developing 164 hp and 151 lb.-ft of torque. The engine was mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission that also offered a manual shifting mode (SHIFTRONIC).

The Tucson was offered with an optional all-wheel-drive system incorporating Hillstart Assist and Downhill Brake Control to help the drivers when necessary.

The Blue Link system integrated for 2016 offered enhanced safety and infotainment: start/stop feature, remote door lock/unlock, car finder, stolen vehicle recovery and others, features that could be controlled via a device supporting Android.
