2010 HYUNDAI NEW TUCSON REVIEW

2010 HYUNDAI NEW TUCSON REVIEW





Crossover
Appearances New Tucson SUV is no longer, but it leads to a crossover. This is evident from the body design is circular, either in front or behind. As a result, look more stylish, match the crossover concept that combines the MPV, SUV, and the hatchback. Therefore, for the Indonesian market, Hyundai chose only 4 x 2 systems of motion with the motion of the front wheels.

New Tucson condensed appearance with European style (designed by Hyundai's studio in Russelsheim, Germany). Because of that, passing from behind the appearance of this crossover SUV is similar to the X-Series from BMW and Audi Q5. Kupe style sideview mirror.

Engine
As a driving source, Hyundai Theta II engine plant, with a capacity of 2.0 liter DOHC engine technology and dual continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) to both suction and exhaust valves.

Specifications of this machine really fits with his brother who used a group from Korea, namely the All-New Kia Sportage that had already been declared as a crossover. The ability of the engine produces maximum power and torque are the same. Likewise with McPherson front suspension and rear multilink receipt.

Nevertheless, the body design and dimensions differ a bit (more Sportage length 35 mm), but the wheels antarsumbu same distance. Hence, the claims of the same radius of rotation, which is 5.29 meters.

In terms of price, both are also almost identical, differing only Rp 1 million, especially in comparison with the Sportage with automatic transmission. If given the tag of New Hyundai Tucson Rp 287 million (on the road in Jakarta), the All-New Kia Sportage to sell 286 million (automatic transmission). Hyundai Tucson with one offer only automatic transmission.

Interior
Tucson interior with two rows of seats are very relieved. Comfortable seats occupied by the retaining head at each fitting to the size of Indonesia. Interior color combinations of black with silver on the steering wheel, the center of the dashboard, simply gives the impression of luxury cars. Finishing and quality of the interior components are very good!

The atmosphere of the interior is quite interesting and fun is when the engine life or night. On the instrument panel with two dots on the right and left (binocular) using pencahaya blue. Likewise, on-screen audio and lights on the console box.

The position of the steering wheel and driver's seat and comfortable fit. As a result, may reduce fatigue during long journeys. Only the fingers of the left that has a button to adjust the audio volume. Like a car now, could be used to play audio CDs, can also be connected to USB and aux to play songs with the MP3 format. The placement of speakers in the door with the position in order to produce a pretty good sound for the ears of drivers and passengers (front and rear).

Transmission
Shifttronic 6-speed transmission equipped with manual shift is simply done by pushing forward or backing the position of the transmission rod in the center console. PS 166-powered engine when the vehicle is able to meet speed up and climb.

Nevertheless, the gearshift crossover deeply felt, especially when the vehicle accelerated at the front of the chase. The same thing happened on the ramp. The condition is quite annoying drivers who are accustomed to using the Japanese-engined SUV above 2.0 liters, or SUV from Europe with the same engine capacity.

The sound of the engine, transmission, and the wheels are still being felt, but it was better than the cars from Korea before. For stability, it is tested optimally. However, very good steering control.
