Hyundai Tucson 2020-2022

Hyundai provides the option of two various powertrains – petrol & diesel, in Tucson. The petrol variant uses a 2.0-Lt, BS6 compliant engine which produces 152.88 hp of peak power & 192 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox option. The ARA-claimed fuel economy of this engine is 12.95 kmpl which is a decent figure for such a big-sized SUV. 

Tucson is also available with a 2.0-Lt, turbo-diesel engine which produces a peak power of 182.46 hp & 400 Nm of peak torque. This engine comes mated with an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The claimed fuel economy of this engine is 15.38 Kmpl. This engine is the most powerful and torque-rich in the segment.

Hyundai has designed the engine & gearbox of the Tucson to perform well in sync with the AWD system. The power is well distributed and the engine pulls the SUV hard from a standstill.

The ride and handling combination of Tucson is tuned in the typical Hyundai fashion. The overall layout is more oriented towards the softer side. This means, the suspension is soft & provides a cushioning ride to the passengers at city speed limits. Broken roads & bad patches are eaten up well and the NVH levels inside the cabin are also very well contained. Steering feedback is also very light for city use and the maneuvering capability of Tucson on traffic full roads is pretty easy. But, as you hit the highway, Tucson starts to move and pitch. This is due to the softer setup. Over the highway, Tucson is not an enthusiast’s delight. Braking is well and the handling is neutral which provides a good sense of control over triple-digit speeds.

Hyundai has equipped the Tucson SUV with loads of safety features. As Tucson is an international selling product, the sturdiness and chassis quality have already been tested by global safety agencies. Tucson comes with safety features which include – 6 Airbags, Hill-Assist Control, ABS, EBD, front parking assist, rear parking assist, height-adjustable seatbelts, & electronic parking brake as well. All these safety features combinedly make Tucson a very safe & sturdy SUV to own.
