Re: Hyundai Tucson Petrol Automatic Review First of all a very heartfelt congratulations to you and your family on acquiring this gem of an SUV, the Tucson is actually an excellent all-rounder and I personally find it in no way lacking and is an excellent choice for anyone who requires a urban premium 5seater SUV.
Like you mentioned I'm also not a fan of the new design language of Hyundai cars and they are actually turn-offs for me, the fluidic 2.0 IMHO is still one of the best design languages seen in mass-market cars and still manages to look nice and elegant. Every car be it the old Elite i20, Elantra or the Tucson looked so pleasing, The 4th gen Tucson might be very modern and brimming with modern-age gizmos but is not that appealing in design wise at least for my conservative tastes. The outgoing Tucson's design is still so elegant and is actually gives of cars one segment above which belong to a certain German luxury marquee!
Then there is the quality and attention-to-detail, everything in the interior is made of or covered with extremely high-quality material and TBH the more time you spend with it, the more it makes you forget about some missing modern-day features and personally on the features part I don't find it lacking at all and all the features you normally use in daily life is definitely present along with some nice-to-have extras.
You chose the Petrol AT which I think is a very balanced choice and absolutely perfect for a sedate driver and it has decent enough poke for cruising at sedate speeds and mild overtakes, also considering the fact that it uses simple but refined and reliable MPFi NA+Torque Converter combo for engine+gearbox give you peace of mind for a long term which again combined with in-general fuss-free ownership experience and wide after-sales network of Hyundai pan-India makes it for a compelling choice, although I'm a die-hard diesel head and have a very pedal-to-metal(almost erratic ) driving nature which is why the 185PS/400Nm 2.0CRDi with quick 8AT and AWD was the version that appealed to me, it can easily keep with some premium machinery at the expressways all day long without breaking a sweat and at the same time return a decent fuel-efficiency which modern turbo-petrols can only dream of.
With this, I once again congratulate you and hope that you have a delightful experience with the Tucson and it keeps you happy for the time to come. Thanks, stay safe and happy motoring! |
