Is the “Korean” so bad as the Russians paint him?
In 2020, Hyundai will begin production of a new generation of the popular Tucson compact crossover. The car will be built on a new platform, which has already formed the basis of the new Hyundai Elantra, but due to the increase in the number of high-strength steels in the body structure, the Tucson will become lighter and more durable.
The appearance of the crossover will change beyond recognition. The exterior design will be decided in the style of the latest Hyundai models. A distinctive design element of the Tucson will be a “toothy” radiator grill that flows smoothly into the headlights. The extreme sections of the grille will be LED elements that are a continuation of the headlights. Thus, the boundary between the headlights and the grille will be completely erased. Below will be a block of round LED foglights. On the side, the dynamic image of the new Tucson is emphasized by the stamping. The crossover will retain the horizontal shape of the rear lights, however, they will become LED and will be combined by a bar.
The interior of the next generation Hyundai Tucson has nothing to do not only with its predecessor, but also with the new models of the brand. Door cards will flow smoothly into the front dashboard, which will look very modern. The instrument panel will become fully electronic and will take the form of a square tablet. The center console will be a single touch space, which will house the screen of the multimedia system and the touch panel for controlling the air conditioning system. In addition, the car will lose the traditional selector in the choice of automatic transmission modes by switching to button control.
The new Tucson’s active and passive safety systems are doing more than well: 8 airbags, active cruise control, automatic braking system, marking tracking and all-round cameras.
As power plants, a 2-liter aspirated with a capacity of 150 horses, which is combined with a variator, and a 2.5-liter engine with a return of 180 horsepower, which is aggregated with an 8-speed automatic, are provided. To the delight of drivers, the all-wheel drive system and independent front and rear suspensions remain.
The new Hyundai Tucson 2020 has not yet entered the market, but motorists are no longer waiting for it. The Korean will appear on sale at the end of 2020, and its cost to Russians will be 200–300 thousand rubles more than the previous generation. So, the basic equipment will cost 1.8 million rubles, and the “top-end” – 2.3 million rubles. “Well, erysipelas”, “Terrible as my life”, “Who needs this nausea?”, “For the money and with the variator?” Thank you, don’t, ”network users write.
