The all-new compact SUV hits the road with razor-sharp looks unlike anything in Hyundai's lineage.
HI guys.. today I thought of sharing the new 2022 Hyundai Tucson which I saw from the teaser of last week's live streamed reveal. It definitely shows that Hyundai and Kia are really getting their designs done to meet the futuristic market. This Tucson will hit the road with razor sharp looks and yes it is production ready, even those conceptual forward lights.
It will be sold globally in long and short wheel bases depending on the regions where in the United States, China and Korea definitely will be getting the long wheelbase version as well. Let's see what comes here to Sri lanka.
The 2022 Tucson looks fantastic from nearly every angle, starting with the aggressive, concept like front end. There you'll find a massive geometric grille that integrates 10 "half-mirror type" daytime running lights that are perfectly hidden when deactivated, but reveal themselves when lit. The main headlamps and high beams, meanwhile, are tucked into smaller grille openings below the DRLs.
There's a bit of Kona in the SUV's raked roofline and bulging fenders, but overall the SUV is much more sharp and angular overall, with more upright proportions. Around back, the Tucson's fang-like triangular taillights are joined by a full-width light bar.
The tech doesn't stop at the dashboard; Hyundai's Remote Smart Parking Assist tech, which debuted on the Sonata and allows drivers to remotely pull the vehicle into or out of a tight parking spot with the touch of a button, will also be available. There's also the entire Hyundai SmartSense safety suite (there's a tongue twister), rolling in adaptive cruise control that works in stop-and-go traffic, advanced lane-keeping steering assist and more.
Hyundai Digital Key tech will allow owners to use a smartphone as the vehicle's key. Digital Key will allow drivers to lock and unlock the doors, start the engine and drive away using Bluetooth and NFC tech. The phone can even be used to remotely start the car and activate climate controls from up to 90 feet away.
The Tucson will be available in conventional, hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. Its engine room will be home to either a 2.5-liter Smartstream four-cylinder that makes 190 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque or a turbocharged hybrid system.
The hybrid's 1.6-liter turbo four-banger makes 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, which is supplemented by an electric motor for a total system output of 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This looks like the same hybrid powertrain as the recently announced Kia Sorento Hybrid with, presumably, the same 1.49 kWh lithium-ion battery pack for the HEV and a 13.8 kWh pack for the PHEV.
