If you want a vehicle that will take you further, try the 2019 Hyundai Tucson. Available with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, this SUV is offering the latest in entertainment tech and driver assistance systems. Shoppers can choose the Essential trim or step up to the Preferred, Luxury or Ultimate editions.
The hexagonal front grille is an outer sign of an overall change in the Tucson model. New headlights and taillights improve visibility and add to a sporty demeanour. Helping drivers see what's behind them, heated side mirrors with blind spot insets are standard. Tucsons are offered in seven colours, including Aqua Blue, Gemstone Red, and Dusk Blue.
A Better Driving Experience for the 2019 Hyundai Tucson
For the Essential and Preferred Trim drivers, the standard engine is a 2.0 L four-cylinder engine. It produces 161 horsepower which is managed by an efficient six-speed automatic transmission. You can step up to the 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine which produces 181 horsepower.
The HTRAC all-wheel drive is an able companion on snowy days. It adjusts to bad road conditions as needed, but it also drives in fuel-efficient front-wheel drive when there's no need for extra traction controls. Downhill Brake Control, standard on all models, will help the Santa Fe driver to maintain a safe speed when travelling down an incline.
Safety aids and warnings actually improve the driving experience. A forward-collision warning is paired with an automatic braking aid to reduce the chances of a crash. Other aspects include lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian detection, and blind spot monitoring.
The 2019 Hyundai Tucson Interior Offers More Standard Equipment
This year, the Tucson is offering more features for the money throughout the line-up. The Essential trim includes a 7-inch colour touch-screen display with a rearview camera. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standards that let you connect to more apps from your own smartphone. An auto-defogging system is included with the dual automatic climate controls.
The driver and front-seat passenger are treated to three-stage heated seats. Offering Push Button Start, a remote keyless entry system makes it easy to lock and unlock, while the hands-free power liftgate is a busy parent's ally. The cargo hold can expand to handle 1,754 litres of gear.
