The latest third-generation Hyundai Tucson has been given an elaborate walk-around tour by Dave Fitzpatrick, PR Director of Hyundai Motor Europe to showcase the SUV’s brand new design. With 1.2 million units sold, Hyundai is dubbing itself the “pioneers” of SUVs. Right.
Anyway, it looks much better than the outgoing model, with a sleeker body and a character line on the side that now flows consistently from the front to the rear. This big fella’ is also longer and wider than the current-generation Tucson. It measures in at 4,475 mm long, 1,850 mm wide and 1,645 mm in height, making it 65 mm longer and 30 mm longer than its predecessor.
In Europe, where the Tucson is built, it will no longer carry the ix35 name but instead, it will just be called the Tucson. On the inside, Hyundai claims that the SUV is the widest car in its class. The rear gets an automatic power tailgate while the boot space, Hyundai claims, is the largest in its class.
A slew of driving assist systems come with the Tucson, which include both active and passive systems such as Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist and Backup Warning Sensors, and Smart Parking Assist System (SPAS).
this is just fabulous, spectacular, perfection in and out, but i’m poor folk.
Poor? than you should get this car, rich people drive Audi Q5.
OMG…very nice car. This can sell well here with cheaper pricing. Just like the Subaru XV, sell cheap, then u can see a lot on the road nowadays…
Dream on. HSDM is anything but generous. Expect a significantly pricier n under specced tucson
Got RV?
As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV
But Altis 2013 can get 68k, how?
Only those stingy buggers care about RV on resale of cars.
Great, go get one immediately after launch in Bolehland.
Will time it to dip the trade in price of the current cabbage
Your papa Sam bought you proton saga anyway. We know you are proud of it.
Sam and his 25yrs old son now both work as umw sales man. Now 2 corn man in one showroom and both reporting to branch sales manager by the name of Daniel. I hope his son Hilux can do better than his father Sam .
looks like China Great Wall Haval H6.
Kimchis and China cars are at par. Not surprised that they look alike
NCAP star rating hyundai much better
OMG…r u kidding? Ur eye got problem…
he means Great Wall H8.
try google.
wow! potential can rival many at the price range of below RM130K
Accord is probably killing lots of choice when touching RM130K range
Accord has already killed the kimchis K5 and Sonata long long ago.
12 month old 2.0 Accord traded in for RM120k.
12 month old K5 would fetch RM25k and Sonata RM29k now
You talk bodoh are you my son? Work hard. Now your sales is almost zero for 2 months. I will soon chase you out from my Cheras flat. You go rent a room outside.
If you B.Shit too much about the RV figures on any make of cars, then nobody will believe you, they will instead laughing at your stupidity.
No avatar=imposter
Please do not buy new sushis.
Head down to the nearest Hyundai showroom and get yourself a new Tucson/Sonata.
Need to prime the used kimchi market 12 months laters
Proton Accordana when launch will ‘kill off’ all cars within that range.
Perfect car, looks great. will get one when is here, but hopefully with good specs, if potong specs, then will forgo.
I wonder where did he get his specs? This Tucson is in the same class as the XC60 right? I’ve not seen another car with as a big a bout space as the XC60. The exterior dimensions of the Tucson are all smaller than the XC60, so how can it be the widest in its class.
Kimchi and China cars are in the same category.
Volvo=Geely
I wonder if he got his specs correct. Is the XC60 in the same category as this Tucson? The XC60 exterior dimensions are all bigger than this new Tuscon, so how can the Tuscon be the widest in its class? Also, I’ve yet to see another 5-seater SUV with a bigger boot than XC60. Maybe Q5 has a bigger boot… but definitely not this Tuscon.
Hyundai, please hire some professionals to do the walk-around video next time, like how BMW and Merc always do. The moment the name and title popped up in the video, I have already lost half of my interest, and then the not-so-smooth presentation and sometimes a bit awkward pronunciation diminished my interest further. all in all, it’s not doing any good the overall feeling and reputation of this car.
come on, hyundai, you can do better than that!
They can hire Paris Hilton as their ambassador, but kimchis will never have RV
macam la ko bagus sgt..
Since CX3 still no news of coming, i may consider this
Consider a used Tucson instead
proton need not worry to move forward wat hyundai did over these years..cuz proton design bmw qualities car
Another stupid comment, generalization of quality is misleading.
Proton Cars have better RV than kimchis
Hyundai is improving leaps and bounds. You got to give them the due credit.
It looks awesome and hopefully it drives as good as it looks.
All the best Hyundai.
In that case, quickly head to the nearest Hyundai showroom and book yourself a Tucson.
Can’t wait to show you the Hilux within 12 months
You may need to wait 12 years to demo your Toyota to Hyundai owners.
I may or may not buy a Hyundai, but nvr a Hilux by personal choice.
The RV of Hyundais have nosedived by leaps and bounds as well.
This is where trading kimchis makes sense
looks nice and simple car to own..
price it right here, i’m sure this car gonna sell good.
CRV – too big with underpower
HR-V – a jacked up city, too plain
CX-3 – too cramp
Xtrail – subjective look
CX-5 – its aging look
New Tucson will have a way to steal the market if rightly priced
Consider a used Tucson. Very dai mai
weh.. u keep talking about rv, u always sell your car ka? if a person likes a car why would he/she sells the car? and oh ya check the current market.. korean car are as par or even better in terms of rv compared to their japs counterparts. and furthermore toyota cant even beat the tucson in terms of looks la..
How about the ASX? It’s always left behind the pack thoo.
Poor man Q30. LOL
looks nice indeed.
Both suck
Lousy car with lousy refinement and lousy chassis. Selling looks only.
Keep this junk in Korea la
Might as well get the China Land Wind (Range Rover lookalike).
At least its better value for money
Really don’t care what kimchis sell.
All I care is the great trading business that comes about because kimchi are sold to sorhai tai lan ngongs
I’ve not test drive a Korean before but i did test drive the JAZZ and CITY. Both car are really crap in terms driving feels, Cabin feel like and empty can…I was thinking of buying this 2 car end up i didn’t buy. Oh yeah test drove the HRV too but still not my liking.
Is something we can do to stop Toyota salesperson from defaming other carmakers? Ban them from flooding the comment section in favour of their sales. (And I know my comment would cause a lot of phantom dislikes votes from Sam)
As I scrolled down from top to bottom of this comment section, I can see frequent comments from Sam, and his friends (or just him alone). In addition, the the likes and dislikes are just fishy.
I owned an elantra for 3 years…its not a bad car…nothing goes wrong yet..better than my mother civic…brake problem… gearbox problem…not all is bad… those who complain only afford saga…like sam loo
