The fourth-generation Hyundai Tucson has been sighted on Malaysian roads once again, a year and a half after its earlier sighting on local roads.
This time photographed at a petrol station by paultan.org reader Jackson Lim, the fourth-generation Tucson has been previously observed to be the long-wheelbase version that was launched for the United States, where three powertrain options were offered from launch.
Zoom in on the second image, and the ‘1.6T’ badge on the tailgate is just about visible. This would mean that Malaysia will get at least one variant of the new Tucson that is turbocharged, packing the 177 hp/264 Nm turbocharged combustion engine that is likely mated to the six-speed automatic transmission.
Should Malaysia get the LWB version of the Tucson, this will be a C-segment SUV that measures 4,630 mm long and 1,864 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,756 mm.
Overseas, the line-up consists of a 2.5 litre Smartstream engine that produces 187 hp and 241 Nm of torque channeled to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, joined by others packing a 1.6 litre turbocharged petrol engine and six-speed automatic gearbox combination.
The Tucson in overseas markets receives the SmartSense active safety suite comprised of highway driving assist (HDA), forward collision-avoidance assist (FCA) with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist (LKA), lane following assist (LFA), blind-spot view monitor, high beam assist and a surround view monitor.
On the infotainment side, the top specification is a 10.25-inch touch navigation unit that offers split-screen operation as well as enhanced voice recognition, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. These can be expected for Malaysia, too, though we will know in detail for certain when it makes its official arrival.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The game changer finally arrived. Price below 130k
hyundai? gamechanger? are you high?
Sime Darby will surely whack maximum, it’s OK if only sell few units but make profit – bean counter accountant mentality. RM188k CBU. RM166k CKD.
Anyone wants to guess how much this would cost since back in 2018 the 1.6T with the exact same output cost RM144 who wants to bet this one will be RM190k even with the same previous used engine?
Aisk… we need hybrid, EV laa
Next year RON95 rm3.30 lo
usually will arrived 3 years after a new model came out…
Because from Korea to Malaysian too far and we are third countries , they think we don’t need too fast to get new model , here need to clear up all old model stock part import from other countries assembly and sale here.
It should come fully loaded like the one in Korea and US! But i can smell Sime Darby cut corner already

SG has this Tuscon since late 2020. :)
We used to have the LWB 1.6T. But it was dropped since last year. The SWB 1.6 hybrid that makes 230hp / 350NM is the sole model now
All RHD Tuscon are made in the Czech republic
Mistake of bringing in the Creata. The sales are negligible… and looks like Ativa. Please take it off the show room and replace with this.
