Following the start of order taking for the fourth-generation (NX4) Hyundai Tucson yesterday, the redesigned five-seat SUV is now making its first public debut at this weekend’s paultan.org Premium Auto Car Expo (PACE) which is happening at the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC) from November 4-5.
Three variants of the Tucson are being offered, all of which come fully imported (CBU) from South Korea. No pricing to report until an official launch takes place, but we do have detailed specifications for each variant.
The base option is called the 2.0 Lite and it comes with 17-inch alloy wheels (235/65 profile tyres), LED MFR (Multi Face Reflector) headlamps, bulb-type taillights, fabric seat upholstery, manual seats, a leather steering wheel, a Supervision 4.25-inch multi-info display, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, six speakers, keyless entry and start (with remote start), a rear-view camera and manual air-conditioning.
The list continues with seven airbags, ABS, ESC, hill start assist, rear parking sensors, Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW), Safe Exit Warning (SEW) and Rear Occupant Alert (ROA). Passive cruise control and an auto hold function for the electronic parking brake are the only driver assistance systems fitted to the 2.0 Lite.
If you step up to the mid-spec 1.6T Plus, the kit list is improved with the addition of 19-inch alloys (with 235/55 profile tyres), leather seat upholstery, an eight-way powered driver’s seat, paddle shifters as well as a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Sitting at the very top of the line-up is the 1.6T Max, which improves upon the 1.6T Plus by adding front parking sensors, LED combination taillights, aluminium roof rails, 8-way powered front seats with heating and ventilation functions, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, a powered tailgate, an electrochromic rear-view mirror, rain-sensing wipers and a wireless charging pad.
The 1.6T Max is the only one that comes with more advanced driver assistance systems, including Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with stop & go, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with junction support, Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA), High Beam Assist (HBA), Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) and motion sensing for the ROA.
The latest Tucson is built on the N3 platform and we’re getting it in long-wheelbase form, just like in the United States.
