Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the RM164,888 1.6T Prime. Its 178 hp 1.6-litre turbo is 24 hp up on the RM143,888 2.0 Style, while retaining front-wheel drive and five seats. Pay RM186,888 for the 1.6T Prestige AWD only if all-wheel drive matters; it keeps the same 178 hp turbo and wet dual-clutch automatic. The RM197,888 1.6T Prestige Hybrid is the performance-led choice, pairing front-wheel drive with 242 hp hybrid output. Equipment differences are not specified, so check the full list.

Hyundai Tucson buyer's guides & reviews

Verdict

The Tucson gives Malaysian buyers four distinct mechanical routes, from a 154 hp 2.0-litre petrol to a 242 hp hybrid, rather than one fixed specification. Its entry price is higher than the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70, Jetour Dashing, GWM Haval H6, Omoda Jaecoo J7 and Mazda CX-5. The 178 hp turbo and 242 hp hybrid variants need to justify that premium through the equipment and drivetrain you actually need.
