“Hyundai’s design language as of late has been polarizing to say the least. Where some automakers stick to what’s worked in the past, Hyundai prefers to mix it up and try new things. Case in point, this new Tucson looks nothing like the old one. It could have jumped out of the set of Bladerunner with its polygon inspired sheetmetal and futuristic grille that camouflages its daytime running lights within its mirror-like facets. Everywhere I looked I found more to see, more to keep my eyes moving.” – Kunal Dsouza, Wheels.ca
Hyundai brought its A-game with a total revamp of its Tucson compact SUV, earning itself an Editors’ Choice Award from Car and Driver. It shakes up the compact-SUV market with angular lines and a muscular stance, which totally changes the Tucson’s attitude and the way that it is viewed. It is part of Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design language, and the automaker hit the ball out of the park with this one.
The greatness continues inside, where the five-passenger Tucson is elegant, stylish, and spacious. Standout design elements include a simplistic but modern dashboard design with a digital gauge display, push-button shifter, and touch-sensitive control panel for the climate-control system and infotainment. The longer wheelbase adds significant rear-seat legroom as well as cargo space to the Tucson, making it one of the most spacious choices on the market.
More Technology
“Going hand-in-hand with the interior’s upscale design is the sheer array of technology on offer. The available 10.25-inch fully-digital gauge cluster is so crisp that it doesn’t even need a hood to be legible in direct sunlight. Delve into the menus, and the gauge cluster can adopt this funky cube UX that’s reminiscent of what we think that the 1980s thought was the future. How’s that for meta?” – Thomas Hundal, Doubleclutch.ca
The advanced technologies found on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson make your life a little easier and your drive a little more enjoyable. While an 8.0-inch touchscreen comes standard, an available 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation system elegantly integrates into the waterfall-inspired centre stack of the Tucson.
And you are sure to remain safe thanks to the Hyundai SmartSense suite of safety features, which provide you with added peace of mind through a range of camera, radar, and motion detection technologies. This includes forward-collision-avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, and more.
More Power
There are three powertrains available for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson: a gas version, a hybrid version, and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version. The gas model gets a 2.5-litre four-cylinder that delivers 187 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed transmission. It offers plenty of power and decent fuel economy, but the real zest is found in the hybrid and PHEV models. Here, a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder delivers 227 horsepower in the hybrid and 261 horsepower in the PHEV.
However, all iterations of the 2022 Tucson offer fun and confident driving dynamics. The steering is crisp, the ride is agreeable, and the ride is quiet and refined.
More Confidence
