Review Hyundai Tucson 2017-2018: model appearance, interior, specifications, security systems, prices and equipment. Photos of the car. At the end of the article - a video panorama of the Hyundai Tussan 2017-2018!
Review content:
The debut of the third generation Hyundai Tucson took place in 2015 at the annual Geneva Motor Show. Compared to its predecessor, the car has changed in all respects: the crossover has received a completely new design exterior, larger dimensions, improved and more comfortable interior, and also became more technologically advanced.
It is worth noting that the predecessor of the new Hyundai Tussan 2017 in the European and domestic market was known as ix35. Now, regardless of the market, the car will be called "Tucson" - the name received in honor of the city of the same name in Arizona (USA). By the way, in the language of North American Indians, the name "Tucson" means "spring at the foot of the Black Mountain."
Exterior Hyundai Tucson 2017 - 2018
The first thing you pay attention to when looking at the new Hyundai Tussan is its dimensions. The crossover has become noticeably larger than its predecessor:
- Length- 4.475 m;
- Width- 1.85 m;
- Height without roof rails - 1.655 m (with roof rails - 1.66 m);
- Wheelbase has 2.67 m.
The third generation of the Hyundai Tucson received a completely new look which successfully combines solidity and sport. In general, the car is made in uniform style with the latest generation of the younger Hyundai ix25 and the older Hyundai Santa Fe.
The front of the car flaunts aggressive LED head optics, a monumental hexagonal false radiator grille and a spectacular bumper, where a small air intake and twin foglights are neatly written off.
The profile of the crossover is no less stylish and modern, attracting the eye with a sloping roof line, a window line rising to the stern, massive wheel arches and graceful stampings running along the large side doors.
Stern Hyundai Tussan received large shades parking lights with LED filling, a large tailgate topped with a small spoiler, as well as a neat bumper with a sports diffuser and a pair of trapezoidal exhaust pipes.
Those who wish to become the owner new Tucson can choose from eleven body colors, as well as one of several R18-R18 wheel designs.
The interior of the new Hyundai Tussan 2018
Following the appearance, it changed and interior design a car that has an ergonomic, strict and at the same time modern design. The stylish multifunctional three-spoke steering wheel is endowed with a pronounced relief, and dashboard, complemented by a 4.2" LCD screen on-board computer, is highly informative. In the central part of the dashboard is a functional touch screen multimedia unit with a diagonal of 8 inches.
Directly below it is a double row of function buttons, and even lower is a stylish microclimate control unit, represented by a small display and a pair of functional knobs. The interior of the car is mostly made of quality materials, but in some places there is still hard plastic, the presence of which does not spoil at all general impression from interior design.
Hyundai Tucson is designed for five passengers, none of which will face shortages free space, what is the merit of the increased wheelbase.
The front seats, although far from the standard, have a friendly profile and a sufficient number of adjustments. An electric drive and a ventilation system are optionally available, which is still a rarity in cars of this class. The gallery received a tilt-adjustable backrest, a separate air duct unit, an armrest and a heating system (optional).
Trunk volume has decreased slightly and now stands at 488 liters, which can be increased to 1478 liters by folding the rear sofa. Hidden in the boot floor is a full-size spare tire and a small repair kit. It is important to note that the lowered backs of the rear sofa form a perfectly flat floor, which makes it easy to transport bulky cargo.
Specifications Hyundai Tucson 2017-2018
Currently, Hyundai Tucson 2017-2018 in Russia is represented by three power units - two gasoline and one diesel:
- A 2-liter gasoline engine equipped with distributed power technology and delivering 149.6 “horses” and 192 Nm of torque. Depending on the type of pre-installed transmission (6-level mechanics or 6-level automatic) and the type of drive (front or full), acceleration from 0 to 100 ranges from 10.2-11.8 seconds, developing a maximum of 186 km / h. Fuel consumption in combined cycle equal to 7.8-8.4 liters for every hundred kilometers.
- 1.6 liter turbocharged petrol engine direct injection fuel. This motor develops 177 "horses" and 265 Nm of thrust, which is available in the range of 1.5-5.5 thousand rpm. Such a motor is offered exclusively with a 7-level "robot" and all-wheel drive, and also has the following dynamic capabilities: acceleration to hundreds takes 9.1 seconds, and the maximum speed is 202 km / h. The fuel consumption did not let us down either, varying between 6.5-9.6 liters, depending on the cycle.
- The last engine is a 2-liter diesel engine for 185 "mares", issuing 400 Nm of thrust and allowing a maximum speed of 201 km / h. With this engine, the SUV eats about 6.5 liters of diesel fuel per “hundred” in combined mode and reaches 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds.
The machine is based on a radically modified predecessor “cart”, represented by a transverse power unit and independent suspensions front and rear - MacPherson struts and multi-link with a transverse stabilization system, respectively.

Review content:
New Generation Hyundai Tucson has become much more aggressive, stylish, and also more personable. In addition, the manufacturer has finally stopped playing with names, and the buyer can purchase exactly the car he needs without any clarification.
Design Hyundai Tucson 2016
The last generation we saw was the hippopotamus, that's what they called it. The new one has become much more technologically advanced, but the features of the Sportage co-platform are clearly visible here. So, it's time to look directly at the car. The crowning design idea was a huge grille, which is inherent only in premium cars. Hyundai has swung at this segment, as evidenced by the abundance of chrome parts, the presence of LED headlights, which are so popular at the present time, and of course the overall muscular body shapes.
The last generation known to us from the IX 35, which looked a little awkward, especially in its front end. Here you can clearly see the swift appearance, a massive bumper, in which small fog lights with daytime running lights are hidden. It is worth paying attention to the asymmetric skirt, one part is trimmed with honeycomb mesh, the other is muffled to hide the tow hook. To be honest, the new Hyundai Tucson 2016 is difficult to pay attention to something specific, since the car has so many new features that make your eyes run wide.
The profile of the new generation looks much more solid than the ix35. There is no longer an awkward hood, as well as headlights of an incomprehensible shape. Here everything is in its place, has a specific purpose, and also gives appearance completion of performance.
Already in the database, 16-inch alloy wheels are offered here, which, on the way to the top configuration, grow up to 19 inches.
The co-platform is very clearly visible here, as well as the roots of the car. With massive black plastic around the perimeter, the manufacturers, as it were, hint at the fact that the new Hyundai Tucson 2015-2016 is able to prove itself not only on asphalt, but also on light off-road. In fact, this is a very dubious advantage, since test drives have shown its actual helplessness. In addition, highway tires are already installed from the factory.
The back of the new generation also looks assembled, stylish, there is nothing superfluous, but it all looks not Spartan. The twin tailpipe exhaust system also emphasizes the character of the model.
Dimensions Hyundai Tucson 2016:
- Length - 4475
- Width - 1850
- Height - 1660
- Wheelbase - 2670
- Clearance - 182
- Front track width - 1608
- Rear track width - 1620
- Wheel size - 215 / 70 / R16
Interior Hyundai Tucson 2016
As mentioned above, the Koreans decided to slightly raise the class of the car, for which they put a lot of effort. The plastics here are hard, but they look solid. In addition, the use of soft materials in places where a person can touch was a tricky move. For example, these are armrests, opening handles, all kinds of knobs, as well as buttons.
The driver's seat, as in the previous generation, is not comfortable here, however, after numerous adjustments, it is possible to achieve an almost ideal position. The only thing that is not very much lacking here is the rigid form of the pillow.
The instrument panel is a classic layout that includes two large wells with a speedometer and a tachometer, as well as a small 4-inch trip computer display that can display information about current consumption, speed, range on remaining fuel, and other vehicle systems .
By the way, about systems. Hyundai equipment Tucson 2015-2016, a bit unusual for a car of this class. If you choose between Hyundai Santa Fe Premium and this car, then most likely the choice will fall on the latter. Hill Start Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane Keeping Assist are available here. The Auto Hold system deserves special attention. It allows the driver not to hold the brake pedal when the vehicle has stopped temporarily. For example, at a traffic light.
The pride of the model was a huge 8-inch touchscreen, which, of course, is used for multimedia control and navigation, as well as for the rear view camera. In general, nothing unusual, but for Tushkan this is a huge step forward in terms of development towards technology, and it’s not supposed to, sort of like a class.
In general, it cannot be said that the center console is distinguished by some kind of chic or sophistication, but it is precisely its rustic forms that captivate. Finishing in different colors of plastic of good quality - perhaps this is all that the model can boast of. An air conditioning control unit can be installed here, or maybe climate control, designed for two work zones. Of course, in such a car I would like a third zone for rear passengers, but, again, “it’s not allowed in the class.”
Next to the gearshift lever or selector are buttons for controlling the drive, parking sensors, driving mode and other vehicle systems. The same cup holder is installed, though without clamps, but with a rubberized bottom.
The second row looks even more comfortable than the front. However, this is not the case. Yes, the wheelbase of 2.67 meters is enough to fit three passengers, and still neatly fold their legs. But no more. Of course, the kick of the seat, and the pillow itself folds, freeing up plenty of space for luggage. In the first case, its volume will be 488 liters, but in the second - 1448 liters.
Hyundai Tucson 2016: specifications
Koreans have been on the Russian market for a long time to design a huge number of engines that would be unpretentious, reliable and productive in our conditions. Past experience with Santa Fe showed that even diesel fuel in our country is quite realistic to use for work foreign engines. So, here, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson boasts four power units, one of which is powered by diesel fuel. Let's start with him. It's impossible to say which engine is the top one, because the top of the range comes with all types, let's just say it's just the most powerful.
4 cylinders, the working volume of which is 2 liters in total, develop 185 Horse power and 400 Nm. Of course, such results were achieved thanks to the use of a turbine, now there are quite a few atmospheric engines, which shifts the operating range towards medium speeds. Such an engine will require no more than 6.5 liters on the highway or 8 liters in the city. At the same time, acceleration to hundreds takes no more than 9.5 seconds, and this is with a mass of 2.25 tons. The maximum speed stopped at around 201 km / h. This is the same engine that we saw on previous generations, however, despite the increase in weight by 200 kg, the Koreans managed to reduce fuel consumption in the city by almost a liter. Not bad.
Now let's talk about less powerful engines. The second two-liter engine develops 150 horsepower, is powered by gasoline and “swallows” 7.9 liters of gasoline with front-wheel drive on the highway, and 10.7 liters of gasoline in the city. The all-wheel drive version has a great appetite: 8.3 and 11.5 liters. At the same time, the dynamic characteristics do not differ. Acceleration to hundreds takes 10.6 seconds, and maximum speed will not exceed 180 km/h.
Next in the hierarchy are engines with a displacement of 1.6 liters. The former can develop 132 horsepower and 161 Nm of torque. There is no turbine here, so fuel consumption is slightly lower than that of the older brother. Acceleration to hundreds will take no more than 11.5 seconds, while the maximum speed will be 182 km / h. Four-wheel drive for such a motor is not offered, only front-wheel drive, with six-speed mechanics, which is logical. For a hundred kilometers along the highway, it will be necessary to fill in 6.7 liters, and in the city - 8.5 liters.
Last motor offered with a seven-speed robot and all-wheel drive, the only one. It develops 177 horsepower and is built on the same cylinder block as the previous one. The torque is 265 Nm. Because of the turbine, fuel consumption is slightly higher than that of the aspirated, but the dynamics are better: on the highway, you need to fill 7.5 liters every 100 kilometers, and 9.2 liters in the city. Such a Jerboa will exchange the first hundred in 9.1 seconds, moreover, it is able to develop the second hundred.
Hyundai Tucson 2016: equipment and prices
The new generation Hyundai Tucson is offered on the Russian market in five trim levels, which differ little from each other.
Already in the database you can get all-wheel drive, but only with an automatic transmission. Here the buyer will receive fabric trim, air conditioning, heated front seats, an audio system with CD, a hill start assist system and 16-inch molding. For a complete set of Hyundai Tucson Start 2016, you will have to pay an amount that is in the range from 1.2 to 1.45 million rubles.
Comfort
This equipment starts from 1.4 million rubles. There will be the same systems passive safety, too fabric interior, tire pressure sensors, climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors, rain and light sensors, fog lights, heated wiper blades. The trim of the steering wheel and shift lever will change to leather, while the steering wheel itself will become heated. A turbocharged 1.6 on a robot is available here, but there are also front-wheel drive options, the size of the disks is already 17 inches. The maximum price of a complete set of Hyundai Tucson 2015-2016 Comfort will be 1.72 million rubles.
Journey. Perhaps an appropriate name, because with such equipment in the configuration it is quite pleasant to travel. Perhaps this name was chosen because this is the first configuration in which regular navigation is available. There will be a keyless entry system, engine start with a button, and front parking sensors will appear. Also, LED optics with an automatic corrector will be installed on the car, and there will be rails on the roof. The interior will be covered with leather, heated rear seats, that's all the changes in the cabin. The price of such a configuration will be at least 1.6 million rubles, as a maximum, 1.9 million will have to be paid.
There are no longer front-wheel drive modifications, only all-wheel drive. Only machine or robot. There will be a servo seat, their heating, as well as a door drive with a memory opening angle. Also, the car is equipped with a blind spot monitoring system. Perhaps this is where the changes end. The price of this configuration Hyundai Tucson 2015-2016 varies from 1.78 to 1.85 million rubles.
Prime + High Tech
This kit is called so for a reason. It is thanks to her that the new Jerboa will become a worthy competitor to more serious rivals. There will be a collision avoidance system, lane control, automatic parking, a panoramic sunroof. The size of the disks, as mentioned above, is 19 inches. For such a version, you will have to pay about 1.95 million rubles.
In 2015, the manufacturer introduced the 3rd generation Hyundai Tussan to the public. The debut of the updated compact SUV took place in the spring of 2015 at the annual Geneva Motor Show. The developers presented the model as “completely updated” and devoid of previous shortcomings. The changes affected the dimensions, interior and applied technologies.
About the changes in detail - description of the 3rd generation model
Hyundai Tucson appeared in a completely new form: the technical characteristics of models supplied to the Russian market have changed due to new configurations and improved performance (fuel consumption, acceleration, maximum speed).
Engine and modifications
The line of power units provided for the Russian car owner includes motors:
- gasoline
- 150 hp, Nu 2.0 MPi D-CVVT (torque 192 Nm), installed on 5 different modifications - with front and all-wheel drive, with "automatic" and "mechanics";
- 177 hp, Gamma 1.6 Turbo-GDi D-CVVT (turbo engine, 265 Nm, 4 modifications - with a "robot", front or all-wheel drive, with "mechanics");
- diesel
- 185 hp, CRDi 2.0 (400 Nm2 modifications - four-wheel drive, automatic transmission or manual transmission).
Gearboxes - 6 step automatic transmissions and manual transmission, 7-speed robotic box. Drive: either front or plug-in full (in normal mode, the moment is supplied to the front axle, but is distributed by means of an electro-hydraulic clutch in a ratio of 50 to 50). 
The SUV in such modifications demonstrates:
- maximum speed - 182-201 km / h;
- acceleration to "hundreds" in 9.1-11.8 seconds;
- fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 6.3-7.9 l / 100 km.
The 3rd generation of crossovers is distinguished by a smooth ride, increased handling and no longer resembles the former “simple” “Korean”.
The platform has changed
Presenting its new creation in 2015, the Korean manufacturer announced a “dramatically modified platform” of the crossover. Later it became known that the "trolley" is the same modular platform kia sportage, which has undergone changes and is no longer similar to the frame of its predecessor. 
Due to updates in the supporting structure, it was possible to increase the interior space and, as the manufacturer specified, "keep a balance between the dimensions of the car, the comfortable accommodation of passengers inside and the volume of the trunk."
Suspension has become "softer"
As before, the 2015-2018 Hyundai Tucson is equipped with an independent McPherson spring suspension at the front and an independent multi-link at the rear with a transverse stabilization system. However, the manufacturer tried to make the suspension “softer”: the McPherson shock absorber rods increased in thickness, and the levers rear pillar became longer. These measures have played their role: the owners appreciated the changes for the better, but at the same time noted that the high level of comfort is still far away.
Body and exterior
Among the external transformations are changed dimensions and more aggressive features that give the SUV a sporty, confident character. Since 2015, the body has been made from the latest generation of high-strength steel, which deforms upon impact, dissipating energy so as to cause minimal damage to the driver and passengers.
Dimensions
The third generation Hyundai Tussan has become more spacious: the overall dimensions have been increased, the ground clearance. To this day, the Korean crossover is available in the following sizes:
- 4.48 m - length (65 mm more than its predecessor);
- 1.85 m - width (by 30 mm);
- 1.66 m - height (by 5 mm);
- 2.67 m - wheelbase(by 30 mm);
- 182 mm - ground clearance (by 2 mm);
- 1454-1690 kg - curb weight.
New appearance
A close examination of the exteriors of the Hyundai Tussan III and its predecessor reveals the following changes:
- the trapezoidal radiator grille has increased, the width of its chrome stroke has also “grown”, providing the exterior with massive horizontal ribs;
- on front bumper Hyundai Tucson - a clear relief (spectacular punching edges);
- there were modified fog lights and thin strips of LED daytime running lights, head optics acquired more convex and elongated forms, which create the effect of a kind of “expressive look from under the brows”;
- the slope of the A-pillar has decreased, the rising top line is narrowed towards the rear of the windows - all this has a positive effect on the aerodynamics of the crossover.
- the hood and side surfaces of the body have increased in volume;
- the car was endowed with massive wheel arches and disks different design and diameter - from 16 to R19 on the top versions of the Hyundai Tucson.
- here appeared a massive tailgate and wide, long rear led lanterns;
- the design of the side windows completes an elegant touch - a small spoiler on the tailgate;
- also on the karma we can see a neat bumper with a diffuser and trapezoidal exhaust pipes.
The manufacturer offers to purchase Hyundai Tucson III in one of 11 available body colors. 
Looking at the 2015-2018 crossovers, we can safely say that we have a completely different car in front of us, which is not much like its predecessor (on the Hyundai ix35). The SUV completely lost its “Asian features”, acquired a modern and stylish exterior, and now it is not inferior in external characteristics to its classmates. But at the same time, he lost his individuality (if not for the emblem, it would be difficult to determine the brand of a car only in appearance).
Increased comfort level in the cabin
The corporate design style was preserved in the interior of the SUV, but at the same time, engineers and designers managed to modernize the interior and increase the level of comfort due to:
- installation of ergonomic chairs (equipped with electric adjustment of the lumbar region);
- comfortable and pleasant to the touch multifunctional steering wheel;
- air ducts for the second row of seats;
- the use of better materials (the steering wheel is covered with leather, door cards and instrument panels have acquired a softer plastic finish);
- using a softer blue backlight;
- panoramic roof (in top trim levels).
Governing bodies
Technicians worked hard on the internal equipment:
- the on-board computer has found a 4.2-inch color LCD display and a digital dashboard;
- installed premium audio system Infinity;
- the center console has changed, in its upper part there is a navigator screen (in the top versions there is an 8-inch multimedia touch screen), under it there is a double row of buttons, a stylish climate block(with display and rotary adjustments);
- the steering wheel has become more convenient, equipped with an electric booster, a heating function, “received” a lot of keys, decorated with an aluminum insert, covered with leather;
- and now not only disc brakes (ventilated in front), but also numerous electronic assistants are now responsible for braking.
How roomy is the "Korean" of the 3rd generation
There is more space in the cabin (the space was increased by changing the dimensions of the car, and in particular the wheelbase). The updated crossover can easily accommodate five people. 
Although the first row seats in the crossover have changed (they got an improved profile, a sufficient number of adjustments), they still have short pillows (a traditional feature Korean cars) and are equipped with "weak" lateral support. The electric drive is only available as an option. 
On the second row, the seats are adjustable (only the backrest can be changed). rear seats equipped with air ducts, the armrest remained in the same place. A heating system is available as an option.
Unfortunately, the trunk volume has decreased to 488 liters (you can free up space for transportation bulky cargo by folding the rear seats "to the floor" - up to 1,478 liters). A spare tire and a repair kit are hidden in the subfield.
Available configurations and prices
Today, the manufacturer offers to purchase Hyundai Tucson in 6 modifications: at the beginning of 2018
- with "mechanics" and front-wheel drive, with a 149 hp engine. - 1,370,000 rubles;
- the same motor complete with "automatic" and front-wheel drive - 1,430,000 rubles;
- or with a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive - 1,540,000 rubles;
- or with an "automatic" and all-wheel drive - 1,590,000 rubles;
- in the middle configuration, a robotic box with all-wheel drive and a 177-horsepower engine is offered for 1,745,000 rubles;
- version with a diesel 185-horsepower unit, all-wheel drive and "automatic" - for 1,870,000 rubles.
These modifications have recently been updated - especially for the Russians in 2018, the automaker endowed the equipment with a new set of technical options and presented the lineup Korean crossover as the most optimal for operation in Russia (Primary, Family, Lifestyle, Dynamic and Prim configurations with the High-Tech VIP package). For example, the average configuration was equipped with LED optics (front and rear), alloy wheels with a diameter of 19R. From technology: a blind spot monitoring system, a rear view camera, parking sensors, an 8-inch multimedia and navigation screen, an electric brake with car auto-hold functions. The interior is trimmed with combined leather, the rear sofa seats are heated. The tailgate opens remotely, keyless entry is possible into the cabin. Installation possible additional options(manufacturer provides a wide range). 
On secondary market cars of 2015-2017 are presented, which have slightly different characteristics than SUVs sold today through car dealerships.
Main competitors
The main competitor of the model is still Kia Sportage(only in its updated version), "in the image and likeness" of which the Korean Hyundai Tussan 3 was created.
From year to year, the competition for the South Korean SUV is:
- Ford Kuga;
- Honda CR-V;
- Toyota RAV4;
- Mitsubishi Outlander;
- Nissan X-Trail;
- Chery Tiggo 5.
Features of the model that distinguish it from competitors
The name of the Korean crossover has always been associated with high reliability car, economical expenditure of funds for its maintenance and service. In 2015 to the list unique features new characteristics of the model were added, which were not previously characteristic of it:
- the level of comfort in the cabin has increased, the aesthetic properties of the car have been improved;
- improved "running" characteristics (handling, dynamism, cross-country ability, fuel consumption);
- the manufacturer has equipped the updated crossover the maximum number security programs.
The manufacturer tried to "wipe his nose" to competitors and updated the exterior and interior, creating the third generation of the SUV. Nothing else inside the car “screams” that you found yourself driving a modest Korean SUV, on the contrary, you feel high ergonomics, freedom of movement and an order of magnitude improved quality of finishing materials (although still not everywhere, for example, in some places it is used instead of soft "oak" plastic, but the salon already "does not creak" and does not scare away).
In the cabin, the noise level has noticeably decreased (although there were no particular complaints about this parameter) - the engineers worked to reduce the engine noise level by high speeds. In medium and top trim levels, an 8-inch multimedia screen is installed, there is an engine start button and other nice “chips” that the owners of competing models can only dream of.
A test drive of the 3rd generation model showed that the specifications of the Hyundai Tucson are on high level thanks to the work of the “well-coordinated tandem” of the transmission and the power unit, demonstrating decent handling, dynamics (especially in city driving conditions), not too high fuel consumption. However, on the track, you can feel some loss of connection between the steering wheel and the car's handling (experts attribute this "feeling" to the power steering settings). AT harsh conditions off-road, the SUV demonstrates good cross-country ability (“electronics work clearly”, transferring torque to rear wheels, which immediately adhere to the ground).
Unlike many competitors, the crossover configuration is equipped with almost all modern systems active and passive safety. Planned crossover updates in 2015 made it possible to create a safer car, according to this indicator, the manufacturer received five stars from EuroNCAP for its model (according to the results of the test).
As a result of significant changes in the model, the manufacturer managed to expand the audience of potential buyers: attention has recently been drawn to the Korean SUV not only from family Russians, with established habits and values, but also from the young population, among whom it is customary to pay attention to the level of comfort and external characteristics car.
Resolved deficiencies
Judging by the reviews, one of the main problems has disappeared previous model- "hard" suspension. But, unfortunately, there was another - not always adequate work of "automation". Gear shifting has become noticeably smoother, but, according to the owners, "there is no desired transparency in traction control."
A review of the reviews allows us to draw an unambiguous conclusion: in addition to the one named, there are no other serious claims against the Hyundai Tucson. But as small cons users call:
- "Weak" lateral support on the front driver's seat;
- not enough space in the trunk;
- not enough heated windshield washer nozzles;
- there is no electric drive of the front seats (only in the top version);
- the finishing material in the cabin is not always of high quality (in some places there is “hard” plastic);
- on back row seats, insufficient smoothness is felt more strongly, which can cloud the feeling of traveling long distances;
- even in gentle mode, the brakes start to “smell” when descending a mountain (but do not lose effectiveness).
The list of cons has increased significantly since previous years, and all because the achievement of a new level of quality has brought with it more requirements from the consumer. It is worth noting that some of these disadvantages can be eliminated by ordering additional appropriate options.
Undoubted advantages
Along with an expanded list of claims based on owner reviews, an equally significant list of benefits has been compiled. Hyundai models Tucson 2015 - 2018 release.
- enlarged discs;
- comfortable seating in the chair;
- spectacular appearance (Hyundai Tussan 3 looks different than its predecessor - more modern, more dynamic, sportier);
- increased comfort level in the cabin;
- large equipment with electric assistants even in the standard version;
- spacious interior (the crossover has become more spacious);
- good driving performance(dynamics, controllability, visibility);
- a wide range of configurations;
- optimal level of "price/quality" ratio;
- fuel consumption has become more economical (especially when using a diesel engine), and the engines are “higher-torque”;

New body
The swift contours of the new body not only added attractiveness to the Hyundai Tussana 2016 (photo), but also had a favorable effect on the technical characteristics. The streamlining coefficient Cx, compared with its predecessor ix35, has been reduced from 0.37 to commendable for a crossover of 0.33.

Specifications
The design of the Hyundai Tussan 2016 crossover retained a proven multi-plate clutch capable of transmitting to rear axle up to half of the engine torque and differing, as shown by independent test drives, by increased resistance to overheating at slippery surfaces. Therefore, the main innovations in the technical characteristics of the Tucson transmission are the new 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch robot. Thanks to the extended range of gear ratios, even basic version with a 1.6 GDI engine with a power of 132 hp has a decent level of overclocking dynamics. Specifications Hyundai Tucson 2016 at a price of 1,239,900 rubles with front-wheel drive, they declare 11.5 seconds of acceleration to hundreds, 182 km / h of maximum speed and a modest 6.7 liters per 100 km of average (NEDC) fuel consumption.
Due to the fact that base motor combined only with mechanics and front-wheel drive, the slowest is the 2-liter (150 hp) Hyundai Tussan 4WD with an automatic machine worth 1,490,900 rubles. The technical characteristics of this version include 11.8 seconds of acceleration to 100 km / h and 180 km / h “maximum speed”. The absence of all-wheel drive and automatic transmission is expected to improve the dynamic characteristics of this modification of the Hyundai Tucson 2016: up to 10.6 seconds and 186 km / h, respectively. Average fuel consumption is reduced from 8.3 to 7.9 liters per 100 km.
Turbocharged versions of the Hyundai Tucson 2016 look the most “capable”, where the price starts at 1,625,900 rubles. Not having additional options, differing in the type of drives and gearboxes, the technical characteristics of the top modifications of the Hyundai Tussanov are always constant. The 177-horsepower petrol version with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed robot exchanges the first hundred in 9.1 seconds and finishes acceleration at 201 km / h. Diesel (185 hp 4WD) Hyundai Tussan 2016 with a new body and a 6-band automatic lags behind a little, gaining 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds. But the maximum speed is not inferior to a fellow running on gasoline, and the main advantage lies in the average fuel consumption, which is 7.5 and 6.5 liters per 100 km, respectively.
