2015 Hyundai Tucson road test and review - The Sunshine Coast Daily
Well, we won't have to wait long for an answer to that question with the launch of the Tucson, the medium SUV replacement for the popular iX35, in the Snowy Mountains. Tucson is longer, wider and more refined, better equipped, quieter and stronger, with sharper looks. And with front-wheel and all-wheel drive models, four engines, three transmissions and four comfort grades, buyers are certainly spoilt for choice. The cabin of the new Tucson is spacious and comfortable with particular attention given to the layout and functionality. The increase in soft touch plastics is easy to see but there are a fair few of the harder variety - the plastics that scratch easily - around too. As is usually the case with Hyundai, there are a variety of very useful storage options, including deep cup holders, practical door bins and even a chilled glove box. At 488 litres, the boot has 42 litres on its predecessor, with 1478 litres available when the rear seats are dropped. We put three of the Tucson's four engine options to the test on a varied and sometimes challenging drive route, with the SUV digging in to impress. Source: www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au
