Hyundai Tucson 2010 Model
Hyundai is a brand that is far from what it used to be, say, 20 years ago. The car manufacturer has come a long way creating great sellers like the Genesis coupe, Genesis Sedan and Sonata. This time it has introduced the Tucson. The company’s studio based in Germany produced an eye popping design that makes Tucson a one of a kind vehicle.
Performance
It is roughly the exact size as the previous Tucson model, but much better. It replaces the six cylinder engine for a four. Interestingly, its 2 liter engine produces two more horsepower than the old six cylinder.
This is great to keep mom moving around town, but it lacks the power to keep up with its rivals. It is lacking in that extra engine inertia. . The Tucson is herald to go zero to 60 miles per hour in 8 seconds, enough to get you feeling comfortable. Amongst the Limited model that was tested, the 6 speed automatic was the transmission selected. But while it shifted brilliantly, the driver also had the opportunity to manually control via the center console.
The test crossover is rated between 21 and 28 miles per gallon of regular gasoline. Not good when compared to its rivals. On the interstate and small towns, it ran at 22 miles per gallon.
Price
The asking prices is $2,850 more for the premium package with navigation system, beautiful sunroof, which opens almost inaudibly, an audio system and a rear view camera. The seats a leather design for shorter trips, but seems to be lacking in lower back support.
The steering wheel have all the modern control, but the interior, however, nice the layout was countered by the hard black plastic that did not jibe with premium. The huge sunroof helps to make it feel more wide and spacious, however the framing limited the amount of cargo room.
The Tucson is about 56 feet, 15 to 20 feet shorter than most of its competition. The price of the Tucson starts at $18,995 with a manual transmission model. From there a base Limited model marketed for $25,845. Higher up the scale is the tested crossover for $29,590.
