New Hyundai Tucson diesel tops the pops in style and torque

It makes the previous generation Tucson look like a shrinking violet in comparison, but the vehicle isn’t just about a futuristic new façade; it’s also grown in size and gained new technology. At 150mm longer and 15mm wider than the previous generation, it is exceptionally spacious inside, with stretch-out legroom for four to five tall adults.

Peace of mind ranks high with the new Tucson earning a five-star Euro NCAP rating. All models have six airbags, ABS brakes, electronic stability control, downhill brake control and hill-start assist. It has a comfortable ride on unkempt surfaces, as part of an impressively solid and refined package. It is a wieldy vehicle that scampers through corners without feeling wallowy.

Three of the four Tucson models are powered by a 2.0 petrol engine offering 115kW and 192Nm, while the range-topping Elite also has the option of a 2.0 turbo diesel with outputs of 137kW and 416Nm.
