Hyundai Tucson features

The Hyundai Tucson features a sleek and fluid exterior design and competes in the popular CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) segment. The Tucson is offered in front-wheel and four-wheel drive arrangements, and is available in GL (FWD only) GLS, and Limited trims. The GL is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a standard five-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission.

Tucson’s handling

Unlike the utilitarian driving experience common to many compact crossovers, time spent behind the wheel of the Tucson can actually be enjoyable. Credit for the Tucson’s handling goes to its Euro-tuned suspension and nicely weighted electric power steering. The engine choices aren’t quite as special — a 165-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder or a 176-hp 2.4-liter — but they’re generally competitive for the segment.
