Hyundai Tucson review: 2015 UK first drive - Motoring Research
Around a decade ago, Hyundai launched a compact SUV in the UK called the Tucson. Then came the freshly designed and European built ix35 in 2009 which took away the Tucson name, and sold as many cars in its first year as that original Tucson sold in its entire UK lifespan. Now, things have come full circle, as Hyundai returns the Tucson name to its C-Segment SUV. In the six years between this all-new car and its namesake, the C-SUV market has become hugely important, with the ix35 moving itself to being Hyundai’s second best-seller in the UK. Which means nailing the product in this sector is vital for... The new car features 51% high strength steel, boosting crash protection and refinement over the departing ix35. Prices begin at £18,695 for the entry-level S trim car with a 1. 6-litre petrol engine, climbing to £32,345 for the top-spec Premium SE... Most of our time on test was spent in the range-topping 182hp 2. 0-litre diesel 4WD model, mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. Source: www.motoringresearch.com
