“Imagine tomorrow’s car, today”. That’s the marketing tagline for this all-new Hyundai Tuscon.  The new-generation Tucson is boldly different in its styling, with some eye-catching lines.  Considering a Tuscon but need to tow a trailer or take your bikes along on those weekends away.  We now have a full range of towbars specially designed for the new Tuscon.

The new Tucson really is a big step forward for the brand. It demonstrates Hyundai's ambition of transforming to a mainstream player like VW, and not a value-led budget brand.  Its aim is to steal customers from the premium market. The Tucson is really that impressive - solid dynamically, properly practical, usefully efficient in hybrid form, and with a well-finished cabin that oozes tech in all the right places.

It’s larger, more accommodating and more interesting to look at than ever before. The new Tucson is nothing like the old one in terms of its design, and you’re either going to love it at first sight, or it will definitely grow on you. 

It’s not a small car.  The new Tucson spans 4630mm on a longer 2755mm wheelbase, and it’s 1865mm wide and 1665mm tall. It’s longer than a VW Tiguan and only just shy of Toyota’s RAV4, an obvious rival also offered with hybrid power. 

All Tucsons benefit from an infotainment system that comprises a touchscreen that’s as crisp as the best flatscreens and comes with smart graphics to boot. The menus are also straightforward and the software is generally responsive.

Hyundai gives you lots of kit, which means satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, DAB radio and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring comes as standard.

The materials feel good to touch – soft and sensual where it counts – and the buttons come with a well-damped action. 

Very spacious. There’s at least as much headroom as anything else in the class, plus plenty of legroom, too. It also feels broader and airier than many of its rivals.  The Tucson’s rear seats are great for taller folks, so if your family SUV will be used regularly for ferrying adults as well as kids, it’s definitely one to check out. It’ll sit two six-footers comfortably, even with the front seats slid well back. There’s lots of room for their feet under the front seats and the headroom is excellent.

The Tucson’s boot is almost certainly one of the biggest in the class. The boot capacity is a generous 616 litres.  If you need some extra luggage space, they fold in a very useful 40/20/40 split, helping to maximise the space available for passengers and any longer pieces of luggage, and you can fold them easily using the handy levers positioned just inside the tailgate opening.

Need more space? Why not fit a NX4 Tuscon towbar.  Hyundai has rated the new Tucson for a max towing capacity of 2200kgs.  Order today.
