The New 2010 Hyundai Tucson


The Hyundai Tucson compact sport-utility vehicle ("SUV") is all-new for the 2010 model year. Its bolder new style is inspired by Hyundai's new overall design theme called "fluidic sculpture". The look emphasizes sportiness, prominent body creases to make the design distinct, and aerodynamics.

The new Tucson is larger and more powerful than the 2009 model. It is 4.5 inches longer, 3 inches lower, and 1 inch wider than the 2009 model. Under the hood, the Tucson has 36 more horsepower than last years model. Impressively, despite offering more room and more power, the new Tucson is 64 pounds lighter, in front-wheel drive, four-cylinder form than the 2009 model. With two-wheel drive, the new Tucson is rated at 31 miles per gallon the freeway.

The 2010 Tucson is a definite competitor in the crossover compact SUV class. It offers more interior room than the Ford Escape. It also offers slightly more horsepower than the Escape and Nissan Rogue. On the flip side, it offers slightly less space and horsepower than the Toyota RAV-4 and Honda CR-V. All of these models have between 170 and 180 horsepower in four-cylinder form. Only the Toyota RAV-4 offers a V-6 option among these vehicles. Hyundai has discontinued the V-6 option for the new Tucson.

Standard features in the 2010 Tucson include Downhill Brake Control Hillstart Assist, Bluetooth, and an improved all-wheel drive system. A six-speed automatic transmission is also standard. New options for 2010 include a panoramic sunroof and a touch-screen navigation system.

The Tucson offers two model choices; the GLS and the Limited, both in two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive form. The Limited model has such amenities as leather seats, larger wheels, panoramic sunroof eight-way power driver's seat, a rear camera, and a 6.5-inch touch-screen navigation system, among other features.
