Weaknesses and main disadvantages of a used Hyundai Tucson. Weaknesses and main disadvantages of a used Hyundai Tucson Name return time

The turn of the millennium is the most interesting time in the history of the automotive industry. In the mid-nineties of the last century, a class of crossovers appeared, formed and rushed into the attack, and by the beginning of the two thousandth it became clear that any self-respecting brand simply must have such cars in its line, if, of course, it claims a serious market share.

Naturally, the Korean brand Hyundai, which has just entered the era of active technological development and expansion into export markets, could not stand aside. As a result, in 2001, the first crossover of the brand, Santa Fe, appeared, and in 2004 his younger brother, a cute pop-eyed animal named Tucson, rolled along the roads of the planet. The Russians liked the good equipment, endurance and affordable price of the Korean crossover, which quickly earned the nickname "jerboa". And you should not consider this nickname offensive, because its very presence indicates popularity.

But in 2009, when the second generation of the model appeared, she lost both her name and nickname, at least in the Old World. In the US market, the car was still sold as the Tucson, and in our country as the iX35. Nevertheless, the “jerboa”, which has lost its own name, has not lost its popularity, and in the crisis year of 2015, the sales figures of the model only slightly fell short of the segment leader Toyota RAV4. But the iX35 had enough shortcomings: the experts unanimously blamed not the best sound insulation, and the lax suspension, and not everyone liked the "oriental beauty" in the body architecture.

Name return time

The world premiere of the crossover took place in March, at the Geneva Motor Show, and in November the official sales of the novelty started in our country. The reaction to the appearance of the newcomer was, as expected, stormy: what else could it be if there was an obvious contender for the title of world bestseller? Worldwide - because it was immediately announced that on all continents and in all countries the car will be called the same. But then, as they say, "the opinions of scientists were divided." Some said that Tucson is essentially the same iX35 with a changed appearance, others that Hyundai rolled out a completely new car. Let's figure it out, and start, as usual, with the exterior.

The body has grown by 65 mm in length and 30 mm in width, the wheelbase has grown by 30 mm. Accordingly, the overhangs also slightly increased, but there’s nothing to be done ... But the drag coefficient was reduced from 0.37 to, if not a record, then certainly an excellent value of 0.33. The ground clearance has also increased: now it is 182 mm. Also not a record, but it is clearly better than the absolutely "light" 175 mm predecessor. In fact, a protective belt made of black unpainted plastic that surrounds the lower part of the car and protects the bumpers, sills and wheel arches should inspire some confidence in the ability of Tucson to move not only on paved roads. But ... To understand the limits of what is permitted outside the asphalt, it is worth looking under the car and make sure that too many vital components are either not protected at all, or their protection can be called symbolic.

Not adding off-road enthusiasm and 19-inch alloy wheels and tires with a completely road pattern. On the ground, I would like to have tires with a higher profile, but we have the top-end Prime equipment on the test, and it is equipped with just such "bandages".

But technically the car is fully equipped. Heated steering wheel - I respect! For me, even the most budget cars should have this option in Russia. The steering wheel itself is quite comfortable, with the controls placed on the spokes. On the left spoke - control of the phone and media center, on the right - cruise control and on-board computer screen. Both analog instruments and the four-inch display located between them are perfectly readable at any time of the day. Naturally, there is also a large touchscreen display topping the center console, with built-in TomTom navigation. True, the promised information about traffic jams was not available, but the graphics are excellent, and the search for the desired address is organized quite logically and does not cause any difficulties. On the other hand, to connect a smartphone with Yandex plugs, you do not need an adapter to the cigarette lighter socket - there is a USB slot next to it.

The seats are exceptionally comfortable, naturally with a full range of servos, including lumbar support. I was very pleased that in addition to heated seats, there is also their ventilation. I hate leather seats in the summer heat, but then I poked a button - and order, a complete feeling that you are sitting on the icy throne of Chyskhan (if anyone does not know - this is the Yakut Santa Claus).

By the way, compared to the iX35, the seat cushions have become significantly longer. The rear passengers also got more legroom - in any case, "by myself" I fit without any problems. And at the back sofa, you can change the angle of the backrest. This is important, because by placing the backrests in a more upright position, you can slightly increase the volume of the trunk, namely, the designers sacrificed it for the space in the cabin.

Yes, the volume of the luggage compartment is perhaps the only parameter in which the third Tucson is inferior to its predecessor. The decrease in volume from 593 to 488 liters is impossible not to notice ... But the Russian driver will be pleased with the presence of a full-size spare wheel, and keyless access to the trunk is just something!

He is alive

But in order for the electronic intelligence to wake up and actively engage in work, you need to wake it up. To do this, you will have to pay attention to the block of five buttons to the left of the steering column. First of all, we are interested in the second and third from the left, which are responsible for the functions of monitoring the blind zone and keeping in the lane. There is also an "automatic valet", but it is turned on in a different place - the corresponding button is located near the gearbox selector, next to the "off-road" tools: the downhill assistant and locking the rear axle coupling. Actually, it would be more logical to collect all the "assistants" in one place, but oh well.

So, "autopilot" is on, a corresponding icon is visible on the instrument cluster, you drive out into the street - and nothing seems to happen. You drive as usual. And at some point you notice that the icon turns green. This means that the system is "hooked" on the markings and is ready to go. And since you are doing it yourself, there is no work for her yet. But then you decided to distract yourself - well, let's say, choose another radio station, or enter the address into the navigator ... And at some point you suddenly feel that the steering wheel itself is delicately pushed into the palm of your hand, like a cat requiring affection, and the car is already ready cross the marking line, returns to the lane. And all this works even in a long turn, for example, on the interchange loop - the steering wheel itself turns to the desired angle, practically without your participation!

In the name of Azimov

Apparently, customizing robotic boxes is a special art that is not given to everyone. There are two modes for the checkpoint - normal and sport. "Normal" is clearly focused on maximum efficiency: judging by the jumps of the tachometer needle, in this mode the gearbox does not allow the engine to spin at all and changes occur at less than 2000 rpm. Accordingly, it seems that at least half of the herd from under the hood was sent to graze on summer alpine pastures. You can call them back with a kick-down, but the robot needs two or three seconds to decide whether to call the horses or not. You can, of course, switch to "Sport", and then energetic rearrangements and overtaking become available to you. But driving like that all the time is also not very pleasant - the reaction to pressing the pedal turns out to be too hysterical. But the worst is traffic jams.

It would seem that in heavy traffic, the "normal" mode is what the doctor ordered. But no! Here you started, and the box literally immediately switched to second and then to third gear. But everyone crawls very slowly, and it is impossible to continue acceleration, even if it is smooth. You release the pedal (and the gear is still third!), And the car starts to slow down, lagging behind the flow. You add gas - and at this moment the robot switches back to the first! Naturally, the car jerks ... And this is repeated more than once, and not twice. Well, if you switch to "sport" - there will be a continuous first gear and gas-brake, gas - brake ... Maybe the "robot" standing on Tucson followed the laws of robotics invented by Azimov, but he irritated me quite regularly. All this was especially acutely felt in contrast: it just so happened that during the test I had to change several times to crossovers of other brands with traditional "automatic machines". In a word, if I were going to buy a Tucson, I would definitely choose a version with classic hydromechanics, even with a weaker two-liter engine. Or he pulled himself up and bought a car with a 185-horsepower turbodiesel.

On the loose

The South Korean carmaker Hyundai introduced the compact SUV Hyundai Tucson I to the world in 2004, the car reached Russia only in 2005. Until that moment, motorists had to go to all sorts of tricks to get a new Korean crossover (imported bypassing dealers from the USA, Korea, European countries). And all because the 1st generation Hyundai Tussan opened the segment of affordable crossovers to motorists in the mid-2000s. Until this moment, the SUV sector of the Korean car market was represented only by Santa Fe.

Affectionate nickname for your favorite car

The name for the new development was, according to tradition, borrowed from the American town of Tucson, in Arizona it reads like Tucson, but in our country the SUV was called Tussan and even affectionately Jerboa. Inexpensive, passable car, not defiant, "modest" appearance, turned out to be quite reliable and comfortable in its price category.

Korean quality in the global market

All models of the Korean manufacturer, produced since the 2000s, are characterized by average technical capabilities, and the set price allows us to call almost all of them "a car for the people." Simple, reliable and inexpensive Hyundai Tucson 1 is a clear confirmation of this expert opinion.


The first generation was produced from 2004 to 2009, during which time the lineup was updated twice. Sales were going well, only a couple of years after entering the global market, the manufacturer began to think about the need to make changes. Hyundai Tucson 1 has undergone a small upgrade: the developers changed the technical characteristics in the 2006 Hyundai Tucson (a diesel engine appeared in the lineup), slightly refreshed the appearance of the Korean. And two years later, instead of a 113-strong diesel unit, they offered two options - 140 and 150-horsepower engines.

Characteristics of the "Korean" of the first generation

Consider from all sides the first generation Hyundai Tucson 2006: specifications, exterior and interior. As well as the changes introduced to the lineup in 2008 and the features of the original Korean crossover (2004).

Platform, suspension, handling

No matter how hard South Korean engineers tried to develop a new SUV from scratch, Hyundai Tussan 1 took over a lot from its "older brother" (mid-size Santa Fe). True, this did not apply to the platform (Santa Fe was "built" on the Hyundai Sonata platform, and Tucson - Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sportage).

The suspension of Hyundai Tucson (1st generation), according to the unanimous opinion of the owners, is tough. There are MacPherson struts in the front, a multi-link in the back, an anti-roll bar. They fail too quickly. The type of shock absorbers is gas (they “knock”, but there is no point in changing them right away).

It is easier to control the car than similar crossovers of the 2000s: it "keeps" the trajectory when making a turn. But the steering wheel is adjustable only for inclination, adjustment for the depth of departure is not provided.

Engine, gearbox and transmission

The lineup of the first generation in different years was distinguished by modifications, the line of power units was gradually "overgrown" with new motors.

2005-2006

Cars that officially appeared on the territory of our country (in 2005) are equipped with 2-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 141 hp. (in-line 16 valve) and "more lively" 2.7 liter 175 hp. (V6). The maximum speed is 180 km / h, up to a hundred cars accelerates in 10.4-11.3 seconds. Combined fuel consumption is 8-10 l / 100 km.

The SUVs are aggregated with a mechanical five-speed gearbox (first) and an automatic four-band H-Matic (second), have four-wheel drive. As practice has shown, the gasoline engines of the Korean are reliable, do not show chronic problems, “are not picky” (as motorists put it, “they digested our gasoline without any problems”).


The only thing that confused users was that with the second engine (V6) there were no alternatives other than four-wheel drive and 4-speed automatic transmission. In the case of a less powerful motor, you can choose both the drive and the transmission. To which the experts hastened to remind: the "six", coupled with the "automatic", provides the ability to change gears manually. The torque is transmitted by default to the front wheels (TORQUE-ON-DEMAND transmission), only if necessary (when slipping) the electromagnetic clutch throws 50% to the rear axle. The clutch can be locked with a special button, but all four wheels can only be engaged at speeds up to 40 km / h.

Car owners did not immediately, but recognized the reliability of Hyundai Tucson (1st generation): a test drive showed that the crossover easily overcomes slippery paths and tightly rolled primer, passes large puddles (the SUV is not designed to ride through mud and difficult-to-pass places, that's all- not an SUV).

2006-2007

Later, after a small upgrade, the developers have enriched the lineup with complete sets with diesel engines. In the lineup of Hyundai Tucson 2007, technical characteristics have changed as follows: in addition to the already familiar gasoline engines, a diesel 2-liter, 113-strong, has appeared. The maximum possible speed is 168 km / h, acceleration to hundreds - in 13.1-16.1 seconds. Consumption - 7-8 liters per 100 km. Also, buyers were offered mono-drive modifications (only one axle).

2008-2009

Currently, many Russians can find the first generation Hyundai Tussan with new diesel 2-liter engines, 140 and 150 hp. The changed technical characteristics of Hyundai Tucson 2008 allowed car owners to talk about the reliability of its engine, about low oil consumption (even in cars with high mileage). Although in those years, similar models had a clear problem with frantic oil consumption.

Hyundai Tussan 2008 on diesel fuel produces a maximum speed of 179 km / h, accelerates in 11.1-12.8 seconds, consumes (in the combined cycle) 7-8 liters.

As a result, about 87% of old Korean crossovers Hyundai Tussan 1 (technical specifications of 2009) run on a gasoline engine (13% on diesel fuel), 70% got four-wheel drive (30% have only the front axle spinning), 60% were produced with an automatic transmission (respectively 40% with manual).

Exterior "Korean"

Although Hyundai Tucson, 1st generation was developed from scratch, the SUV looks like its "big brother" - Santa Fe, but its front part is somewhat simplified (simple lines and shapes, no reliefs), and since Tucson belongs to the category of compact crossovers, in length it is considerably shorter than the mid-size Santa Fe. Many features (due to borrowed technical solutions - units, parts, assemblies) are similar to the 2nd generation Kia Sportage (2004-2010).

Particularly unremarkable exterior and small size make Tucson a "car for movement", "a car for every day." It is a simple and practical vehicle. For the sake of daring forays into nature (without fear of damaging the body), Tucson is protected by plastic armor around the perimeter. The body itself is painted with high quality, does not rust for up to 10 years (corrosion on its "body" can occur only due to impact). Discs with a diameter of 16 are installed, which are not enough for, albeit a compact crossover, (clearance 195 mm).

Salon

The interior of the original Hyundai Tucson is made of "hard" plastic, hence the many complaints from car owners about the creaks inside the car ("the armrests, ventilation nozzles, glove compartment, trunk walls creak"). This problem was later fixed by the manufacturer. Car owners already speak differently about the 2008 Hyundai Tucson: “although the plastic is oak, it does not creak, there are no complaints about it”.

The interior is trimmed with combined leather, the interior is quite pleasant. According to some experts, the interior of the compact crossover is copied from the first generation Lexus RX (although this statement can be debated).

Governing bodies

The controls are quite simple (there are no frills and "gadgets" in an old SUV): an onboard computer, a thermometer, in top versions, climate control, heated windshield, ESP and other systems. The first generation Hyundai Tucson has a standard Hyundai-Kia autoradio tape recorder No. 961752e600 (mp3). It is believed that the 2006 Hyundai Tucson cabin lacks cruise control.

The driver's seat (like the first passenger) is equipped with a "captain's seat", the armrest is placed on the tunnel, in the middle there is a large organizer. The ride is quite convenient, comfortable, but not for long distances (the suspension fails - all the blows when driving over bumps are felt on the back).

Crossover capacity

The five-seater compact crossover Hyundai Tucson 2004 2010 has the following dimensions:

• length - 4.3 m;
• width - 1.8 m;
• height - 1.68 m.

It can easily accommodate four people. True, during long trips, they will not be very comfortable to sit. As noted by the owners of Hyundai Tussan 2008, the seats in it are flat, once an hour you have to stop and warm up. Many old cars sin with a similar disadvantage.

The trunk can hold up to 644 liters. It cannot be called large and roomy, but such a volume when traveling around the city is quite enough. In rare cases, more space is required. If you need to carry a lot of things, the rear seats are folded down.

For convenience, a double-sided shelf, a net that can be pulled, is provided inside the trunk. Not only the door opens, but also the glass separately (in some situations, this option comes in handy).

Secondary market offers: configurations and prices

The car, which appeared on the market in 2005, turned out to be quite popular, so today there are many offers for the sale of used Tucson on the "secondary". Prices depend on the year of manufacture and mileage, but fit into the range of 420-540 thousand rubles.

• 2004 c. with a mileage of about 130 thousand km - 419 thousand rubles;
• 2005 onwards (on average 140 thousand km) - 460 thousand rubles;
• 2006 c. with the same mileage - an average of 482 thousand (but can go up to 520 thousand);
• 2007 (about 120 thousand km) - 490 thousand;
• Hyundai Tucson 2008 with mileage up to 100 thousand km will cost 510-560 thousand rubles;
• 2009 (65 thousand km) - 540 thousand rubles.

The most affordable is the basic version with mechanics and a diesel engine 2.0, 113 hp. with. (four-wheel drive), with an "automatic" such a Tucson will cost 10-40 thousand more. "Medium" configurations are equipped with a 2-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 142 hp, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (MT and AT). The top version - 2.7 4AT 4WD - accelerates in 10.5 s, delivers speeds of up to 180 km / h, consumes 8.2-13.2 l / 100 km.

Main competitors

Experts call the main competitors of the old "Jerboa" available and passable crossovers of the same model years (+/- 2-3 years):

• Suzuki Grand Vitara (2005-2008) - 425-685 thousand rubles;
• Nissan Qashqai (2007-2010) - 450-590 thousand rubles;
• Nissan X-Trail (2000-2007) - 405-825 thousand;
• Chevrolet Captiva (550-620 thousand rubles);
• Mitsubishi Outlander (500-545 thousand);
• Kia Sportage (420-500 thousand)

Distinctive features that distinguish the "Korean" from competitors

The 1st generation Hyundai Tucson line differs from competitors in the following features:

• There are few "chronic" defects in the car and they can be eliminated in any local car service for little money;
• a car that is simple in every sense demonstrates high reliability, and in most cases it is this that is needed by any car owner (not prestige, not the ability to emphasize your status);
• thanks to a more sensitive accelerator and its correct settings, the SUV demonstrates faster acceleration even with automatic transmission in comparison with competitors (Kia Sportage);
• in terms of dimensions "Jerboa" is more capacious and taller than its compact competitors.

The Korean crossover was loved by the heads of families as a reliable car. Hyundai Tucson 1 serves for many years and remains in good technical condition when German and Japanese crossovers fail. The whole secret is that family people (the main category of Hyundai Tussan buyers) take care of the timely maintenance of the car, do not drive the crossover too much (they drive to the country house and out of town, but not off-road, do not "gain" high mileage on it).

The main claims to the model of car owners

As a result of operation, experts and car owners have identified the main technical problems and disadvantages of this model.

Status for 2004-2005 and changes from 2006

First of all, the elements of the chassis fail in the car. Without exception, all owners of "Jerboa" complain precisely about the knocking of the front shock absorbers and "weak" silent blocks. This is the main disadvantage of the Hyundai Tucson model until 2006, which has to be tolerated by replacing the rubber bands every two years. Front and rear struts are changed without waiting for reaching the mileage mark of 80-100 thousand km.

With careful driving, the rail can be left unchanged for a long time (after driving 150,000 km).

When is it time to change the clutch? In the case of a manual transmission, when a mileage of 100 thousand km is reached.

The main problem of the original "Jerboa" is a defect in the automatic transmission equipped with a 2.7 liter engine, namely, the "firmware" unsuitable for the powerful V6 engine. Dealers had to replace the gearbox under warranty. The manufacturer even had to announce a recall campaign in order to calmly carry out the revision. After the upgrade, the automatic transmission on the "six" worked even "smoother", the owners noted.

Brake pads have to be changed before every second service, brake discs - before the fourth.

In terms of maintenance, experts advise:

• firstly, flush the fuel system 2 times more often than in the case of other crossovers;
• secondly, change the oil every 45 thousand km (in the case of an automatic transmission), every 90 thousand (in the case of a manual gearbox).

Another specific drawback of the 2004-2005 models is the creaks in the cabin, which was corrected after an upgrade in 2006.

There were also complaints about the "lying" onboard computer (reduces the real fuel consumption) and incorrect operation of the thermometer.

2008-2009 year of release

The technical characteristics of the 2008 Hyundai Tussan were appreciated by numerous netizens. They noted his "stubborn character" ("rushing like a tank in any weather", "always starts up, even if it breathes well") and ended their odes dedicated to the Korean auto industry with an inspiring statement - the car is worth its money.

And they immediately mentioned the most unpleasant disadvantage - fuel consumption. For example, a 2-liter gasoline engine consumes as much as 2.7, and demonstrates characteristics at the level of a 1.6-liter one. As a result, we have such a consumption in the city - 14-16 liters (10-11 liters at a speed of 50-60 km / h, it takes a lot for acceleration) and 8 on the highway.

Experts also identified a problem with the fuel system: they noted the problem with injectors and high-pressure fuel pumps in the configurations with a unit running on "heavy" fuel. It is enough to clean the nozzles, and the second one will have to be changed, and you will have to purchase it as an assembly.
Everything that has been said about the Hyundai Tucson 2008 (a review of car owners) allows us to conclude that there are no special complaints about the crossover. Rigid suspension and fuel consumption are all little things, in general the car is called reliable and it is advised not to "kill" the suspension on the off-road, for which the "Jerboa" is not intended.

Benefits revealed over the years of operation

The 1st generation Hyundai Tucson line compares favorably with competitors in the following advantages:

• affordable price (given the high crossover crossover, its cost can even be called underestimated, there are few similar offers on the market);
• a wide range of combinations (different motors, mono- and four-wheel drive, manual transmission and automatic transmission are available);
• maintenance is not expensive; reliable engine;
• the Korean crossover demonstrates good cross-country ability on a dirt road, in rainy weather (good ground clearance);
• high level of safety (for this parameter, the model was awarded the maximum rating by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

Following on from the popular Santa Fe, the Tucson is Hyundai's second greenfield SUV (although it's fair to say it's Hyundai's first compact crossover to be developed in South Korea).

For the first time this compact crossover was presented at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2004. The name, in continuation of the corporate tradition, was borrowed from the South American town in Arizona.

Externally, the Hyundai Tucson crossover resembles a "reduced copy of the last generation Santa Fe" - somewhat shortened and with a greatly simplified front end (the Hyundai Tussan has a front end that is not as "embossed" as that of Santa Fe).

When the first Hyundai Tucson began to appear in Russia, many initially confused them with Santa Fe, when viewed from the front. But now the new generation Santa Fe has already begun to run on Russian streets - although this did not add originality to Tucson: as it turned out, the model was both technically and stylistically unified with the Kia Sportage II. However, the cost of Hyundai Tussan on the Russian market does not differ significantly from Sportage - this attracts many motorists.

There are two engines for the Hyundai Tussan car: an in-line two-liter 16-valve with a capacity of 142 liters. with. and a 2.7-liter V6 with 175 hp. with. The first can be aggregated both with a manual five-speed gearbox and with a four-band "automatic" H-Matic. Whereas the V6 comes only with an automatic transmission.

In the basic configuration (which already has a lot of "useful things"), the Hyundai Tucson in 2007 is offered at a price of $ 27,990 (two-liter version with a manual transmission). For an automatic transmission, dealers will ask for an additional $ 1400. And at $ 30,990, a version with a leather interior is estimated. Prices for the 2.7-liter versions of the Hyundai Tucson start at $ 32,690, while the most sophisticated Hyundai Tucson is priced at $ 34,290.

In fact, the Hyundai Tucson is a "simplified Santa Fe of the previous generation" (by perception), but at a slightly lower price - why not?
As for the main consumer qualities, they are also at the level of Hyundai Tucson. At least: comfort, good driving performance on asphalt and decent cross-country ability on a dirt road, this car will definitely provide its owner. Although, of course, the "second Santa Fe" is a more advanced car, but it is also more expensive than even the most sophisticated Tucson.

The first generation Hyundai Tucson (in-plant serial index JM) was built on the 2nd generation Avante XXD platform. It is based on the same platform. The main technical characteristics for Hyundai Tucson are McPherson front spring struts with anti-roll bar and rear spring double wishbones with anti-roll bars. Braking performance Hyundai Tucson is provided by front 15-inch ventilated disc brakes, rear brakes with a diameter of 284 mm and drum parking brake.

Mass and dimension characteristics of Hyundai Tucson:

Wheelbase 2630 mm;

Body length 4325 mm;

Width 1795 mm;

Ground clearance height 195 mm;

Vehicle height 1730 mm;

Weight (depending on the engine) 1630-1690 kg.

There are three engines in the power line.

Gasoline with a volume of 2.0 liters (1975 cm3), 142 hp. In the Hyundai Tucson equipped with such an engine, the technical characteristics allow it to accelerate to 100 km / h in 10.4 seconds in the front-wheel drive version with a manual gearbox, in 11.3 seconds in the all-wheel drive version with a similar transmission. The same engine with an all-wheel drive system and an automatic transmission propels the Hyundai Tucson to hundreds of kilometers per hour in 12.7 seconds. The maximum speed is 174 km / h in the all-wheel drive crossover and 180 km / h in the version with the front wire. Average fuel consumption for the Hyundai Tucson in the combined cycle is 8.0 liters per 100 km.

Gasoline with a volume of 2.7 liters (2656 cm3), 175 hp. In the Russian market, the most powerful Hyundai Tucson engine was equipped with an automatic 4-speed gearbox and an all-wheel drive system. Acceleration to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 180 km / h. Average fuel consumption 10.0 liters in mixed mode.

Diesel volume 2.0-liter (1991 cm3), 112 hp. Hyundai Tucson diesel is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Installed on the version with four-wheel drive. Hyundai Tucson accelerates to hundreds of km / h from the start in 13.1 seconds. The maximum speed is 168 km / h. Average fuel consumption of Tucson is 7.1-8.0 liters per 100 km.

In August 2009, the presentation of the second generation Hyundai Tucson IX took place. In the Russian market, the model is sold under the brand name. In the new Tucson, owners have access to options that were absent in the first generation. The car received cardinal changes in appearance, level of comfort, improved technical characteristics of Hyundai Tucson, increased safety and reduced fuel consumption.

The second generation Hyundai Tucson is equipped with two new 2.0-liter engines:

Gasoline family Theta-II, 166 hp. with a fuel consumption of 8.5 liters per 100 km - available for front-wheel drive assembly.

Diesel of the R Euro5 family, with a capacity of 184 hp. with a fuel consumption of 6.5 liters per 100 km - Tucson diesel is installed on versions with front and all-wheel drive.

The old 5-speed manual and the brooding, unhurried 4-speed automatic were replaced with a completely new transmission. The 6-speed automatic gearbox is developed by Hyundai Motor.

Hyundai Tucson's inherent handling characteristics are enhanced by a stability control system, a braking force control system during descent, an assist system when starting from a standstill, an emergency warning system for drivers moving behind, including additional emergency brake lights in case of sudden braking.

More detailed pros and cons of Hyundai Tucson 1.6 and 2.0 with mechanics, automatic, front and all-wheel drive, as well as with a diesel engine and a robot can be found in the stories below.

Owner reviews

It's cold in the cabin in winter. When the temperature on the display is set to 25 or more, in a standing position, the temperature on the instrument panel drops very quickly.

The soundproofing of the wheel arches, especially the rear ones, is very weak. In the rear of the cabin, something constantly clicks, claps, distracts attention from the road.

My height is 187 cm, I feel quite comfortable behind the wheel of the new Hyundai Tussan 3, and surprisingly sitting behind me is also comfortable and not constrained. There is enough space in the cabin for all passengers. The only negative is the small trunk (the stroller has difficulty in getting in), but I think this is a problem with most modern crossovers.

The review is wonderful, in large mirrors everything is clearly visible. The steering wheel turns very easily. The car is controlled obediently and responsively. The work of the suspension as a whole is moderately harsh, but this is good, rolls are not observed and the road holds confidently.

As for the engine and dynamics, the throttle response is enough in the city for the eyes. Consumption of 14 liters and more, depending on how you drive. The box switches smoothly. Noise isolation for a solid four, a little rumble is heard from the front arches.

Now about the cons. I still can't figure out if a 1,700,000 car doesn't deserve to have at least one electric driver's seat !? (Travel package). Guys, there are "twists" there, like a nine! Not even leverage. I'm not nitpicking, it's just that this money could have been saved on something else.

The handling of the new Tussana is at its best! The steering wheel is very precise, the car is obedient. The noise is good, the cabin is quiet, there are no crickets at all! The landing is comfortable, the steering wheel is adjustable in height and reach, which is very convenient. The driver's seat has an electric lumbar arch adjustment.

The seat back tilt adjustment device strained - an ordinary twist. We could have just made a lever. But I was pleased with the spare full-size wheel on a titanium disc. The torpedo is also pleasing to the eye. Everything in its place and within easy reach. The dashboard is cute. The menu is in Russian, everything is simple and clear + many options.

It is very pleasant when the manufacturer pays attention to the little things, such as hooks for clothes, setting door locking and unlocking, delay of turning off the headlights, etc.

Of course, there is also a negative. Firstly, I was surprised that the ignition key can be pulled out at any position of the automatic transmission lever. I was the first Korean, before that there were only Japanese, and on the Japanese, the ignition key could be pulled out only when the automatic transmission lever was in the "P" position.

Secondly, the suspension travel is short, I think that it can affect the cross-country ability of the car in winter.

I like the dynamics of the car, the appearance is just super, especially the design and light of the side lights in combination with a massive radiator grille. The salon is spacious. It is comfortable to sit both for the driver and for all passengers. The backrests of the rear row of seats are adjustable in tilt. The trunk is roomy, there is a pull-out shelf, side niches.

Video review

I really like the design of the car. For convenience - the seats are really more comfortable than they were in the predecessor, the lateral support is increased. But after ay40 there are not enough electric seat adjustments. Moreover, we are changing with my wife.

In terms of ergonomics, everything is also quite convenient. The frontal pillars have become narrower, so they do not interfere with the view. In terms of sound insulation, the machine became quieter than the ix35.

We took a Hyundai Tucson 3 with four-wheel drive. In normal mode, like most others, it is front-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive works either by itself, or you can turn it on forcibly with a button. Then it works up to 40 km / h, then it turns off, when the speed decreases, it turns on again. Checked a little on the snow on summer tires - rides).

On the suspension - the machine is knocked down and not too roll, not too stiff - that's it. We drove on a dead road, the cabin is quiet, there are no crickets. Another plus of the car - it is not going to be with us (cars come from Poland).

Where can I buy?

Having passed 40,000 thousand, I only changed oils and filters according to the regulations and maintenance, no problems were observed, only ONE - in frost (or after washing in the cold) the driver's door sensor stops working, that is, it is actually closed, but it shows on the monitor that No! I stopped by the dealer twice, but he didn’t say anything to me, and he won’t say anything like that.

In terms of fuel consumption in the city - 12.0 liters, on the highway it shows 7.9 liters, but this is a lie - 10 liters will be for sure!

Someone writes that there is not enough when overtaking on the track. It depends on what to compare with. If with Gelenvagen 5.5, then yes, if with Corolla or Patriot, then it's enough for the eyes, I'm not really worried about this.

Review for Hyundai Tussan 2.0 (150 hp) with automatic and all-wheel drive

The power is enough for the eyes, and the pickup even at 120 km / h is more than worthy. The suspension is clearly softer, which is not surprising, because my previous car was frame (Pajero Sport).

Doesn't feel the rut at all (up to 150 km / h), but at a higher speed you have to take the steering wheel in two hands. Average Consumption per 1,000 km was 7.8 liters, given that I have never saved, but always drove for pleasure, the result was impressive.

The configuration is pre-maximum Travel, since, unfortunately, the maximum speed is not available for a diesel engine. Heated steering wheel pleases very much, it is insanely pleasant to operate in cold weather. It warms up quickly, hot air immediately begins to flow from the air ducts.

Two-lens xnenon headlights, not only do they look gorgeous, but they also shine better than the halogen on the Pajero. Headlights illuminate bends. The function is cool, but not very useful, but everyone really likes it.

Of the minuses, I would like to note the small trunk. I miss him at all, after Pajero. The tailgate is very inconvenient to close in dirty weather. It is not convenient to grip from the inside, there is not enough electric drive (available in the maximum speed). There is also not enough heating of the wiper and nozzle zone. And I don't like the stock multimedia at all, so I decided to replace it, put another GU with a 10.0-inch screen on Android. I'm happy so far.

Review of Hyundai Tucson 2.0 diesel with automatic transmission 2016

I bought a car in February 2017. Before that it was - i40. In general, the car is super! During operation, the consumption decreased from 12 to 7.4 liters (the readings have not been reset since the purchase). On our roads, unlike a sedan, you can safely drive without fear of pits (within reasonable limits, of course).

To be honest, I bought a car with a robot with a high degree of uncertainty due to critical reviews of VAG cars with similar gearboxes, but now I like driving this car more and more.

Of the advantages, I immediately want to note the exterior (you involuntarily notice that it attracts the eye both from pedestrians and from oncoming carriers), as well as handling and a good interior.

Excellent low beam headlights. Electronics and automatics work well, although during rain it happens that the wipers switch sensor does not work on time.

After the i40, the dashboard seemed rustic, but I found a plus in this - the information is easier to read. The main beam is weak. Mechanical adjustment of the front seats and an inconvenient position of the wheel for adjusting the backrest.
