Hyundai Tucson - SUV looks with hatchback
running costs
(29/07/2008)
|
If you don’t fancy a 4x4, then how
about a 2xTucson? Hyundai has revised the Tucson line up for 2009,
including an all-new two-wheel drive model priced at a level that would
normally only buy you a compact family hatchback.
Starting at just £14,695, including
Hyundai’s standard five-year unlimited mileage warranty, the new line-up
puts SUV style within the reach of customers who would normally be
shopping for something far less practical and stylish. Yet despite the
affordable price tag, there’s no skimping on equipment.
The entry-level 2.0 Comfort model comes
with an impressive level of standard kit, including air conditioning,
auxiliary and USB audio connections, privacy glass, body-coloured
bumpers and trim, electric windows all-round, front fog lights, roof
rails, dual front and side airbags and smart 16-inch alloy wheels.
Powered by a 139bhp 2.0-litre petrol
engine, it offers an affordable combined fuel economy figure of 35.3mpg.
Coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox, it accelerates from 0-60mph in
10.4 seconds, with a top speed of 112mph.
For those who favour diesel power, the
two-wheel drive layout is also available with a 148bhp CRDi engine, with
a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions.
Combined fuel economy is 40.4mpg, with CO2 emissions of
184g/km.
The manual model is also offered in
‘Style’ trim at £16,695, and adds even more standard equipment,
including climate control, a trip computer, leather steering wheel and
gearknob, cruise control, heated seats and door mirrors, reverse parking
sensors, a self-dimming rear view mirror and metal grain dashboard trim.
Four-wheel drive Tucsons also remain
available.
