Test Hyundai Tucson 2019 2.0 CRDi 48v 186 CV 4 × 4 AT Style

Hyundai Tucson Side

El Hyundai Tucson, Formerly known as ix35, is renewed inside and out with new engines, equipments y aesthetic touch-ups. An SUV that we have had the opportunity to test with one of its most interesting updates: the Diesel engine 186 hp with microhybrid system.

During the route we have seen first hand how this car behaves with Four-wheel drive y 8-speed automatic gearbox. The only configuration available for this engine, which receives a small 16 hp electric help. How does he do it? Well, with a 48v system, similar to that of Volkswagen or Mercedes, which applies that extra power to save fuel.

A more angular and modern touch

Hyundai Tucson front

The exterior design of the Hyundai Tucson has changed slightly. Being just a makeover, and not a new generation, the changes are almost exclusively in the "soft" parts of the body. That is, the non-metallic ones. Grill now it has the sides curved inwards and headlights They have a more modern interior with LED lights.

The front bumper has also been slightly retouched, especially in the area around the fog lights. At the rear there are also some modifications such as the new pilots, bumper and a new exhaust outlet with a more pyramidal symmetrical shape. The changes inside Hyundai Tucson they are very light. The only thing that is obvious is that the multimedia screen is floating type instead of being inserted into the dashboard.

With a little help from electricity

Hyundai Tucson Rear

The full name of the diesel we have tested is 2.0 CRDi 48v 186 hp and its behavior with the automatic transmission has been very satisfactory. While is true that its power is somewhat diluted Due to its almost 1.800 kg and its 4×4 traction, it is capable of move freely in any circumstance (steep slopes included). Something that helps the automatic change by torque converter with 8 gears.

La power delivery of the engine is soft and there is no typical jerky kick when it hits its optimum rev range. Which in your case is from 1.750 rpm to 2.750 rpm. For this reason it is not as elastic as the Volkswagen Tiguan, but keeps a push high enough when revving up, so as not to require continuous gear changes. In this section it is above other cars such as the Mazda CX-5 or Peugeot 3008.

Saving a microhybrid

As to best before date, the Hyundai Tucson has remained at very good levels for a car of this size and weight. On the motorway we have registered a consumption of 6,9 liters circulating at 120 km/h and with few changes of rhythm. On highways of 90 km/h we have achieved a consumption of 5,6 liters in the sections in which a constant speed could be maintained. Y in town this data has risen to 10,7 liters with frequent stops and changes of pace, but without abusing the accelerator. A good value for its segment, to which the 16 CV of its 48v micro hybridization system.

Like other cars with a similar system, such as the Suzuki Swift, it is not noticeable when the extra power enters. It actually acts to maintain speed, to allow the diesel engine to work less and under heavy acceleration. Always as an extra power to reduce consumption. This way of working already allows since February 2019 the advantages of a hybrid, such as tax reductions or the eco sticker.

C or ECHO Sticker

There was a period of uncertainty regarding the environmental label that this type of car with microhybridization would have. However, it has finally been resolved with an ECO sticker despite not being able to move the car on its own with electricity.

Other Tucson Engines

As for the rest of the engines, the Hyundai Tucson can be purchased with the new 1.6 liter CRDI diesel engine with 116 hp or 136 hp, which replaces the old 1.7, and others two 1.6 liter gasoline. The first is the atmospheric GDI with 131 hp and the second is the turbocharged TGDI with 177 hp. All of them designed to exceed the Euro 6c emission regulations. You can choose between front wheel drive or 4×4 (which comes with hill descent control) and between the 6-speed manual or automatic transmission dual clutch with 7 speeds.

Comfortable and pleasant to drive

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson is a car designed for ride comfort, so it's not particularly agile. In any case, the setting of its suspension allows it to circulate between curves without accusing excessive rocking of the bodywork.

It is pleasant to drive thanks to the fact that it is well insulated from aerodynamic and rolling noise. To which it contributes that the suspension filters well the small potholes and smoothly faces the typical speed bumps of residential areas. Although this last aspect is more pleasant for the occupants of the front seats, since the rear suspension absorbs the unevenness somewhat worse.

Outstanding interior space

Another aspect that helps make the Hyundai Tucson a comfortable car is its habitability. On the outside it measures 4,48 cm long, 1,85 cm wide and 1,65 cm high. some dimensions well used inside, since both the front and rear seats can carry people up to 1,91 cm tall without space problems. As usual in cars of this category, the central square is somewhat narrower, but if the occupants of the rear bench are medium-sized, three people can travel with some comfort.

El trunk has 488 liters capacity, but this figure drops to 459 liters in the version we have tested, having to use part of the space for the 0,46 kWh batteries. This version cannot carry a spare wheel either, which becomes a basic anti-puncture kit.

Well equipped from the basic versions

Of the equipment added to the new Hyundai Tucson, the system especially stands out. Smart Sense and a driving aid package including automatic high beam on/off, adaptive cruise control mindful of speed limit signs, automatic emergency braking, involuntary lane change assistant and 360º vision cameras.

The multimedia system has a new 7 or 8 inch floating screen depending on the finish chosen and allows connectivity with Android Auto and CarPlay. If, despite this, you want your own car's navigator, you have to opt for the 8-inch system. You can opt for a wireless charger that goes in front of the gear stick, although the Tucson has USB connections for the front and rear seats. Below we detail all the equipment included in each of the finishes: Essence, Klass, Tecno and Style.

    I think the issue of environmental labels is not well explained. vehicles prior to February 2019 do not have the ECO label but, due to a modification, those after this date do.
    In May I purchased a TUCSON FL 2.0 CDRI STYLE that I will receive in September because it has to be manufactured and will have the ECO label, one of the main reasons why I chose this vehicle apart from the ratings obtained within the motor world .

      Thank you Ignatius. This article was published in October 2018, a time of uncertainty that left these cars without an ECO label. It is already updated according to the current situation.
