VIDEO | Hyundai Tucson 2024: we test its new update

From the moment it appeared on the scene, the latest generation of Hyundai Tucson It established itself as one of the most successful models among individuals in our country. Now him Hyundai Tucson 2024 It is updated with a new face and a more sophisticated interior to continue occupying the highest sales positions.

They say that what works should be touched rather little, and they have stuck to that in Hyundai with this renewal. As we say, the improvements are light and subtle, but enough to know that we are facing a more modern, technological and attractive Tucson.

The most protagonist of facelift aesthetic lies in the grill, which goes from having five to having four daytime running light modules led. The rest of the Parametric Pixels, as the brand calls those geometric shapes that make up the grille, also adopt a renewed and more powerful image.

In addition, the bumpers and 17- to 19-inch wheels have a new design. The rear wiper blade, which is still camouflaged under the spoiler, grows by 75 mm to clean a larger area of ​​the rear window and six new body colors are added (including the orange of the unit you see in the photo gallery) to reach a total of 11.

Optimized technology and a steering wheel inherited from the Ioniq

Inside the changes are more noticeable. The dashboard incorporates a dual screen configuration united in a single element, 12,3 inches each, for the instrumentation and the infotainment system with integrated navigation and all types of connectivity. A 12-inch Head-Up Display can be added to them.

However, the first thing that those most accustomed to seeing a fourth-generation Tucson will notice will be the new three spoke steering wheel. There is no longer any trace of the Korean firm's logo; Instead, the central part inherits the four points and the oval that covers them exactly the same as we see in the 5% electric Ioniq 6 and 100 and in the new Kona.

That said, the space remains unchanged: four adults of average size - even medium-large - will travel with a high degree of comfort. Yes indeed, The versions with automatic transmission integrate a new selector located at the bottom right of the steering column and leaving a modular center console quite similar to that of the Ioniq 5.

The trunk capacities They range from 546 liters of the diesel microhybrids to 620 liters of the C-label gasoline ones.

The Hyundai Tucson engines remain (almost) unchanged

Hyundai Tucson 2024 range

Opening the catalog there is a 160 hp gasoline that replaces the previous 140 and that may or may not have microhybridization (therefore, it may or may not have an Eco label.) In turn, the microhybrid can be manual or automatic and 4×2 or 4×4.

Above is the 115 HP diesel without electrification and another microhybrid diesel that claims 136 hp, which can be manual or automatic and the latter can be 4×2 or 4×4. Without a doubt, in terms of price/consumption ratio, it is the option that we would recommend: its performance is more than enough, the Eco label opens all the necessary doors for you in the city and it is the version with the least fuel consumption approved (the least equipped promises 5,1. 100 l/6 km, although without being very careful with the accelerator you can easily be around XNUMX l.)

Hyundai Tucson 2024 label 0 Emissions

We also still have the conventional hybrid (which can be associated with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive) and the plug-in with label 0 Emissions which will always be 4×4. Of course, these two slightly reduce their power due to a new regulation of measures in Europe. They now produce 215 and 253 hp, respectively.

The Tucson PHEV battery It does not change: it is the same 13,8 kWh capacity and provides a range in electric mode of about 60 km, accepting a maximum charging power of 7,2 kW.

During the press presentation we were able to drive the version that, as I said, from my point of view, is the best of the entire range in terms of price, consumption and functionality. We refer to the Tucson diesel with 48 volt mains in front-wheel drive and, in addition, a six-speed manual transmission.

The change will depend on taste. Personally, I was more captivated by choosing a manual one because I like the feel of this particular change (it has correct travel and a fairly nice knob) and because I'm not convinced by the new automatic transmission selector located on the steering column. Furthermore, with the manual option you can save a good handful of euros, although the truth is that during mostly urban use it is more appreciated to save the game with the clutch.

Diesel and Eco label, a perfect combo

The response of 1.6 four-cylinder turbodiesel It is good in all situations (in fact, when we are not facing a very steep slope, it seems to have some horsepower more than advertised.)

Even so, when facing an overtake it is advisable to be clear and reduce a gear to increase the rotation speed, because as soon as we go with one or two companions and some luggage we approach 2 tons, and there its 136 HP and 320 Nm of torque cannot work miracles.

In the city, although It is not a self-charging hybrid, the 0,44 kWh battery and the small 16 HP motor will help keep consumption still far from double figures.

As for the chassis, there are no notable improvements. Depending on customer demand and versions, a suspension with electronic management which is very soft on the road and increases its firmness when activating the Sport mode. This is followed by direction with good touch, quite direct and that shines for its balance. In general, the Tucson is a car that will always stand out more for its ride comfort.
