This 2021 Hyundai Tucson Luxury AWD combines versatility, premium comfort, and modern technology in a sporty compact SUV. Its exterior is enhanced by 18-inch alloy wheels, a chrome front grille, roof rails, rear privacy glass, mirror-mounted LED turn signals, a dual exhaust with chrome tips, and a panoramic sunroof that fills the cabin with natural light.
Under the hood is a 2.4-litre direct-injection four-cylinder engine producing 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed SHIFTRONIC automatic transmission. The HTRAC all-wheel-drive system automatically distributes power according to road conditions, providing stable and confident handling throughout the year. Drive Mode Select also lets the driver adjust the vehicle’s driving characteristics to suit different situations and preferences.
Inside, the Tucson Luxury features leather seating surfaces, a leather-wrapped instrument panel, soft-touch door panels, and premium door-sill plates. The driver receives an eight-way power-adjustable seat with two-way lumbar support, while heated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel provide excellent cold-weather comfort. Dual-zone automatic climate control with automatic defogging allows the driver and front passenger to select their preferred temperatures.
Everyday convenience is improved by proximity keyless entry with push-button start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with an integrated HomeLink garage-door opener, a second-row USB outlet, and a Smart Power Liftgate that makes loading the cargo area easier when your hands are full. The split-folding 60/40 rear seats can be lowered to provide up to 1,754 litres of cargo space.
Entertainment and connectivity features include a seven-inch colour touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth with voice recognition, SiriusXM, USB and auxiliary connections, and steering-wheel-mounted audio and telephone controls. The connected Bluelink system also provides access to selected remote vehicle functions through a compatible smartphone.
Safety technology includes a Surround View Monitor, a rearview camera, blind-spot collision warning with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic collision warning, forward collision-avoidance assist, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist. It also includes an electronic parking brake, electronic stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, anti-lock braking, and six airbags.
