Stylish compact crossover comes very well-armed to fight for its turf
Hyundai'sstylish compact crossover is smack dab in the middle of a turf war for its market share. Its category offers some of the most useful vehicles,loaded with creature comforts, that can easily fit into tight urban parking spots and deliver good fuel mileage.While using compact fluorescent light bulbs energy saving light helps conserve energy, it is important that the bulbs are collected and recycled properly to protect our environmentCompact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs.
Looking at the Tucson and its competitors,there'snot a lame one in the bunch, so it comes down to personal preferences. It's about style, and the Tucson has plenty of that. The bronze beauty we had for the week was the top-of-theline Tucson Limited AWD with Navigation or Tucson LNV for short.
DESIGN:
I really liked the freshened exterior design of the 2011 Tucson and learned that its European good looks are due to its styling being done in Frankfurt, Germany. Why it's named after the city of Tucson, Ariz., I have no idea. There is nothing southwestern about it, nor its larger siblings,the Santa Fe or Veracruz.
The Tucson has a pair of very feline inspired headlights that frame the new signature hexagonal grille opening. A pair of projector-type driving/fog lights mimic the headlights and rest outside the larger lower grille. The black under-tray and lower door panels give it a definite off-road attitude, although it's not a hardcore puddlejumper even with the AWD.
The side profile reveals an upswept flow from front to rear and side windows that end in a point with the rising fender line and sloping roof line. The Tucson Limited AWD comes with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels with 225/55R18 tires,but with the high ride height and upwards styling cues,the Tucson looks under-tired. Imagine larger wheel-wells filled with 20 or 22-inch rims!
The rear end is not groundbreaking but completes the CUV styling very cleanly with LED tail lights that mimic the headlights in their shape. A discreet rear spoiler tops off the rear window.
The interiors of Hyundai vehicles have evolved dramatically from un-restrained show-car madness into modern art installations with creative uses of materials and lighting. Facing what Hyundai calls their "X-design dashboard" you'll notice the new steering wheel, leather wrapped and loaded with controls for the radio and cruise control. The gauges behind the wheel are colourful and easy to read in all situations. That can't be said for the 6.5-inch highresolution LCD system at the top of the centre console. The touch screen can get washed out by bright sunlight at certain angles and like all touch screens, fingerprints and smudges are sometimes very noticeable. The display also shows what's behind you with the rear-view camera for added safety when backing up (standard on the Limited with Navigation Package).
The heating and AC controls are thankfully simple as are the stereo controls.
I found the optional leather in the Limited model to be very firm and rather flat but over extended drives they weren't uncomfortable. Just don't expect very soft cushions like most North American vehicles.
The Tucson Limited comes with a very large, two-panel "panoramic" sunroof that brightens up the abundance of black materials used in the cabin.
PERFORMANCE:
The Tucson is aimed at maximum utility with reasonable fuel mileage and comes with a standard 2.0-litre (165 horsepower) or 2.4 L(176 hp) four-cylinder engine. The engines are mated to a five-speed manual transmission (standard on L) or an optional six-speed automatic with Shiftronic semi-manual shifting. Our Limited came with the 2.4 L I4 DOHC with Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing engine and the six-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive is always on duty and locking the differential is as simple as turning a knob on the dash, giving the Tucson up to a 50/50 split of power to the front and rear wheels. The power of the 2.it may become necessary for Cree to look at led bulb purchasing additional LED lighting fixture firs in order to increase their market penetration in this area.4 L engine is politely adequate, but you'll never lose your hat under hard acceleration. A 200 hp rating would transform the Tucson, especially when loaded with passengers and their luggage.
