For the 2010MY, a revolutionary new 2010 Tucson joins the rapidly evolving Hyundai product line. The sleek crossover vehicle from Hyundai, with it’s athletic European design, strikes a stark contrast from its predecessor and greatly improves in every functional area, from its roomier cabin with more cargo space to its leap in fuel efficiency and technology. Tucson features the company’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design language and is the first vehicle in Hyundai’s 24/7 version 2.0 product initiative (seven all-new models in the next 24 months).
The all-new Tucson is the first Hyundai CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) to be designed and engineered in Europe at Hyundai’s Frankfurt-based design and technical center. It features the eco-efficient Theta II 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivering up to 31 mpg on the highway. The Theta II 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivers about the same amount of power and acceleration as its predecessor’s V6 engine, with 20 percent better fuel economy than the old four-cylinder Tucson. In fact, the Tucson is more fuel-efficient than Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape four-cylinders, boasting an impressive estimated 23 mpg city/31 mpg highway fuel economy rating with the available six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. With AWD ( All Wheel Drive ), Tucson delivers an estimated 21 mpg city/28 mpg highway, exceeding the primary competitors’ AWD versions, including Subaru Forester.
