2017 Hyundai TUCSON

The Tucson lineup continues to improve its offering to consumers for the 2017 model year. The improvements span everything from interior detail and material enhancements to premium audio, infotainment and connectivity.

Tucson continues to offer a pair of fuel efficient drivetrains and a stylish, roomy interior. A host of advanced safety features are available including a Lane Departure Warning system, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Backup Warning Sensors and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB).

Tucson employs refined aesthetics with sculpted body forms and sporty contours for an athletic, bold and striking appearance. The front is dominated by a hexagonal-shaped grille enhanced by available high-efficiency LED twin-projector headlights.

On the inside, a premium, wrapped instrument panel is offered, with extra-wide instrument panel contours to enhance occupants' overall sense of interior roominess. All interior switchgear has a more refined feel during operation.

Tucson base models offer the 2.0-liter, direct-injected four-cylinder with 164 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission.

2017 Tucson Eco, Sport and Limited models offer the 1.6-liter turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder with 175 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. Peak torque delivery starts at only 1,500 rpm and holds through 4,500 rpm, for low-RPM responsiveness and performance in everyday driving conditions. The turbo engine is coupled to a first-in-segment seven-speed EcoShift dual-clutch transmission.

Tucson offers an advanced AWD system that allows a differentiated torque split between front and rear wheels, for off-road and extremely slippery road conditions. The system also includes Active Cornering Control, which automatically transfers torque to the wheels with the most traction.
