Tucson

The appearance of Tucson is relatively fashionable and powerful. It looks relatively wide, with a length of 4325 mm, a width of 1795 mm, a height of 1680 mm, and a wheelbase of 2630 mm. It is the same as Dongfeng Honda. Compared with CR-V, it is 10mm wider and 20mm higher, but this advantage is not reflected in the internal space. Although the knee and elbow room are relatively spacious, the head only feels slightly depressed. For a 175cm person sitting in When you sit in the driver's seat, you feel like your head is touching the roof of the car. This may be because the seat cushion is too thick. Although the thick seat cushion is more comfortable to ride, it comes at the expense of head space.

Thick seat cushions

The Tucson adopts a modern and popular light-toned interior design. The metallic center console is different from the style of the Elantra and Sonata, and is simple and neat. There are embedded 6-disc CDs, fm/am and cassettes on the center console, automatic constant temperature air conditioning (the air conditioning is digital, and the air conditioning of Hyundai's original Tucson is fine-tuned), etc. The automatic constant temperature air conditioner is digital, while the original Hyundai Tucson's air conditioner is fine-tuned. This is a small improvement. It has simultaneous air conditioning with interior and exterior temperature indicators, which is relatively more practical for users in southern regions. Leather steering wheel, the steering wheel can be adjusted in two directions, and the steering wheel can be lowered and adjusted to the appropriate position according to your height.

There are 7 speakers in the whole car. In addition to the four in front and two and six in the rear on the front and rear doors, there is also a bass unit under the passenger seat. However, the sound effect of the 7 speakers in the car is not very satisfactory for music enthusiasts, because when the volume is turned up, certain parts of the car will vibrate and produce some noise.

The Tucson 2.7 all uses leather seats. The seats can be manually adjusted in 6 directions. The front seats have electric heating function. All seats are drilled and breathable for better ventilation in summer. However, the seats are short and the leather covering is average. The driver's body tends to slide during intense movements. The seat adjustment is actually manual, which is a bit inconsistent with the Tucson's price of 235,800.

Although the Tucson has a relatively large appearance, the front A-pillar is relatively thick. I don’t know whether it is for safety reasons or other reasons. The too-wide A-pillar may affect the driver’s field of vision. The Tucson's reversing mirror has an anti-dazzle function and is electrically adjustable via a button on the reversing mirror. The anti-glare interior rearview mirror is equipped with an electronic direction indication function, which can display the direction at any time, allowing the car owner to accurately ensure the driving direction even in the wild.

The trunk can be opened in two levels. When the space behind the car is not enough to open the luggage compartment door, items can be easily put in or taken out by opening the rear window. This design also takes care of the small strength of the vehicle. of female car owners.

If the passenger seat back is folded forward and the rear seats are folded flat, items over 2m can be accommodated.

Tucson will be equipped with two power sources - a 2.0-liter cvvt engine and a 2.7l v6 engine. The cvvt engine refers to the "continuously variable valve timing system". The application of this system allows the cvvt engine valve to control the opening and closing of the valve at any time according to the engine status, making the engine power output more powerful and fuel efficient while saving fuel. Burn more fully. The highest version of Tucson will use a modern 2.7l V6 gasoline engine with a maximum output of 175 horsepower. The Tucson 2.7's constant-speed fuel consumption for 90 kilometers is 10l/100km, which is much higher than the Dongfeng Honda CR-V's 7.4. Among SUVs with the same displacement, there are few SUVs with better fuel consumption than the Tucson.

But the speed of SUVs and cars is still not comparable. Although the Tucson's V6 engine is powerful, with a maximum power of 175 horsepower, its maximum speed can only reach 4,500 rpm. Even if the accelerator is stepped to the end, it cannot exceed a speed of 180 kilometers per hour.

The Tucson uses a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear double-link independent suspension. It is said that the Tucson's chassis is based on the same platform as the Elantra. Therefore, the Tucson's chassis has the most prominent characteristics of urban SUVs. The chassis is soft and the ride is comfortable.

The minimum clearance of 195 mm has a certain degree of passability, but it is still slightly inferior to the 203.2 of the Escape 3.0 and the 205 of the CR-V, so it is more suitable for driving on urban roads.

It is worth mentioning the noise reduction effect of Tucson. To avoid tire noise, six-layer special sound-insulating pads filled with transverse and longitudinal fillers were added to the inside of the wheel wells and the chassis; to avoid engine noise, special-material sound-insulating materials were also added between the engine compartment and cockpit dashboard, and Sound insulation panels have been installed at most of the column connections. In addition, Tucson also uses a larger fan in the cooling system to reduce fan noise.

The Tucson’s safety is pretty good. Front and rear disc brakes with abs, ebd, bas, full-tcs, as well as dual front airbags, side airbags, side air curtains on the a, b, and c pillars, and a total of 6 airbag curtains. It can be said to be fully armed, but for an SUV that is not designed to pursue high-speed driving, 6 airbags seem a bit wasteful.

Tucson's 4wd is an intelligent real-time four-wheel drive, which uses different driving methods on different road surfaces and automatically switches to four-wheel drive after sensing road conditions in the wild. If the driver thinks that four-wheel drive should be enabled in the two-wheel drive state, he can directly use the 4wdlock button on the operation panel to switch. The drive lock sensor starts working at a vehicle speed of 30km/h. When the vehicle speed reaches 40km/h, the drive management system automatically switches to two-wheel drive. drive. Lasts for a long time
