Enhanced Exterior and Transformed Interior
The New Tucson continues the theme of ‘Parametric Dynamics,’ elevating its appearance to a more rugged and expansive stance. The front fascia, characterized by angular lines and the parametric jewel hidden lamps, exudes a strong impression, while the rear bumper molding and unified skid plate contribute to a wider appearance.
Inside, the panoramic curved display and floating console, emphasizing horizontality, offer ample space and practicality, reaching a new level of sophistication. The integration of a 12.3-inch cluster and infotainment system provides a luxurious feel, powered by the next-gen ‘ccNC’ infotainment system, offering wireless software updates and BlueLink streaming services.
Enhanced Driving Sensations and Reinforced Safety
The New Tucson enhances the driving experience through advanced driving technologies such as Auto Terrain Mode, improving driving stability during high-speed winds, and adopting noise reduction measures for a serene driving experience.
For the hybrid model, the ‘E-Motion Drive’ system, utilizing the drive motor, elevates both driving performance and passenger comfort.
