2022 Hyundai Tucson: A Closer Look

Now that the two trims have been officially announced, let’s take a closer look at what they have to offer. The Platinum being the base model offers two 10.25-inch screens – one infotainment touchscreen, and the other a fully digital instrument cluster. On top of that, the Hyundai Tucson Platinum comes with a surround-view monitor, blind view monitor, 8-speaker Bose surround sound system, black and light grey dual tone interiors, 6 airbags, hill-start assist, electronic stability control, vehicle stable management, and connected car tech.

The Signature is the higher-end model that gets all the features of the Platinum model and some more. Perhaps the most important feature of the Signature trim is the much-talked-about SmartSense ADAS system. On top of that, the Hyundai Tucson Signature gets an 8-way powered co-driver seat, hands-free powered tailgate, driver power seat memory function, and multi-terrain drive modes.

Under the hood, the new Hyundai Tucson will be offered in 2.0-litre petrol and diesel options. The petrol engine comes mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox and generates a maximum power of 156hp and 192Nm torque. The 2.0-litre diesel engine comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox and generates a maximum power of 186hp and 416Nm torque.
