Hyundai has confirmed its Tuscson will be priced from £18,695 when it goes on sale in September.
The vehicle is powered by three engines – a 1.6-litre petrol which is offered in 132hp and 177hp formats, a 1.7-litre 116hp diesel and a 2.0-litre diesel with either 136hp or 185hp.
The most frugal models in the range are powered by the 1.7-litre diesel and emit 119g/km of CO2. Prices start from £20,195 for the model in the S trim level.
Five trim levels – S, SE, SE Nav, Premium and Premium SE – are offered. Standard equipment includes DAB radio with MP3 connectivity, Bluetooth, USB and Aux connections and automatic headlights with dusk sensors.
SE-line models add 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, a lane keeping assist feature and dual zone climate control, while SE Nav models get an eight-inch touchscreen and the firm’s Speed Limit Information System, which uses the car’s front camera and information from the navigation unit to identify road signs and display the speed limit in real time.
Premium models include 19-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, parking sensors, an autonomous emergency braking system, blind spot detection and heated rear seats, while the range-topping Premium SE model features keyless entry, Hyundai’s Smart Parking Assist System, an electric tailgate, LED headlights and a panoramic sunroof.
“The outgoing model, the ix35, is our second best-seller in the UK so far this year which just proves how critical this sector is for our brand – the Tucson will look to develop this success, thanks to its striking design and the enhanced level of technology and equipment it offers our customers,” said Tony Whitehorn, president of Hyundai UK.
