One of the latest models of the Korean automotive manufacturer, Hyundai TucsonIt is ready for the roads of Turkey with its hybrid engine and 230 horsepower.
Hyundai TUCSON was first introduced in 2004 and reached its fourth generation in 2021. TUCSON, the best-selling SUV model of the brand with more than 8 million sales since 18 years of its introduction, is one of the most popular and demanded SUVs in our country. TUCSON, a rare model in its segment that offers plug-in hybrid, hybrid and diesel 48-volt mild hybrids apart from gasoline and diesel engines, is entering electrification in Turkey with its gasoline hybrid version.
TUCSON, the first Hyundai SUV model designed according to the “Sensuous Sportiness” design identity, offers perfect lighting and exterior appearance even in the dark with its parametric hidden headlights and daytime LED headlights. The headlights, which make a strong first impression, are placed in the grille of the vehicle. When the headlights are turned off, the front of the vehicle turns completely black and dark. Thanks to the state-of-the-art half-mirror lighting technology, when the DRLs are turned on, the grill’s dark chrome appearance transforms into jewel-like shapes, turning into an eye-catching one. TUCSON’s sophisticated and spacious interior resembles the room of a neatly organized home. Continuously flowing from the center fascia to the rear doors, twin silver-coloured lines are combined with premium plastic and leather trims.

What does the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid offer under the hood?
The gasoline 1.6 liter T-GDI engine features the world’s first Continuously Variable Valve Time (CVVD) technology. While CVVD optimizes engine performance and fuel efficiency, it also means an environmentally friendly system. The system, which can change the valve opening time, increases performance by 4 percent and fuel efficiency by 5 percent, while reducing emissions by 12 percent.
Developed for more performance and less emissions, the 1.6-liter turbo engine produces 180 horsepower alone and, combined with the 44 kW electric motor, reaches 230 horsepower in total. TUCSON hybrid, which transfers this performance power to the ground with the HTRAC all-wheel drive system, prefers the 6-speed fully automatic type as the transmission.
The recommended selling price of the car, which has useful features, stylish and sporty design and hybrid technology, is 1,210,000 TL.
