Wait a second, just hear me out. You might be questioning a review on a Hyundai, much less the unattractive and porky SUV known as the Tucson. But you're only thinking that because you haven't seen the new model, and boy will you be surprised.Completely redesigned for 2010, the new Tucson ditches rugged to hook up with style. And since it's designed by Germans, it better be stylish!
Not only does it leap and bound beyond it's older self in terms of looks, but everything is better. It's base 4 cylinder engine puts out more horsepower than the previous top-of-the-line V6, at 178 hp. It's fuel economy trumps the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Chevy Equinox, three brands known for their great fuel economy in recent history. When mated with the all-new 6 speed transmission, the Tucson acheives 23/31 city/highway mileage.
The Hyundai Tucson is faster, lighter, and more fuel efficient than anything in its class....and did I mention it's the best value? Load one up for less than $23,000, slap on that standard 100,000 mile warranty, and you've got the best deal on wheels since the original Volkswagen Beetle.
You can bet your bottom that the new Tucson is high on my list for my first SUV.
Thanks for reading.
