Grilles test: Hyundai Tucson 1.7 CRDi HP 7DCT Impression Edition
Among the models indicated in the price list, you will not find two whole engine versions. To find them, you have to dig into the list of accessories. The HP symbol in the title means a surcharge. With the 1,7-liter diesel engine, power increases from 115 to 141 "horsepower", which makes this engine also more powerful than the 5-liter turbodiesel, which is capable of 1,7 "horsepower" less. But at the very top, there is no such Tucson: because with a 1,6-liter diesel engine (regardless of version), it is impossible to imagine four-wheel drive (it is reserved only for the two-liter diesel and the 184-liter diesel). liter turbo petrol), and therefore because it also has a two-liter diesel version with the HP label that can produce up to XNUMX "horsepower".
The latter can also be seen in conjunction with a classic six-speed automatic transmission, while with a smaller diesel engine, you can pay extra for a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. And that's exactly the gist of this car and a shortcut to look for in the price list to find a more powerful version of the smaller turbo diesel. Namely, they are connected: you pay extra for each other, it is impossible to separate them.
Hyundai's manual transmissions in crossovers and SUVs have never been a paragon of precision and smoothness. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with them, just the feeling that they are less refined, more ... hmm ... dated compared to the rest of the car? In short, they are the least friendly part of the car.
The Dual Clutch DCT, as Hyundai calls it, changes the character of the car. It becomes more comfortable and refined. The extra power also translates into slightly more mileage on paper, but in practice the increase turns out to be minimal and definitely worth the comfort of a two-speed automatic—on the highway, a more powerful engine is more economical than a weaker one. version. And since the gearbox shifts smoothly and almost imperceptibly, the overall impression is very positive.
Otherwise, the Tucson is the same as we are used to: richly equipped, with a characteristic dashboard and gauge touches. The latter may have a more modern look, and the infotainment system works well, with the exception of TomTom navigation, which (and not only in Hyundai) is not exactly a good example of such a system. With the Tucson test in addition to the first-class Impression equipment package, the optional Edition package, the list of built-in safety accessories is almost complete (for this class of car) - from automatic pedestrian detection to automatic parking.
This Tucson is further proof of how far Hyundai has already come, both in terms of accessories and propulsion technology.

The cost of the test car shouldn't scare you. Before marking a Tucson as too expensive, deselect the competition configurators and rebuild them with similar equipment.
