Getting to Know the Hyundai Tucson

Practical, stylish, and comfortable, the Hyundai Tucson has a lot to offer families in the Lansing, MI area. With its lengthy warranty and impressive predictability rating, this is a vehicle you can feel confident purchasing. It also has the features that you need to keep up in today's world.

Performance

Buying either the SE or Value trim level will mean getting a Tucson powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder engine. It makes 161-horsepower as well as 150 lb-ft of torque. The remaining four trim levels go with a 2.4L four-cylinder engine underneath their hoods. As a result, they make 181-horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. In either case, you will also get a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive is available across the Tucson lineup to help with your travels around Ann Arbor, MI and Flint, MI.

Technology

Standard inside the cabin of the new Tucson is a 7-inch touchscreen that controls the intuitive infotainment system. You can use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay if you would like to connect your compatible smartphone to your SUV. Other standard tech features include multiple USB ports, Bluetooth, and a six-speaker audio system.

Depending on the model you select, there are even more high-tech features available for your Tucson. An 8-inch touchscreen, for example, comes standard on the Ultimate trim. Other available tech features include navigation, wireless device charging, and a premium sound system from Infinity.

Design

The sleek and sporty Tucson is available in a wide range of exterior paint colors, allowing you to find one that fits your look. Examples of available options include Dusk Blue, Gemstone Red, Stellar Silver, and Black Noir Pearl. Select models give you a panoramic sunroof to let in the air and light.

For the entry-level trim, you will find that 17-inch alloy wheels are standard. Other models go with 18-inch or even 19-inch options instead. The Sport trim and up will give you fog lights as well as LED head and taillights. Also found here is a convenient hands-free liftgate.

Safety

One thing that all trim levels have in common is the fact that they come with multiple driver aids. Found on every version of the Tucson is automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, a rearview camera, a driver drowsiness monitor, and forward-collision warning. There are also multiple driver aids available for this family-friendly SUV, including a surround-view camera system, blind-spot monitor, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning.

Trim  

The team at Williams Hyundai can tell you all about the six different trim levels available for the Tucson. For the entry-level SE, you'll find extra convenience in the form of automatic headlights on top of the long list of standard tech and safety features. Going up to the Value trim gives you even more, including things like heated front seats, roof rails, satellite radio, and keyless entry and ignition. This trim level also gets the blind-spot monitor.

Option three, the SEL, gets similar features to the Value but is powered by the 2.4L engine. It also gets dual-zone automatic climate control. For the Sport trim, Hyundai gives the Tucson an auto-dimming rearview mirror as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel. This is also the trim level where you will find the advanced audio system.

The Limited trim is where things get luxurious. It has wireless device charging, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery, and the surround-view camera system. For the Ultimate trim, you get great additions like heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and the larger touchscreen. It also gains adaptive cruise control as well as pedestrian detection.
