2020 Auto China

Hyundai Tucson is an important part of this carmaker's success, especially because it is the company's best-selling SUV model. The new car has a very distinctive appearance, so it also bears such a huge innovation risk. This time in China, we met the fifth generation of Hyundai? Tucson L. This time, this car has an "L", which means it has also been lengthened, but this time it is not unique to China. You can also see Tucson L in Korean and North American markets.

The new car is also built on the modern i-GMP platform, and the tenth generation Sonata also comes from this platform, so we are no strangers. In terms of appearance, Tucson L adopted "Parametric? Dynamic "brand-new design theme, its front grille has an unusual triangular texture with left and right mirror images, which is obviously inspired by Elantra models. However, unlike cars, Tucson's headlights are integrated in the grille opening, and the LED components in them will be disguised in the front face when they are not turned on. This design is unique.

The side profile is rich, and the multi-layer overlapping line design is very exaggerated. The front and rear fenders are wide, and the wheel eyebrows and side skirts are made of chic black plastic. At the same time, the long and relatively flat roof is in sharp contrast with black, and the arched chrome trim makes the complaint look lower than the actual situation and more coupe-style. The design of the two-color wheel hub is very sporty, and there are some details in the black part, which is very good. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4630/ 1865/ 1665 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2755 mm. The body length is increased by 150 mm, the wheelbase is increased by 85 mm, and the legroom in the second row reaches 1050 mm..

The rear of the new car uses a penetrating taillight, which looks more like a plow with fangs brake lights on both sides. Taillight consists of full-angle LED lights, and is further decomposed by tiny triangular elements. The lower trim panel of the rear bumper has a unique diamond texture. Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. hid the rear window wiper under the roof spoiler, thus controversially moving the brand's oval badge to the window glass. This design is unique.

As the new car won't open, we can't get in. Through the front window, we can see that the interior of the overall Tucson L is still very regular, and there are not many buttons, which is very simple. The large central touch screen is clearly visible, and the wireless charging area should be below, followed by the cup holder and button shifting.

At the same time, according to the official map released before, we can see that the interior of the new car still exudes some simple and home-based temperament. There are two silver decorations on the steering wheel, which are in line with the environment inside the vehicle. A flat compact LCD instrument panel is located at the back of the steering wheel.

In addition, it is reported that the new car has added an available air quality monitoring system, which uses dust sensors to track the external pollution level. It can also track the internal air quality and purify the cabin as needed, and the evaporator with low humidity helps to keep the air conditioner free of odor.

At present, the power system list of the new Tucson L in China is still unknown. However, it is estimated that it will use 1.6T engine, and the gearbox will probably be replaced by an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox. Overseas, the new car is equipped with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, which can provide 193 horsepower (142 kW) and 260 Nm of torque, matching the 8-speed automatic transmission. In addition, Tucson's hybrid vehicle will be bundled with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric powertrain, thus increasing the power of the electric SUV to 234 horsepower (172? KW) and 350? Niumi

In addition, Tucson's plug-in hybrid vehicle will be launched in 2022, which uses the same 1.6T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and its cruising range and battery characteristics are unknown.

Hyundai Tucson L will be listed in South Korea as a 2022 model in the first half of next year, and its price should be a little more expensive than the current model. At the same time, there is no news that the car was made in China. At present, Tucson can be regarded as one of the most representative and best-selling SUVs in modern times, and Hyundai Group naturally has high hopes for it. Judging from the bold design and advanced configuration of the new car, it is true. We look forward to its performance in China.
