2016 Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson has truly been reinvented for the 2016 model year. A new engine choice, a new look, and a new style accompany its slightly bigger size. Consumer Reports writes that the new Tucson reflects Hyundai's emphasis on styling and premium feel. AutoWeek calls the Tucson an exciting counterpoint to the competition. The new exterior look is sportier with sharper lines. Sculpting has added concave surfaces to the doors. New lights add an angular look that fits with the horizontal lines of the new hexagonal grille. Sculpted wheel arches add a feeling of motion. The rear's new look includes a raked window, an integrated roof spoiler, and a higher rear bumper. The SUV is now three inches longer and 1.1 inches wider.

Performance
SUV shoppers have new engine choices. The standard 2-liter powertrain is Hyundai's well-liked 164- horsepower engine. The new turbo increases horsepower to 175. It also delivers a solid 195 pound-feet of torque. Low inertia turbo-spooling produces a real boost at 1,500 rpm. Hyundai has paired the turbo with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. This gear precision, when coupled with the turbo's power savvy, allows the Tucson to earn 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway*. All-wheel drive, a favorite option, adds active cornering control for sharper handling. AWD also includes hill start assist and downhill brake control.
Interior
The Tucson cabin has been improved from the outside in. The longer, wider Tucson allows for a bigger cabin with more passenger space for its five occupants. Taller individuals will find enough headroom and legroom on the second row. The new cockpit is more ergonomically designed, ensuring more comfort for the driver. It is quieter, thanks to new engine mounts and special structural adhesive. The material quality has improved with a better look and finish.
Features
The Hyundai Tucson features a five-inch touchscreen that makes it easy to interact with your audio choices. Bluetooth and a back-up camera are part of the standard package. Apple eyes-free integration adds more voice-controlled features. Pandora and Yelp are among the car's apps. Families can opt for the eight-inch touchscreen with an eight-speaker stereo. This adds traffic, weather and sports stations from SiriusXM.
Safety
The Tucson's new high-strength steel has increased body shell stiffness for more safety in a collision. Hyundai has added safety tech that watches for and warns about lane departures, forward collision dangers, and rear cross-traffic intrusions. These systems are more proactive than ever. The blind spot monitor benefits from lane change assist. The warning systems now include pedestrian detection. Automatic braking reduces the chances of an accident.
The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is offered in eight colors and four editions. You can test drive your choice now at Crown Hyundai, serving the St. Petersburg, FL area!
