New Hyundai Tucson

[KoreanLover]

Can check out these youtube videos. I have went to Komoco to see once. But not really explored thoroughly. But the HK version in the youtube seems to be very similar. Same rim and trim. Except for the center console which I believe Komoco has fitted a touch screen with GPS locally.

 

 

 

Nice video

 

I didn't know can recline the back seat to one's comfort. That's another plus point to convince my OC.

Having test driven the car. I find the car a bit under powered. Also experience a bit of engine noise at below 60km/hr.

 

What do you guys think ?

 

Will locally fitted display means some buttons will not work ?

underpower or not underpower is quite subjective, depends on compare to which one, of course cannot compare to forester XT,

different target of consumers,

it should compare to Vezel, QQ, Forester NA, outlander, Harrier, X-trial etc

I got the coe last bidding but SE said end april for car delivery. I chose milk tea colour.

 

 

Milk tea is nice. I believe other country has a colour call white sands. Too bad, Singapore dun have.

Almost all Crossover in SGP are under power maybe minus the Forester GT.

Nevertheless, we buy them for their high seating position and space.

 

Plus it has the most European look...

Oh.. I do realize through sgcarmart that Tucson now comes equipped with leather steering and 4.2" TFT LCD display. 

 

Any buddies went showroom recently and saw the newly equipped Tucson?

[Ozkaki]

Yes. Looks nice. Except internal still lots of hard plastic. But the color combination is good.

Screen should be bigger than 4.2 for the higher end model.

Anyone compare tucson with forester. Both have similar features with forester missing blind spot monitoring...anything else ?

 

The forester seems to drive faster. The tucson looks better.

GPS for tucson is fitted locally.

Are you sure the tucson is larger internally ? Forester is a larger car.

Also I think forester has auto dim rear mirror...

Just did a size comparison. Forester wheelbase shorter and width narrower than Tuscon.

What are the freebies hyundai tucson 2015/2016 buyers got? Any free servicing package? Like first 1000km,5000km or 10000km?

[Ozkaki]

Can someone help to confirm, whether the car comes with auto rain sensor. Thanks.

I guess the for free servicing, minimum given should be first 3 ( up to 10,000km).

 

For freebies, you may ask for video camera recorder, window film at least.

On top of this, if you have a car to trade in, bargain for at least $2K more.

Putting aside paper figures, anyone sitting in both would conclude forester is slightly more spacious. Maybe it has got something to do with better all round visibility of forester.

Nope. Overseas version yes

[Ozkaki]

Thanks. Disappointed. Basic feature not included in the premium model

Maybe cos it is longer and taller.

if you are not for performance and AWD,

nothing to compare and debate, straightforward go for Tuscon,
