Tucson

[Saag]

How come it's all quiet in the western front?

 

Is Tuscon owners on the downtrend?

 

I think believe that it is a bargain SUV for its class and relatively easy on consumption 1L for 8-9km

 

Hope more Tucson owners will roll in soon. Pretty quiet, Maybe more on I.C.E. performance, type of tires, and etc. etc.

 

 

my brother Tucson can get 10km/L in average, 50% city-HW.

Nice ride, quiet & quite powerful.

Reliable, no major problem, only regular service.

Current model has been around since 04. New model coming out end of this year. 6 speeder auto box with 2.0 turbo engine.

Wow, look like same concept as the new Kia SUV. The past vs present is a wide gap.

wow.. rims looks

 

front abit like CRV + Acyton

[Hummer]

It looks very good indeed. I can't wait for it to debut at the Geneva Motorshow in Sep 09.

6 sp box with 2l turbo engine is very attractive. I would like to see how the interior is like too.

[Freeman95]

Looks good. Really a big different from the 04 model interm of look. Hopefully the interior has improved as well. Else, it make no practical sense for me to change since I already driving one 04 Tucson. :P

 

But still wanna wait to see the real car first to play safe.

Spy Shot: Hyundai Tucson undisguised

 

 

Will come with 6-speed automatic and a 1.6 turbo engine with 140bhp

Wow, the Koreans have developed their own 6sp dual clutch gearbox.

Thanks to Jonathan, an eagle eyed AUSmotive reader, for sending in this spy shot of the yet to be released Hyundai ix35. The photo was taken in Sydney

[Alfist168]

I think its miscommunication. I bet Koreans will not put a dual-clutch gearbox into the Tucson. It should be the 6-speed auto gearbox which Hyundai have developed.

Just saw the ad for the tucson from komoco

Region of $80000 for 2 litre engine with 6 speed auto

The design is beautiful but price a bit high. At this price, can get a Grand Vitara.

I think the price is alright. Still, it remains to be seen how much de-speccing Komoco has done.

The Grand Vitara is strong in styling and showroom appeal, but i think it dont even drive better than the old Tucson...

Heard that sunroof is optional. However heard that factory HU, engine start/stop button not included. Wonder what else is excluded, those 18 inch wheels perhaps.

saw the new tucson at komoco showroom last saturday.. the ride on display is a full specification model, meaning it comes with the double sunroof, integrated controls on steering wheel, factory fitted stereos, climate-control air con if i'm not wrong, electric driver seats, start/stop button, and also 6 air bags! and if i heard it correctly from rafi ali (the sales that has served me), the new tucson comes with vsd or esd, on top of abs and 6 speeds!

 

a pity is there is no test drive yet, perhaps coming weekend, but the built quality has improved tremendously.. i'm pretty impressed! but at $85999 is a steep pricing, although comparing with similar specification models, the tucson appears to be a steal.

 

note that i'm not driving a hyundai but a honda, not a komoco sales either.
