All-New 2022 Hyundai Tucson Brings Bold Presence to North American Market

Adding emotional value by evoking confidence with its bold presence and human-centric technology integrations, the all-new 2022 Hyundai Tucson has been intentionally designed to be just the right size for the North American market. Larger in size with more passenger and cargo volume, the compact SUV is intended to appeal to tech-savvy consumers who actively embrace the latest gadgets and useful applications that provide assistance with daily life.

Hyundai's best-selling model globally represents its vision for progressive design and provides a distinct identity in a crowded SUV segment. The vehicle's parametric dynamic exterior design expresses a kinetic, jewel-like surface detailing as part of the brand's ever-evolving Sensuous Sportiness global design identity. A diverse Smartstream engine line-up includes both a 187-horsepower Smartstream™ 2.5-liter, direct-injected and multi-port-injected gasoline engine as well as 1.6-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

Tucson represents the future of Hyundai's full-spectrum eco-powertrain approach, offering internal combustion, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid models in a high-volume compact SUV. With all-wheel-drive capability now added to new hybrid SUV platforms, customers no longer need to choose between all-road, all-weather capability and outstanding efficiency.

Inside, Tucson's fresh, high-tech interior cabin, which has been bestowed the moniker 'INTERSPACE', offers an atmosphere of openness and serenity. The dashboard's broad ridge blends with the doors to wrap occupants as if in a geologic gorge punctuated by a fully integrated center fascia that alludes to a waterfall. Add to that ambient mood lighting which is adjustable to 64 colors in ten levels of brightness. The standard Hyundai SmartSense safety technology suite currently offers more standard and available active safety features than any other SUV in its class to help keep drivers safe while on the road.

Tucson offers a number of segment-first exclusive features including Remote Smart Park Assist which allows owners to park and retrieve their Tucson from the tightest of parking spaces from outside the vehicle, Remote Start with Heated and Ventilated Seats which uses a cellular data connection that allows an owner to warm up or cool down the vehicle remotely, Digital Key which is a segment-exclusive feature supported via a dedicated smartphone app., and Wireless Android Auto® and Apple CarPlay® coupled to an eight-inch color touchscreen. The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is offered in a simplified package strategy with current model year improvements that include remote profile management which stores select vehicle , remote start enhancements for remote seat heating and ventilation, profile vehicle status notifications, maintenance alert enhancement, and POI Send to Car now with Waypoints.
