Breaking Free from the Everyday with Hyundai Tucson

We did break free from the "everyday", as we drove the Hyundai Tucson recently for some of our road trips this summer! The features of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson deliver sporty driving dynamics, and its safety technology makes everyone feel safe, which gives us confidence to enjoy the drive.

The interior of the Tucson is redesigned to maximize the space, while keeping the SUV compact. The dominant front grille is surrounded by advance lighting technology that consumes less power and is brighter. It features standard LED Daytime Running lights, projection headlights with integrated LED accents, High Intensity Discharge headlights with a Dynamic Bending, LED taillights and signal indicators, front door handle welcome lights, and more. There are three drive modes; eco, normal, and sport.

Technology such as driver assistance, situation awareness technologies, autonomous emergency braking, standard rearview camera, six air bags to protect all around, rear parking assist sensors, forward camera and radar sensors to detect rapid closing speeds to the vehicle ahead are wonderful to have. The Tucson gives warning notifications, and under 80 km/h it provides full braking assistance. Blind spot detection uses radar to detect and signals audibly and with visual alert. The lane departure warning systems signal when drifted outside of the lane. In reverse gear, the rear cross traffic alert identifies and warns the drivers of approaching vehicles from the sides before it is visible in the camera.

The heated steering wheels has mounted controls within easy reach, which allows us to control the audio stations, volume levels, speed with cruise control, and the Bluetooth hands-free phone system. We like the position of this centre console with its wing shaped orientation, as it is easy to access and is clearly visible without being distractive. The audio system has external amplifier and eight speakers for equal listening pleasure.

We really like how easy, detailed, and concise the maps and directions are on the Tucson's eight-inch touch screen navigation system.

The Tucson has heated and ventilated front seats, and there is an option of choosing heated rear seats as well. The rear seats have their own air conditioning vents and control, which makes it more comfortable for the rear seat passengers.

We found having the 60/40 split fold back seats to be useful. Although, the Tucson has eight-way power driver seat with two-way power lumber support we found the seats in the front and back to be slightly uncomfortable, and we felt the headrests have restricted adjustments.

We can easily enter the vehicle because of the proximity keyless entry with push button ignition. Passengers can unlock the door by easily pressing the button on either the driver’s or front passenger's door handle. This button illuminates at night even when the keys are in our purse or pocket.

Having the panoramic sunroof in the Hyundai Tucson is another wonderful feature. This panoramic sunroof spans above both front and rear passengers.

To open the trunk there is an automatic push button that allows us to easily open or close. I like that it has a smart power liftgate to sense presence and stop for safety.

The Tucson comes in eight colours including this Caribbean Blue. There are five different interior cloth or leather choices depending on the model and exterior colour selection.

We like the aerodynamic design, as we did not feel a drag from the wind especially when we drove in the highway. I agree with Hyundai that a vehicle is no longer simply a means of transportation; it is an extension of us!
