New Hyundai Tucson 2024
• Overview
The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is a head-turner among compact SUVs, with a stylish wardrobe wrapped around a luxurious yet practical cabin. While it's a hybrid model that we reviewed separately, the non-hybrid Tucson is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder powertrain with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. While the Tucson won't satisfy driving enthusiasts looking for satisfying handling or exciting acceleration, it offers a comfortable ride and composed demeanor that most SUV buyers will find pleasing. Entry-level models offer a high-value package that includes more than just the basics as standard, and those who want more luxury can find it in the Tucson's SEL and Limited trims; both capture the feel of a premium car without the usual additional price. that comes with it. These trims even offer features that rivals like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Volkswagen Tiguan don't; If you're after something with a premium feel in this class, it makes the Tucson a natural choice.
• What's New in 2024?
For 2024, the Tucson brings new safety features to the table, including seatbelt reminders for all passengers, rear side airbags, and steering wheel haptic feedback to alert the driver to alerts from lane-keep assist and blind-spot monitoring systems. Hampton Gray will now be offered across all trims, and the XRT model will get a black headliner; Models equipped with ambient interior lighting now offer light shows in 64 different colors. The 10.3-inch touchscreen will now be standard on SEL Convenience, XRT and Limited trims, while SEL trims and above will now feature dual automatic temperature control with automatic defogging functionality. The N-Line trim was dropped from the non-hybrid Tucson lineup but reappears in the hybrid model.
• Engine, Transmission and Performance
A 187-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is standard and comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. The Tucson offers enough juice for both city driving and highway passing maneuvers, but down-to-earth drivers will need more power. At our test track, our all-wheel-drive Limited test vehicle hit 60 mph in 8.8 seconds. The more powerful hybrid and plug-in hybrid models (reviewed separately) both feel quicker, but don't expect Toyota RAV4 Prime-level acceleration from either. Although the Tucson is not a sports car, its handling is confident, its steering is quite sharp and it is fun to drive. What's most striking about the Tucson's driving demeanor is how quiet and refined it feels when cruising; It is these features that give the SUV a feeling of luxury that is unmatched in this class.
• Interior, Comfort and Cargo
The Tucson has a simple but modern dashboard design with a digital instrument display, push-button shifter, and a touch-sensitive control panel for the climate control system and infotainment system. Hyundai's flagship Palisade SUV and the brand's recently redesigned Sonata and Elantra sedans have served as a turning point of sorts for the company's interior designs, and the new Tucson continues the trend with its carefully curated interior filled with quality materials and luxury features. Tucson's rear seat space and cargo area are larger than the previous model, providing passengers with greater comfort and practicality. We fit nine carry-on bags behind the hybrid's rear row, and with the seatbacks stowed, luggage capacity increased to 22 bags.
• Infotainment and Connectivity
A standard 8.8-inch touchscreen is integrated into the dashboard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; a larger 10.3-inch screen with built-in navigation is optional; Features like SiriusXM satellite radio and an upgraded Bose stereo system are also optional. Other high-tech offerings include Hyundai's digital key smartphone app, which provides locking and unlocking features as well as a remote start option.
