In order to pinpoint where your vehicle was made, the manufacturer location is included in your vehicle identification number. The first character in the identification number is associated with the country of origin:
Whichever engine you choose, the Hyundai Tucson has a maximum towing capacity of 453kgs (1,000lbs). The 2.0 L base engine, 2.4 L sport option, and 1.6 L turbo engine all have the same towing capacity.
As of 2013, all Hyundai engine models have a chain. The chain runs inside the engine and is lubricated by the engine oil. Unlike a timing belt that needs to be replaced after a certain amount of travel due to wear, the chain doesn’t require special maintenance or replacement at a certain interval.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is bigger than the Hyundai Tucson overall. The length of the Santa Fe is 15’4”, which is a full 10” longer than the Tucson's 14’6” length.
On the interior, the Hyundai Santa Fe also comes with more room. It has 1,002 L of storage space, compared to 877 L of storage space with the Tucson.
The standard engine on the Hyundai Tucson does not have a turbo. It is a 2.0 L gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine that delivers 161 horsepower. It also comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission that offers SHIFTRONIC manual shifting mode.
There are multiple options to upgrade your Hyundai Tucson overall, including the engine. The Hyundai Tucson Value model, the Limited model, and Limited Ultimate model feature a 1.6 L turbocharged direct-injection engine. The turbocharged engine delivers 174 horsepower and is paired with a 7-speed EcoShift dual-clutch transmission.
The Hyundai Tucson runs on gasoline. It’s recommended that unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 or higher be used with your Hyundai Tucson. Gasoline containing detergent additives to help prevent deposits forming on the engine is also recommended.
Gasoline that is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol may be used, but fuels containing methanol or unspecified quantities of alcohol should not be used.
The Hyundai Tucson comes in Front Wheel Drive, but an HTRAC All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system is optional. The HTRAC AWD constantly monitors and adjusts to provide optimal traction.
The rear seats fold all the way down for maximum cargo capacity of 1,754 L. The rear seats also split-fold 60/40 to accommodate longer items. With the rear seats upright, the storage capacity of the Hyundai Tucson is 877 L.
The Hyundai Tucson seats up to five passengers.
With easy to access LATCH anchors and ample legroom in the Hyundai Tucson, parents will have no trouble installing two child-safety seats. LATCH anchors typically have a weight limit of 30kgs (66lbs), which includes the weight of the child and seat itself.
