the futuristic and sporty outlook of the Korean company, and its features appear
in all corners of the car. Customers can discover a new level of spaciousness,

Hyundai’s third-generation compact platform, which enhances space, preserves
structural integrity, and leads to fuel efficiency and driving performance. This
means the all-new Tucson’s steering and suspension systems are more responsive
than ever, and even better in terms of the luxury that the chassis reflects.
The new Tucson also has
strong SUV credentials with HTRAC — an all-wheel drive system that gives the
driver the confidence to tackle the toughest driving conditions. With speed
analysis by an advanced electronic control unit, this system automatically
optimizes torque distribution between the four wheels and applies the brakes if
needed, ensuring maximum traction and directional stability.

The Tucson features a

but a manual conditioning system is also available, allowing for quick and easy
adjustment. The technology developed for the adaptation includes a multi-air
mode, where at the push of a button, air gently flows from different outlets to
