“We have added another variant to attract even more customers and interest towards our best-selling compact SUV. With this latest variant introduced, the Tucson has the widest powertrain in its segment namely the 1.6L Gamma T-GDI engine, Nu 2.0 MPI engine and the 2.0L R-series CRDI Diesel engine,” said Managing Director of HSDM, Lau Yit Mun.
The Tucson 2.0L CRDI Diesel, which is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, boasts a power output of 178PS and 400Nm from 1,750 to 2,750 rpm of torque.
New convenient features are also offered with this new variant. They include the LED Headlamps with static bending lights; Auto Hold function that automatically holds the brakes steady once the vehicle has come to a complete stop thereby preventing it from creeping forward or rolling backward; and a smart powered tailgate which opens at the approach of the key-holder.
Optional accessories such as three leather packages (colour options: black, red and white), body kit and 19-inch rims are also made available with the Tucson 2.0L CRDI Diesel.
The Tucson comes in 3 variants namely:
• 2.0L Elegance (RM126,188)
• 1.6L Turbo GDI (RM145,688)
• 2.0L CRDI Diesel (RM155,788)
All prices are on-the-road without insurance.
The Tucson 2.0L Elegance also received minor upgrades i.e fog lamps and daytime running lights.
All Tucson variants have also been granted the Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) status from the Malaysia government.
As with all Hyundai models, the Tucson also features a state-of-the-art safety system that offers optimal driving stability. These include the Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system, Hillstart Assist Control (HAC), Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) with an Automatic Vehicle Hold feature. The 1.6L T-GDI and 2.0L CRDI Diesel are fully equipped with 6 airbags for all round safety.
All Tucson variants are entitled to 50,000km free service with 3 years validity.
HSDM offers a 5-year or 300,000km (whichever comes first) warranty on all its new passenger vehicles. A 24-hour road assist service is also now available to new and existing Hyundai vehicles.
