Hyundai Tucson Picks Up Crossover of the Year by Wheels Magazine

The Hyundai Tucson is bigger and better than ever, earning it the prestigious title of “Crossover of the Year” for drastic improvements made in overall quality and design, at the second annual Wheels awards held on the 7th of February at the Shangri-La Hotel.

A spokesperson from Wheels commented, “Hyundai is better, smoother, quieter, softer…but most of all, it’s exciting. This is a brand that has improved in two years as much as others have improved in two decades! ”

The new Hyundai Tucson is a major overhaul of the original 2005 model which had remained virtually unchanged till then. The new model boasts better overall agility, handling, and quite frankly quality. The Tucson has been completely revamped, from interior to exterior, representing even more value for money in an SUV packed with all the features you would find in the competition’s models for a better price.  The new model comes with a panoramic sunroof, built-in Bluetooth, rear parking camera, just to name few.

It should also be noted that the new model tests highly on safety for its excellent protection of occupants from front, rear, and side impact. The Hyundai Tucson applies all-new life-saving technology, with Vehicle Dynamic Control, which improves stability and minimizes skids; Down Hill Brake Control, allowing the vehicle to maintain speed on steep declines; Hillstart Assist Control, that prevents the car from rolling backwards on an incline; and Emergency Stop Signal, that triggers hazard lights to alert drivers from behind in the event of a quick stop.

The Hyundai Tucson combines a 2.0 – liter 2.4 – cylinder engine that comes in either five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission for superior gas mileage.
