Hyundai is introducing the 2020 Tucson to the US
market, with the compact SUV getting new colors and repackaging some kit across
its trim levels. Don’t expect however any brand new colors, as Hyundai simply replaced
the existing hues with new takes on them; Molten Silver is replaced by Stellar
Silver, Coliseum Grey is replaced by Magnetic Force, Dazzling While gives its
place to Winter White and White Pearl to Cream White.
The limited changes of the 2020 Tucson were to be
expected, since Hyundai heavily updated its model last year, giving it a
refreshed exterior look and a new interior, as well as replacing the 175 HP,
1.6-liter four-cylinder with a naturally aspirated, 181 HP 2.4 that’s paired to
a six-speed auto gearbox.
The base engine of the 2020 Hyundai Tucson remains a
2.0-liter four with 161 HP and 150 lb-ft of torque. Like before, the range
consists of the base 2.0-liter Value and SE trims, with the 2.4-liter version
available in the SEL, Sport, Limited and Ultimate trims.
The 2020 Tucson comes with plenty of safety features
as standard, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist
and Driver Attention Warning. Customers can opt for additional systems like
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, High Beam Assist,
Rain-sensing wipers, Surround View Monitor and Smart Cruise Control with Stop
& Go.
Also standard is Hyundai’s 7-inch touchscreen
infotainment system, featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard.
Wireless charging is an option, as well as the company’s Blue Link connected
services pack.
