He is able to climb the mountain, even if part of the wheels has been spinning in the air for a long time
What could be inconspicuous than Hyundai Tucson? So far I have not told the photographer that this SUV is a constant sales leader, Andrei was sacredly convinced that Tushkan is an extremely rare beast on Russian roads. The car merges with the stream, does not stand out in neither forms nor color. The interior is simple to disgrace, especially today, when even the Chinese learned to create quite decent salons. Here is the kingdom of cheap materials and simple forms. Of course, you gradually get used to this asceticism, because all the necessary, creating comfort, and work perfectly. This ugly duckling may be bored in appearance, but has one of the best characters in the quartet.
A car for a spy
One of the most inconspicuous city SUVs, there are much more of them than it seems
The interior is lame on both legs
Such decoration today does not allow themselves even Chinese automakers
In the city, thanks to a powerful 2.7-liter motor, Tucson lives very organically, without opposing active accelerations and maneuvers. True, for this you need to get into a car a little, as the machine is amazingly thoughtful and slow. Pedal trampling often gives a lower effect than smooth, but assertive acceleration at the moment, preventing transmission from transmission. By the way, the automatic transmission also has a manual mode. Hyundai is the only one in our group confidently slows down the engine when gear shifts down. And it is very pleasant to drive on Tucson, the motor quickly accelerates it to serious speeds, leaving the test brothers far behind the tests, except that the Nissan X-Trail is close in raid opportunities. At the same time, the Korean does not care which coating under the wheels, whether there are holes and what size they are. A dense, but comfortable suspension remarkably levels the asphalt and primer microrelief. Acoustic comfort is also lame, apparently, this is a distinctive feature of the class of urban SUVs. The noise background is divided into two zones: a rumble of rolling is heard from behind, as if a window is ajar, and the cocky fish of the V-shaped six is \u200b\u200baccompanied in front.
 
At first glance, it is very difficult to discern at Hyundai a talented crook, like geometry and good, but it hurts low. In fact, the modest man famously straightens out with cracked fields. Thanks to perfectly configured electronics, he is able to climb the mountain, even if part of the wheels has been spinning in the air for a long time! The legendary Land Rover Discovery traveled with us during the test, and, given the absence of too deep Kolya, he felt a little more confident in the slippery clay tracks than the urban upset!
Everything spoils the machine
Huge delays in switching and hanging out at peak revolutions cross out the possibilities of a wonderful V6 engine
A broken road?
Ah, a broken road and normal is the road!
Not a tractor, but on
off -road feels at home

in appearance, Tucson demonstrates excellent running properties on any coating
DESIGN
The first show of 2004, the design under the leadership of Thomas Burkle (Thomas Burkle)
OUTSIDE
The image of this car took root surprisingly quickly, and believe that he was very difficult for only four years. No, he is not outdated. They are just used to him, and this is an undoubted quality of his design. The expressiveness of the face is formed by the apparent unusually highly located upper line of the bumper. From this, the car makes the impression well and reliably protected fortress. This will come in handy during parking in a megalopolis, as well as in the assault on snowdrifts and sandy marks. The lateral silhouette is distinguished by moderate dynamics, but the arches of the wheels and the wide stamping on the bottom of the body from some angles may seem too voluminous. It is undoubted that the short rear overhang is the dignity of the SUV, but not his artistic qualities. Alas. The back is undoubtedly a crossover: there is both muscles and an sophistication in the form of a hexagonal window of the fifth door.
INSIDE
This is probably the most concise and intelligible solution of the interior in the test. On the T-shaped instrument panel, only silver lining is focused on the central console and a combination of devices. And the transition of the plastic panel of the instruments to the upholstery of the doors looks organic and even elegant. True, a little dark from black
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
The Hyundai Tucson is equipped with the Torque-on-Demand (TOD) moment on demand. The transmission of torque is carried out through self -locking viscousyft with electronic control. In normal mode, the transmission transmits 99% of the torque to the front axle, and the rear axle is connected when the front wheels are slipped using an electromagnetic coupling. The connection occurs with a tangible delay accompanied by the impetus. On off -road, there is the possibility of blocking the interdose coupling in order to transfer the transmission from automatic to a permanent all -wheel drive mode.
 
Configuration
Of the twelve levels of TUCSON SUVs, the three protozoa are completely deprived of all -wheel drive and are equipped exclusively by two -liter power units and a mechanical checkpoint. A little higher costs five all -wheel drive modifications, excellent degree of equipment and a type of transmission. The next step is diesel, available with both mechanics and automatic. The 2.7-liter Tucson pyramid is crowned, produced only with automatic transmission, all-wheel drive and complete equipment.

The appearance of the Korean is dependent on the color, the dark ones look better. Aggression and toy are mixed in the guise, which gives rise

How empty here! Total minimalism, not a single extra button, shelf or display, as if not the XXI century in the yard

The devices are the most read and understandable, although they look like a scooter is borrowed
 
The seats are simple, but surprisingly cozy

Simplicity-priestly, and the score is in stock

The windows block is the simplest, but no less convenient
 
 
The machine is not enough flipped, but the manual regime saves

There is not much space behind, but it is not difficult to fit
