The new Tucson is equipped with a 1.6T engine. Overseas models will feature 2.0L and 2.4L naturally aspirated engines, while the domestic version will be powered by a 1.6T turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 130kW and peak torque of 265kW. Below is relevant information about the Tucson: The Tucson is a compact SUV under Hyundai, measuring 4545mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. Its body structure is a five-door, five-seat SUV model.

I've been driving the new Tucson for almost half a year now. It comes with a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, and the power response is very satisfying. Overtaking in the city or climbing hills is quite effortless. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's even more economical on the highway. The engine runs quietly with no strange noises. I also test drove the hybrid version, which combines a 1.6T engine with an electric motor, delivering around 230 horsepower. It can run short distances in pure electric mode, and charging the battery is quite convenient. Overall, the build quality is reliable with a low failure rate, and regular maintenance at an authorized service center is sufficient. It's suitable for families, with spacious rear seats that offer comfortable seating, and the engine doesn't overheat even on long trips. My colleague who drove the hybrid version said it's more fuel-efficient and has affordable maintenance costs, recommending this version.

From a technical perspective, the new Tucson offers a comprehensive range of engine options. The main highlight is the 1.6-liter GDi turbocharged gasoline engine, featuring direct fuel injection and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering approximately 180 horsepower with linear acceleration and minimal lag. Additionally, there's a hybrid system that combines a 1.6T gasoline engine with an electric motor, producing a total output of 230 horsepower and offering up to 50 kilometers of pure electric range with extremely low energy consumption. The transmission design has been optimized for efficiency and high reliability. The engine layout ensures balanced weight distribution, providing stability during sharp turns and reducing the risk of overheating. Daily maintenance is straightforward, with regular checks of the oil and filtration systems recommended to extend the engine's lifespan. This technical setup ensures a balance between performance and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for various driving conditions.

Fuel efficiency and low cost are the highlights of the new Tucson's engines. For example, the 1.6T gasoline version has a fuel consumption as low as 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, with affordable insurance and light taxes. The hybrid version offers even lower fuel consumption, reducing fuel expenses with electric assistance, making it more cost-effective for long-distance driving. The engines have fewer faults and cheap maintenance, making them suitable for commuters. If you're on a tight budget, the gasoline engine is sufficient, but the hybrid can save you subsidies. I feel the engine runs smoothly on highways every weekend, with low refueling frequency saving money. It's recommended to choose the engine based on your mileage.
