The 2012 Tucson is equipped with a 10.25-inch TFT full-color LCD instrument panel. Here are additional details: 1. Size: It features a 10.4-inch vertical touch LCD screen with a resolution of 960*1280. Additionally, compared to the overseas version, the new model has improved and optimized the layout and size of the center console screen to better suit the usage habits and preferences of Chinese consumers. 2. Space: The 2012 Tucson L has body dimensions of 4670/1865/1690 mm with a wheelbase of 2755 mm; compared to the overseas version, it is 40 mm longer in body length, providing consumers with a larger luggage compartment storage space.
I've been driving a 2012 Tucson for many years, and the center console navigation screen size is 7 inches, which was considered mainstream at the time. While driving, I found this size sufficient for viewing map directions, though it's smaller compared to the large screens in newer cars today. The screen resolution is moderate, with minimal glare during the day, and the brightness is adjustable at night without affecting visibility. If you're used to using phone navigation, the original 7-inch screen offers better integration, including support for audio control and basic menu switching. For older car maintenance, parts for this size are easy to find, and replacement costs are not high, but don't expect advanced features like CarPlay. Overall, it's a practical design that meets daily travel needs.
As an average car owner, I'm quite satisfied with the 7-inch navigation screen size in my 2012 Tucson. In practical use, it doesn't occupy too much dashboard space, operates simply and intuitively, and displays clear reversing camera images. After comparing with my friend's new car featuring a 10-inch screen, I feel it's slightly smaller but see no need for upgrading as the basic functions suffice. The screen position is well-designed for parking or highway driving without obstructing visibility. Now that it's an older vehicle, I might consider adding an external mount to enhance mobile navigation assistance, while the original system still maintains Bluetooth connectivity advantages. Overall, the size is just right - neither too big nor too small, perfectly suited for an economical and practical vehicle.
