Hyundai Tucson

The Tucson (pictured above) is Hyundai’s bestseller in North America and making its debut at the recent New York auto show was the car’s new, updated model. There have been limited changes made to the car’s exterior—a slightly revised front section sports rejigged LED DRLs, along with a redesigned grille and bumper. The dashboard has got a new dual-screen setup, housing the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen, both measuring 12.3 inches. The steering wheel has been updated as well, ditching the old Hyundai logo for a strip with four dots that reads ‘H’ in Morse code. A column-mounted gear selector frees up space in the centre console. The Tucson is available in petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
