2013 hyundai tucson review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Superb compact crossover. introductionthe hyundai tucson is a compact crossover suv that delivers responsive performance and good fuel economy. It's roomy, comfortable cabin makes it easy to live with. A choice of engines is available. 2013 hyundai tucson models get more standard equipment than before. The 2013 tucson gls comes standard with fog lights, automatic headlight control, and heated front seats; the 2013 tucson limited gets proximity-key entry with push-button starting. Tucson was last redesigned for the 2010 model year; for 2012, tucson benefitted from bigger brakes, improved air conditioning, a smoother ride, and other improvements. the 2013 hyundai tucson begins with the value-priced, front-wheel-drive tucson gl. Power is provided by a 176-horsepower 2. 4-liter engine. Hyundai's superb 6-speed automatic is standard, and comes with a driver-selectable active eco mode, which modifies the response of the engine and transmission to changes in throttle position. Hyundai says this can yield as much as a 7-percent gain in real-world fuel economy. Epa ratings for the 2. 4-liter tucson with active eco are 21/30 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive. Low-rolling-resistance silica tires contribute to those numbers. inside, the cabin is a model of straightforwardness and simplicity. It's excellent ergonomically, meaning everything is easy to reach and operate. The materials are nice. The seats are supportive and comfortable. Tucson skillfully tricks the eye, to its benefit. Just as the huge audi q7 manages to appear smaller and more athletic than it is, the tucson does just the opposite. Its high beltline and squinty side-window configuration make the tucson appear larger and more capacious than it really is. Tucson gl comes standard with a 5-speed manual transmission, but is available with hyundai's 6-speed automatic 20,245). New for 2013 are fog lights, automatic headlight control, and heated front seats the gls comes standard with the 6-speed automatic. Tucson gls awd 24,095) adds all-wheel drive. tucson limited 25,445) and limited awd 26,945) upgrade to leather seating, eight-way adjustable driver's seat, power lumbar support for driver and front passenger, dual-zone automatic temperature control, cargo cover, chrome grille and door handles, front wiper de-icer, auto-dimming inside mirror with homelink, and 18-inch alloy wheels. New for 2013 are proximity-key entry with push-button start. All-wheel drive is optional. Rearview camera is optional. walkaroundthe hyundai tucson takes advantage of the current european taste for dynamic thrusting forms and aggressive angularities. It has swoopy lines darting to and fro along its flanks, nose and tail. A huge, deeply slanted windshield provides excellent forward perspective for the driver, but for rear seat passengers, looking out of the tucson's narrow side windows is a little like peering out the gun slit of an armored car. there will be those who find the tucson's exterior a little busy looking, while others will find that standing next to the tucson and looking down its door sides, it looks oddly slab-sided, bigger and heavier than it really is. as always, there is ample room for debate about the tucson's styling. The one point that is not debatable is this crossover's high expectations. Its styling is up to the minute, as aggressive as any crossover in the world market. The front seats are excellent both in terms of firm support and quality leather. This is a compact crossover. This hyundai gets an a-plus in the avoiding annoyances category. the dashboard's black pebble-grain covering is handsome and anything but econo class. The dashboard instruments are straightforward and dignified, with a water temperature and fuel gauge delivered in electronic readouts. To the left of the steering column are controls for hill assist, a stability-control off switch and the differential locker control. Cruise control and audio switches are provided on the steering wheel, with phone controls partially hidden inside the wheel rim. the center console is simply laid out, offering audio controls, a navigation system and bluetooth mp3 capability. Here we encountered one weakness in the tucson, its forward-slanting navigation screen was all but blinded by glare on sunny days. On the other hand, it is blessedly straightforward to use, with a proper radial knob provided for tuning the audio. Defrost front and rear and individual seat-heater controls are easily selected. Life should always be this easy. But in too many other cars, it isn't. The 2. 4-liter engine is rated 176 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 168 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Although hyundai claims large real-world gains for the new active eco function, epa-estimated fuel economy for the 2013 2. 4-liter tucson engine is 21/30 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive and 6-speed automatic. the hyundai-designed 6-speed automatic transmission is smooth-shifting and excellent, giving the tucson a big advantage in efficiency over other vehicles in its class. Additionally, its manual shifting capability is particularly good. The 2. 0-liter produces 165 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 146 pound-feet at 4600. We haven't driven the tucson gl with the 2. 0-liter engine. As the gl is not significantly lighter than the gls, we have to suspect that performa.
