The all-new 2023 Hyundai Tucson is now open for bookings in Malaysia, and it will be offered in 3 variants – 2.0 Lite, 1.6T Plus, and 1.6T Max. Soon to be launched in Malaysia, the all-new Hyundai Tucson will be fully imported (CBU) from Korea.
Hyundai Sime Darby Motors Managing Director, Low Yuan Lung said, “The Tucson is Hyundai’s entrant in the important C-SUV segment, and it is a strong one. With distinctive looks, up-to-date technology, and a decidedly upmarket focus, this five-seater is a sophisticated tool for the urban jungle of today and tomorrow, and one that you will enjoy driving on your own as much as with your small family in tow,”
The all-new Hyundai Tucson was earlier spotted undisguised in Malaysia, seen with the 1.6 T badge, and now it is officially confirmed there will be a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated powertrain option offered as well.
The 2.0 Litre’s Smartstream MPI engine produces 156 hp (metric) and 192 Nm of torque, and is paired with a six-speed automatic, whereas the other two variants combine a turbocharged Smartstream 1.6 TGDi engine that develops 180 hp (metric) and 265 Nm of torque with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT) that features push-button gear selection.
Regardless of variant, the Tucson gets seven airbags including a front-thorax airbag, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, Blind Spot Collision Warning and Safe Exit Warning. The range-topping 1.6T Max exclusively enjoys eight-way powered and heated/ventilated driver and front passenger seats, a fully digital 10.25-inch instrument panel, a power tailgate, auto wipers, wireless phone charging and a full Hyundai SmartSense safety suite including Smart Cruise Control.
Now open for bookings in Malaysia, the all-new Hyundai Tucson will be offered in Amazon Gray Metallic, Phantom Black Pearl, Creamy White Pearl, Crimson Red Pearl and Silky Bronze Metallic, with the last two not offered on the 2.0 Lite.
