The latest Hyundai Tucson launches straight into the highly competitive mid-size SUV market with a choice of hybrid engines (up to and including a full plug-in option), generous specification, high-tech interior and decisively more stylish look than its predecessor. Given the number of bongs and alerts the Tucson throws at you you?re fully aware there?s a lot of safety tech on board to keep you out of trouble in various driving situations. All models get automatic emergency braking in response to hazards such as pedestrians or cyclists, ?intelligent? speed limit warnings, steering interventions to keep you in your lane and a unique in segment central airbag between the two front seats. You need to go up a trim level to get blind-spot warnings while some safety features ? such as the uprated ?junction? automatic braking and active blind-spot interventions ? are only available on versions with automatic gearboxes. The relatively high pricing of the Tucson is at least rewarded with a generous specification, with all models featuring two large screens. One has the configurable digital instruments in place of conventional dials ? a feature many rivals restrict to higher trim levels or the options list ? while the central touch-screen is your main point of interaction with the standard navigation system and supporting connected services. If you prefer you can connect your phone and use your apps via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, with wireless charging on the higher trim levels.
