The new Hyundai Tucson arrives in Malaysia in three variants starting at RM159K.
A week after order books were opened, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors has officially launched the 4th generation Tucson in Malaysia. There will be three variants with two engine options available for our market:
- Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Lite – RM158,888
- Hyundai Tucson 1.6T Plus – RM178,888
- Hyundai Tucson 1.6T Max – RM195,888
Every Hyundai Tucson model sold here will be fully-imported from South Korea and the first 100 customers to book this year will receive a free 5-year/300,000km “extended warranty” as well as a free 3-year/50,000km service package. This extended warranty and service package will thereafter be priced at RM10,000.
Powertrain Details
The 2.0L Lite model comes with the proven Smartstream MPI naturally-aspirated petrol engine that’s good for 156PS and 192Nm of torque. It’s paired to a familiar 6-speed conventional automatic, sending power to the front wheels only. This is a conventional powertrain that promises fuss-free motoring for years to come.
Those looking for a bit more power can go for the 1.6T models, which come with a turbocharged direct injection petrol engine that develops 180PS and 265Nm of torque. This power also gets sent to the front wheels only but via a quick-shifting 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission. This high-tech gearbox features shift-by-wire technology with push-button gear selection.
