New Hyundai Tucson 2016 takes tech lead among small crossovers

In 2015 New York Auto Show, Hyundai has unveiled its all-new Tucson model with all sorts of introductions. Instead of a typical five-passenger crossover, the all-new 2016 model will hit the global market with surprising features for the future.

Hyundai claimed that the new Tucson model will provide an average fuel economy of 29 mpg, and the estimated fuel economy is an impressive one for this segment.

The same comes with 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine,  that produces 175 horsepower with 195 pound-feet of torque, and powered up with seven-speed automated manual transmission system. Hyundai Tucson has All-Wheel-drive, that uses a system which dynamically transmit the torque between the rear axles and the front one.

In the console, the electronic button allows the system to lock various torque modes, and it ensures the four-wheel driving in the mud or in snowy regions. In order to monitor this driving mode, the new Tucson model comes with an additional corner braking system, which applies break automatically with a little pressure on the wheels when the vehicles is negotiating a turn. Already Subaru has recently applied a similar system like this in some of its vehicles.

In the meanwhile, Hyundai offers tons of advanced safety features that enables the users to drive safely over the roads. It has an advanced system such as a collision prevention system that automatically enables breaks when it senses any pedestrians or any objects in its path. And also, the vehicle comes with a blind spot monitor, rear view camera and so on. At the same time, the users can easily connect their car with smartphones in a go.
