Hyundai Motor Co. announced plans to introduce the all-new fifth-generation Tucson SUV to the South Korean market in the coming month. The fifth-generation Tucson marks the latest redesign of the compact vehicle, six years after the last generation debuted. Hyundai will offer the model in two configurations: a turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a hybrid version powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline-hybrid system.
The gasoline-powered model features an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid version boasts an impressive fuel economy of 17.4 kilometers per liter.
Advanced safety features are a key highlight of the new Tucson. The vehicle is equipped with a redundant power supply system for door unlocking, which ensures the door remains unlocked even in the event of a power failure due to a collision. Hyundai asserts this is the first time such technology has been implemented in one of their vehicles.
Additionally, the compact SUV will be the first in its class to feature Hyundai's next-generation infotainment system, Pleos Connect, in a Hyundai SUV. This system grants drivers access to Gleo AI, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) agent.
