  "account": "Hyundai has announced the fifth generation of its compact SUV, the Tucson, set to launch at the beginning of 2027. This new model marks a significant departure from its predecessor, standing five centimeters longer and boasting a revamped design language. The exterior features a more angular aesthetic, enhanced with aggressive front and rear fascias, bold side bumper designs, and protective plastic cladding. One of the most noticeable design elements is the uninterrupted light strips at the front and rear, flanked by vertical drive lights and taillights, which can be further customized with micro-pixel lighting. Standing at 4.56 meters in length, the new Tucson is positioned at the upper end of its segment, competing with vehicles like the VW Tiguan, Ford Kuga, and Toyota Corolla Cross. It also offers increased width and wheelbase, with the latter expanded by four centimeters to 2.72 meters. The interior provides ample legroom and headspace, and all seating positions offer comfort, including a 15-centimeter longitudinal adjustment for the rear seat. The cargo space volume is rated at 695 liters, comparable to the larger Santa Fe, with generous opening, low loading height, and flat loading floor for everyday practicality. Hyundai has prioritized a more homely atmosphere in the cabin, particularly in the top variant, characterized by premium finishing, soft surface materials, and mood-enhancing lighting. The centerpiece of the new infotainment system is a large touchscreen in the center console, which controls the infotainment functions. It replaces traditional instruments with a semi-classical LCD display showing current speed and navigation instructions, alongside a set of physical controls for climate control and other standards. The shift to gears is handled by a steering lever. Hyundai has introduced an automatic reverse parking assist system, which uses the vehicle's previous forward movement data to aid in tight parking situations. This feature, combined with an optional trailer coupling, enables trailer towing up to 1,910 kilograms. A plug-in hybrid variant, featuring 212 kW/288 PS and an electric range of 81 kilometers, and a full hybrid variant with a 175 kW/238 PS engine are available, replacing the diesel engine of the previous model. The base engine is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder producing 110 kW/150 PS. The previous diesel option has been discontinued, but a mechanical all-wheel drive remains an option. The Tucson is still manufactured in Hyundai's Czech plant, with a slightly more aggressive version for the US and other markets, measuring 4.70 meters in length.",
  "summary": "Der Hyundai Tucson hat sich in den Top Ten der weltweit meistverkauften Autos etabliert. Die neue Generation gibt es nicht als Elektroauto, aber auch nicht als Diesel.",
