Hyundai Tucson IX

Hyundai Tucson IX. 2009 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/F, F/A, 1591, 1998 cm³ petrol, 1685, 1995 cm³ diesel (I4 DOHC). Second-generation Tucson, exported as ix35 to some countries. Adapted to Hyundai’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ design theme, admittedly harder to do for a tall vehicle. Well equipped, though handling left something to be desired on FWD models. Four-wheel drive provided better grip, but less refined.

Manufacturing locations: Ulsan, Korea; Žilina, Slovakia
