rmc523 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 https://www.autoblog.com/2018/03/28/2019-hyundai-tucson-revised-8843001 Gone is the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine option in the Tucson, replaced by a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter engine with 181 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. This same engine was just announced for the 2018 model year, available exclusively in the Tucson Sport, but the 2019 refresh puts the uprated mill in the SEL, Sport, and Limited trims. A 2.0-liter engine is standard in Value and SE trim levels, where it makes 164 hp and 151 lb-ft.The Tucson gets redesigned fascias front and rear, with Hyundai's latest "cascading grille" design. Unlike the Santa Fe and Kona, the Tucson has traditional single-unit lighting clusters that extend from the top corners of the grille. A smaller, angular set of driving lights sit well below the headlights. Interior changes are less noticeable, but the addition of optional second-row USB charging ports and Qi wireless smartphone charging add convenience to upper trim levels. A seven-inch touchscreen comes standard and includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.Forward Collision Avoidance and Lane Keeping Assist are standard on all 2019 Hyundai Tucson models. A surround-view monitor, pedestrian detection, high-beam assist, rain-sensing wipers, smart cruise control with stop-and-go, and a driver attention warning system are optional. I don't like the new Hyundai grille. It looks odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Almost looks like a mini-Lexus grille. Baby Predator? I guess they got tired of copying Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I think the fact that the grille is surrounded by chrome on all sides but the top makes it look oddly proportioned and bottom heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right - I didn't even notice that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
