Hyundai understands what the average buyer wants when they get in a new car – screens are expected, but they just need to be big enough and have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto baked in. The Tucson ticks these boxes with the infotainment setup, which is an eight-inch unit on the base model and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with standard navigation. There’s a touch-sensitive control panel for the climate-control system separate from the main screen. It’s a lovely blend of simplicity and comfort with just the right mix of technology added.
On the Limited models, a Bose Premium Audio system is standard, but unfortunately, it’s typical of Bose with loose, flabby bass that got us looking for the equalizer settings immediately.
Hyundai’s Digital Key is now standard across the range and can be used via the smartphone app. Also standard now is adaptive cruise control, intelligent speed-limit assist, a motion-activated power liftgate, pedestrian and cyclist detection, wireless device charging, and junction turning detection.
