At the end of April this year, the new and intriguing Tucson will arrive here.
These are the things you should know about him
An entirely new Hyundai Tucson has been unveiled overseas and is set to reach us this coming April.
The importance of the Tucson cannot be overstated, both for the local customer and its contribution to the positioning of Hyundai in Israel.
When it came to designing the fourth generation in the number of recreational vehicles, Hyundai did not take the gradual change approach.
On the contrary.

The change is very noticeable, with an aggressive, innovative, noticeable look.
Sophisticated lighting units, prominent wings and many other details that make the new Tucson look much better than its predecessor.
It is also large, slightly when the wheelbase is added an inch, for example.
In the cabin you can register another makeover.
Beyond the promise of improved materials and another jump in quality, here too there is an attractive and up-to-date layout.
Whether it's the steering wheel, the screens or the gear lever that has given way in favor of switches - the result is quite impressive.
And there is, of course, a rather long technological list attached to everything that has been said so far.
You can choose here between several driving modes, 64 shades for interior lighting and a multimedia system that allows remote control and receiving information from the vehicle.
A very partial list.
The list of safety equipment is also long and it is possible to mention here another cushion between the driver and the passenger that makes its first appearance in the segment.
Beyond the conventional systems, the Tucson knows how to warn of traffic at the intersection, prevent a collision with a vehicle in the dead area, autonomous braking even when driving backwards, and more.
On the technical side, the Tucson gets a long line of propulsion systems.
Petrol, diesel, light electric boost, hybrid charged in combination with manual, dual-clutch or continuous gearboxes, depending on the version.
In Israel, it can be expected that the entry-level version will use the 2.0-liter engine combined with an automatic transmission.
Along with it, the launch of the model in Israel will be led by the supercharged 1.6L version combined with a DCT box.
These two are expected to further establish Hyundai's position in the domestic market.
