ENGINE
: The 2.0
liter CRDi engine of Tucson
is for those who want the
best of everything. The
performance, strength and
frugality of a diesel motor
together with quietness
& smoothness of petrol
is a reality , thanks to
the uniformly maintained
high pressure in common
rail of the 2.0L CRDi engine.The
power and torque are amazing
at 112 Ps & 25 kgm at
as low as 2000 rpm.
Transmission:
The 5 speed transmission
of Tucson demonstrates a
smooth & dynamic performance
and is high on durability
& convenient on maintenance.
Electronic
4-WD system
The electronic 4-WD
system of Tucson runs
the car in front wheel
drive ( 2 WD ) during
regular driving but when
the driving condition
changes, there is an automatic
delegation of upto 50%
of power to the rear wheels.
Compared with the mechanical
4-WD system , this system
has superior fuel efficiency
, conversion to 4 WD only
if necessary & excellent
response to off road driving
performance due to variably
controlled power distribution
by ECU.
4 WD
Lock mode
At
position 1 the car is
running under normal
condition & 4 WD
system maintains the
balance between the
most ideal power performance
and efficiency to realize
the cars maximum traction
At
position 2, While cornering
the center of gravity
of car starts shifting,
which affects traction.At
this point the system
automatically disperses
the power to each wheel
to maintain the optimal
grip.
At
position 3, the front
wheels are in slippery
situation during acceleration
, the system detects
this situation , putting
more power in the rear
wheels to achieve stable
traction.
Pressing
the 4-WD lock button
on the tough terrain
, the driving power
is equally distributed
to the front & rear
wheel.
The
4 WD lock keeps engaged
till the time the vehicle
does not exceed 40 kmph
speed. Removal of the
lock is demanded when
driving under normal
conditions.
Suspension
1
- L-Shaped lower arm
3 - Stabilizer bar
4 - Gas shock absorber with
zero crossing speed valve
FRONT
SUSPENSION :
The front McPherson Strut
Suspension and the Multi Link
Rear Suspension ensure when
in Tucson, you are oblivious
of the bumps and pot holes.
The suspension also improves
the stability of the car.
There are a whole lot of design
innovations like the stab
bar mounted on the strut that
enhances the ride comfort.
Pneumatic assisted hydraulic
double acting shock Absorbers
is another unique feature
which smoothens every jerk
so that you glide along the
road
A
- Lower cross member
B - Dual link geometry point
2 - Stablizer mounted in Strut
3 - Trailing arm
N.V.H
( Noise , Vibration , Harshness )
IMPROVED
WIND NOISE
To
keep the Noise, vibration
& Harshness levels low
& out of cabin, Multicurvatures
have been added to crucial
positions of the body floor
apart from the Sound proofing
material at multiple locations
in the body that minimizes
the noise , Strengthened and
Triple layer sealed door frame
blocks wind noise further.
Similar design innovations
like application of multi-curvature
shapes to various spots on
body floor instead of the
insulator helped in absorbing
& counter balancing the
vibrations arising from the
floor panel.
