SUV and hybrid: two well-established market trends
As always during Hyundai's beautiful online press conferences, there is room for a part of analysis of the reference market of the new model presented. Speaking of Tucson, the focus shifts to the most successful segment today, that of a SUV.
Il automotive market, after the decline at the beginning of the year due to the global situation, has seen an encouraging ascent at the levels (not exceptional to tell the truth) of 2019 in the second half. This allowed the fund to close the year with a 30% decrease. Certainly, but not as disastrous as the forecasts said.
In such a waning market situation, there are however two segments that have increased their sales volumes: SUVs and hybrid cars.
The SUV and Crossover market
SUV and Crossover, as we all know, they are the driving force behind the automotive market. In 2020, these two segments reached impressive market share of 42%. As for the C-SUVs, the segment of SUVs and medium crossovers of which the Tucson Hyundai is part, the market share "drops" to 41%, with as many as 300.000 vehicles sold.
This means that almost half of the midsize cars sold in Italy are SUVs. It is therefore a huge market, with impressive growth margins. To date it is already estimated that in 2021 the share will grow to 42%, up to 45% if all SUV segments are considered.
The hybrid car market
Together with the "raised" vehicles, the market share of “eco” cars, ie the hybrid car segment, is also growing che comprende Mild Hybrid, Full Hybrid e Plug-In Hybrid. The increase in sales of these car models was exponential, having a growth of over 200% and a market share of 20% of the entire car market in 2020. A growth that does not seem to stop, with estimates that speak of the 27% market share by 2021, to the detriment of pure diesel, less and less chosen by consumers.
Talking about the Previous Hyundai Tucson, the current model out of production has totaled, in 2020, 6.268 registrations, or 2,8% of the market. A very interesting number that places the vehicle at the 13th place in the ranking of the best-selling C-SUVs. An excellent result for an SUV model with 7 years of life
However, Hyundai is not satisfied and is aiming for reach the Top 5 with the new Tucson by 2021, with a market share of at least 5%. Like? Focusing on three factors: a unique and breaking aesthetic, modern technological solutions and the most electrified range of the C-SUV panorama.
Hyundai Tucson 2021: aesthetics and design
Let's start fromaesthetics by Hyundai Tucson 2021. Compared to the old Tucson there is absolutely no connection: if it weren't for the logo and name, the two SUVs wouldn't even seem distant relatives. After three generations (the first in 2002, the second in 2009 and the third in 2013) which have focused on an evolution of the "mature and rational car" concept, the new Hyundai Tucson 2021 focuses on emotionality and on the uniqueness of its lines.
As we have already seen on the i20, which we tested a few weeks ago, the lines have become aggressive, scratchy, very original and personal. The front is literally dominated by a huge grill to say the least, hallmark of the new design language Parametric Dynamics, with geometric lines that give strength and vitality to the car's design.
Front
The grid dominates a very decisive and personal front and hides the optical groups with its “parametric jewels” pattern. Yes, you got it right. THE The headlights of the new Tucson are embedded within the grille and are made up of 5 points of light, strictly LED, per side. A new, breaking solution, which gives a immediate wow effect especially when the light goes down.
Side
Turning around the Tucson C-SUV you immediately notice that the front is not the only original part of the car. The side is very lively, with chiseled and modeled surfaces that follow the criterion of “Sensuous Sportiness”, which according to Hyundai means giving dynamism and sportiness to the car.
posteriore
Il back it does not let itself be intimidated by the other parts of the car, and indeed it raises in terms of originality. At the rear, the optical groups formed by two vertical elements and joined by a striscia to full width, which follows the trend of recent years. There is also a generous rear spoiler which hides the windshield wiper and a aluminum-colored diffuser which tries to lighten the lines of the car a little. Nice then the rear window with the Hyundai logo embedded in the smooth glass.
The aesthetic result is acar definitely out of the box and different from all the others. As with the i20, Hyundai Tucson should look more beautiful in real life than in photos, where these haunted lines can seem a bit heavy. We hope to meet you soon to corroborate our thesis.
New Hyundai Tucson: technological interior and lots of space
On the outside it was revolution, but Hyundai Tucson 2021 changes everything even inside. If in fact the previous Tucson, albeit well made, was all too rational and perhaps a bit boring, we can assure you that there is very little in the interior of the new model already seen.
New Hyundai Tucson: interior
The Hyundai Tucson interior welcomes the driver with a technological but well-kept environment. There are two screens, both 10,25 inches. The first is that of the digital instrument cluster, similar to that seen on Hyundai i20, but with more information and features. The second, on the other hand, is the central one that commands theinfotainment BlueLink, and offers both Apple Car Play and Android Auto wirelessly. Below the central screen we find then a series of keys, all soft touch, to manage the climate and other functions on board.
The dashboard lines are lively and original, just like those of the exterior design, and the solution of the screen stands out "floating" digital instrument cluster, i.e. without a protective lid, like some electric cars.
Another novelty that Hyundai considers really important is the replacement of the classic air vents with others of the indirect type. In practice, as on Tesla Model 3, the air conditioning comes out of thin and full-width slots on the dashboard. The air flow is directed already out of the vent, and allows a better propagation of cold (or hot) air inside the passenger compartment.
La quality of couplings and materials, which was already one of Tucson's strengths, it has risen further, as has the space available.
Hyundai Tucson: dimensions
If externally Hyundai Tucson 2021 adds 4,5 cm of length to get to 4,50 m tondi tondi, the pitch increases by 10 mm instead. A number that does not seem very important, but which, combined with a perfectly optimized use of space, gives plenty of space for rear passengers.
New Hyundai Tucson: trunk
The surprise, however, is in the trunk. The liters are 616, over 100 more than the previous Tucson, for a capacity at the top of the category.
ADAS
There are also the most important ADAS. We have a very complete equipment: Highway Driving Assist, automatic emergency braking with cyclists and pedestrians, Adaptive Cruise Control and many others. The most interesting, however, is the Blind Spot Monitor. No, it's not a typo. In fact, with Monitor we mean a technology different from the usual LED for the blind corner.
Taking up a solution that debuted on American Hyundai like Telluride, Hyundai Tucson 2021 has two cameras that point right into the two blind spots. When you put the arrow, instead of the speedometer or tachometer (depending on the "selected" side) an image of what is in your blind spot appears. A solution with a simple but very interesting and innovative concept. Who knows that we will not find it on other cars of other brands in the future.
Mechanics Hyundai Tucson 2021: password polyhedral
We come to talk about mechanics, because here too the new Tucson surprises. The platform has remained unchanged from the past, but Hyundai Tucson 2021 alongside the proven petrol and diesel offers a whole series of electrified engines, becoming one of the most complete C-SUVs from this point of view. The range of engines consists of a mild hybrid petrol, a “pure” diesel and two hybrids.
Petrol and diesel engines
The petrol engine is the new one 1.6 T-GDI SmartStream with CVVD technology for 150hp valve lift, coupled to the sistema mild hybrid 48V already seen on the i20, and available with both the 7-speed dual-clutch DCT automatic transmission with both the new iMT gearbox, also already known on the i20.
At the base of the range Diesel instead there is the well-known engine 1.6 CRDi da 115 CV with classic manual gearbox. A little more on the version will arrive around April 1.6 ma mild hybrid with 136 hp, which we have already seen on the current Tucson.
Hybrid engines
So far everything is known (or almost). The news is coming now: they are also making their debut two new hybrid engines based on the 1.6 T-GDI petrol engine. In fact, let's talk about the versions HEV (la Hybrid) and PHEV (la Plug-in Hybrid) at Hyundai Tucson 2021.
The Full Hybrid it has a system similar to that seen on the Ioniq and Kona Hybrid, with therefore a fairly powerful electric motor to help the internal combustion engine. Here though the approximately 60 HP electric motor is coupled to the 1.6 turbo engine and a 1,3 kW battery. We then arrive at one total power of 230 hp. The motor is coupled to a classic automatic transmission with 6-speed torque converter and is available in both front and all-wheel drive.
About the version Plug-in hybrid instead the battery reaches a capacity of 13,8 kW, while the electric motor touches 91 HP. The autonomy in electric mode is around 50 km, and the power becomes well 265 CV total.
The performances are very interesting for both hybrids: 0-100 km / h in 8 seconds for the HEV (8,3 for the all-wheel drive version), with the Plug-In with superior performance but not yet formalized.
Hyundai Tucson 2021: prices and availability
All that remains is to talk about prices. Hyundai Tucson 2021 is offered starting from 29.300 euro with 1.6 HP 150 T-GDI engine, iMT intelligent manual gearbox and XLine trim.
There are three trim levels. At the "base" there is theXTech, already very equipped (cruise control, digital instrument panel and 8-inch infotainment with Apple Car Play and Android Auto). The three-zone climate, also rare as an option on rival cars, is not lacking from this set-up.
Going up in level we find theXLine andeXcellence, with standard and optional equipment that is always superior and luxurious. To switch to motorization Diesel from 115 hp you have to take into account a price of 30.750 €while for the HEV hybrid version with two-wheel drive starts at a cost of 33.350 euros.
At the top of the range at the moment we find the 1.6 T-GDI HEV with all-wheel drive and eXellence set-up, proposed for 39.550 euros.
Promotions and offers
The prices of the Hyundai Tucson are in line with the competition and embellished with a nice standard equipment. However, Hyundai Tucson 2021 also offers one launch discount (net of trade-in or scrapping) of 4.250 euros, which rise to 4.750 for the HEV.
Then there are the now inevitable offers for financing and rental. Taking advantage of the Hyundai i-Plus financing, for example, with an advance of 9.000 euros you can take home a Hyundai Tucson 2021 hybrid HEV in the XLine version with installments starting from 289 euros per month. On the other hand, by renting with BeMobility with an advance of about 8 thousand euros, a monthly fee of 339 euros, including, as usual, insurance, road tax and all car management expenses.

Tucson: N-Line and PHEV version in 2021
Hyundai Tucson 2021 can be ordered in Hyundai dealerships and on the Hyundai Cl! Ck to Buy online platform. The new Tucson SUV has already been chosen by over 2500 “piggyback” customers.
For now, the range consists of the 1.6 turbo gasoline mild hybrid, the hybrid HEV and the 1.6 diesel, with the three starting configurations. The 2021V mild hybrid version of the 48 diesel will arrive in 1.6, the highly anticipated hybrid Plug-In, the PHEV, and the now inevitable N-Line set up. With sportier, more aggressive and more aggressive lines, according to Hyundai it will be the set-up that most completes Tucson's out-of-the-box lines.
By the middle of next year, therefore, the Hyundai Tucson 2021 range will be complete. Next year we should also be able to test this very interesting SUV.
In a segment much loved by the public but a bit conservative in its proposals, Hyundai Tucson 2021 differs, focusing on technology, hybrid engines and as much character on the outside as on the inside. Will it be the right recipe? The market will tell us soon, and we can't wait to try it out to tell you how it goes.
