C'est quoi ? Le remplaçant du Santa Fe ?

:-ozzzZZ
:P

Ça vient se placer sous le Santa Fe... mais c'est aussi laid

[BedZ]

Pourquoi, en 2004, les constructeurs nous proposent encore des intérieurs bruns!?!?!?

Je déteste vraiment le brun dans les voitures (oui oui, à part du beau cuir)

:roll:

La mise en vente du Tucson est prévue aux État-Unis pour le mois d'août prochain. Sa compétition directe sont les Toyota Rav4 et le Honda CR-V.

Un moteur V6 et la traction intégrale seront disponibles en option sur ce Baby Santa Fe .

Je le trouve pas si mal. Beaucoup mieux réussi que son grand frère, le Santa Fe que je n'ai jamais aimé en raison de son look Mickey Mouse .

Les ailes ainsi que les bas de caisse en plastique de couleur anthracite qui prolongent les pare-chocs n'enjolive en rien le Tucson sur les photos. Le coup d'oeil va être plus agréable avec un agencement aux couleurs de la carrosserie.

Personnellement, je le trouve pas mal cute, du moins, de l'extérieur. Il fait très moderne

L'intérieur brun n'est pas super cependant. Espérons qu'on puisse aussi l'avoir dans le gris!

Savez-vous combien ils vont demander pour la version 4 cyl ?!?
18 000 - 19 000$ ?!?

[Numéro 3]

Avec ses lignes plus pures, je le trouve mieux réussi que le Santa Fe, qui à mon goût, affiche des lignes pour le moins tortueuses. La première fois que j'en ai vu un, je croyais qu'il s'était fait "hitter" dans la portière arrière.

La question que je me pose est: Va-t-il y avoir des éléments du défunt Kia Sportage dans ce nouveau SUV???

Very unlikely, c'est basé sur une plateforme d'Élantra avec une mécanique d'Élantra.

HYUNDAI EXPANDS LINE WITH ALL-NEW TUCSON SUV






Chicago, February 4, 2004 … Continuing to expand its model line in the United States, Hyundai today introduced the Tucson sport utility vehicle at the Chicago Auto Show. The vehicle is the company’s first entry into the small SUV segment. The Tucson is smaller than Hyundai’s hot-selling Santa Fe SUV and will go on sale late this summer in the United States.

“The new Hyundai Tucson is a value-packed SUV that will complement the buyer’s active lifestyles,” said Hyundai Motor America’s President and CEO Robert F. Cosmai. “Tucson has all the features buyers have come to expect from Hyundai and it’s covered by America’s Best Warranty, The Hyundai Advantage which includes the 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.”

The four-door Tucson is the second Hyundai sport utility vehicle to be named after a city in the southwestern U.S.

2005 Hyundai Tucson Preview

Tucson styling provides a masculine, athletic appearance and delivers lots of utility. As Hyundai’s newest SUV, the Tucson is designed to be a versatile companion to the buyer’s lifestyle and to provide the best value in the market place in equipment, style, image and value.

The Tucson features a spacious, well-configured interior that provides
lots of room and comfort for the driver and passengers and all their cargo. The Tucson also provides a large, versatile and durable cargo area with fold-flat rear seats, and folding front passenger seat. The seat can be folded forward to provide extra storage room or a workspace for the driver. It can also be fully reclined as a seat. The rear mat is removable and exposes a durable, easy-to-clean plastic floor with multiple tie down locations for everyone’s “gear.”

Since January 2003, all Hyundai vehicles manufactured for sale in the U.S. are fitted with side-impact airbags as standard equipment. The Tucson carries on this tradition of safety. The Tucson is equipped with a total of six airbags; driver and passenger front airbags, driver and passenger side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags for both front and rear seat occupants.

:arrow: Tucson buyers can select from two engines. The base model GL features Hyundai’s proven 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine fitted with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) matched to a 5-speed manual transmission or available Shiftronic automatic transmission.

:arrow: Hyundai’s 2.7-liter DOHC V6 is standard on the GLS and LX models and it is matched to the Shiftronic automatic transmission. The 2.7-liter V6 as used in the Tucson is fitted with a variable length, tuned intake system for smoother delivery of power across the entire rev band. Four-wheel-drive is available with either engine.

Tucson uses the state-of-the-art Borg-Warner Electronic InterActive Torque Management four-wheel-drive system that routes up to 99 percent of the available power to the front wheels. As road conditions or torque demand changes, the system automatically diverts up to 50 percent of the available power to the rear wheels. The system monitors throttle position, front wheel angle and slippage.

As surface conditions change, power is automatically routed to the wheels with the best traction. There is also a dashboard-mounted 4WD lock button that allows the driver to manually “lock” the driveline into 4WD for a 50/50 torque split.

Standard features on the Tucson include: four-wheel disc brakes, 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the driver and front seat passenger, side-impact protection (side curtain airbags) for the front seat and rear-seat passengers and remote keyless entry alarm system. Additional standard features include: heated outside rear view mirrors, front windshield de-icer (V6 only), tinted glass, roof rack side rails, rear intermittent wiper,
tire pressure warning system (V6 only), AM/FM/CD stereo system with six speakers and more.

Available features include leather seating surfaces, anti-lock brakes and ABS with traction control. A power sunroof with tilt is also available along with front-seat warmers, fog lamps, remote keyless entry with alarm, AM/FM/Cassette/MP3 with six speakers (standard on GLS), AM/FM/Cassette/CDC with six speakers and woofer (standard on LX), roof rack cross rails and rear privacy glass.

The new Hyundai Tucson is designed to compete with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander. It is expected to be on sale later in 2004 as a 2005 model.

Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company of Korea. Hyundai cars and sport utility vehicles are distributed in the U.S. by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced by more than 625 dealers nationwide.

Il est vraiment beau...du moins pour un petit SUV. Sa fait changement de CR-V que je trouve vraiment fade avec ses lumiere style volvo a l'arriere :lol: . J'en prendrai bien un bleu avec le petit moteur VVT et la transmission manuelle...

[DisturbedPO]

Et selon vous le prix ?

[church44]

la version de base 4 cylindres....22K...!?!?!?

[DisturbedPO]

J'aurais pensé qu'il aurait été un peu moins cher que l'actuel Santa Fé car il est moins gros..

De plus, il est basé sur une Élantra alors que la Santa Fé est basé sur une Sonata si je me trompe pas..

En tk!
J'ai bien hâte de le voir sur la route!
J'aime bien les petits SUV, je vais magasiner pour ça d'ici 1 an..

CHICAGO -- Hyundai Motor America is that hoping a high profile ad campaign that debuts during the summer Olympics will help get the new Tucson compact sport-utility off to a fast start.

The Tucson, about the size of a Pontiac Vibe, made its world debut at the Chicago Auto Show Wednesday.

:arrow: The vehicle will be priced between $17,000 and $22,000 when it goes on sale in July, said Hyundai Motor America CEO Bob Cosmai.

Hyundai is hoping for sales of 18,000 units in 2004 and between 40,000 and 50,000 sales per year after that. Hyundai will hit the television airwaves during the Olympics to push the Tucson, while at the same time advertising the vehicle in more than 30 magazines. Cosmai would not say how much Hyundai will spend to launch the vehicle this summer.

Tucson will enable Hyundai to move the Sante Fe SUV up market, by making it larger, offering more equipment and a bigger engine. Cosmai said Hyundai will drop the four-cylinder base model version of the Sante Fe this summer.

:arrow: Tucson will be offered with two engines. The base GL model uses the 140-horsepower, 2.0-liter overhead-cam engine from the Tiburon sport coupe. GLS and LX model will come with Hyundai's 173-horsepower, 2.7-liter V-6.

:arrow: The four-cylinder engine will be available with a five-speed manual transmission, but the V-6 will be offered only with an automatic. Four-wheel drive will be optional on both engines and all models.

Ed Bradley, Hyundai's vice president of sales, said Tucson's main competitors will be the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4, neither of which offer a V-6 engine. The Ford Escape, the best selling compact SUV, does have an optional V-6.

Tucson's interior takes advantage of one of the recent trends in interiors, more function, but ignores another: the push to make instrument panels more luxurious. The rea seats fold completely flat without having to remove the headrests. However, Tucson's dash was made of hard plastic, and the faux metal did not have a very appealing appearance.

Bradley said the vehicle on display is a production version. Tucson goes on sale this spring in Korea, where it will only be offered with a diesel engine. Hyundai officials would not say if the U.S. version would eventually get the diesel.



Ainsi donc, l'échelle de prix se situera entre $17000 et $22000 (US) lorsque le Tucson arrivera dans les salles de montre en juillet prochain.
2 moteurs seront disponibles: le 2.0 litres de 140 chevaux pour le Tucson GL emprunté à la Tiburon et le V6 2.7 litres de 173 chevaux pour les version GLS et LX.

la version de base 4 cylindres....22K...!?!?!?

Ils ne peuvent pas demander 22K pour le modèle de base car le Santa Fe se vend déjà 21095$ pour le modèle de base. Je verrais plus 19k pour le prix de base à moins que Hyundai à l'intention de dropper les versions 4 cyl. de son Santa Fe.
