Its handling should be decent too, due to power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and MacPherson struts with coil springs up front and a trailing arm with multi-link and coil springs in the rear. Both front and rear setups include hydraulic shock absorbers and an anti-roll bar.

The Tucson will arrive with standard 4-wheel disc brakes, unusual for this segment, with sophisticated 4-channel, 4-sensor ABS optional. Electronic traction control will also be on the options list, with standard 16-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels on 215/65R-16 tires helping out in the grip department. Optional 6-spoke alloys with 235/60R-16 BF Goodrich tires are available.

But the SUV's expected driving dynamics aren't all that impresses with the Tucson, its long list of standard features should also set it apart from rivals when it comes to value. Air conditioning is reported to be standard, as will be power windows and door locks, a remote keyless entry alarm system, a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system, heated outside rear view mirrors, tinted glass, roof rack side rails, and a rear intermittent wiper, plus safety features that include seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the driver and front seat passenger and side curtain airbags for all outboard occupants.
Order the Tucson with a V6 and add on a tire pressure warning system and a convenient windshield de-icer.
