"This is yet another illustration of the quality, durability and reliability built into every new Hyundai product," commented Steve
Kelleher, President and CEO of Hyundai Auto Canada. "With its innovative flexibility, abundant safety features and classy styling, the award-winning Hyundai Tucson is a class-leading, value-packed compact SUV that meshes with the active lifestyles of Canadian consumers."
The Tucson's price rose slightly from a class-lowest $19,995 (shared with its Kia Sportage platform mate) upon its arrival earlier this year as a 2005 model, to $20,595 as a 2006 model, thanks to the addition of standard antilock brakes. Its price is still the lowest in the industry, nudging out Kia's $20,665 Sportage by $70.
For that MSRP the Tucson offers a host of standard features in addition to ABS, highlighted by traction and electronic stability control - impressive for the compact SUV segment. It's fit, finish and materials quality is also top rate for the class, on-pavement performance quite respectable, and obviously from this report, the Tucson's off-pavement performance is also impressive.
