Fun to drive.

In 2012, the athletic form of Tucson is complemented by agile handling and very responsive. Tucson uses MacPherson struts and multi-link rear suspension systems for more precise control of the wheels and a smoother ride. All four wheels are controlled by coil springs and shock absorbers fade-resistant gas charged. The front suspension has a hollow stabilizer bar 25 mm to save weight, while the rear suspension has a bar 18 mm solid stabilizer. Larger stabilizer bars to keep the vehicle flat during cornering and provide very rapid turnover in response. Steering rack and pinion power motor (PDM) also contributes to Tucson agile and refined driving dynamics, while saving fuel and reducing cabin noise. Finally, the GLS and Limited models now have an upgrade price to travel through sophisticated Sachs dampers.

Since the suspension geometry and wider track, which allows greater turn angles, turning circle is 34.7 meters of Tucson - Tucson Drivers will appreciate the advantage of their daily driving and parking. In fact, turning diameter Records Tucson Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

All the time.

To make it even more versatile Tucson, Hyundai engineers added an advanced electronic system designed by JTEKT AWD. The AWD system is automatically activated in any driving condition when necessary, equitable distribution of power and performance optimization of behavior. In normal driving, the system distributes power to the front wheels, reducing fuel consumption. The system includes a driver-selectable lock in a 50/50 torque distribution between front and rear wheels for AWD off-road conditions very slippery.

For even more driver control, the 2012 Hyundai Tucson has Hillstart Assist Control (HAC) and Downhill Brake Control (DBC). CDT is designed to minimize rolling backward on steep ascents. By selecting the DBC switch, the electronic control unit manages the sensors Hydro-wheel speed, steering angle sensor and acceleration sensor to maintain control and speed in a decrease in slope, without having to use the brake. None of these features are available on the CR-V, Rogue, RAV4 and Escape and are usually found in luxury SUV much higher prices.

If necessary, ESC brakes individual front or rear wheels and / or reduces engine power to help correct understeer or oversteer. The braking system features four disc brakes controlled by advanced four-channel ABS Brake Assist, providing maximum braking force to stop the panic is detected, and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) optimizes braking performance of the irregular distribution of weight.

The Tucson is designed to provide its passengers with multiple defensive layers of security. The steel unibody has integrated crumple zones and a high-strength front sub-frame designed to work together to reduce the forces that typically reach the passenger compartment. Particular attention is given to increase the rigidity of the front spar, which are enlarged and straightened. Serve as the central pillars of the anchor points of a new ring structure which improves the rigidity Page global structure while providing more space for the door armrests and the seat. All four doors also have internal guard beams to protect occupants in side impact.

The whole body was achieved by rigid and lighter in his extensive use of steel ultra-high tensile strength, including 68.9 percent of the shell. Moreover, the use of tailor-welded blanks (TWB) has expanded on the main structural elements. TWB assemblies combine steels of different thicknesses and qualities using an advanced laser welding and stamping process to achieve optimum rigidity on the weight. TWBs reduce weight while increasing crash energy management. These security systems have made Tucson the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for 2010 and 2011 model years.
