The Hyundai Tucson has quickly become a favorite among SUV shoppers in Memphis, and it's easy to see why. This stylish crossover offers the perfect blend of space, performance, technology, and amenities that local drivers are looking for. Here are the top five reasons why the new Hyundai Tucson is such a hit in the Bluff City.
1. Spacious and Versatile Interior
Despite its compact footprint, the Hyundai Tucson offers a surprisingly roomy cabin with plenty of space for both passengers and cargo. The Tucson's thoughtfully designed interior can comfortably seat up to five, with ample legroom and headroom even for taller passengers. And when you need to haul extra gear, the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatbacks expand the cargo area up to 61.9 cubic feet, making the Tucson ready for everything from grocery runs to weekend getaways.
Memphis families will especially appreciate the Tucson's spacious and practical interior. Whether you're packing up for a day at Shelby Farms Park or a road trip to the Smokies, the Hyundai Tucson has room for all your passengers and gear.
2. Peppy and Efficient Performance
The Hyundai Tucson delivers lively acceleration and nimble handling that makes it fun to drive around town and on twisty backroads. Most Tucson models are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing a spirited 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, while HTRAC all-wheel drive is available for enhanced traction and control.
In addition to its peppy performance, the Tucson is also remarkably fuel-efficient, helping you save money at the pump as you cruise around Memphis. With front-wheel drive, the Tucson achieves an EPA-estimated 29 MPG combined. Even with all-wheel drive, the Tucson still gets up to 27 MPG combined.
3. High-End Features and Amenities
The Hyundai Tucson may be categorized as a compact SUV, but it offers big premium appeal thanks to its high-end features and amenities. Memphis drivers will enjoy available luxuries like leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging pad, and a hands-free smart liftgate.
Other upscale amenities available on the Tucson include an eight-way power driver seat with two-way power lumbar, dual automatic temperature control with CleanAir Ionizer, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, and a premium Bose audio system. With so many premium features on offer, the Tucson feels like a much more expensive vehicle.
4. Advanced Infotainment Technology
The Hyundai Tucson comes loaded with cutting-edge infotainment technology to keep you connected, entertained, and on track wherever you drive in Memphis. At the heart of the Tucson's tech is a vibrant touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. This makes it easy to access your music, messages, maps, and more right from the vehicle's central screen.
Available on higher Tucson trims is a premium eight-speaker Bose sound system that surrounds you in rich, studio-quality audio. The top-tier Tucson Limited also features a high-resolution 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system and Qi wireless device charging. With the Tucson's advanced infotainment tech, long drives will be a breeze.
