The changes were enough for a solid finish in the top three of our 2019 Compact SUV Challenge that compared seven redesigned or refreshed 2019 models. You can read more about that comparison by following the Challenge link above.
Standard on all 2019 Hyundai Tucsons is a front collision system with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection. The second-level Value trim adds a standard blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. And newly optional are adaptive cruise control, a driver attention warning and automatic high beams. Tucson also raised its 2019 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rating to Top Safety Pick Plus with a headlight improvement in March 2019.
Under the hood, the base engine for the two lowest trim levels continues in 2019 to be a 161-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. But newly standard on all other models is a 181-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder and six-speed automatic.
Tech upgrades include a new multimedia system that sits tablet-style atop a restyled dashboard. And newly optional are wireless phone charging, USB power for the backseat and a 360-degree camera system.
