What’s not?

• This top spec high-powered diesel is unlikely to be a big seller, but a sky-high price will undoubtedly deter potential buyers.

• It’s high CO2 and low mpg rating also means a BIK rating of 32% will dissuade company cars buyers from investigating further especially when rivals are offer cheaper monthly tax bills.

• One of the Tucson’s biggest flaws dynamically is the steering. It’s too light and relays no discernable feedback to the driver as to what the car is doing beneath you.

Verdict on the Hyundai Tucson?

Hyundai has expertise in this market and it clearly shows with the new Tucson. Buyers will be drawn in with its handsome looks and bowled over by the amount of kit and space it has to offer inside.

This top spec four-wheel drive diesel model will be of little interest to company car drivers but with the right engine and trim, Hyundai has came up with a model that will undoubtedly exceed in this busy market.
