CarTell.tv reviews the 2019 Hyundai Tucson in the mid-range Active X trim with the diesel engine in Australia. The facelift brings a new front grille, revised lighting signatures and some interior updates to keep the Tucson competitive in the crowded medium SUV segment. The Active X diesel pairs a 2.0-litre CRDi engine producing 130kW and 400Nm with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard.
The Tucson lineup spans four grades from Go through to Highlander, with the Active X sitting in the middle of the range and offering a good balance of specification and value. Standard items at this grade include an eight-inch touchscreen, rear-view camera and a suite of active safety technology. The interior is practical with good rear-seat space and a usable boot that suits families and active lifestyles.
The 2019 Tucson facelift refreshes an already solid family SUV and the diesel drivetrain suits buyers after strong towing capability and lower fuel consumption over longer distances. Hyundai's five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty and capped-price servicing support the case for ownership.
