Do you know the towing capacity of the tucson has been reduced to 600kg bracked. How do you go around nsw? You must sleep in hotels. Great car if you only drive around town.

How can you hire a 4×4 more cheaper than hyundai not providing a comparable towing capacity? It has the worst towing capacity of any car of it’s size in the world?
These cars will not last if they can’t stand up to minor towing.
You sound like a hyundai salesman.

Too add,

The Tuscan also is an auto, a V6, 1600kg awd and ran with aircon on in completely luxury so, double the fuel consumption, sounds reasonable and acceptable.
On the highway at 100km/h was revving at roughly 2250.
At 60 its around 1250, depends on putting ur foot down and downshifting if u get to a hill or wish to accelerate,
am yet to play with the selectronic side of it to lock it into a gear n see if it accelerates reasonable anyway without downshifting.

Cheers.

Hi,
Purchased a 2007 Tuscan V6 Elite awd just now, even after reading all these forums about the cars.
Car looks great, extremely low Kms, was cheap, maybe they didnt like it?? Anyway, so far am extremely happy with it and so is the other half.
Keep poking around and waiting for things to crop up or appear that I dont like or have read about.
All good so far, Yes it does use more fuel then our little 5 door 5 speed man 1.3 Charade we had, but then almost every other car does. (Was never impressed with the fuel economy from those hybrid cars..they had nothing on the charade. Charade got 20km to the litre hwy n didnt use much more fuel when in the city)
Tuscan Used roughly double the amount of fuel for the same trip, only we didnt have oil leaks or slipping clutch, clunking suspension or lack of power for hills.
We do like all the gadgets, very handy fuel range display.
Cumfy seats, great interior, heaps of room, just compact enough to get down the side of our house n under the carport..just. Couldnt get a bigger car…need the turning circle, need the wheelbase, need the car length to be no longer then it is. No wider either or taller.
We were offered a brand new Greatwall X240 for the same price ($19,000) but shied away from it, was way too big n wow it really drank the go juice
So Cheers,
Lee.

Hi,
I purchased a Hyundai Tucson V6 in June 2009, handling, comfort and rear seat room is good, what I am not happy with is the shocking fuel consumpsion, brakes do not appear to pull you up properly and when I accelarate up a hill I get a strong egg gas smell. Have taken to the dealer but they were no help, I rang Hyundai who’s professional answer was to get a second opinion. Has anyone else had similiar problems with their Tucson?
