The natural, flowing bodystyle of the 2012 Hyundai Tucson should give Dallas-Ft. Worth Hyundai drivers something to talk about. While it displays design features of Hyundai's new line-up, the 2012 Tucson's clean fluidic sculpture design makes it a clear standout from the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue. This year, the Hyundai Tucson is available in three trim levels: the GL, GLS and the Limited. The GL carries a 2.0-liter Theta II four-cylinder engine that generates 165 hp and 146 pound-feet of torque, plenty for city driving and light off-road duty. A Variable Intake System and Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing transmission are just two of the high-technology features that help the Tucson's engine display its athletic abilities. Inside the engine, a diamond-like coating is used to improve overall fuel economy and reduce parts friction. All of those elements combine to give the 2012 Hyundai Tucson a fuel economy rating of 23 mpg city and 31 mpg highway for automatic models. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, but all models can be equipped with an automatic transmission that features SHIFTRONIC manual control.

Tucson GLS and Limited models come standard with a 2.4-liter version of the Theta II four-cylinder. This larger, more powerful engine is near the front of its class for power, giving the Tucson 176 hp and 168 pound-feet of torque. An optional electronic AWD system for the Tucson GLS and Limited is available and automatically activates to transfer power to all four wheels when you need it most. A locking function pins the torque split at 50/50 between the rear and front axles, which is very helpful when facing less than favorable driving conditions. The 2012 Hyundai Tucson comes standard with Downhill Brake Control and Hillstart Assist Control, two items normally reserved for the top trim level or more expensive compact SUVs. Downhill Brake Control utilizes the antilock brake system to control the vehicle's speed when traveling downhill, while Hillstart Assist Control helps in preventing rollback on hills when parking.
Safety is a major priority for the 2012 Tucson, and high-strength steel is in place for better crash performance. Additionally, Electronic Stability Control comes standard, giving Dallas-Ft. Worth Hyundai Tucson commuters greater control with no additional effort from the driver. MacPherson struts up front ensure a responsive suspension, while a multilink arrangement holds the rear. Gas-charged shock absorbers and coil springs are paired with the rear and front stabilizer bars for a more calculable cornering response. 2012 Hyundai Tucson Limited models come equipped with Sachs Amplitude Selective Dampers for a supple ride that doesn't inhibit performance. Brand-new features for 2012 include low-rolling resistance tires for better fuel economy and an Active Eco system that minutely adjusts the response of the engine and transmission for a smoother drive.
The 2012 Tucson's interior holds plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike. A 60/40 folding rear seat is standard and folds down for an even larger storage area, giving drivers over 50 cubic feet of space in back. Additionally, the Tucson's interior is made from quality materials and uses the latest in-car technologies like Bluetooth, ambient lighting and optional touch-screen navigation. The controls in the cabin are simple to use and laid out in an easy-to-understand manner. Standard interior features in the Tucson GLS include leatherette/cloth combination seating, keyless entry, climate control, cruise control, steering-wheel audio controls and heated front seats on the GLS AWD model. The 2012 Hyundai Tucson Limited comes equipped with leather seating and power adjustable, heated seats. A panoramic sunroof is optional, but Dallas-Ft. Worth Hyundai Tucson drivers will enjoy all of the standard luxury features of the GLS with the addition of an auto-dimming mirror with Homelink, foglamps, automatic temperature control, automatic headlamps and 18-inch alloy wheels. The 2012 Hyundai Tucson has kept up with the latest technological fads, including an optional navigation and rearview camera system. Tucsons with navigation come equipped with a 6.5-inch color LCD touchscreen to control the user-friendly system, and can respond to vocal cues from the driver. Navigation also comes with a 360-watt sound system including Bluetooth, a CD player, and the already standard iPod, USB and auxiliary input jacks.
No matter the trim level, the driver can be assured that the 2012 Hyundai Tucson features fantastic value and amenities that are normally reserved for much more expensive SUVs. In the compact crossover market, the Tucson comes out ahead of the pack with all of the best features, equaling greater long-term value.
