Rejuvenated 2020 Hyundai Tucson gets a boost in safety

Hyundai has refreshed the popular Tucson range for MY2020, bringing a raft of additional safety, comfort and style enhancements, as well as the introduction of a new Active variant.

Key safety upgrade includes a camera-based Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) City/Urban system with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) for automatic versions of the range-opening Active variant (replacing the Go entry variant), as well as for the Tucson Active X, as part of the Hyundai SmartSense safety suite.

The 2020 Tucson Elite and Highlander variants feature a more advanced camera and radar-based version of the FCA system with Pedestrian Detection function.

As part of the range-wide refresh, Hyundai has also streamlined the Tucson range to four trim levels, kicking off with the Tucson Active. It now features a rear park-assist system, 17-inch alloy wheels, leather-appointed steering wheel and gear knob, and one-touch auto up/down function for the driver’s window.

The Active X adds Hyundai’s SmartSense safety suite, including Driver Attention Warning, Lane Keeping Assist and 18-inch alloy wheels.

“The 2020 Tucson line-up builds strongly on our best-selling SUV’s appeal, starting with the new entry-level Active models, offering generous comfort, convenience and safety features as standard,” said Hyundai Motor Company Australia CEO, Mr JW Lee.
