New Hyundai Tucson news presence in the homeland very Santer sounded. One of them, carrying on AUTOMOTIVE last issue concerning the two variants that will appear in Indonesia. So, no need to think long exclusive meeting invitations from PT Hyundai Mobil Indonesia (HMI) for a little national journalists option to try it out directly in the neighboring country. Interesting first trip was adorned this SUV drives sleeker city of Singapore, crossed over to Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur and drove to Genting Highlands, Malaysia. What's it like?

In an AC system, equipped with sensors that Tucson will turn off the AC compressor at high speed. This looks at the 'MAX A / C'. If this button is pressed, then the AC will work fully. However, if disabled, compressor would die on certain conditions.
So also with the alternator. This current generation devices to work at the time of deceleration. So, there is a kind of electrical coupling in pulien which will be free when they're full acceleration. Bearing system to keep even though the gas was released. This feature is intended to allow more economical fuel consumption Tucson.
Toh, steady energy. Especially when it crossed into the Johor and crossing Lebuhraya (toll road) as far as 368 km to Kuala Lumpur. Transmission 6 Tucson acceleration was smooth, both when the kick down or moved manually through the lever steptronic model. Imperceptibly, even though Malaysia's speed limit is only 110 km / h, Tucson capable search up stuck electronically controlled top speed of 190 km / h,

Operation of the audio and AC pretty easy because the ergonomic position. Moreover there are buttons on the steering wheel audio controls. Quite easy and does not reduce the concentration of driving. Some features are quite different between the two cars. For example panoramic roof earlier.
