The new Tucson range will feature a two-wheel drive model
Hyundai has revealed its revised Tucson line-up for 2009 includes an all-new two-wheel drive model at the same price as a compact family hatchback.
The cost of this new model will be £14,695, which will include Hyundai's standard five-year unlimited mileage warranty.
The entry-level 2.0 Comfort model comes with air conditioning, auxiliary and USB audio connections, privacy glass, body-coloured bumpers and trim, electric windows all-round, front fog lights, roof rails and 16-inch alloy wheels.
It will be powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine, producing 139 bhp and running at a fuel economy rate of 35.3 mpg.
With a five-speed manual gearbox, the Comfort goes from 0-60 mph in 10.4 seconds, with a top speed of 112 mph.
The two-wheel drive layout is also available with a 148 bhp CRDi engine and a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions.
The new 2009 model year Tucsons can be distinguished by some visual changes, such as a new-look radiator grille, rear number plate surround and modified instrument cluster on all models.
Four-wheel drive Tucsons also remain available, priced at £17,695 for the Style model and £18,695 for the Premium, both with six-speed manual gearboxes.
