2016 Hyundai Tucson (3rd Generation)

I see the new Tucson will also be sporting 19 inch rims. Tire prices are insane for 19 inch rims in SA.

Not sure I want those 19"s considering our roads
 
Thanks. With all the hype I thought they had already put something out there :o

Just don't expect the same features that tuscon buyers will be getting at the the same price in other countries..

Entry price the around 360k
 
It might. It is worth a shot. It takes a bit of practice to get the right menu to show so give it a few tries and let us know

tried it... doesnt work... can get into the menus, but it only gives me a GEN mode and KOR mode...

quiet easy to get into it... just followed the instructions
 
So looking at it's direct competitor's prices (Kia Sportage) I have to ask myself - except for the 7yr warranty, why would I not just go and rather buy a Forrester?

At R360K, it puts the vehicle into the same category of many other similar make/models. Direct comparison between an X-Trail and ix35, and I would be pushed toward the X-Trail. Still it is a steep price.

Add to that a 7 year warranty ..... yeah I could do this

The 7 year warranty is a big bold statement, but I am not altogether convinced that it rewards the owner in the longer term.
 
I see lots of interest in the Tucson (Tuscon) then. Let's see what pricing is like in the next 2 months or so.

Salesman told me end of Feb....regardless, if so many of you want one then NO :mad: /RAGE QUIT
 
He has a "tux on"

Saw two now when going past Hyundai Milnerton branch. It's a properly looker...like really.

I'll go as far as to say arguably best in class. They done an excellent job on the exterior front.

Takes the new pig-face Sportage front behind on looks...(we all know mechanically it's the same car.

In the last round the Sportage was the looker vs ix35; this time around it's a different story.

Pricing is key...
 
I said in the beginning they would go back to Tucson............... Never liked these numbers.

We have a Tucson, a Getz and an Atos. None of this number nonsense. Bet sales dropped.
 
In Hyundai speak, the 'word' cars (Elantra, Accent, Tucson, Santa Fe) were meant for the American market and the numbered variants such as the i10, i20, i30, i40 etc were supposedly built for the Euro spec market.

Then again, the i30 station wagon is called the Elantra Touring in the States so I think it's just a case of the name than the actual car in some cases
