The Tucson Highlander features a suite of intelligent safety technologies called Hyundai SmartSense™¹It includes: Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), High Beam Assist (HBA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) and Smart Cruise Control (SCC). They’ve been developed to help alert you to (and avoid) any dangers around you.

The twin-panel, panoramic glass roof brings all the joys of open air driving – without the need for hats and scarves. At the touch of a button, the front panel opens – and activates a wind deflector that does just that.

Available exclusively on the R Series 2.0 Diesel, the in-house developed 8-speed automatic transmission offers enhanced shift logic, is faster, more responsive, and has smoother gear shifts. The 8-speed automatic also enables more potent acceleration from stand still with improved NVH characteristics, more decisive acceleration at high speeds and greater fuel efficiency.

Located in the lower part of the rear the centre console, the addition of a USB charging port will provide added convenience to rear seat occupants, allowing them to stay connected to their electronic devices without having to worry about battery life.

At speeds above 60km/h and below 180km/h, Driver Attention Warning (DAW) uses the windshield mounted camera to continually monitor the vehicle’s position within the lane, whilst also tracking steering inputs, brake pedal inputs, as well as time since last break. Should the system detect careless driving (such as sudden steering/braking inputs and/or inability to keep within lane), the ‘Attention Level’ display on the cluster will continually decrease. Should the level decrease to a certain threshold, the DAW system will recommend that the driver take a break.

At speeds of 30 km/h or above, Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) uses radar sensors on either side of the rear bumper to detect vehicles next to and diagonally behind Tucson. If a vehicle is present in Tucson’s blind spot, BCW displays a visual alert in the exterior mirrors. If the driver proceeds to activate the corresponding indicator lights, a flashing visual warning is provided and an audible alert is sounded.
The system also scans for vehicles approaching rapidly from the rear, and uses the same warning measures to alert the driver of vehicles which may be entering Tucson’s blind spot at a higher rate of speed.

The 8” touchscreen is integrated with satellite navigation, giving you directions on how to get to your next destination and also provides alerts about speed limits and speed/red light cameras within the area.

The Tucson is all about keeping the conditions at bay. With a heated steering wheel, your hands will stay warm and comfortable in even the coldest weather.

Mounted in the centre console, a wireless charging pad¹ allows users to charge a Qi-enabled smartphone without the use of messy and unsightly cables.

The Tucson’s impressive technology extends all the way to the boot of the car with the smart tailgate. When standing within a metre of your boot with your proximity key for more than three seconds, it will automatically open for you handsfree.

We manufacture our own high-tensile steel to ensure we deliver high standards of strength and safety through an expanded use of 150K grade hot stamping steel plates.

The cascading front grille exudes style and sophistication on the Tucson. The Go and Active X variants have a matte black front grille with a matte grey surround whereas the Elite and Highlander variants have a glossy black grille with chrome surround and inserts.

Tucson adopts LED headlamps casting a brighter illumination compared to conventional halogen lighting systems. The automatic levelling system reduces glare to oncoming drivers by compensating for vehicle load (i.e. passengers and cargo).

The Tucson is equipped with stylish alloy wheels and includes a full-size alloy spare. The Active X is equipped with 17” alloy wheels, the Elite with 18” alloy wheels and the Highlander with 19” alloy wheels.

When the smart key is detected within range of the Tucson, the wing mirrors automatically fold out and the integrated puddle lamps illuminate. Entering is also simplified, with a touch of the button on the door handle. When inside and ready to go, initiation of the engine is effortless with a mere tap of the push-button. Key still in pocket!

Available on the Tucson Active X, Elite and Highlander variants is the 8-speaker Infinity premium audio system featuring two tweeters, four door speakers, a front centre speaker, subwoofer and external amplifier.

An EPB allows for effortless operation of the parking brake. Additionally, the Auto Hold function incorporated into the braking system (Elite & Highlander) automatically holds the brakes steady once the vehicle has come to a complete stop, such that the vehicle will not creep forward or roll backward should the driver take their foot off the brake pedal.

To help you keep your eyes on the road, ergonomically positioned steering wheel-mounted switches located near the thumb area allow you to control audio, Bluetooth® and cruise control functions.

The Tucson’s performance is a testament to the work our designers and engineers put in every day to deliver a more enjoyable and practical ride. Depending on the variant you choose, the Tucson is available with three powerful engines to suit your lifestyle - the 2.0 GDi petrol¹, 1.6 T-GDi petrol² and 2.0 CRDi diesel engine.

Available exclusively on the R Series 2.0 Diesel, the in-house developed 8-speed automatic transmission offers enhanced shift logic, is faster, more responsive, and has smoother gear shifts. The 8-speed automatic also enables more potent acceleration from stand still with improved NVH characteristics, more decisive acceleration at high speeds and greater fuel efficiency.

HTRAC, meaning “Hyundai Traction”, increases traction on various environments and surfaces and intelligently redistributes power to all four wheels in more slippery conditions. In short, it means you’ll enjoy improved acceleration, greater stability and better fuel efficiency.

The Tucson features an Australian-specific suspension tune, developed over thousands of kilometres of local on-road testing specifically for our demanding road conditions. The tuning programme was carried out on a variety of road surfaces, including urban roads, highways, freeways, mountain passes, as well as country roads (including dirt, gravel, and corrugations).

The Tucson is as versatile as you are – ready to go wherever you go, whenever you want to go there. To make the most of every journey, the Tucson features three distinct driving modes.

• Comfort: stabilises the vehicle by adjusting the wheels for a smooth every day ride
• Eco: the most efficient for your fuel economy to keep your usage to a minimum
• Sport: gives you the power and crisp responses you need to tackle an adventure

At speeds of 30 km/h or above, Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) uses radar sensors on either side of the rear bumper to detect vehicles next to and diagonally behind Tucson. If a vehicle is present in Tucson’s blind spot, BCW displays a visual alert in the exterior mirrors. If the driver proceeds to activate the corresponding indicator lights, a flashing visual warning is provided and an audible alert is sounded.
The system also scans for vehicles approaching rapidly from the rear, and uses the same warning measures to alert the driver of vehicles which may be entering Tucson’s blind spot at a higher rate of speed.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go detects the speed and distance of vehicles ahead of the Tucson. SCC maintains a safe distance to the vehicle ahead, up to a pre-set speed (between 30km/h – 180km/h).
The Stop & Go function works in stop/start traffic, bringing the vehicle to a stop when appropriate, and automatically (if within 3 seconds) accelerate back up to the original set speed. If the vehicle is stationary for over 3 seconds, SCC will prompt the driver to continue cruise conditions via the steering wheel switches.

Using the Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) system’s radar sensors, at speeds below 10 km/h, the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) monitors for traffic approaching on either side of Tucson when reversing out of perpendicular parking spaces. Should RCCW detect a vehicle approaching, an audible warning will sound, with a visual warning displayed on the dash cluster.

At speeds above 60km/h and below 180km/h, Driver Attention Warning (DAW) uses the windshield mounted camera to continually monitor the vehicle’s position within the lane, whilst also tracking steering inputs, brake pedal inputs, as well as time since last break. Should the system detect careless driving (such as sudden steering/braking inputs and/or inability to keep within lane), the ‘Attention Level’ display on the cluster will continually decrease. Should the level decrease to a certain threshold, the DAW system will recommend that the driver take a break.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system, when active, utilises the front radar sensor and windshield mounted camera to detect and monitor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists in front of the vehicle. If a potential collision is detected, the system’s Forward Collision Warning (FCW) function will sound an audible warning chime and display a visual warning in the Supervision cluster. FCW is active above speeds of 8km/h, up to speeds of 70km/h for pedestrians and up to speeds of 180km/h for vehicles.
Additionally, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) works in conjunction with FCW to automatically apply the vehicle’s brakes in the case of a potential collision (where no driver intervention is detected after a FCW system warning). FCA is active above speeds of approximately 8km/h, and will attempt to bring the vehicle to a partial or complete stop if activated up to speeds of 70 km/h for pedestrians and complete stop up to speeds of 80 km/h for vehicles. Between speeds of 81 – 180 km/h when activated, for vehicles, FCA will slow down the Tucson in order to reduce the severity of the collision. In all scenarios of operation (visual and audible warning, slowing down or bringing vehicle to complete stop), pedestrian detection will only occur if the pedestrian is moving at speeds below 10 km/h.

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) System consists of two switchable functions - Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Active LKA.At speeds of 60 km/h or above, LDW uses the windshield mounted camera to detect lane markings and monitor the vehicle’s position in the lane. Should the vehicle stray from the intended lane without indicators being activated, an audible and visual warning will be sounded.
Active LKA is operational at speeds of 60km/h or above where lane markings on both sides of the vehicle are detected. The function helps prevent the vehicle from straying from the lane and provides steering intervention as the vehicle is about to leave the lane. Where required LKA provides earlier steering intervention in order to assist the vehicle in staying in the centre of the lane.
Both LDW and Active LKA are momentarily deactivated whenever turn signals are active. Additionally, the driver must maintain control of the vehicle by holding the steering wheel.

Using the same windshield mounted camera as the LKA system, High Beam Assist (HBA) scans the road ahead of Tucson, monitoring for street lights as well as any other lights, including headlights of oncoming vehicles as well as taillights of vehicles in front. Upon detection the system automatically adjusts headlamp range, switching between high and low beam.HBA is active at speeds of 41km/h or above, and operational once the light switch, on the indicator lever, is placed in the AUTO position and the lever pushed forward away from the driver.

The rear-view camera activates when engaged in ‘reverse’ so you can see where you’re going and what’s behind you on the touchscreen. The dynamic guidelines help to keep you on track, resulting in perfect parking every time.
