Hyundai Tucson has always been in the leading position in the top sales of crossovers in Russia and was recently updated in March. At the New York Auto Show, a restyled 3rd generation model is shown, which at first glance seems to be a new generation.
The changes affected the exterior, interior and, most importantly, the technical part, which rarely happens in restyling. Even before the review itself, it should be said that this is a full-fledged work, and not a cheap marketing ploy to raise interest and increase sales.
Design
The first thing the buyer pays attention to is appearance. Here, when viewed from afar, it seems that the bumper and headlights have been slightly corrected, but looking closer you can see that there are much more changes.
In front, we observe a high smooth hood, emphasized by narrow diode optics. Daytime running lights will always be on LEDs, and diode optics with washers appear from the Lifestyle configuration.
In the center, the aggressive style is emphasized by a new chrome grille, again, chrome will only be in top versions, the base Hyundai Tussan 2018-2019 will receive a silver plastic trim. The massive bumper has acquired more muscular forms, stylish foglights, which are already installed in the base and a small plastic protection.
From the side, changes in the expansion of the wheel arches, a change in the style of the upper aerodynamic line and, in fact, everything are noticeable. The upper line originates from the front arch, passes over the door handles, and near the rear handle is divided into two, passing into the upper and central part of the rear optics. Chrome on the door handles also appeared only in expensive trim levels, as did the lower glass trim.
Behind, we see a more familiar shape, but retouched. The style of optics has changed, becoming smoother, but with aggression due to narrowing. The trunk lid swelled up, and the bumper became flatter. The electric trunk lid will appear only in top trim levels.
The dimensions of the body have not changed much:
- length - 4480 mm;
- width - 1850 mm;
- height - 1655 mm;
- wheelbase - 2670 mm;
- ground clearance - 182 mm.
Well, the changes are serious, there are many of them and they all gave the appearance of freshness. The crossover will now be more visible on the road, the aggressive style of the Hyundai Tucson will help the manufacturer attract young buyers and is unlikely to upset an adult audience.
Slightly affected color palette. Suggested:
- white - basic;
- bright red - basic;
- brown;
- black;
- red;
- dark green;
- gray metallic;
- light beige metallic;
- metallic silver;
- dark blue metallic;
- dark blue metallic.
All colors except the basic ones will cost the buyer 15,000 rubles.
Heavily modified interior
The interior architecture has not been touched, but the style has become more modern. We see the same 2-part dashboard, but now it's more swollen and muscular. In some configurations, the central part of the dashboard is sheathed in carbon.
The seats remain the same, in the base they are mechanically adjustable and upholstered in fabric. In expensive trim levels, leather and power adjustments appear. Fabric or leather color can be chosen, black and beige are available. Behind is an ordinary sofa, there is enough free space, plus there is a folding armrest with two cup holders.
Optionally, there is a huge panorama on the roof, which rear passengers can fully enjoy.
The 2018-2019 Hyundai Tussana 3-spoke steering wheel with leather trim and multimedia control buttons has not changed at all. The dashboard was touched a little, the visualization changed, and so it still consists of 2 analog sensors and an informative 4.2-inch on-board computer in the center.
The center console on top received a new 8-inch multimedia system display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Below is the same separate climate control unit with a monitor and washers. The tunnel was changed, a platform for a smartphone with wireless charging appeared in front of the gear selector lever. On the tunnel there is a gearshift lever, two cup holders and several buttons for setting driving modes.
The trunk remained unchanged, in the initial state the volume is 488 liters, and with the rear sofa folded down 1478 liters. Under the floor is a full-size spare wheel and a repair kit.
Specifications
| Type | Volume | Power | Torque | Overclocking | Max speed | Number of cylinders |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 2.0 l | 150 HP | 192 H*m | 10.6 sec. | 186 km/h | 4 |
| Petrol | 1.6 l | 177 HP | 265 H*m | 9.1 sec. | 201 km/h | 4 |
| Diesel | 2.0 l | 185 HP | 400 H*m | 9.5 sec. | 201 km/h | 4 |
The line of power units has not changed, three engines are also proposed:
- R2.0 Diesel - diesel 2-liter turbo engine with 185 horsepower and 400 H * m of torque. The engine consumes 8 liters in the city and 5.4 on the highway. The dynamics is equal to 9.5 seconds and 201 km / h of maximum speed;
- Gamma 1.6 Turbo-GDI D-CVVT is a 1.6-liter gasoline unit for Hyundai Tucson 2018-2019, producing 177 horses and 265 units of torque. Passport consumption is 9 liters in the city and 6.5 liters on the highway. The maximum speed is at the same mark, and acceleration to hundreds is 9.1 seconds;
- The Nu 2.0 MPI D-CVVT is a 2.0-litre turbocharged gasoline engine that produces 150 horsepower and 192 units of torque. Here, the consumption is already greater - 10.7 liters in the city and 6.3 liters on the highway. The maximum speed does not exceed 186 km / h, and acceleration to hundreds of a maximum of 10.6 seconds.
The engines are paired with a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed hydromechanical automatic, or a 7-speed robot for a 1.6-liter engine. The moment on most trim levels is transmitted to the front axle, but there are all-wheel drive modifications that work through the HTRAC control system.
Suspension, brakes and steering of the new Tussan
Regardless of the configuration, the machine is on an independent suspension with anti-roll bars on two axles. Front axle - MacPherson, rear - multi-link. Handling has become better, in addition to the suspension itself, electronic systems help in the management.
The crossover stops due to disc brakes with ventilation on the front axle. Power rack and pinion steering. Because of this, the information content is not the best, but still not bad. The number of turns of the steering wheel is 2.51, the turning radius is 5.3 meters.
Safety
The manufacturer has installed a variety of movement safety systems:
- Automatic braking in front of an obstacle, analyzing information through the front camera;
- Analysis through the rear camera, which automatically stops the car when leaving the parking lot if another car is driving;
- Classic blind spot monitoring;
- Automatic switching of optics to low beam in the case of an oncoming car;
- Adaptive cruise control;
- Lane control.
All these technologies, a strong body and 6 airbags allowed us to get the maximum Euro NCAP rating of 5 stars. All these systems are already familiar to the owners.
Hyundai Tucson price
The cost of the new crossover has increased slightly. There are many configurations offered, the price of each of which you can see in the table. You can see the equipment of complete sets on the manufacturer's website, we will tell you about the minimum and maximum version.
The basic Primary equipment costs 1,444,000 rubles, its equipment:
- air conditioner;

The new Hyundai Tussan 2018-2019 has become really better and more attractive as a purchase. Studying the review, you light up very much, because the car is cool for a small price tag, but carefully study the package before buying. Unfortunately, even the visual coolness in the basic version is not the same as in the top one, and it already costs much more.
Video review of Tucson
Hyundai Tucson is a very important car in the history of the Korean brand. Tussan helped Hyundai enter the modern SUV segment and top the sales lists in many countries around the world.
Hyundai Tussan appeared simultaneously with the release of the second generation Kia Sportage. Technically, the cars are identical. They share a common body structure, chassis, engines and transmission. There is a similarity in appearance, although each of them has its own original design.
In 2008, Tucson went through a restyling, during which the range of power units and appearance were corrected. Engineers have worked on some components. First of all, the chassis and steering settings were improved, as well as the efficiency of the brakes - by increasing the diameter of the brake discs. In 2010, the production of crossovers was completed.
Interior
Hyundai Tucson show good spaciousness. Four adults won't complain about the lack of space. However, the three of us can sit on the back sofa, except perhaps very slender people. A generous amount of legroom and a reclining second-row seat will help you comfortably accommodate.
Worse things are with the trunk. The 320-liter pannier is far behind the competition. A consolation will be the opening glass of the fifth door, which provides quick and easy access to the luggage compartment.
You can’t pick up flattering words about the build quality and materials. Interior decoration is typical for Korean cars of that period - medium quality materials and mediocre design.
Engines
The line of power units Hyundai Tussan, although modest, fully satisfies the needs of the owners. One of the most common engines was a 2-liter gasoline aspirated engine with a capacity of 142 hp. and a torque of 184 Nm. This engine is well suited for the operation of the car in the city, as well as for the installation of gas equipment. This unit is perhaps the most reliable and cheapest to operate.
The top of the range is occupied by a large V6 with a volume of 2.7 liters and a power of 175 hp. Contrary to popular belief, it does not provide proper dynamics, as it is paired exclusively with a 4-speed automatic, originally from the 90s. However, after the installation of gas equipment, the engine becomes relatively economical and quite attractive in terms of operating costs.
A 4-speed automatic could also be installed with the most powerful 140 hp turbodiesel. The same 2-liter diesel engine with a lower degree of forcing had a return of 112 hp. After restyling, the power of the 140-horsepower diesel engine increased to 150 hp.
All versions of the SUV could be either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with the exception of the V6 petrol version, which was always equipped with an all-wheel drive transmission.
What breaks?
The 2-liter turbodiesel for that time had a new and modern design. The Commn Rail injection engine of the RA420 series was developed by the Italian company VM. This acronym evokes consternation among people who have had the experience of owning "old" Jeep and Chrysler diesel models. Don't worry! This time the engine turned out to be successful and quite simple (by today's standards).
The power unit has a cast iron block, one timing belt driven camshaft and 16 valves. The 112 hp version runs with lower injection pressure and a fixed geometry turbocharger. Modifications with a return of 140 and 150 hp. equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger, due to which the torque increased from 245 Nm to 305 and 310 Nm, respectively. Some of the most powerful diesel vehicles use a particulate filter.
A CRDI marked engine does not have any weak points or common faults. However, in cars older than 10 years, it is unlikely that you will be able to avoid problems with nozzles, a turbocharger and a dual-mass flywheel. But this is the norm for great age and mileage, as well as malfunctions of the exhaust gas recirculation system. However, all of the above items are relatively cheap and not prohibitively expensive to repair.
Remarkably, the dual-mass flywheel of a 112-horsepower diesel engine wears out faster. It's all about the curve of the moment, which almost never falls and grows rapidly. Motorists who are accustomed to driving at low speeds should take this into account. A big plus of this motor is the simple design of the turbocharger and its long resource. The cost of a new turbocharger is from 40 to 60 thousand rubles.
The only element worth paying attention to is the intake manifold flap control system. Its malfunction is manifested by a decrease in power and sluggish acceleration in the middle and upper rev range. But, fortunately, nothing breaks and does not fall into the engine.
The engine does not require complex service. It is better to plan a timing belt replacement with a run of 90-120 thousand km (16,000 rubles for a set with a pump), and an oil update no later than 10,000 km. An unscheduled service visit may be due to the DPF (if present). Considering the cost of the car and the new particulate filter (70,000 rubles), it is better not to think about replacing. It's easier to remove it.
Gearboxes also do not cause any particular problems. The machine will last a long time subject to regular oil changes - every 50,000 km. Sufficiently reliable and multi-plate clutch.
Things are a little worse with the cardan shaft. The design until 2006 required the replacement of the cardan shaft assembly with the support if any backlash appeared. An alternative option was the possibility of restoring repairs in an unofficial service. After 2006, the design changed, allowing both the shaft and the support to be changed separately, which significantly reduced the cost of repairs.
Hyundai Tucson do not have serious problems with the electrics, although sometimes some sensor may fail, for example, exhaust gas temperature. The suspension also proved to be quite durable. The transverse lever of the front axle has removable silent blocks and a ball joint. On the rear axle there are only two simple levers for each of the wheels and a MacPherson strut.
Operating costs
Hyundai Tussan can be considered one of the cheapest to operate in its class. All thanks to the relatively high reliability and low cost of repairs. There are a lot of substitutes, and the cost of original spare parts from dealers is much lower than similar components in Toyota or Mitsubishi services.
Conclusion
Hyundai Tucson is a very successful car that has the only drawback - a small trunk. Although some may seem like a serious disadvantage and the lack of a really strong engine. In general, the Korean crossover is quite reliable and cheap to operate.
The Korean SUV Hyundai Tucson has become popular in Russia for several reasons: reliability, unpretentiousness, high ground clearance. Compared to direct competitors Toyota RAV-4, Skoda Yeti, the car is cheap to maintain and repair. The owners complain about the finish, stiff suspension, rather weak dynamics, especially for the Tucson with a 2.0 engine.
Potential buyers need to be prepared for high costs. So, the first generation Tucson with a 2.7 liter engine and automatic transmission consumes about 17-18 liters of fuel per 100 km in the city. Versions of the second and third generations with Gamma, Theta II, Nu engines are less voracious. A diesel Tucson with a 1.7 or 2.0 liter engine is completely economical. But the resource of these power units is significantly different.
Hyundai Tucson I generation
The model debuted in 2004. The Tucson was equipped with a 2.0 or 2.7 liter gasoline engine, as well as a turbodiesel, which, depending on the layout, produced from 113 to 150 hp. With. Paired with a Hyundai Tucson engine, a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic worked, the car was front- or all-wheel drive. But only all-wheel drive versions with gasoline internal combustion engines were officially supplied to the Russian market. These were the G4GC and G6BA motors.
The G4GC is a four-cylinder gasoline engine in the Beta series. Its volume is 1975 cubic meters. cm, and power - 141 liters. With. The cylinder block is made of cast iron. In fact, this is a modified G4GF engine with a modified crankshaft, connecting rod and piston group, combustion chamber, catalyst. Among the innovations, it is important to note CVVT - a system that changes the valve timing on the intake shaft. The resource of a two-liter Tucson engine reaches 300 thousand km. But due to the lack of hydraulic compensators, already with a run of 100 thousand km, it may be necessary to adjust the valve clearances, which remind of themselves with a characteristic clattering sound. The disadvantages include high noise, vibrations, dips during acceleration, freezing speed, which is solved by updating the ECU firmware. In general, the G4GC is reliable, the main thing is the timely maintenance and replacement of the timing belt.
G6BA - six-cylinder gasoline engine of the Delta series with a capacity of 175 liters. With. The cylinder stroke is 75 mm, the cylinder head is made of aluminum. Here, unlike the G4GC, there are already hydraulic lifters, so adjusting the valve clearances during routine maintenance is not required. Thanks to the installation of a special intake stroke receiver, it was possible to achieve an even distribution of torque. As with the less powerful Tucson petrol engine, a CVVT system is installed. The resource of the power unit reaches 500 thousand km.
D4EA - four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with power from 113 to 150 hp. With. Diesel versions of the Hyundai Tucson were not officially delivered to Russia, but are still found on the secondary market. This engine uses hydraulic compensators that are demanding on the quality of lubrication. The motor itself, the fuel pump, the injectors run 300 thousand km. But for their longevity, you need to follow some rules: refuel with high-quality fuel and change consumables in a timely manner. Therefore, take a responsible approach to the choice of gas stations, and change oil, filters, glow plugs in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Why is low-grade diesel fuel dangerous for D4EA?
Hyundai Tucson diesel units use an EGR system cooler that lowers the temperature of the recirculated gases. Calibrated injectors are also used. Together with the peculiarities of fuel equipment, this causes certain requirements for the quality of diesel fuel: cetane index, flash point, viscosity, sulfur and water content.
If you refuel with low-quality diesel fuel, carbon deposits will appear in the combustion chamber, which will negatively affect the power of the Hyundai Tucson engine. In parallel with this, smoke will increase, cold start will become more difficult, lubrication and cooling of fuel equipment units will be disturbed.
To avoid negative consequences, save the fuel equipment and the Tucson diesel engine, add an additive to the fuel tank. This will increase the cetane index by 3-5 units, increase torque, reduce fuel consumption by 10-15%, and minimize engine wear. Among the additional effects of using the additive are cleaning the combustion chamber and gas exhaust path, extending the life of fuel injectors, removing water, which makes it easier to start at sub-zero temperatures.
More about transmissions Hyundai Tucson I generation
The crossover was equipped with manual transmission and automatic transmission: F4A51, F4A42, A6MF2. Four-speed automatic transmissions are time-tested transmissions that are well known from various Mitsubishi models. They are properly balanced and quite reliable, most failures are associated with worn seals, due to which there is a lack of lubrication and critical wear of the torque converter.
The first signs of wear are kicks and jerks when switching, which can occur for various reasons, including damage to the friction elements. Over time, the automatic transmission stops turning on, various errors are displayed on the instrument panel. For example, Check Engine. Slippage may appear, the noise of the automatic transmission may increase.
Manual transmission Hyundai Tucson is quite successful. But in case of breakdowns, rattling sounds appear, which are provoked by the wear of the input shaft, gears and other structural elements. They can collapse, which will lead to the ingress of fragments, metal chips - critical wear.
Hyundai Tucson ll generation
The second generation Tucson debuted in 2009 as the ix35. The crossover has got more powerful and economical engines, new transmissions. Among the power plants D4HA, G4NA, G4KD. In Russia, the Hyundai ix35 has been on sale since 2010 and is equipped with a two-liter gasoline engine or a 2.0-liter diesel engine. The power units are paired with a five-speed mechanics or a six-speed automatic.
D4HA - 184 hp turbodiesel engine. With. with a torque of 400 Newton meters. Despite the solid power, the engine is quite economical and consumes about 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Even in domestic conditions, D4HA runs 250 thousand km without problems. But when refueling with low-grade diesel fuel, the filters become clogged, the thrust disappears, characteristic twitches appear. Possible unstable idling, detonation, increased fuel consumption. Before undertaking the diagnosis of such a power unit, you need to check if the particulate filter is clogged.
G4NA is a 150 hp Nu-series two-liter gasoline engine. With. Cast from aluminum, equipped with multipoint injection and Dual CVVT system. This is a more modern power plant compared to the G4KD, which is equipped with hydraulic valve clearance compensators. The G4NA cylinder head is sensitive to the quality of the lubricant.
Hyundai Tucson lll generation
In the fall of 2015, sales of the Hyundai Tucson lll generation started in the Russian Federation. The manufacturer has provided for the Korean crossover gasoline and diesel engines with a capacity of 155 to 185 hp. With. volume from 1.6 to 2.0 liters. The transmission is a six-speed manual, a classic automatic transmission or a seven-speed robot.
How to extend the life of the Hyundai Tucson engine?
In Hyundai Tucson of different generations, the cylinder block is cast from cast iron or light alloy materials. The classic automatic machines have been replaced by more modern analogues and robotic transmissions. This had a positive effect on fuel consumption and dynamic performance. But the resource of power units has decreased due to the fact that they have become more demanding on the cleanliness and quality of fuels and lubricants. Vivid proof of this is the Nu series engines.
The aluminum block in them is resistant to corrosion, but wears out much faster than analogues made of cast iron. With intensive use, compression drops, cold start becomes more difficult, oil burns appear. But aluminum is a soft material that cannot be bored, which causes certain difficulties for an engine overhaul. In addition, thin-walled cast-iron sleeves are filled with aluminum and form a single structure with the block, and this complicates the repair process. Therefore, the issue of extending the life of the engine through proper maintenance becomes relevant. How to do it?
- Reduce service intervals, the maximum service interval should not be 15 thousand km, but 7-8 thousand km (proper maintenance in full is one of the main longevity rules for modern engines that have a smaller safety margin than their predecessors).
- Do not overload the motor.
- Carry out preventive treatment.
The additive will restore worn friction pairs made of ferrous metals, forming a ceramic-metal protective layer on them. It is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, promotes alignment, increased compression in the internal combustion engine, normalization of power and operational characteristics. Aluminum surfaces are cleaned with additive particles from carbon deposits and deposits, it serves as an excellent flush before changing the engine oil.
The use of an oil additive will give the following results:
- Reduced oil and fuel consumption, which saves on maintenance, daily operation.
- Minimization of noise and vibrations.
- Facilitated start-up at sub-zero temperatures (the engine stops troit).
- Strengthening friction units.
Useful additive for box and all-wheel drive Hyundai Tucson
To restore the resource of an automatic transmission or a Hyundai Tucson robotic transmission, use an additive. Suitable for processing mechanics, handouts, bridge. Its use during a scheduled oil change minimizes noise, knock, howl, makes switching smoother and clearer. All this happens due to wear compensation on friction surfaces, restoration of the nominal dimensions of gears and other parts.
Additive for transfer case, bridge, box is added directly to the oil. Processing eliminates rumble, jolts, kicks, helps fight bearing crunch. Can be used as an effective CIP repair tool!

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 
Year of issue: 2015
Engine: 2.0 (150 HP) Checkpoint: A6
I took the Hyundai Tucson because the car is already well equipped in the initial trim levels. You can buy a car with front-wheel drive, automatic transmission with a good range of options. I have the second Comfort package, it has everything you need for a comfortable ride: climate control, heated steering wheel and front seats, rear parking sensors, audio system, power accessories, heated windshield in the wiper area. Competitors for the same money have poorer equipment.
Welcome everyone here again!
My review will be banal for those who know Toussaint or own it. The review is more likely for those who (like me a month and a half ago) are looking for a replacement for their puzoterka and have accumulated a certain checksum of banknotes in the region of 600t.r. on a car with increased ground clearance for more confident movement of their bodies from points A and B to areas that are not always equipped with good roads. Yes, and I just already want something bigger, taller, newer ... Something like this ...
It makes no sense to write about the choice, it is obvious: Out, Kashak, Santa, Tussan, SGV, etc. and so on. in varying degrees of slaughter and different years of release. I will not dissemble, of all the crossovers, only the SGV, Tussan and Sportage were really able to "feel" them. Everyone liked something, something not. But in good condition, only Tussan was found on the front-wheel drive with a gun. Machine wanted for a long time, but it was not mandatory when choosing. I decided for myself right away - the car will not swim in off-road, therefore, four-wheel drive is not needed. Maximum forest, primer, curbs and winter ice gullies in the yards (the Almere did not have enough clearance when they stormed them). Yes, and I wanted the car to be as hassle-free as possible, and all-wheel drive is additional crap and money for maintenance.
And here he is - a black hippo at my gate!
This unit cost 2008, 2l., automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, mileage 50t.km - 615t.r. Expensive or not... I think it's okay. The seller's assurances that the car was not broken were not true, I recently discovered that the right rear door was painted. And it can be seen even to me - inexperienced in body repair. I didn’t see it when I bought it - I was in euphoria :), although I checked everything thoroughly. There are no deformations of the body, the door and glass are native, the door closes easily and the gaps are even - it means it was scratched ... And yet, I don’t know if it’s worth changing polyurethane bushings creaking on bumps to rubber native ones ... they seem to last longer. But they creak, or rather they squawk :) Their lubrication gave an effect for a week, then again jam-jam ... But otherwise everything is a bunch. The mobile starts and rides, or rather rushing like a tank, after Almeria, of course there is an effect. You sit higher, you drive more confidently, roadsides and curbs are no longer so scary, and you go into the forest somehow easier. In general, the goal was achieved.
Consumption on kompukteru 9-10l in the city. On Highway 8. Lew 92nd. Interestingly, if pouring the 95th, will the consumption decrease? I drive differently, sometimes I shoot while overtaking, the automatic transmission thinks for a split second and kickdown, depending on the degree of drowning of the “sneaker” into the floor. In general, I have already adapted to the automatic transmission - you push the pedal a little harder and it kickdowns 1 gear down ... not enough? You push more and she resets another gear - here's the dosing of acceleration. Need to overtake VERY fast? - the slipper is completely on the floor and with the sound of a sports car you are carried away into the distance. No meeting? You can safely overtake without straining the engine and gearbox. Nishtyak full. Personally, a 2L engine is enough for me. You can also manually leave the transmission, the benefit of automatic transmission type tiptronic. Consumption during sharp accelerations and driving at a speed of 150 km / h - 11l. It's on the computer. Who has more means you have more :)
The salon is comfortable and spacious. It's a pipets how convenient it is to enter / exit. Pleased with the presence of 3 sockets (front, rear and in the trunk) - it is convenient to vacuum the interior. Behind it is paradise, the sofa is wide, there is no tunnel in the floor, the backs can be tilted to a semi-lying position, there is really a lot of space. And you can't even tell from the looks of it. I myself was somehow skeptical about Tussan before in terms of volume, until I joked around the specialized forums and sat in it ... after Almeria, it’s just pipets how spacious it is. And the trunk ... it seems that it is not very big ... but no ... it just seems ... 644l according to the passport .... yes, figs with it, with a passport - the classic stroller fits in without disassembling, only folding legs. At the same time, there is still room for grocery bags and bags ... and there is still room! HOORAY! In Almera, I had to disassemble the stroller, separating the top from the bottom, and pushing everything else into the cabin there. Well, maybe 1 bag would still fit on the side. Well, a nice feature - the Tussan has a separate glass of the tailgate, which is convenient when loading "to the eyeballs" or just when parking close to the wall, and the door is not constantly pulled. For lovely ladies, oh, what a useful feature - my wife really liked it. I won’t write about the plastic in the cabin - I didn’t try it for a tooth, it’s completely ordinary, solid, nothing creaks, and thank God.
Shumka - quieter than in Almere. The suspension is softer, but the longitudinal buildup is greater, when driving through bumps in a turn, it sausages harder. On the track is more confident, the speed is not felt at all. 140 both on foot. Handling is easy, I didn’t even drive the Almere so easily. It enters into turns easier than Almera and at a higher speed, although earlier Alco was the standard of handling for me. In general, you get used to Tussan quickly, as if you had always ridden it. Everything is simple, convenient and thoughtful. And the machine makes the driving process enjoyable - you went somewhere and you don’t even remember what you were driving. You don't get tired at all. A trip to Anapa is another confirmation of this. This is the first car, after which the back did not hurt after the 1500 km raid.
The headlights are great, stock. On Almere, the light was not ice.
Tires are regular kumho, the tread is already running out. Winter took the new Bridge Ice Cruiser 7000 spikes. After the purchase, I did not change anything in the car, because the car is in good condition and the previous owner replaced everything before selling (oils, filters) and even cleaned the interior. Respect to him for this, because it's nice to buy a clean and well-groomed car, as if he took a new one :). The service said you can drive safely up to TO-60. Amen.
In winter I will unsubscribe, "how it is in winter" :)
PS: an interesting feature, I have only 2 hooks on the back of the rear sofa, and all the other Tussans that I have seen have 3 ... wattafuck? A feature of the 2008 model? I don't really need it, but somehow interesting)
Good luck to all of us and hormones of joy in addition :)!
Do not get sick and do not get sick, it is better to choose cars ...
