Here's something to look forward to Diesel R fans!

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc., the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the country, will bring in diesel-fed variants of the newly-launched Tucson in 2010.

Hyundai marketing officer Raphael Ryan Batuigas said the diesel Tucson is coming in the second or third quarter next year but the company has yet to decide which variants will best fit the local market. Diesel engines of the Tucson, known as the Tucson ix in other markets, include the 1.7-liter and 2-liter R-line.

Batuigas said Hyundai prioritized the gasoline-powered Theta II engine-equipped variants "to show that the new Tucson is just as fuel-efficient as diesel-powered SUVs while being more environment-friendly."

Hyundai launched the 2010 Tucson in the Philippines on December 7.
The new 2010 Tucson runs on Hyundai's Theta II engines, with the 2-liter for 2WD type churning 166hp; and the 2.4-liter delivering 177hp mill for the top-of-the-line 4WD variant. The 2-liter Theta II engine is 24.6 percent more powerful than the Beta engine in the previous-generation Tucson.

"The incorporation of D-CVVT, or the Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing, and VIS in the Theta II engines ups the all-new Tucson's power, acceleration, and fuel economy, while keeping its engine operation environmentally sound with lesser emissions," Hyundai said.
The 2010 Tucson comes with a five-speed manual transmission for the base 2-liter GL variant while the rest of the line-up runs on Hyundai's newly-developed six-speed automatic transmission. The new tranny is lighter by 12 kilograms over the old five-speed automatic it replaces and Hyundai tests showed it can improve fuel economy by 12.2-percent. Manual shifting for a more dynamic driving experience is also possible with the 2010 Hyundai Tucson's Shiftronic feature.

Hyundai also improved the Tucson's cabin which now bears an X-design center fascia with black, high-gloss metallic paint finish to accent controls and switches. Located right in the middle of this unique fascia is the Tucson's audio system with a six-CD changer and multimedia capabilities through a built-in auxiliary input and USB port.

On the safety side, the 2010 Tucson comes with features like an Electronic Stability Program with its Anti-lock Braking System, as well as Downhill Brake Control and Hill-start Assist Control. It also has front and rear disc brakes, six airbags, and an active headrest. The 2010 Tucson scored a five-star rating in Euro New Car Assessment Programme testing for both frontal and side impacts.

The new Tucson is available in Vanilla White, Sleek Silver, Gray Titanium, Phantom Black, and Silky Bronze.

clock ata yan before empty ng gas sir. hehe. parang timer.

ah ok.... parang time bomb pala.. hehehehe pero useful narin at may advanced computer system na pala yung tucson ix...

[jm.chan]

Well... it's in the manual... 1L per 1000 km is max rate.... Moral of the story have a change oil & oil filter every 5,000 kms.

ang sabi sa akin sa hyundai fully synthetic gamit eh.. tapos every 10k ang palit.. kapag 5k top up lang ng one liter

Mga sirs,

Does anyone check this feature on gls matic 2wd model?

good day guys, kwento ko lang sa inyo... meron nag-release ng tucson gls sa dealership namen kanina, silky bronze ang nakuha nya na unit, pagkakita nya dun sa unit na-inlove sya agad dun sa new tucson, kaya tinanong nya agad ako na "if ever na makursunadahan ko ito kaya mo ba i-release with in the day?" kaya pinag paalam ko agad sa bos ko, good thing is pumayag naman basta in-house ang insurance, the buyer paid on cash(meron sya bitbit na cash), then we proceeded to PDI(pre-delivery inspection) while the documents is being invoiced, mga around 2pm sya nakapag decide, binantayan nya ung unit habang ginagawa ung PDI, then around 5pm nagpirmahan na kame ng documents, he asked me if ok lang daw ba if ihahatid ko sya sa kanila kasi wala sya kasama driver? so i drove his MONTEROSPORT GLS SE and he drove his brand new tucson, when we arrived in his house in valle verde, feedbacks from him is sobrang magaan daw ang steering, rides much better and mas responsive daw ang engine compared sa xtrail 250x and fortuner 2.7cvvt nya considering the fact na 2.0L lang ang engine, ramdam daw talaga ang difference

heto pa nakakatuwa dun three car garage lang ang house nya, ang nasa loob ng garage is ung new tucson, 07bmw 760i, 99benz s600 tsaka meron nakasiksik sa gilid na smart car na purple

sa labas na lang ng house ung 09 fortuner, 09 monterosport, 09fj cruiser and 05mazda3 nila
mukhang ung tucson na ang new favorite niya, outside the kulambo na ung fj cruiser nya

since magka-convoy kame at ako ang nasa likod, kitangkita ko na pinagtitinginan sya sa kalsada, big factor na din siguro dun is dahil bago pa lang ung unit nya at bago din sa paningin ng mga tao, meron pa nga siya nakatabi kanina na gen1 tucson brand new din at wala pang plate nagbubukas pa ng mga windows just to get a better view tapos kitang kita ko na meron agad tinawagan sa phone(inaaway na siguro ung ahente nya)

since i havent had the chance to test drive the new tucson gusto ko sana hiritan si sir na pa-testdrive naman pero nahiya ako, hehehe... yung experience ko naman sa pagmamaneho nung monterosport nya i-share ko na din sa inyo, ride is very good compared to fortuner, inaabsorb lang ng suspension ung mga speed bumps and potholes, similar lang halos ang hatak and ride ng monterosport with the previous pajero fieldmaster, pero pansin ko lang na sobrang rinig mo ung engine noise nya sa interior, if you were to ask me mas ok padin ang overall driving experience ko with santa fe

Mga sirs,

Does anyone check this feature on gls matic 2wd model?

Side View Mirror - Elec. Heated w/ LED Type Side Repeater

sir basically it's the side morror. with signal lights. and can be heated so that it won't fog up? tulad ng windows?

meron nag-release ng tucson gls sa dealership namen kanina, silky bronze ang nakuha nya na unit

napadaan ako sa hyundai alabang para makuha yung MWCC extensions ng kotse kanina at may nakasabay ko pauwi na isang customer na may fresh bronze rin na tucson IX. (interestingly sabi nila 3 lang units meron sila - yung silver namin at yung dalawang naka display na black and bronze. nakadisplay parin yung black sa showroom at yung bronze sa labas, meaning meron siguro silang *secret* stash ng units or baka kumuha sila ng unit sa ibang showroom... hmmm)

medyo napopopulate na rin ang mga kalsada ng tucson IXs - kanina yung nanay ko nakakita ng silver IX sa daan, akala niya ako yun. :D

ramdam daw talaga ang difference

nah, baka lang di pa niya kasi na fufull tank yun. at may max capacity na sakay na tao. ^^, (at konting bias kasi bago ^^,)

sakin nung walang gas magaan feeling, pero pag full tank medyo may need ng konting effort para mag accelerate (pero since AT naman magaadhust naman yung gear shifting ng pakunti-kunti)

next week pa ang brute force stress testing ng tucson namin. for this week mga basic muna tulad ng kuha ng stickers/epass/basic emergency goods/pabinyag/check kung may faulty equips/getting to know each other

[harold13]

breakin mo na yan sir tainted

*white

pagalitan ahente, hahaha, kung mayaman yung buyer ng old tucson, malamang magagalit yun. pero kami ok na kahit na 2009 tucson nakuha namin, wala pa ding plate. kasi comparing sa gas ng 2010, halos mas mahal pa ang GLS. but our priority is CRDi kaya ok lang. next year pa kasi lalabas yung 2010 crdi and definitely mas mahal kaysa sa 2009.

[spiderman 7755]

sir white bug lalo naman ako na excite sa kwento mo..ung unit ko sa monday ko pa makukuha i got GLS silky bronze din.first time ko bumili ng sasakyan kaya excited ako,i hope maganda ang experience ko with tucson ix..sana mabigyan mo pa ako ng ibang importanteng tips..

[taintedwhistler]

I'm somewhat interested to see a thorough comparison of all the compact 2010 entry-level type X-over SUV models

Toyota 2010 RAV4
Mitsubishi 2010 RVR (a remake that may replace the outlander?)
Mazda 2010 CX7
Honda 2010 CRV
Hyundai 2010 Tucson (iX)
Kia 2010 Sportage
Ford 2010 Escape

mahirap nga lang compare for now kasi wala pa mga hands-on experience mga tao

[mikmik316]

Toyota 2010 RAV4 - Only the V6 is the best according to US owners & journalists
Mitsubishi 2010 RVR (a remake that may replace the outlander?) - Japan & Euro lang malamang eto
Mazda 2010 CX7 - Thumbs up for Philippine motorists & enthusiast
Honda 2010 CRV - FUGLY, price increase most probably
Hyundai 2010 Tucson (iX) - Has CRDi but should wait for 3rd quarter this year
Kia 2010 Sportage - Last production year, may 2011 Sportage Spy Shots na
Ford 2010 Escape - VERY OLD, palitan na ng Kuga!

congrats on your new ride! post ka naman ng pics. hehe

yun din ang napansin ko sa 2010 Tucson. standard kasi yung mudguards sa 2009 model. bili ka nalang ng mudguards pero most likely wala pang nagbebenta kasi very new pa yung model.

[tidus1203]

When SFCP had our Christmas party awhile ago sa may SM mall of Asia area may nakita na ako na new Tucson na white. Looks sleek, kinda small looking from the outside...

[mazzipino]

Is there a PH tucson forum?

[tidus1203]
