Hyundai Tucson 2.0CRTD GSI SW 4x4's...

The Tucson is a budget 4x4 that majors on value for money and generous equipment. That's not to say it isn't capable off road and the four-wheel drive versions can cope surprisingly well with tough terrain. But it's on the tarmac where the Hyundai is really designed to spend the majority of its time. Here it is comfortable enough and handles well in corners with good body control, although the suspension is firm which is noticeable in town and over rough roads. There's a good diesel engine available, which is just as well as the petrols are underpowered and thirsty. The model was slightly facelifted for 2009 while a two-wheel drive version was also introduced.

Easily the best engine in the Tucson range is the 2.0-litre diesel. Originally this was a CRTD unit with 138bhp and a 0-62mph time of 12 seconds but this rebadged CRDi in 2008 and received a power boost to 148bhp. It pulls well from low revs, although it can get a little noisy, especially when worked hard. The extra power cuts the 0-62mph time to 11.6 seconds and the revised engine is also marginally more economical. There are two petrol engines but neither is impressive - the 2.0-litre is only available with a five-speed manual (the diesel gets a much better six-speed) and feels slow and unresponsive. The 2.7-litre V6 sounds good on paper with 173bhp but the automatic gearbox (it's not offered as a manual) is slow-witted and robs the engine of any decent pace.
