No more 1.6L turbo for Tucson ah? Was still looking at it to replace my current car next time.

I think it was cannibalizing Kona 1.6T which is smaller yet more expensive.

[Daniu82]

But sales for 1.6L Turbo for Kona should not be that good (most buy 1L manual) and reviews for 1.6L turbo for Tucson was good.

Any updates on the facelift model? No news on their website or FB about the launch

 

KMC said Sep. Dunno how accurate.

Not sure. Some said Hyundai is ditching the DCT, not the turbo...

Yeah wanted to get the previous 1.6T version. But the DCT was a major concern especially when driving in a city, Glad they ditched it for auto tranny but I hope they keep the 1.6T. Better performance and lower road tax.

yup, quite a few were not used to the DCT, and it caused them some scares.

 

For anyone curious about the FL coming, it actually has a few improvements over the current model that has just stopped selling:

What is the problem on DCT? Why people not used?

I agree that Kona 1.6 is too expensive, even more expensive than Tucson 1.6. See when the new Tucson come lor, if baby 2 comes then might need a bigger car liao. Think ahead is better imo.

What is the problem on DCT? Why people not used?

 

The DCT gearbox is programmed in a certain way (to react in a certain way) when the driver steps on the accelerator in a certain way. In short, there is some pre-programmed reaction from the driver's action.

 

Then if the driver is not used to or not aware of this, and when driver act (step) in a certain way thinking that the car will react in a particular way, but the DCT's pre-program gives another reaction, that's when the driver gets a shock...

 

Some driver complains on MSCP got the engine revs quite high on its own without stepping on the accelerator. Got people steps on the accelerator, then got sound of rev and can see rpm increases, but car didn't move...

 

This is what I heard.

I doubt price will be good.

 

over the past 2 yr, OMV has dropped by maybe 20%, COE by ~$25-20k. But price (before they sold out all Tucsons) was merely few thousands lower...

 

I am guessing komoco will take the chance to raise price (since there are impovements to the last/existing model).

Your current elantra not big enough?

Sounds like DCT gearbox like too high tech or smart? I also dont like such programmed stuff. Lol.

Now still ok, in future then not sure liao.

Exactly. So the 1.6T Tucson was killing the Kona's sale hence they have to stop the tucson to "force" people to buy Kona.

But compare between tucson and kona, isnt tucson looks bigger and spacious? If price not that big difference, maybe people still choose to buy tucson than kona lo.

actually kona is newer than tucson, and has more features plus being smaller/lighter, it is more powerful/faster than Tucson.

 

hence the price was higher than tucson.

Yes, Tucson is bigger. and cheaper.

 

Kona is newer, faster, more features (higher spec), so it's a bit more expensive.

Even the features on the new model of tucson still not as good as the kona?

[terbgill]

1.6L Turbo Kona too expensive liao, dont think many people want to buy.

There were lots of complains in other countries that Hyundai's DCT overheated in traffic jams. Its very risky to drive across to M'sia if this problem persists.
