New Hyundai Tucson

Is Tuscon using timing chain?

 

also are the parts shared with other current Hyundai models like sonata and elantra, e.g. fan belt, air filter etc. thanks.

Yes .. Using timing chain.. Certain parts are shared with other models but I don't have the exact details.

Some reference to using Euro 4 ATF for one class. Meaning gearbox is not suitable for Euro 5  and already current standard is now Euro 6 for some years now.

Going to be difficult to maintain the gearbox as availability for OEM Euro 4 may become more limited and difficult in 10 years time (lifetime of car).

Don't understand what you're trying to say... Euro 4, 5 & 6 refers to emissions standards for petrol and diesel engines in Europe. I don't understand why that's used in conjunction with automatic transmission fluid? You don't burn the fluid, so there's no emission... so why the reference to the Euro 4, 5 or 6 emissions standards?

They are intertwined and linked with the type of oil. Extensive tests involved before approval. Not interchangeable

First time I have heard of Euro 4 standard for gearbox oil, pls state your source of info.

Some additive components in the transmission and engine oils are common . When the engine standards get upgraded, those components become redundant and the component manufacturers will move over to the new components and may stop the production of those from the earliest specification (uneconomic )..

You think too far so fast think to renew 10 yr COE??

Parts keep improving it will always be obsolete sooner or later, car also keep improving variant every 3-5 years anyway, handphone even worse change every year.. 

 

I realized there are many type of ATF in market, make sure use SP-IV as what instruction stated.

If the new components are better cos they last longer under load, then it will also be better for the older engines. It's just a lubricant. And many third world countries still use cars decades older, there's still a substantial market for old parts and other consumables. So there's always a source for these oils if you really need them. Although I don't think that there's really a need to be so specific... the engines and gearboxes are manufactured to very high tolerances. Edited May 24, 2016 by teomingern

Totally agreed. For engine oil, just follow manufacturer specifications, for gearbox oil, use the specific type required for your transmission. Whether engine follow euro 5 or 6 standard, it should not really affect the oils being used. I realized that a lot of the local AD workshops like to use Shell Helix ultra 5w-40, cos it is relatively cheap to use, and they tend to use it across all of the models for convenience.

Check with you guys anyone driving it is the ride good. I am choosing between this and forester . But seems to prefer this Tuscon. How is the resale value is it better then the forester. My insurance friend told me the forester insurance is much more expensive . Any Old owners drove the Tuscon before is it lei chei . My first car was 93 old Hyundai Elantra in 1993 . Not so good but not sure about now .

I owned the first generation of Tucson (manual) when I was in Perth. The car was good and FC was average about 8.3 litres per 100 km. It's the solid build car but the design was very Korean during that time. Engine was reliable but I sold it after 3 years due to low usage.

Now I own this latest Tucson in Singapore. After driving it for 6 weeks (2400km),the FC is pretty good. I managed to achieve 7.8 litres per 100km. Well, that also depends on your driving behaviour. I am a light footer and I dont tailgate cars. Apart from that, if you choose to buy the Sunroof version, it packs with a lot of safety features like blind spot, front and back sensors, 6 air bag and smart tailgate. Those are really worth an additional 10K on top of the base model. The body metal is thicker and heavier as compared to other Japanese car hence its FC is not as good as them but it earns a 5 start ENCAP safety rating. I had tested drive Subaru XV and Nissan QQ. Believe me the cabin noise of Tucson is alot quiet than them. At the end of the day, it's 2 FWD car rather than 4WD like Forester. We don't need 4WD on Singapore's road and incur more cost on Petrol.

I don't get caught in heavy jam but slightly only normally in the morning at 7am. I use Shell and SPC so far and have not tried caltex and esso. After 300km I normally hit 7.6 litre.

Hi guys,

 

I'm interested in the new Tucson but I have read some reviews in Hyundai Singapore FB and it seem that there are some problems in new Hyundai cars and bad service at the service centre.

 

Could new and existing Tucson owners offer some advise on reliability and after sales support?

 

Lastly, what are the freebies that the SE will offer? Any gd SE to recommend?

 

Thank you!

Hi Tucson bro wanna know if it's possible to link the reverse cam to the HU as the reverse cam display on the rear mirror is pretty same. And also the Sony HU is it also inside the 5 yrs warranty?
