India Today
The fourth generation Hyundai Tucson is all-set to be launched in India and ahead of its arrival we got our first look at the company's flagship SUV along with a demo of its ADAS features.
Hyundai's Tucson enters its fourth generation with a striking new design, increased proportions, more space within the cabin, a longer list of features and Hyundai SmartSense with Level 2 ADAS capability.
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson debuts the brand's striking new design philosophy with sharp creases as well as the dark chrome Parametric front grille that blends seamlessly with the LED DRLs. The LED treatment carries on to the headlamps and the tail lamps too. The new Tucson is 150mm longer, 15mm wider and 5mm taller than the outgoing model and the wheelbase has increased by 85mm as well. It gets 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The interior too has received a massive upgrade, complete with a digital instrument panel, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and touch controls for the dual-zone auto aircon. There's a long list of features on offer including a panoramic sunroof, ventilation and heating for the front seats, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, electrically adjustable seats with driver-side memory function and more.
In a first for Hyundai in India, the new Tucson debuts Advanced Driver Assist Systems or ADAS features to enhance the safety of those within the car as well as fellow road users. We got to sample some of these features in a controlled environment to get an idea of how they function.
What is ADAS?
To put it simply, ADAS comprises cameras and radar-based sensors to make a vehicle and its driver aware of the surroundings that they’re operating in. In doing so, the cameras and sensors pick up inputs relating to other vehicles, pedestrians, road signs, obstacles and lanes among other things to determine the relative position of the vehicle they’re attached to. These inputs also calculate the speed of the vehicle in relation to all the other variables listed to maintain a safe distance or compensate for changes, applying emergency brakes if needed or even promptsteering to keep within lanes among other functions. The Hyundai SmartSense (ADAS) features in the Tucson are classified as level 2.
