The Hyundai Tucson (known as ix35 on some markets) it`s a new breathtaking vehicle. It is 10 cm larger than the Nissan Qashqai (Roque) and Ford Escape, which means more space for more passengers. The design is incredible, stable and secure from the inside and dashing from the outside. There is a panoramic glass roof, air-conditioning, heated leather seats, standardized keyless entry and automatic windscreen wipers included in the top models. The suspension is smooth so it provides secure long trips.

The six-speed “Shiftronic” transmission provides more control.
