Review 2010 Hyundai Tucson Gl

Even though I have been reviewing new cars and trucks for a couple of decades, I still find the various ways automakers approach the restyling of existing product lines to be endlessly fascinating. Cautious or bold, placate the existing customer base or seek out a new niche, the final decision can make or break the model — and sometimes the company.

Hyundai is definitely in a bold phase, with successive iterations of its lineup seeing dramatic improvements in looks, powertrain, handling and reliability. And its new, second-generation Tucson sport-ute is just the latest example. While the original model broke ground in the compact SUV/crossover segment for the company — winning the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada's Best New Crossover Vehicle award for 2005 in the process — it was conventionally styled, designed to fit in with its competition, not stand out.

The same cannot be said of its European-penned replacement. The 2010 Tucson loses its predecessor's pug face and bar-of-soap shape, gaining sharp creases in its sheet metal, the Hyundai family hexagonal front grille, assertive lower air intake, swept-back headlights, wraparound tail lights and more. Beyond the design esthetic, it also gains a roomier, high-styled cabin and increased cargo space.

By far the greatest change occurs under the hood, with the new Tucson gaining the Theta II 2.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine. At 176 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque, Hyundai says the Theta II delivers about the same amount of power and acceleration as the previous model's venerable 2.7L V6, with 20% better fuel economy than the lumpy old 2.0L four-cylinder engine.

In day-to-day operation, the new four-banger has more than enough oomph to handle the GL AWD model's 1,529-kilogram curb weight. The engine is quiet and unobtrusive at a constant speed, responding to a prod of the gas pedal with a quick kick-down — the tester's six-speed manumatic is light years improved over the old four-speed — and the required acceleration. It can get a little gruff at high rpm, but, then again, high rpm is seldom needed. As for fuel economy, I averaged 10.9 litres per 100 kilometres during the week, higher than Transport Canada's combined rating of 8.3 L/100 km, but about the same as I've recorded in most other four-cylinder compact SUVs tested over the past few months.

For what it's worth, Tucsons with automatic transmissions come with an Eco Indicator nestled between the speedometer and tachometer — the green LED lights up in accordance with fuel-efficient driving behaviour. Hyundai claims fuel savings in the range of 15% to 17% are achievable.

Still on the frugal fuel consumption front, the tester came with Kumho low-rolling-resistance silica tires. Laudable as that is, their stiff sidewalls exacerbate an already firm suspension setup, contributing to a rather bumpy ride over rougher surfaces.

Speaking of suspensions, the Tucson employs MacPherson struts up front, a multi-link rear and larger stabilizer bars at both ends, with all four wheels controlled by coil springs and gas-charged dampers. As a result, the SUV displays a fairly flat attitude when cornering.

Hyundai has upped the standard safety technologies for the 2010 Tucson, adding Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Hillstart Assist Control (HAC) to a list that also includes four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control and traction control.

All-wheel-drive models now come with an advanced electronic system that automatically distributes the power equally. Under normal driving situations, power is sent only to the front wheels; a driver-selectable AWD lock allows for a 50/50 torque split between the front and rear wheels for off-road and very slippery conditions.

The Tucson's electric rack-and-pinion power steering is firm at low speeds, unlike most other similar systems, and it doesn't lighten up at higher speeds, remaining heavy as well as slightly dead on-centre. I'd rather have this than an over-boosted, numb system, but it wouldn't kill Hyundai's engineers to dial in a little more assist for parking manoeuvres.

As much as the new Tucson's exterior makes its predecessor's look dowdy, it's the high-tech interior layout that really surprises and impresses. Yes, there is still too much hard plastic, but at least it's textured. Plus the cabin's two-tone colour scheme and tasteful use of satin trim (primarily on the steering wheel, centre stack and vents) goes a long way in mitigating any cheapness. And I love the cat's-eye shaped tachometer and speedometer in the instrument panel, the signature blue lighting (very easy on the eyes) and the well-marked and properly situated knobs, buttons and controls. The cloth-covered front seats offer proper support for long drives and have sculpted backs so taller rear-seat passengers gain just a little extra knee room. That said, even with the added wheelbase, it can be a tad tight for six-footers in the back if the front-seat occupants are of similar dimension. Disappointments? Only one, really. At $26,699 for the GL AWD, heated seats should be standard on this trim level.

The Tucson's new overt styling gives it the visibility to stand out among the competition in a well-populated segment that is forecasted to grow at a rate above the overall industry average. And under that bold sheet metal is an inherently decent and well-engineered crossover runabout that is ideal as a day-to-day urban/suburban commuter.

Standard features: Air conditioning with cabin air filter, AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with auxiliary plug-in and six speakers, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, power door locks, power windows with driver's side auto-down, power heated outside mirrors, tilt steering wheel, rear spoiler, cloth seats and interior trim, carpeted floor mats, map lights, rear window defroster, rear window washer/wiper, roof-mounted antenna, bucket front seats with adjustable headrests and lumbar support, split-folding rear seats with adjustable headrests, storage tray, three 12-volt outlets.

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof $21.32 The definitive text of this American classic—reissued with an introduction by Edward Albee (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? andA Delicate Balance) and Williams' essay Person-to-Person.Cat on a Hot Tin Roof first heated up Broadway in 1955 with its gothic American story of brothers vying for their dying father's inheritance amid a whirlwind of sexuality, untethered in the person of Maggie the Cat. The play also daringly showcased the burden of sexuality repressed in the agony of her husband, Brick Pollitt. In spite of the public controversyCat stirred up, it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Circle Award for that year. Williams, as he so often did with his plays, rewroteCat on a Hot Tin Roof for many years—the present version was originally produced at the American Shakespeare Festival in 1974 with all the changes that made Williams finally declare the text to be definitive, and was most recently produced on Broadway in the 2003-04 season. This definitive edition also includes Williams' essay Person-to-Person, Williams' notes on the various endings, and a short chronology of the author's life.One of America's greatest living playwrights, as well as a friend and colleague of Williams, Edward Albee has written a concise introduction to the play from a playwright's perspective, examining the candor, sensuality, power, and impact ofCat on a Hot Tin Roof then and now.
