2021 Hyundai Tucson pricing and features

The 2021 Hyundai Tucson range has officially gone on sale in Australia, starting from $38,338 driveaway.

The mid-size SUV will be available in three different variants from launch – the baseline Tucson, Tucson Elite and Tucson Highlander.

There will be three different engines and three different gearboxes on offer for the Aussie market too, depending on the variant chosen.

These will become available over time, with the naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre petrol-powered Tucsons the first to go on sale Down Under, the turbo 1.6-litre petrol engine due between May and June, and the turbo-diesel-powered variants expected in Australia from about July.

The entry-level Tucson comes with 2.0-litre auto powertrain with six-speed manual no longer an option

The 2021 Tucson range starts with the eponymous entry-level Tucson, which will only be available with a naturally aspirated 'SmartStream' 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a six-speed torque converter automatic only – the six-speed manual will no longer be offered, which means you'll have to pay more to enter the Tucson club.

Power is rated at 115kW and 192Nm, with the drive being sent exclusively to the front wheels.

The base variant comes standard with an eight-inch multimedia unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 4.2-inch supervision cluster, power-folding automatic side mirrors, 17-inch alloy wheels, dusk-sensing headlights and LED daytime running lights (DRLs).
