Engines and transmissions are carried over previous 2020 Tucson, as is the diesel’s eight-speed transmission, but the major difference is a safety improvement.
Smart Sense – safety features
Speaking of those features: Smart Sense gives you camera-based auto emergency braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist and driver attention alert which is similar to the features available in ToyotaRav4
There’s also some more important stuff included with the 2021 Hyundai Tucson SE. It comes with dual-zone climate control air conditioning and an electronic parking brake, all of which are quite important features on the base model.
The safety kit also includes adaptive cruise control, which is a radar-based cruise control that adapts to traffic congestion. At emergency braking, there are two types of “Forward Collision Mitigation”: one that uses the camera to stop you in an emergency situation at urban speeds (on Active and Active X), and another that uses radar (as part of adaptive cruise control) to adjust your speed and stop if possible, at highway speeds.
