A media briefing was held on Tuesday to announce the introduction of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson to Sri Lankan roads. Continuing Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design theme that debuted on the 2015 Genesis, 2016 Tucson employs refined aesthetics with sculpted body forms and sporty contours for an athletic, bold and striking appearance. The front is dominated by a hexagonal-shaped grille - a key element of Hyundai’s design signature, enhanced by available high-efficiency LED twin-projector headlights, LED headlight accents and integrated LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). Tucson’s wheelbase increases by more than an inch for enhanced design magnitude and a smoother ride. Tucson comes with 18-inch alloy wheels that are offered with a dynamic spoke design, housed in forward-raking wheel arches. Roof rails are sleek and lowprofile for a clean, yet functional appearance. From the rear, an Z-shaped character line above the rear wheel accentuates an aggressive, sporty side profile. The rear angle conveys stability and a wide, sporty stance, for agility both on and off-road. The taillights also apply LED technology, creating a premium design element, while providing enhanced visibility from the rear. Finally, twin, bevel-cut chrome exhaust tips and a standard rear spoiler add even more sporty cues from the rear view.

Powerful and efficient new powertrains
transmissions is easier to operate than ever before tanks to much improve NVH. 2016 Tucson power train offerings also have been improved with top efficiency levels as a primary target.
