The Hyundai Tucson has evolved over the years, transforming from a modest SUV to a progressive feature-rich vehicle. With the current year model, Hyundai continues to build on its SUV legacy by incorporating design trends, technology, and performance enhancements. The Tucson's history reflects Hyundai's commitment to delivering vehicles that meet the diverse needs of modern drivers, and the versatile 2023 Tucson brings a blend of contemporary styling and advanced features to the compact SUV segment.
Hands-Free Smart Power Liftgate
This class-exclusive available system allows users to effortlessly open and close the rear liftgate without the need to touch or handle the vehicle. Imagine you approach your Tucson, hands laden with groceries, bags, or any other items. Instead of fumbling for keys or struggling to open the liftgate manually, a simple, intuitive motion under the rear of the vehicle activates the sensor, prompting the liftgate to open automatically. Customizable to suit individual preferences, users have the flexibility to adjust settings such as the height to which the liftgate opens. This personalization ensures that the liftgate operates exactly how the driver wants it, catering to a diverse range of users and their unique needs. This feature is a game-changer for those moments when your hands are full, providing a seamless and stress-free experience. Hyundai has crafted this feature with precision and finesse, ensuring that the motion activation is not only functional but also feels intuitive and responsive.
Remote Smart Parking Assist
Designed to alleviate the challenges of parking in tight spaces, the revolutionary available Remote Smart Parking Assist feature redefines parking convenience by allowing drivers to control certain parking functions from outside the vehicle. Picture a crowded parking lot where space is limited. With a simple command from the smart key or the Hyundai Blue Link app, the Tucson can autonomously maneuver itself into a parking spot, be it a parallel or perpendicular space. This is particularly beneficial in urban settings where finding suitable parking can be a time-consuming and stressful task. The driver can guide the Tucson into the parking space with ease, standing outside the vehicle and using the smart key or the mobile app to control the precise movements. This not only protects the car from potential damage but also reduces the likelihood of accidental collisions with neighboring vehicles. It's a feature that enhances not only convenience but also the overall safety of the vehicle in crowded parking scenarios. As the automotive industry embraces the era of smart and connected vehicles, Hyundai's integration of this feature reflects a step toward a future where vehicles are not just modes of transportation but intelligent and adaptive companions that make daily tasks more efficient.
Digital Key
This cutting-edge technology brings sheer convenience to the table by leveraging the power of your smartphone and transforming it into a virtual key. Security is a valid concern for vehicle owners, and the Digital Key utilizes sophisticated encryption methods to prevent unauthorized access. Picture a scenario in which you're approaching your Tucson with arms full of groceries, and the last thing you want to do is fumble for your keys. With the Digital Key, your smartphone becomes your key, allowing you to unlock and start your Tucson with a simple tap or proximity detection. This hands-free approach to vehicle access streamlines the process, making it particularly useful in situations where you have your hands full or need to access your vehicle swiftly. The Digital Key can also be shared with family members or trusted individuals through the convenient app, allowing you to grant temporary access to others without handing over a physical key. Embracing the digital age while anticipating the evolving needs of modern drivers, the Digital Key app is designed with a user-friendly interface, making it easy for drivers to set up and manage. The Digital Key is not just a technological add-on; it's a fundamental shift in the relationship between drivers and their cars.

Bluelink
Hyundai's Bluelink is a comprehensive telematics system that seamlessly integrates smart technology into the driving experience and defines the Tucson as a connected and intelligent vehicle in the modern automotive landscape. This innovative platform is more than just a convenience; it's a powerful tool that connects drivers to their vehicles and prioritizes enhanced safety, security, and control. The game-changing Automatic Collision Notification and Assistance feature provides an extra layer of safety in the unfortunate event of a collision, and Bluelink is designed to automatically notify emergency services and share crucial information, such as the vehicle's location and the severity of the collision. The Geofence feature in Bluelink allows you to set geographical boundaries for your Tucson; and if the Tucson enters or exits the predefined geofenced area, Bluelink sends an alert, providing real-time information about the vehicle's location. The convenient Remote Vehicle Start feature allows drivers to start their Tucson remotely in order to pre-condition the vehicle and ensure it's at the optimal temperature before you even step inside. On top of safety and security, Bluelink enhances convenience with its Remote Door Lock and Unlock feature. Imagine reaching your destination and realizing you forgot to lock your car. Instead of returning to the vehicle, Bluelink allows you to lock or unlock your Tucson remotely using the mobile app. This simple yet effective feature adds a level of flexibility to your daily routine, saving you time and effort. Hyundai's commitment to innovation is evident as Bluelink sets a standard for what drivers can expect from the intersection of technology and automotive excellence.
Hyundai SmartSense
This comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistance features is designed to provide a heightened level of protection and convenience. Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go offers a dynamic cruising experience by maintaining a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. This system can even bring the Tucson to a complete stop and resume driving, making highway journeys much more relaxed. Highway Driving Assist takes driver assistance to the next level, combining Smart Cruise Control with Lane Keeping Assist which is designed to prevent unintentional lane departure. This results in a semi-autonomous driving experience, where the Tucson can maintain a set speed and adjust within the lane, providing a more relaxing drive on well-marked highways. The proactive safety measure of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist additionally monitors the road ahead for potential collisions amd can apply emergency braking to prevent or mitigate the severity of an impact, while Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go with Curve Control enhances the cruise control system by utilizing navigation data to adjust speed before upcoming curves, providing a more intuitive and seamless driving experience. By combining adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, lane-keeping, and attentive driving features, the Hyundai Tucson prioritizes both the safety of its occupants while providing a secure and comfortable environment for drivers and passengers alike.
Hyundai has equipped the tech-savvy Tucson with an impressive array of features, showcasing the brand's commitment to technological innovation that caters to the connectivity and safety needs of modern drivers. The Hyundai Tucson offers a premium driving experience without the premium price tag and stands out as a well-rounded and stylish vehicle that caters to the diverse preferences of SUV enthusiasts.
