Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM164,888 1.6T Prime: its 178 hp 1.6-litre turbo engine gives a clear 24 hp step over the RM143,888 2.0 Style’s 154 hp, while retaining FWD and a wet dual-clutch automatic. Pay RM186,888 for the Prestige AWD only if four-wheel drive is a requirement. The RM197,888 Prestige Hybrid is the power choice, with 242 hp and FWD. On paper, the step-ups are driveline and output changes; check the equipment list before spending more for trim.

Hyundai Tucson buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Tucson covers a broad mechanical spread, from the 154 hp 2.0 Style to the 242 hp Prestige Hybrid, and AWD is available without making every buyer pay for it. Its entry price is already above the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70, Jetour Dashing, GWM Haval H6, Omoda Jaecoo J7 and Mazda CX-5. The highest-priced Tucson sits well beyond those rivals’ stated entry prices. Price is its hard sell.
