Engines and Performance
Under the hood, the Hyundai Tucson offers a diverse range of powertrains. Available options include Diesel MHEV, Petrol MHEV, Full Hybrid, and Plugin Hybrid configurations. This variety provides potential buyers with a choice between different levels of power and efficiency. The Tucson runs on a 1.598 cm3 engine, reaching up to 252 HP and sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in as fast as 7.9 seconds. Its all-wheel-drive variant delivers a robust torque of 367 Nm, ensuring a dynamic driving experience.
Conversely, the Jeep Renegade features a slightly reduced engine diversity, offering Petrol MHEV and Plugin Hybrid options. Its smaller engine capacities of 1469 cm3 and 1332 cm3 pack a punch with up to 240 HP. The electric range, though shorter than the Tucson, is handy at 36 km. Notably, the Renegade is no slouch; it speeds from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.1 seconds, indicative of a spirited drive, especially for the all-wheel-drive models with torque rated at 240 Nm.
