Should arrive soon - as this is the time for most model change-overs.
 
This is the press release for the 07 Tucson - look for more details in the upcoming weeks:

According to the press release, the Tucson retains the 173HP engine spec from the last two years. I was under the impression that the 2007 would be upgraded to the same 2.7L v6 that the Santa Fe has, which puts up 185hp, I believe.
 
I don't see why Hyundai would make two output versions of essentially the identical engine.

It looks like the 2007 Tucson brochure is available on the Hyundai website. Unfortunately, the Tucson hasn't changed much since 2006.

Will someone direct me to a good Forum link (Hyundai or Tucson)where basic (good tips) maintenance, inspection and repair may be found?
 
I am the 40K Tucson chap that has tested this car to the limit. In general I am very impressed by this car. When I bought the car in the USA, I though that after the driving torture the car underwent in almost 2 year of inhospitable roads, I will get rid off of it because the car will eventually fall in pieces. This didn’t happen and now I am determined to keep the car and look after it. I have done “Do-It-Yourself Maintenance” given in the Tucson Owner’s Manual and I expect to continue doing it. I have also bought the Tucson Shop Manuals. Only serious repairs will require a Hyundai garage.
 
The car went through those horrible and unexpected “Speed Humps” that populated all of Mexico, Central America and South America roads. I perceive when the car is driven at slow speed (5-10 miles/hr) an audible repetitive noise (a noise like slapping someone) as if something is catching on something else. The frequency increase with the speed until it disappears when the car runs at around 30 miles/hr upward.

This sounds like a good place for you to hang out and help the new owners and hopefully get some tips yourself:

Are we allowed to post links to other sites that would be useful to other members? I don't want to break any rules.

I hope that helps!

4-cyl 2.0L Engine idle speed high 2000-2700rpm !!! by tall_paul

I have a manual 4-cylinder 2.0L * NEW * Tucson 2006:
When stopped after 1+ hour session of highway driving,
the engine idle speed stays high between 2000-2700 RPM until I re-engage gears, and only then RPM decelerates when driving again, until next stop.
After a cool down, idle speed is "normal".
 
Within 3 weeks of buying the car * NEW *, the check engine light came on. IDLE AIR ACTUATOR (motor) was warranty-replaced. Now same curious idle speed !!!

Both problems seem related.

Hyundai has a lot of problems with their OBD sensors. Simply cheap. Expect more problems and check engine lights before all the bad ones are replaced. The high idle is likely the mass airflow sensor. Dealers when they can't get a specific code, or don't take the time to look at all the data will replace the cheapest part first. While that may sound like a good business practice, it isnt as its wrong to keep having the customer return for the same problem. A good tech can easily fix the problem as high idles leave many trails on the OBD. Look on your receipt to see if they listed a diagnostic code.
