#51 of 1439 Interior dimensions? by shooterd Apr 29, 2004 (7:15 am)
Are the numbers that Edmunds has in their specs section correct for luggage and cargo space?? I mean, how could this thing compete with a CR-V (maximum cargo space of 72 cubes) with a supposed maximum cargo space of 28 cubes and luggage room of 11 cubes? Was just wondering if there were confirmation of these numbers anywhere. I'd consider buying one of these if the numbers here were more in line with the CR-V. I know the pictures certainly "look" like there's more room than that.

Replying to: shooterd (Apr 29, 2004 7:15 am) Ok, kind of answering my own question here. Wouldn't you know that I'd find an article I hadn't seen before AFTER I posted this that discusses interior cargo room and what they are guessing the true total cargo room might really be.   http://www.autosite.com/Previews/2005-hyundai-tucson.asp   "Hyundai claims that maximum cargo capacity is 39.9 cubic feet, which would rank it at the bottom of the segment – we suspect this measurement does not include any space above the vehicle’s beltline, and we’d guess that the Tucson could actually hold about 60 cubes of cargo."

I tried getting on to Hyundai's Korean website to no avail...won't go through. Anybody have any luck? I was going to buy the Elantra GT... but I can wait a few months...the Tucson seems even more practical. Replies to this message: andil1 (May 02, 2004 1:05 pm)

Replying to: orangelebaron (May 02, 2004 9:39 am) Orangelebaron, go to http://www.hyundai-motor.com/main.html. That's the Korean website. At the bottom right, there's a picture of the Tucson with the word "click." It will open up quite a cool presentation of the car. It takes awhile to load. Then it's like being a kid in a candy store--which episode to click on next? It's quite fun and very informative--lots of pictures of the inside. And there are some English subtitles. Unless the Java settings for your browser are goofed up, you should be able to get into it.

Great! What's next on the menu? Hybrids?
#56 of 1439 Thanks Andil by orangelebaron May 03, 2004 (1:46 pm)
All the other manufacturer's should be ashamed of themselves for making side airbags an option or making you have to get the high end model before you can get them. You can't get side bags or disk brakes on a Tribute/Escape unless you get a 6 cylinder. Try to find side airbags on a RAV4 without AWD...not gonna happen. You can spend over 25 thou for a Vue or an Equinox...but your'e still stuck with drums. Want heated mirrors? Most don't even offer 'em. Don't want a tire stuck on the back of your ute'? Forget about RAV4 and CRV.   So a big pat on the back to Hyundai for making these things standard across the board. I've been disappointed by so many cars out there one way or another. Hopefully this Tucson will do it.

toss in a good looking interior, and you have one winner.
#58 of 1439 Vue by alpha01 Jun 02, 2004 (7:17 pm)
"You can spend over 25 thou for a Vue or an Equinox...but your'e still stuck with drums."   Im pretty sure you get discs on the Honda V6 equipped Vue.   Is the Tuscon going to have seat mounted chest and head protection side airbags or the more desirable seat mounted chest bag and curtain setup?   The only things that turn me off about the Tuscon: same old, fairly high tech but low output and inefficienct V6 (sorry, but with the auto and AWD -probably going to be outrun by the signficantly lighter yet 4 cylinder AWD RAV4 and CRVs), and where is stability control? Toyota scores big points in my book for ABS and VSC standard. I dont see it as much of an issue in cars (though stability control is still HUGELY beneficial, theres a much lower threat of rolling inherent in passenger cars), but short wheelbase vehicles w/ high centers of gravity.....   ~alpha

the Koreans typically have lower fuel economy than the Japanese.
#60 of 1439 OK, Hyundai... by shado4 Jun 24, 2004 (5:33 pm)
...it's officially summer! Where are you hiding all the Tucsons? No web updates of your Tucson micro site since February...nothing to tease us. I've actually had to go to your Korean website to get my "fix" of information.   Anybody know when Hyundai really plans to release the Tucson?   Impatient in Pittsburgh...
