The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is really raking in the awards. Earlier this year, it received MotorWeek’s Driver’s Choice Award for “Best Small Utility” and it was also a finalist for the 2016 Green SUV of the year by Green Car Journal. Now, it has been recognized by both Edmunds.com and Parents magazine as a 10 Best Family Car. The two highly reputable automotive outlets awarded the 2016 Tucson for things like its safety and child-friendly features that are found throughout the vehicle’s roomy cabin.
“Hyundai’s Tucson has a spacious interior. Its clever two-stage reclining seats and plenty of legroom allow kids to kick back and relax,” said Dana Points, editor-in-chief, Parents. “Parents whose hands are always full will appreciate the handy tailgate that swings up automatically when you approach with the key in your pocket.”
In terms of safety, the family-friendly SUV comes well equipped. Advanced standard safety features include Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Backup Warning Sensors and Automatic Emergency Braking. For its sophisticated safety tech, the Tucson also earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS’s) 2016 TOP SAFETY PICK+ accolade.
Available in four trims, SE, Eco, Sport and Limited, the all-new Tucson gets standard features like Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, a 5-inch touchscreen, a USB port, and a six-speaker audio system with a CD player and satellite radio.
