Front-wheel drive is standard here, with all-wheel drive a $1500 option. We haven't tested that version yet, but in an all-wheel-drive Tucson, the nonturbo 2.5-liter results in a sluggish 8.8-second time to 60 mph. The base 2.5-liter musters just 181 pound-feet of torque and is something we'd skip. Lesser Santa Cruz models ditch the turbo and the dual-clutch for a 191-hp 2.5-liter and a conventional eight-speed automatic. Likewise, our example's 0.82 g of skidpad grip and 171-foot stop from 70 mph also would've been sufficient for top honors in that evaluation. Aided by a light-for-a-truck 4132-pound curb weight, that's enough thrust to outaccelerate all the players in our most recent comparison test of mid-size pickups, all of which weighed in excess of 4500 pounds. The run to 60 mph takes a respectable 6.0 seconds flat, and the quarter-mile passes in 14.5 seconds at 98 mph. Off the line, this powertrain will wait a beat before its turbo starts charging, but it quickly builds a head of steam, delivering a stout 311 pound-feet of torque from 1700 to 4000 rpm. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic channels the torque to all four wheels. Borrowed from the larger Santa Fe, its turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four kicks out a meaningful 281 horsepower. The top-range Limited example we tested had plenty of punch to go along with its moves.
