| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteHyundai SA brochure (Tucson 2.0 Premium AT) states 'Fuel consumption (European testing) / Combined cycle litres/100 km 8.9'. 'European testing' on a current model most likely denotes WLTP, but that is an inference, not a manufacturer-named standard. Value deliberately kept unknown (not 'wltp') to avoid a false Tier-1 match, since the compare engine's tier rule reads cycle value and ignores confidence. Promote to 'wltp' only once Tier-1 requires settled cycle confidence on both sides. The 8.9 L/100km figure is official. |

| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteGlobal NCAP has not tested the Tucson. Euro NCAP’s 5-star rating (2021) covers only the 1.6-litre Tucson models sold in Europe. The 2.0 petrol sold in South Africa is not on its list, so the rating does not cover it. ANCAP’s 5-star rating (2021) is for Australian Tucson models, which have a centre airbag and automatic emergency braking as standard. The South African 2.0 Premium has six airbags and no automatic emergency braking, so the rating does not cover it. |
| Airbags | 6noteBrochure names airbag categories (driver, passenger, side, curtain) as standard across all trims but does not give a total count; 6 is the standard configuration implied by those categories. |

| Service network | ~103 authorised service points, as at 2 September 2026 In all 9 provinces. Enumerated 2 September 2026 from Hyundai South Africa's own dealer list at /find-a-dealer, which renders the whole national list on one page with no pagination or consent gate. Distinct dealer names reproduce at 101 to 103 across passes, so 103 is approximate rather than exact; higher raw counts are DOM duplicates. All nine provinces are represented, though Hyundai's own province labels contain errors. The list does not distinguish servicing outlets from sales-only ones, so this counts dealer outlets. Compare service networks across all brands →noteAbout 103 South African Hyundai outlets, enumerated rather than sampled. Approximate: distinct names reproduce at 101 to 103. |
What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- 0-100 km/h — No 0–100 km/h figure has been published for this version.
- Kerb weight — Hyundai publishes the kerb weight as a range (1 495–1 616 kg in Australia), not a single figure.
- Payload — Cannot be worked out: the kerb weight is only published as a range.
- Service plan services (unverified) — Worked out from the plan’s 75 000 km at 15 000 km between services. The plan also ends at 5 years, which would bring the count down if services fall due more often than once a year.
- Spare wheel — Hyundai South Africa does not say what spare wheel the Tucson carries.
