2013 Hyundai Tucson

The redesigned 2013 Hyundai Tucson is a no-frills but surprisingly well-rounded compact SUV. The cargo area feels light, and the interior materials are average. Still, this model delivers performance on par with bigger SUVs in this class at a price that's easier to swallow. The overall packaging of the cabin makes great use of its space; amenity options match competitors, and altogether excellent fuel efficiency makes it easy to see why this car was "Green Car of the Year." With exceptional torque throughout its rev range - which translates into instantaneous off-the-line acceleration and impressive passing ability - as well as 12 city/19 highway mpg (EPA 2012), an available 203hp powertrain offers best-in-class horsepower for those looking for utility alongside respectable performance. And though it only seats five adults and doesn't overwhelm with features or luxury touches, Hyundai continues to offer competitive pricing across the board while offering top safety ratings thanks to standard frontal airbags (which are designed to go low enough to impact maximum abdominal protection from knees to chin) along with stability control, antilock disc brakes, tire pressure monitoring system with tpms warning lamp for puncture alert, traction control, hill start assist and electronic brakeforce distribution.

The 2013 Hyundai Tucson is a crossover SUV that's getting impressive fuel economy estimates thanks to both its powertrain and an early focus on downsizing of engines. Its power comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder matched with a six-speed automatic or manual transmission, supplying 163 horsepower and 144 pound-feet of torque without much sacrifice in fuel economy figures. EPA estimates are impressive for the class at 20/27 mpg city/highway. However, we suspect real-world reports will come closer to manufacturer claims over the long haul driven by owners focused on returning good mileage.

Best Replacement Parts for your 2013 Hyundai Tucson

One of the first suggestions we have for your 2013 Hyundai Tucson is to change out the headlights. The stock ones are pretty boring and rectangular-looking, while aftermarket LED lights from Spyder Auto can give them a much sleeker and meaner look. To compliment those new headlights, you may also want to add Extreme Dimensions side skirts that'll perfectly fit right in with your ride's looks. And last but not least, EGR rear spoilers will finish off the overall aggressive look of your Hyundai Tucson!

How to improve the performance of the 2013 Hyundai Tucson?

To improve the performance of the 2013 Hyundai Tucson, we suggest replacing a few parts. First, replace your factory suspension components with some aftermarket ones from KW Suspension. They are built to last and will help you steer sharper around corners while reducing understeer! Then, pick up an air intake system from TurboXS to increase airflow throughout your engine bay. This will allow more oxygen into your combustion chambers which means it'll run better! Finally, install a tuning chip from ESS Tuning to give yourself complete control of when and how much fuel is being dumped into the engine by the ECU.

We recommend that you upgrade the exhaust system on your Tucson with Stillen's Sport Axleback Exhaust Kit. These kits are some of the best sounding ones out there, and they give you that well-known European sound to your car. Plus, these mufflers don't allow for too much back pressure like aftermarket headers do, so it gives you a nice, smooth sound without being too loud. Get it from us at Genesis Tuners today!
