And compared with competitive offerings from Mazda (CX-5), Honda (CR-V) and Toyota (RAV4), that may be a negative for someone who wants top shelf fuel economy from their compact SUV. I am currently getting 11.4 L/100 KM which is about 1 L/100 KM to 1.5 L/100 KM more than in my 2016 model that comes with the turbo engine and the dual clutch transmission. But this engine transmission combo doesn’t deliver the best fuel economy. It’s a smooth shifting unit that I have no complaints about. Thus if you like a more spirited drive, you aren’t going to get it here.Īnother change for 2019 is that the seven speed dual clutch transmission is gone in favor of a six speed automatic. But it just lacks the punch that the turbo engine provided. That’s not to say that it’s a bad engine as it will still move you past transport trucks and allow you to merge traffic with no issues. And the drop in torque is noticeable if you’re someone like me who’s driven the 1.6L turbo engine version. Horsepower is a peak measurement which makes torque far more important as that’s what gets you off the line and around transport trucks. In comparison with the 1.6L turbo engine that used to power this trim level, it has 6 more horsepower, but 20 less pound feet of torque. It puts out 181 horsepower and 175 pound feet of torque. This is the 2.4 L engine that powers the 2019 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate.
