Rumble In The Concrete Jungle

AS an enthusiast, you’ve probably wondered why many of your non-enthusiast friends are keen on getting a sports utility vehicle (SUV) despite its downsides, which include tricky handling in carparks and potentially higher fuel costs.

But for regular motorists, an SUV’s higher stance, rugged styling and flexible cabin appeal to their sense of adventure, especially if their weekends are filled with activities such as cycling, hiking and wakeboarding. For these weekend warriors, a vehicle that complements their active lifestyle is more important than one that’s fun to drive.

Promising more than just ruggedness is the 1.6-litre Hyundai Tucson Turbo, which has the punchiest powertrain in this story. The Tucson also has a roomy interior, which will undoubtedly attract family men.
