The feature is designed to give the gasoline-powered SUV an experience closer to that of an electric vehicle, Hyundai Motor said.

The Tucson SUV also marks an important step in Hyundai Motor’s software-defined vehicle strategy.

It is the first Hyundai SUV to feature Pleos Connect, the group's latest connected car platform.

Before Tucson, Hyundai Motor adopted the latest infotainment platform for the facelifted Grandeur and fully redesigned Avante.

"With this full model change, the all-new Tucson has achieved innovation across design, space, electrification and digital technology," an official from Hyundai Motor said.
