Buyers can option both the Active X with the 'SmartSense' safety pack at a cost of $2200, and that brings not only extra high-tech safety gear, but some additional desirable equipment, too. 

The pack adds blind spot monitor (also known as lane change assist), driver attention warning, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, auto emergency braking (AEB), lane departure warning with active lane keep assist (with power steering intervention), rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive cruise control (which works down to 0km/h). It also adds dual-zone climate control, a cooled glovebox, electric park brake, electric folding and heated side mirrors, and puddle lamps to the base two grades.

All Hyundai Tucson models come with a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, life-time capped price servicing, and 10 years' roadside assist if you service your car at a designated dealership.

Plus, Active X buyers have access to GPS navigation system map updates when they service their car.
