Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection is standard across all trims, and with this technology, the vehicle detects any pedestrians or cars on the road by alerting you. Tucson’s forward camera and radar detect and notify of any possible collision. Another standard tech is the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, which prevents collision with vehicles approaching from the driver’s blind spot.

On the 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited, this system is expanded with Junction Turning detection, which intervenes if oncoming cross-traffic poses a risk during left-hand turns.
