The popular Hyundai Tucson is getting connected for 2023, with Hyundai’s Bluelink net-based suite of services now standard across most of the range – with prices increasing by $500 for these models.

Following the larger Palisade and smaller Venue SUVs, the mid-sized Tucson range picks up services like Automatic Collision Notification, SOS Emergency Call and Natural Voice Control standard on Elite and Highlander variants.

Hyundai Bluelink is free of charge with purchase for the first five years, and is transferrable to subsequent owners within said five-year period.
