Hyundai enhances NVH with 2016 Tucson's re-engineered suspension-including ‘world first’ dual-member damper housing

No area of the third-generation Tucson crossover utility vehicle was left untouched by Hyundai engineers, but particular attention was placed on re-engineering the chassis for improved ride and handling, and importantly, better NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) characteristics.

Not surprisingly, the 2016 Tucson platform is larger than the previous generation's; however, engineers focused on improving width and wheelbase for greater ride comfort and linear stability, according to Mike O'Brien, Vice President, Corporate and Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America (HMA).
