Hyundai India is working towards offering the all new Tucson SUV in the native market of our country. The eminent Hyundai Tucson would the brand’s sole SUV offering that is still about to arrive in the country.

The USV looks strikingly different from the Creta rolled out by the brand, while being laden with curves and poised drawn outlines. The look is amazingly clear when one looks at the side profile of the car that looks catchy and stylish both, making you fall in love with the curves of the SUV. The lengthy bonnet slopes towards the front, quite gently, along with the A-pillar that looks separate from the bonnet that adds on to the length of the car, making it appear well molded and sporty at the same time.

Insides: The moment you step inside the SUV, you might face disappointment as the interiors are not as major as the outsides.

The car is fortified further with dual-clutch transmissions that are out on the petrol models, the diesels acquire a conventional six-speed automatic.

Pricing: Hyundai is probable to trade in the Tucson to begin with, while the car carries a price tag of INR 18 lakh that would permit the car to face the Honda CR-V.
