What's the story
Hyundai has launched the 2022 TUCSON in India with a starting price of Rs. 27.7 lakh. The SUV is offered in two variants: Platinum and Signature.

The four-wheeler looks stylish and is offered with a pair of 2.0-liter engines.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Hyundai has been on a roll in India's SUV segment lately, with products such as the VENUE and CRETA doing well in terms of sales figures. However, the automaker has not been able to capture the premium segment in a similar manner to date. The 2022 TUCSON intends to change that with its competitive pricing.
