Context
Why does this story matter?
Hyundai entered the SUV segment in India with the TUCSON back in 2005. The car offered a modern-looking alternative for people searching for a five-seater soft-roader. The new-generation D-segment offering by the South Korean automaker has been received warmly by critics and customers alike, and has garnered over 3,000 bookings on our shores. The four-wheeler rivals the Mahindra XUV700 with Level 2 ADAS functions.
