The introduction of the new TUCSON should boost Hyundai's sales on our shores. It should be priced competitively in order to rival the Volkswagen Tiguan, Citroen C5 Aircross, and Jeep Compass.

The new-generation Hyundai TUCSON sports a 'Parametric Jewel' grille with integrated LED DRLs, a sculpted bonnet, boomerang-shaped headlamps, and a wide air vent. It is flanked by roof rails, black B-pillars, ORVMs, squared wheel arches, and 18-inch dual-tone alloy rims. A shark-fin antenna, a raked windscreen, and a full-width taillight with a toothy design grace the rear end of the four-wheeler.

The India-specific Hyundai TUCSON should run on a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that generates 157hp/191Nm and a 2.0-liter diesel mill that makes 182.4hp/400Nm. Transmission duties should be handled by a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
