Hyundai Tucson

Hyundai Tucson has posed as a premium SUV in Indian markets with its performance, luxury, and latest features. First launched in 2004 and with four generations being popular in its segment, this car is built on the Hyundai-Kia N3 platform with a muscular exterior design, luxurious interiors, and a host of advanced safety features with the latest ADAS technology.

Hyundai Tucson Price

Hyundai offers the Tucson in two significant variants, which are Platinum and Signature. The Hyundai Tucson price in India starts at Rs. 2731660 and goes up to Rs. 3533700 (ex-showroom, Delhi). This price comes with added features as well as performance from both the petrol and diesel options that should appeal to those interested in a premium SUV.

Most Value For Money Variant

The variant that best offers value for money will be the Platinum, as it would come at a price lower than the top-end Signature variant but will still be equipped with crucial premium features such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, six airbags, and parking sensors. It will thus offer a fine balance of luxury, performance, and safety, making it a tough contender for the value-conscious buyer.

Key Features of Hyundai Tucson

Tucson is known for its maximum comfort and convenience. It has an advanced, high-quality touchscreen measuring 10.25 inches with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smoother connectivity. It adds a panoramic sunroof to the cabin, brings climate control with dual-zone, offers wireless phone charging, and has ventilated front seats to ensure comfort. For audiophiles, it has a Bose 8-speaker sound system. It gives the luxury of premium sound quality. Connected car technology and ADAS features like lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring are available with Hyundai's Bluelink, while mileage is one of the primary aims of this luxury sedan.

Hyundai Tucson Mileage 

The Tucson offers good mileage in comparison to its size and performance. The petrol variant gives a return of about 13kmpl. The diesel variant offers a mileage of around 15 kmpl. ARAI figures happen to be the basis for these numbers. Both variants have been loaded up with automatic transmission to lend it easy city and highway usage.

How Safe is Hyundai Tucson?

The Tucson takes safety seriously with a rich suite of features. It includes six airbags, ABS with EBD, and Electronic Stability Control for better steering control. In addition, Vehicle Stability Management enhances road grip, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System helps in maintaining the health of your tyres. The MODEL also includes Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and more, providing a higher level of safety for drivers and passengers.
 
Colour Option

The Hyundai Tucson comes in numerous colours so there is something to suit every taste. There are five monotone colour options: Atlas White, Abyss Black, Amazon Grey, Starry Night, and Fiery Red. However, not everyone will be happy to receive a purely monochromatic color scheme, hence also a choice of dual-tone color schemes such as the option for Atlas White with an Abyss Black roof or the sporty option of Fiery Red with an Abyss Black roof.

Engine and Transmission

Hyundai Tucson comes with two engine types. The 2.0-litre petrol puts up 153.86 bhp and 192 Nm of torque, coupled to a 6-speed automatic. And if power is what you want, then the 2.0-litre diesel is paired with an 8-speed automatic, putting out 183.45 bhp and 416 Nm of torque. It also comes in an AWD model, which prepares it for off-road drives.

Boot Space and Dimensions

The Tucson has ample space, which makes it convenient for the family and long road tours. The boot space for big luggage is 540 litres. The measurements of the SUV are under length of 4630 mm, width of 1865 mm, height of 1665 mm, and wheelbase of 2755 mm. It provides a spacious cabin with comfort and also helps in having a spacious strong road presence.

Competition Check

Hyundai Tucson competes with a range of other contenders in the premium SUV segment. Jeep Compass brings that off-road capability but lacks a thing or two about the tech features in MODEL. Here, one can have the fine build quality and engineering of the Volkswagen Tiguan for a price, of course. Meanwhile, while a Citroen C5 Aircross boasts such an attractive design together with its smooth ride, this vehicle lags in terms of up-to-date technology, making it better in value overall by the MODEL.
