In the ocean of SUVs, there seems to be a space left vacant. Hyundai has moved its chessmen quickly to fill it up with a rather lovable SUV.
If you have about ₹25 lakh to spare on an SUV, you have a couple of choices: settle for something on the lines of the Hyundai Creta or the Renault Duster or find some more cash and stretch your budget by another ₹5 lakh and go in for the Ford Endeavour or the new Toyota Fortuner. Yeah, you may argue that you can get yourself the Honda CR-V or the Chevy Trailblazer, but you’d need another few lakh to fuel the CR-V, because it’s powered only by a petrol engine. And the Trailblazer, if you ask us, is not very good to drive and has nothing exciting to offer buyers. That brings us to the latest offering by Hyundai and the solution to the problem for anyone who has ₹20-25 lakh for an SUV. It’s called the Tucson. It does ring a few bells in your head, doesn’t it? Yup, it isn’t the first time that Hyundai is bringing the Tucson to India. It did come here many years back, but somehow didn’t grab much attention.
The first thing you need to know about this new, exec SUV is the way the name’s pronounced. Unlike what the spelling reads, you pronounce it as: Tu-Säw in simple words. And the next thing that you need to know is that it’s the only SUV in India that has no direct rival. And the closest rival is powered only by a petrol engine and sells only in double-digit numbers every month.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE
Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
