They say one needs to strike when the iron is hot. The Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment in the country is currently growing the fastest in the passenger car market and like all car makers Hyundai too is stepping up its act. They already have a Creta in the SUV space which has become a big hit among Indians.
They also have a Santa Fe, but that that’s bit out of reach for ordinary mortals, costing in and around Rs.30 lakh plus. Now the company has introduced the Tucson (pronounced Too Saw).
It comes in the premium SUV segment, but at a lower price band. It’s a smart move on the part of the company.
The all new Hyundai Tucson comes with two engine options:Nu 2.0 litre petrol and R 2.0 litre diesel. While the petrol is based on a dual VTVT engine technology, the diesel is based on an e-VGT engine technology. Both these models also have a further option of a manual as well as an automatic version. Of the two, the diesel model is more powerful as it churns out roughly 182.5hp @ 4000 rpm and a maximum torque of 400Nm in the rpm band of 1750 to 2750. The petrol mill produces only about 153 hp @ 6200rpm and a peak torque of 192Nm @ 4000 rpm.
