IT'S A BARRAGE of Hyundais at COTY this year, though none comes with the same level of commercial criticality as the Tucson mid-sized SUV.
Competing in the country’s most popular vehicle segment after utes, the Tucson is a big-volume player that jostles with the likes of the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Subaru Forester, and its stablemate in this very field, the Kia Sportage.
The fourth-generation Hyundai Tucson follows its predecessor with myriad variants, yet choosing one for COTY wasn’t that tricky.
