Hyundai Tucson Facelift SUV Will Be Launched In India On July 14th

Hyundai is about to launch its new HyundaiTucson facelift in India on 14 July. The company was about to launch this much-awaited SUV much earlier, but it was delayed due to an epidemic. The Tucson facelift was first introduced in India at the Auto Expo 2020 held in February in India.

Features of  Hyundai Tucson

The new Hyundai Tucson facelift will have a new cabin look. The biggest change that will be seen in its interior will be its new dashboard design. It specifically features a new free-standing 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This infotainment system is equipped with Hyundai's BlueLink connected car technology. Apart from this, features like wireless smartphone charger, panoramic sunroof and electric front-passenger seat adjustment have also been given in the new Tucson.

Both the petrol and diesel engines of the old model of the car have been upgraded to the new BS6 emission standards. The petrol variant of this SUV has a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder petrol engine that will generate 150hp of power and 192Nm of torque. While the diesel variant has a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine that will generate 182hp of power and 400Nm of torque. A torque-converter automatic gearbox will be standard with both engines. The petrol variant will get a 6-speed gearbox like the old model, while the diesel variant will get an all-new 8-speed gearbox. The AWD (all-wheel drive) will be available only in the top-model (GLS) diesel trim.

Talking about the design, the overall style of the new Hyundai Tucson facelift will not see much change and it is not much different from the old model. However, the new facelift model will see a new version of Hyundai's cascading grille, new headlight and the tail-light unit, and new front and rear bumpers. All these new features help give it a new look.

Competition of  Hyundai Tucson

After its launch in The Indian market, the HyundaiTucson facelift will compete with SUV cars such as the Jeep Compass and Honda CR-V. Korean car manufacturer Tuson is going to introduce the facelift in two trims - GL Option (GL Option) and GLS (GLS). With the mechanical and cosmetic updates, the updated model is expected to be priced higher than the outgoing model.
