<h2>Hyundai Creta EV</h2>

Based on the&nbsp;SUV's revamped version, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/creta-ev/">Hyundai Creta EV</a>&nbsp;is anticipated to adopt the global-spec Kona EV's drivetrain, which comes with an electric motor and a 45kWh battery pack. The EV is expected to boast a&nbsp;driving range of 400–500 km.&nbsp;Despite being essentially identical to the ICE version, the Creta EV will distinguish itself with EV-specific design elements such as a closed-off grille with a front camera, altered front and rear bumpers, and a new set of aero-optimised alloy wheels. It will also feature a charging port&nbsp;on the front fender.

The cabin&nbsp;will have a twin-screen configuration for infotainment and instrumentation, as well as a new three-spoke steering wheel with a unique logo. The drive selector lever will likely be&nbsp;located&nbsp;on the right side of the steering wheel column.&nbsp;Additional expected features include a reworked centre console, a redesigned dashboard, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and wireless charging.

Upcoming Hyundai SUVs in India: Creta EV, Tucson Facelift, New-gen Alcazar and More

Hyundai India presently offers a total of five SUVs: Creta, Venue, Alcazar, Exter, and Tucson. Let's take an in-depth look at all the new and updated SUV models that the brand will soon launch in the Indian market. 

At the New York International Auto Show, Hyundai&nbsp;unveiled&nbsp;its thoroughly revamped 2025 Tucson.&nbsp;In addition to the standard ICE version, the SUV will now be available with plug-in hybrid and hybrid powertrains. Hyundai says&nbsp;that these options&nbsp;will be introduced gradually in the US market. Beginning in June, the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder version of the model&nbsp;will be available in showrooms, while the hybrid powertrains will be available for purchase&nbsp;by the end of the&nbsp;summer.&nbsp;Price details for the model will be made official in the run-up to the market launch. The company&nbsp;has also announced an upgraded Santa Cruz pickup truck for the 2025 model year. At the Auto show, Hyundai&nbsp;showcased&nbsp;the truck as well.&nbsp;

<h2>2025 Hyundai Tucson: Exterior and Interior Elements</h2>

Although it features&nbsp;exterior and interior design modifications, the 2025 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai&nbsp;Tucson</a> SUV retains&nbsp;the same overall silhouette&nbsp;as that of the current model and is easily recognisable.&nbsp;The model's design elements comprise a revised parametric grille with DRLs, updated&nbsp;front and back bumpers, anodised aluminium badges, fresh&nbsp;alloy wheel designs, 75mm longer rear wiper blades, and new roof rails.

<img alt="Hyundai Tucson 2025 US Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/Hyundai-Tucson-2025-US-interior.jpg" width="1280" />

As you move inside&nbsp;the cabin, you will notice that&nbsp;the South Korean automaker has significantly revamped&nbsp;the interior, which now includes a new steering wheel, dashboard, and a curved display with a&nbsp;12.3-inch infotainment unit&nbsp;and a 12.3-inch&nbsp;instrument cluster.&nbsp;New knobs and switchgear for often-used&nbsp;functions like the music&nbsp;and climate settings along with new USB ports are present&nbsp;in the centre stack. On trims&nbsp;that use shift-by-wire technology, the gear lever has been relocated from the centre console to the steering column. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard across the line-up, and&nbsp;for the first time, customers can opt for a 12-inch colour head-up display. What's more, the 2025 iteration of Tucson is compatible with over-the-air updates.

The ADAS suite of the car, too, has undergone improvements. To promote safe driving, the 2025 model&nbsp;gets a Forward Attention&nbsp;Warning (FAW) feature, which uses an infrared camera installed on the steering column to monitor&nbsp;the driver's eye gaze to track their degree of attentiveness.&nbsp;Available Smart Cruise Control 2 continuously assesses driver attention. If the driver seems to be unresponsive, the system safely brings the vehicle to a halt and activates the hazard lights and electronic parking brake. Additionally, rear outboard passenger seatbelts now include standard pretensioners and load limiters.

<h2>2025 Hyundai Tucson: Engine and Gearbox Options</h2>

Mechanically, the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that powers the Tucson is still coupled&nbsp;to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It&nbsp;can be had with front- or all-wheel drive. The unit produces 187bhp of maximum power. Furthermore, a 268bhp plug-in hybrid setup&nbsp;or a 231bhp hybrid setup&nbsp;is also available.

Owners can now employ different levels of regenerative braking. Interestingly, both models come with an all-wheel-drive system. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> has also incorporated three additional drive-mode options.&nbsp;Along with the individually configurable My Drive, there is also a Baby mode, which&nbsp;aids in delivering smoother acceleration.&nbsp;When the car is in its <a href="https://www.autox.com/electric-cars/">EV</a> mode, the Green Zone mode, which is intended for plug-in hybrid powertrains, helps to enhance its range.

<h2>2025 Hyundai Tucson: Launch Details</h2>

<img alt="Hyundai Tucson 2025 US Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/Hyundai-Tucson-2025-US-rear.jpg" width="1280" />

The carmaker&nbsp;has not yet&nbsp;disclosed the prices of the 2025&nbsp;Tucson range, but we expect it to cost more than the outgoing models. The starting price of the 2024 2.5-litre&nbsp;model is USD 28,875 (about Rs 24.08 lakh), USD 33,950 (around Rs 28.31 lakh) for the hybrid version, and&nbsp;USD 40,100 (about Rs 33.43 lakh) for the PHEV version.

In terms of sales, it continues to stand at the second spot, right after <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a>.&nbsp;The Korean car major&nbsp;undoubtedly&nbsp;has a stronghold&nbsp;in&nbsp;almost every car segment in the domestic market, offering a range of reliable and performance-oriented products&nbsp;from entry-level hatchbacks to high-end electric vehicles.&nbsp;Still, there are a few Hyundai vehicles that require significant updates, and that is essentially what is planned for the upcoming year. In 2024, Hyundai intends to bring&nbsp;the following models to our shores.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 6</h2>

Hyundai is also planning to launch the eagerly awaited Ioniq 6 in India.&nbsp;A 53kWh unit and a 77kWh unit are the two battery packs that are offered for the Ioniq 6 globally. While the top-spec AWD variant has two motors with a combined output of 325bhp and 605Nm of peak torque, the entry-level variants have an RWD layout with a single motor that produces 228bhp of maximum power and 350Nm of peak torque. The model's WLTP-certified range varies depending on the variant opted for, from 429-kilometre&nbsp;to 610-kilometre. Its feature list includes wireless phone charging, vehicle-2-load (V2L) functionality, two 12.3-inch displays, a heads-up display, and an eight-speaker Bose sound system. Together with a 360-degree camera and an extensive array of ADAS capabilities, it has seven airbags for safety. The Ioniq 6 will probably retail for an ex-showroom cost of Rs 65&nbsp;lakh.&nbsp;

<h2>Creta Facelift</h2>

<img alt="03 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/03-1-.jpg" width="1280" />

On January 16, the 2024 version of the Creta will arrive in India. There will probably be a few aesthetic changes made to the medium-sized SUV from the previous model. A new set of alloy wheels, updated front and back LED lighting, a redesigned grille, and new front and rear bumpers are a few of these. Along with these upgrades, the new Creta is anticipated to have an ADAS package, a 360-degree camera, new upholstery, and a revamped dashboard and center console. It is anticipated that the 1.5-litre NA petrol and diesel engines will still be offered for the model.&nbsp;There may be a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine available with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DCT transmission. Upon launch, the SUV is anticipated to carry a price tag of Rs 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom).&nbsp;

<h2>New Hyundai Kona Electric</h2>

Since it went on the market back in 2019, the Kona Electric that is currently on sale has not seen any significant changes. In the meantime, Hyundai debuted the next-generation Kona Electric in international markets in December 2022, and the most recent iteration of the electric SUV should arrive here in May next year. The 48.4kWh and 65.4kWh battery pack options for the new Kona EV provide 153bhp&nbsp;and 215bhp&nbsp;of power, respectively. On a full charge, Hyundai claims a range of 490-kilometre. Features include an 8-speaker Bose sound system, a 12-inch head-up display, dual 12.3-inch displays, 360-degree cameras, ADAS, and vehicle-2-load (V2L) compatibility.

<h2>Updated&nbsp;Hyundai Tucson</h2>

<img alt="2024 Hyundai Tucson" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/11/2024-Hyundai-Tucson.jpg" width="1280" />

The updated Hyundai Tucson will make its European debut in early 2024, following its recent global unveiling. But sometime in the middle or end of 2024, Hyundai's revamped flagship SUV will arrive in India. The external appearance of the new Tucson has been slightly modified, and the interior has been updated to provide a more luxurious experience. Dual-integrated touchscreen configuration and a touch-based climate control panel are among the new features. The SUV is expected to come with ADAS technology, ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and six airbags, however, Hyundai has not disclosed any other features. The car is expected to carry an ex-showroom starting&nbsp;price of Rs 30 lakh. The all-new Tucson will probably still be available in India with the same 2-litre diesel unit churning out 184bhp and&nbsp;416Nm&nbsp;and a 2-litre petrol engine delivering&nbsp;154bhp and 192Nm. The petrol mill comes with&nbsp;a 6-speed automatic&nbsp;transmission, whereas the diesel unit can be had with an 8-speed automated transmission.

<h2>New Hyundai Alcazar</h2>

The South Korean automaker might&nbsp;opt to&nbsp;debut the Alcazar facelift along with&nbsp;the revamped Creta. When the three-row SUV based on the Creta was introduced in 2021, it received a new engine choice along with a few minor design updates. The Alcazar, albeit new, also needs an update. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (158bhp&nbsp;and 253Nm) and 1.5-litre diesel (113bhp&nbsp;and 250Nm) engine options for Hyundai's sole three-row SUV in India will be the same as those offered with&nbsp;the existing Alcazar. Feature-wise, it may have a panoramic sunroof, level 2 ADAS capabilities, ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, and two 10.25-inch screens.

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV</h2>

Test mules of the existing Creta SUV with an electric drivetrain were spotted throughout 2023, despite the lack of information currently available about the Creta EV. The spy photos indicate Hyundai may be testing a brand-new, all-electric C-SUV or contemplating the prospect of introducing an electrified Creta. The EV3, which is essentially unrelated to the comparably sized Seltos, was unveiled by Hyundai's sibling firm, Kia. It is anticipated that the Kia EV3 will eventually go on sale in India alongside the well-liked Seltos. Similarly, Hyundai may introduce the&nbsp;electric Creta SUV and sell it in addition to the all-new Creta.&nbsp;The forthcoming Hyundai electric SUV will compete with the Tata Curvv EV&nbsp;and it may have a range of about 400-kilometre on a single charge.

<h2>Hyundai Creta Facelift</h2>

The 2024 iteration of the Creta will make its entry into India on January 16. The medium-sized SUV is likely to have a couple of visual modifications over the previous model. Some of these include a reworked grille, revised front and rear LED lighting, both new rear and front bumpers, and a fresh pair of alloy wheels. The new Creta is also expected to come with a redesigned dashboard and center console, new upholstery, a 360-degree camera, and an ADAS package.&nbsp;The 1.5-litre NA petrol and diesel engines are expected to remain available as options for the Creta. A brand-new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol motor with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DCT transmission could potentially join the lineup.&nbsp;

<h2>New Hyundai Tucson</h2>

<img alt="2024 Hyundai Tucson" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/11/2024-Hyundai-Tucson.jpg" width="1280" />

By the end of 2024, the revamped Hyundai Tucson is likely to go on sale in India. The facelift was unveiled for the global market in the previous month.&nbsp;Hyundai is yet to disclose mechanical details about the new Tucson, but market reports indicate that the vehicle will continue to be offered with 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engine options.&nbsp;New alloy wheels, a modified grille, a fresh gear lever, two 12.3-inch screens, and reworked front and rear bumpers will probably be a handful of the cosmetic and functional upgrades over the previous model.&nbsp;

<h2>Next-gen Hyundai Alcazar</h2>

<img alt="Hyundai Alcazar Front Three Quarter" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/07/Hyundai-Alcazar-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" width="1280" />

In the coming year, Hyundai is set to release the Alcazar facelift for the Indian market. The next-generation Alcazar might come with multiple redesigned parts, such as a new grille, front and back bumpers, alloy wheels, LED taillights, and more. The mechanical department will likely stay the same, which means that the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and diesel engine choices for the car will be accessible.

The revised car is expected to come equipped with two 10.25-inch screens, level 2 ADAS, heated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. The forthcoming Hyundai Alcazar will compete in the nation with the Mahindra XUV700, the MG Hector Plus, and the Tata Safari.

Upcoming Hyundai Cars in India: Creta Facelift, Next-gen Alcazar

A handful of Hyundai models are all set to make their presence felt in the Indian market next year. Read on to know about their potential characteristics in detail.

The fourth-generation Hyundai Tucson was originally introduced in September 2020 and has already been on sale for more than three years worldwide. Now, the South Korean automaker has announced a&nbsp;mid-life facelift for the SUV with the debut of the 2024 iteration of the Tucson. A significantly redesigned interior along with minor exterior tweaks are a part of the most recent update for the model.&nbsp;Although the firm&nbsp;has not yet disclosed the details of its engine, we may observe the design modifications brought about by this overhaul.&nbsp;Speaking of rivals, the 2024 Tucson will continue to&nbsp;compete with the likes of the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Citroen C5 Aircross, as well as&nbsp;the Jeep Compass. Let's now take a look at the important updates that the new Tucson will bring along.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Tucson Facelift: Design Highlights</h2>

<img alt="Hyundai Tucson Side" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/11/Hyundai-Tucson-side.jpg" width="1280" />

Starting with the styling highlights, the lighting configuration and Parametric Jewel grille design are still present on the fascia, although they have been subtly adjusted for a more streamlined appearance. This grille has been widened and made sleeker, and its horizontal components have undergone revision. It also features a larger front bumper with a skid plate, more angular cuts, and somewhat altered headlight styling. The side profile hasn't changed much from before.&nbsp;The roof design, doors, cladding, window line, and sharp cuts are all still present, but the alloy wheel design is entirely different. Lastly, the skid plate in the back is now part of the bumper and is a little bit larger.

<h2>Hyundai Tucson Facelift: Powertrain</h2>

The carmaker has not yet revealed&nbsp;the mechanical specifications of the newly unveiled model.&nbsp;However, it is anticipated that it will&nbsp;continue to offer the petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrain options that the Euro-spec Tucson&nbsp;already does.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the&nbsp;version&nbsp;currently on sale in India can be had with a 2.0-litre diesel engine that can provide up to 183bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 416Nm of peak torque, as well as a 2.0-litre NA petrol engine that belts out&nbsp;154bhp of peak power&nbsp;and 192Nm of torque. Coming to the transmission options,&nbsp;the diesel engine comes standard with an eight-speed torque converter auto, whereas, the petrol&nbsp;unit&nbsp;is offered&nbsp;with a six-speed automatic gearbox. Moreover,&nbsp;there is an option of AWD as well.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Tucson Facelift: Interior Updates</h2>

The most notable improvements to the new Tucson can be found inside&nbsp;the vehicle's cabin, which has been elevated to provide a luxury experience. Even if it still contains some identical components, the dashboard's appearance is entirely different. The SUV&nbsp;now boasts a dual-integrated screen arrangement that resembles the one in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in several ways. There is also a new three-spoke steering wheel and revamped aircon vents.&nbsp;The new touch-based climate control panel is another update to the dashboard. In addition, the drive-selector lever has been repositioned to be behind the steering wheel, just like in the Ioniq 5. The centre console, seats, and doors all have the same appearance.&nbsp;

<img alt="Tucson Interior 2024" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/11/Tucson-interior-2024.jpg" width="1280" />

Regarding features, the Tucson will still be equipped with a 360-degree surround camera, ventilated front seats, adaptive cruise control, six airbags, automatic dual-zone climate control, wireless smartphone connectivity, ambient lighting, air purification,&nbsp;a panoramic sunroof, and Level 2 ADAS tech comprising&nbsp;adaptive cruise control and auto emergency braking.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Tucson Facelift: India Launch Timeline</h2>

Before releasing the all-new Tucson in other international markets, Hyundai will first bring&nbsp;the model to the European market early next year. As far as the Indian market is concerned, expect the SUV to arrive on our shores by the second half of 2024 or early 2025. The facelifted model is likely to carry a higher price tag than the existing model, which ranges from Rs 29.02 lakh to Rs 35.94 lakh. Both prices, ex-showroom.

Hyundai Tucson Facelift Unveiled Globally, Gets Three-spoke Steering Wheel, Revamped Dashboard and More

A significantly redesigned interior along with minor exterior tweaks are a part of the most recent update for the Tucson facelift. As far as the launch is concerned, expect the 2024 iteration of the SUV to arrive on our shores by the second half of 2024 or early 2025.

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has updated the price range of its well-known Tucson SUV. The model, offered with both a gasoline and a diesel powerplant, would now cost up to Rs 48,000 more following the latest price hike. In 2022, the SUV received a&nbsp;facelift&nbsp;with prices varying between Rs 27.7 lakh and Rs 34.39 lakh (ex-showroom). The fourth-gen car was introduced in two variants- Signature and Platinum.&nbsp;Two engine options are available for the same:&nbsp;a 2-litre&nbsp;diesel engine and a 2-litre petrol&nbsp;unit. If you are considering bringing home&nbsp;a brand-new&nbsp;Tucson,&nbsp;then&nbsp;you need to&nbsp;be aware of the most recent price changes.&nbsp;Going further&nbsp;into the details of the hike, the 2.0-litre diesel variant&nbsp;has received a price increase of up to Rs 48,000, while the petrol one will now be up to&nbsp;Rs 42,000 more expensive. Here are all the key&nbsp;details regarding the Tucson, including the design, rivals, features, as well as updated prices.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Tucson: Design&nbsp;</h2>

Hyundai's 'Sensual Sportiness' design language, which is characterised by sharply cut surfaces, helps the Tucson have a drastically different look from its predecessor. A large dark chrome front grille with jewel-like embellishment that spans the width of the nose and incorporates the LED daytime running lamps is one of Tucson's standout features. The front bumper houses the primary headlights.&nbsp;It has a striking appearance from the side due to its prominent character lines, wide wheel arches, and body cladding. Outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) to the D-pillar is the starting point of a satin chrome strip that runs above the windows. The SUV rolls on&nbsp;18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.

Speaking of the rear profile, the Tucson has dual T-shaped LED taillights joined by an LED light bar.&nbsp;The rear bumper comes with a diamond-pattern finish and a faux silver skid plate. It also receives a roof spoiler, which conceals the rear washer and wiper.&nbsp;It is available in seven&nbsp;exterior colours, with the Signature variations being offered in a contrasting dual-tone shade.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Tucson: Interior Features and Safety Suite</h2>

Piano black accents surround a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system that is elegantly integrated into the dashboard. It also boasts a free-standing 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with turn-by-turn navigation and customised themes.&nbsp;Below the screen, stacked, are touch-sensitive HVAC controls. The automatic gear lever, a few physical buttons that operate the heated and ventilated front seats as well as other features, and the automatic gear lever are all located in the centre&nbsp;console.

The SUV is further packed with features like dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, a panoramic sunroof, an air purifier, 64-colour ambient lighting, 360-degree cameras, electric driver seat adjustment with memory function,&nbsp;an eight-speaker Bose sound system,&nbsp;reclining rear seats,&nbsp;Alexa and Google Assistant support,&nbsp;connected car features, powered tailgate, rain-sensing wipers, and voice commands.

For the uninitiated, the Tucson is the first Hyundai vehicle to be equipped with Level 2 ADAS technology, which offers security features including forward-collision warning, blind-spot assist, lane-keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Electronic Stability Control (ESC), hill-descent control, six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, and all-wheel disc brakes are further safety features.

<h2>Hyundai Tucson: Engine and Gearbox</h2>

Engine options for the new Tucson include 2.0-litre gasoline and diesel units which are now BS6 phase 2-compliant. The petrol one is a four-cylinder, naturally&nbsp;aspirated engine that also drives the Alcazar. It has a 6-speed automated transmission and generates 154bhp&nbsp;and 192Nm of torque. In contrast, the 2.0-litre diesel engine produces 184bhp&nbsp;and 416Nm&nbsp;of torque and is paired with an 8-speed automated transmission. Although there is no manual transmission available, the top diesel version does have an all-wheel drive system with three different terrain modes - Snow, Mud, and Sand.

<h2>Hyundai Tucson: Market Rivals</h2>

The Tucson competes in the domestic market against the Jeep Compass, the Citroen C5 Aircoss, and the Volkswagen Tiguan, among others.

Hyundai Tucson Price Increased by up to Rs 48,000 in India

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has updated the price range of its well-known Tucson SUV. The model, offered with both a gasoline and a diesel powerplant, would now cost up to Rs 48,000 more following the latest price hike.

<div class="long-term-title">Long-Term Report: July&nbsp;2023</div>

Last month, I didn’t get to drive the Tucson as much as I would like, mainly because the automotive world has been very active. Which basically means that we’ve been travelling constantly, and the Tucson has been safely parked at my house. However, this year, we did have a mild summer, and there has already been a lot of rainfall in Delhi NCR. Now rainfalls are almost always a good thing – unless you’re a cricket fanatic – but in our country the result of a rainfall usually is also severe waterlogging. The scene is no different in Delhi, and the extensive rainfall has meant that virtually two or three times a week I’ve faced waterlogged roads on my commute. But, with the high ground clearance of the Tucson has allowed to tackle those waterlogged roads with ease. Of course, I’ve avoided using the biggest traps, like underpasses, but overall, this ability to drive through the water has made my commute much smoother. Also, knowing that you have this safety net makes sure that you don’t get worried every time it starts raining and you have to go somewhere. In the month of July I have a couple of long drives coming up, and I have to say, with the Tucson and its long-distance cruising capability, I’m really looking forward to all of them. This is primarily because the torque of the diesel engine makes high-speed driving a breeze, while still delivering excellent fuel efficiency. At the same time, the various creature comforts - like the climate control, ventilated seats and the Bose sound system make the journey much more comfortable.

<div class="long-term-title">Long-Term Report: June&nbsp;2023</div>

<img alt="Hyundai Tucson Long Term Report June 2023" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/06/Hyundai-Tucson-Long-Term-Report-June-2023.jpg" width="1280" />

Of late, we’ve been hearing a lot about running costs, and part of the reason I’m bringing this up is recently my colleague was using the Grand Vitara, which, with its strong hybrid delivers phenomenally low running costs of around `4 per km. I’ve never really paid attention to the running costs of my cars, but this piqued my curiosity, and I checked what the running costs of the Tucson were like. If I look at the historic fuel efficiency of the car, it has been averaging between 11 and 12km/l, which in today’s diesel prices in Delhi – `90 per liter – translates to about `7.5 to 8 per km. At times, when driving leisurely, I’ve also seen the figures climb to 15km/l. Frankly, my belief is that as long as the large SUVs give me double-digit efficiency figures, I’m quite happy with it. Of course, I can’t compete with the low running costs of Hybrids or EVs, but fact is, I find these diesel machines deliver a much better driving experience for me.

So, yeah, I might not be running as cheaply as some of my colleagues, but I’ll take the enjoyment of the torquey machine with higher running costs over a compromised driving experience any day. Other than that, the Tucson has been a delight on many fronts, the torquey engine gives it great grunt whether in city traffic or on the highways, and maintaining high three-digit speeds is effortless. I do feel, however, that the eight-speed gearbox is a tad on the lazier side – you feel this while driving in the hills particularly – and the sport mode provides much better response. But selecting the sport mode does make the steering overtly heavy and therein lies a compromise.

<img alt="Hyundai Tucson Long Term Report May 2023" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/05/Hyundai-Tucson-Long-Term-Report-May-2023.jpg" width="1280" />

Recently, the Tucson saw a lot of highway action. First, I had to go to my hometown on a couple of errands, and later a colleague needed a bigger car to take his family on a short holiday. In both trips, we once again discovered how the Tucson makes for an excellent long-distance hauler. Its big and comfortable seats are a pleasure to spend time in, especially with the ventilated function, which is really great in our glaringly hot summers. At the same time, Hyundai’s cars feature excellent air-conditioning and noise isolation, which means you’re enclosed in your cosy cocoon, irrespective of the outside conditions. Plus, given its 416Nm of torque, high-speed cruising on our new highways is a breeze for the Tucson.

And if you’re a sedate driver, doing 600km on a single tank of fuel is quite easy, which makes your journey that much more comfortable, for you don’t have to stop for refuelling frequently. Now, most of our new highways have one significant flaw – bumpy expansion joints. They keep interrupting you every few hundred metres, and here, the suspension of the Tucson feels a tad too soft. Every time you cross a joint at high speeds, there is a bit too much bobbing. Other than that, there’s not much that I can find to complain about the Tucson.

While I reported last month that the Tucson’s seats need cleaning, my procrastination has been pretty strong this month too – and there’s also a lot of work pressure – so the Tucson’s seats still remain a bit dirty. I should really get that leather cleaner quickly and clean them up, maybe it will happen this long weekend itself. Other than that, the infamous ‘Low Urea’ light has turned up again, and while I’ve gone and bought the liquid, filling it is a two-man job, so that’s another task to be taken care of.

The Urea warning aside, the Tucson continues to perform impressively, ticking over without any fuss. I have a couple of road trips coming up very soon and am looking forward to covering some big distances in the SUV. Sometimes, improvements to some aspects of a car can come from unexpected sources, and while the sound quality of the Bose stereo system was quite good, I changed the Apple iPhone cable, with which I connected my phone, to a better-quality cable designed for in-car use – for those who want to know, it’s a AudioQuest Forest cable – and immediately noticed a slight improvement in sound quality and sound stage both. And, since it’s not too expensive – I have become an audiophile over the years, and yes, fine audio equipment can be startlingly expensive – I consider it quite a worthy upgrade.

<div class="long-term-title">Long-Term Report: March&nbsp;2023</div>

<img alt="Hyundai Tucson Long Term Report February 2022" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/02/Hyundai-Tucson-Long-Term-Report-February-2022.jpg" width="1280" />

Couple of months of driving the Tucson around, and I have to say there are many aspects of the SUV that make it a fantastic daily driver. First up, step into the cabin, and with its comfortable seats and the incredible amount of standard equipment it has, makes the cabin a great place to be. The seats are both heated and ventilated – in this year’s brutal Delhi winter, the heated seats were a boon . The Bose stereo continues to impress me with its sound quality, and the overall levels of comfort in the cabin really does spoil you.

Then, of course, there’s the low running cost. Sure, diesel might not be the buzzword today that it used to be a few years ago, but diesel-powered cars are simply frugal. With a light foot, I regularly see figures of up to 14-14.5km/l, but my regular leadfooted driving gets me around 11.5km/l, which is more than good enough for me. Highway commutes show that travelling over 600kms on a single tank of diesel is a breeze in the Tucson, and if you’re a sedate driver, you can easily cross the 700km mark. If there is one drawback, though, is that you need to fill up AdBlue every 7-8,000kms, as the warning for the AdBlue levels pop up rather early. If any of you own the Tucson or are planning to buy one with a diesel engine, one pro tip, get a funnel with a flexible downpipe to make filling the AdBlue easier – you can easily find one on Amazon.

And, what I’ve dreaded since the day I got the Tucson has already happened, the almost white coloured seats are now properly dirty, and one of these weekends, my job is going to be to make sure to clean them. Other than that, the Tucson is performing flawlessly.

Regular readers of the magazine will remember that I have a bit of a soft spot for the Hyundai Tucson. I’ve driven two of them as my long-term cars in the past. And recently, the new generation Tucson joined our long-term fleet a few weeks ago, and since then, it has been my new long-term test car. Part of the reason why I love the Tucson is its powerful diesel engine, which not only gives it adequate performance but is also quite frugal, which means low running costs for me.

Now, I must say that the new Tucson has really taken the game forward in terms of design, features, and opulence in the under-30 lakh segment. Its edgy look, with that unique front end, really attracts attention and has earned compliments on multiple occasions. The dual-tone interior really looks plush, and while the light-coloured seats get dirty quickly, it adds to the overall appeal of the cabin, which is a good place to spend time in. What also helps is that this version of the Tucson comes loaded with full bells and whistles. Its Bose audio system is one of the better audio systems that I’ve come across in recent times. Given the harsh winter in Delhi this year, the heated seats seem to be a valuable feature. And the ventilated seats, too, will be quite useful once the summer hits with full force. In terms of performance, Hyundai has mildly increased the power and torque figures of the Tucson’s diesel powerplant – 184bhp and 416Nm. However, it’s the improved fuel efficiency that’s even more noticeable – for now, it is easily offering about 15-20 per cent better fuel economy than its previous-generation counterparts, even though my driving style and road conditions remain the same.

While the audio system and the multimedia layout are generally kickass, I do wish that Hyundai had equipped the Tucson with wireless CarPlay, for it would add to the overall convenience. If there is one thing that needs improvement, it’s the steering, which lacks the excellence of the steering seen in other Hyundai products. But that’s ok. I’m sure Hyundai will fix the issue when the facelift version of the Tucson will arrive in a few years’ time. Despite this, I’m certainly enjoying my time with the new Tucson because of its improved opulence and better fuel efficiency.&nbsp;&nbsp;
