After driving it for around 25k miles for around a year and a half i think this is a really good SUV from hyundai. It's great looking in the night and one of the most comfortable drives in this price range.
Amazing work Hyundai! As someone who drives a tiguan, it would be grrrrreat to see this segment of Value grow. Both tiguan and tucson have all the features and more than an Audi Q3 or BMW X1, and come cheaper than both.
Great features, but It's 2 years old globally, not new, albeit a strip down version from international model and also missing basic features for the price. Poor show Hyundai.. Differences: 1. Alloy wheels 2. Shift by wire 3. Auto opening Boot 4. Storage space on side of the leg 5. Wireless Android Auto 6. Hybrids missing 7. Heated ORVMs 8. Sun Blinds 9. 19" Wheels 10. Sunglass Holder 11. Cooled Glovebox 12. Driver Roof Handle 13. Boot organizer by spare wheel 14. Tight spot parking assistance 15. Designer exhaust 16. Flow design element along shift by wire console 17. Empty buttons on gear console 18. Paddle shifters 19. Coat hooks 20. Warning light on door
I have been driving this car for quiet a while now abroad, Let me tell you, this is the best Car in India under 50 Lksh...But that all touch User interface system is a constant headache.It will test your patience and it can be a serious safety hazard too.
That’s some crazy torque (diesel) for a car this size. Frankly, Hyundai will sure sell well, there are quite a few who were looking forward for this. Personally I like this car in it’s diesel guise.
From last year, there was quite a buzz on TeamBHP about the Hyundai Tucson, suddenly many people wanted a car like Tucson, and they bought many too. Now this one came out but quite a bit expensive 🥱.
That's a huge list, but I think if they add all these features for India spec version the price will be close to 50lacs. Maybe they will add a few features for the facelift versions in future
More expensive compared to Jeep compass which is king of the segment... Thanks Hyundai India for keeping up efforts to buy Jeep compass by pricing the Tucson much high than it deserves...
Why brands these days giving white interiors? Don't they know how difficult it is to maintain specially if one has Pets or Kids at home? Atleast give option like all black or dark beige & black dual tone combo for consumers to choose from?
Owning a Hyundai i20 for many years and even driving plenty of other Hyundai cars, I feel the biggest downside is a Hyundais cornering ability and stability at high speeds.
For the Indian market, they already are the premium (mass-market) brands: atleast Hyundai is. In a sense, Hyundai is to India what the Germans are to the North American market.
I don't understand the audience it caters to, Jeep is great for driving and off-roading and costs lowest. Tiguan is for driving joy and european build quality, Kodiaq and meredian for 7 seaters, what does this accomplish?
This car will compete with citroen c5 aircross suv. In usa vw tiguan is a direct rival of hyundai tucson. Jeep compass is not direct rival of tucson if you compare the dimensions of jeep compass and hyundai tucson.
Jeep has less service centers, VW service costs a bomb, hence this is a natural alternative especially for diesel variant. I don't know about petrol though.
Tiguan and Kodiaq don't offer diesel engines and their petrol engines aren't as fun as Tucson's diesel engine. Jeep makes unreliable cars. If these reasons aren't enough then there are people who don't want to buy VW because they make unreliable cars.
Suddenly the car market feel’s like a seller market with all manufacturers asking for a premium.. Not a healthy trend for the buyer as I feel nearly all launches are about 25 percent higher than their deserving price
The Design is very Radical and Very Bold with such Cuts Sheer brilliancy of the Die Maker for the outer Panels Korean and Japanses car maker can pull this Feat Simply Great
Priced itself out of competition, from both sides. Cheaper, Jeep Compass will get a boost in sales, as will the slightly more expensive Citröen C5 Aircross.
Tucson is not a rival of jeep compass. Dimensionally both are different. Tucson length is 4630 mm where as jeep compass is around 4403 mm. This makes tucson direct rival of vw tiguan and citroen c5 aircross.
@@manashmahanta4984 No arguments there but most people cross shopping these vehicles would find it hard to justify that kind of money for a Hyundai (no offense).
40L on road is really expensive.... The cabin has been improved but is it really premium ??... engine options.. do people prefer Tucson over XUV 700 given its 200bhp??
Love your review.... I was one among the people to comment on your first review and wow way too good of a way of reviewing now.... Appreciate your homework done.... Lovely review of Tuscon
Old Tucson was unique and there weren't many cars with that power and torque at that time, but it has more competition now and priced over the top for the top diesel variant. Interiors look more like the Alcazar. OTR Rs 40L for the top diesel on the road is very steep and that lackluster petrol engine/gearbox is of putting...
The 6 speed gearbox for the petrol is a fail in my opinion. I owned the previous generation petrol. Had they offered the 8 speed gearbox for the petrol, i surely would have considered this new generation as my next purchase
Booked tucson on 20th july...now cancelling it due to overpricing...not worth the price at all...buying jeep meridian which I booked earlier...bbye hyundai...👋👋👋
Meridian is nowhere as reliable as the Tucson, also interior space and features on the Tuscon are much better. Do try out both cars for before making a final decision.
Good desicion to change from the boxy cheap looking designs. 👌 not a fan of current creta, even though it's supposed to be a modern design. Due to cost cutting it look cheap. In my opinion, cheap in the sense less solid. Unlike it's vw competition and their EU standard seem like a better option at that rate for a lot of people.
Came to see this car in the showroom today, not at all impressed with this car. 1. Over expensive don't know why(would have projected 4 lakhs approx less for a good sale) 2. Small spare wheel 3. hand gear shift paddles are missing 4. back seats sunblinds are missing 5. Air purifier is missing which is a must 6. Round steering is not that good 7. Ac should have buttons, the current design of ac glossy area is not good can be improved 8. Digital meters are not that appealing as compared to rivals 9. Gears lever are taken from Creta and a car at this price shouldn't be coping the small segment. 10. Again it has bose speakers taken from Creta same number of speakers and the sound quality is the same. 11. the infotainment system is not appealing too. 12. At this price we expect 8 airbags at least but this car has 6 airbags only. Haven't driven it so till now this is what I felt also at the showroom we were not allowed to switch on the ignition so not sure how much noise this car makes.
Not sure what Hyundai's plan is this time in India? Hyundai Tucson's previous AWD version costed 32 lac on road. The new one shown above costs 40.5 lac approximately. A hike of 9.5 lac does not make sense. Plus no matter how cool the ADAS features might sound but its not a relevant feature for the Indian car market, where lane driving is still a dream. Pricing it higher than Jeep and it's sister company's Kia Carnival's Limousine variant not the best plan.
Great video and thank you! Just went and saw the vehicle at a showroom in the Cayman Islands. As I use an A1 & A4 Avant - my first impression - the Tucson is absolutely not classy and can’t never come near the interior quality of Audis “even from 2002 models”. Didn’t get a chance to test drive but the AWD would be the better choice for India (bummer that there’s no hybrid or Petrol AWD) Audio system quality - one need to check that thoroughly for a price above 20 lakhs. Waiting to see Telluride & Palisade launch in India. Best, Anoop Kumarakom/Cayman Islands
I dont understand the problem manufacturers have with providing petrol cars with AWD. People in places like NCR has preference for petrol because of the stupid NGT rule and are left with no AWD option.
hyundai needs to go for a dct in this segment. only way they will be able to compete with kodiaq. although Tc is good enough but is no match for the instant pull of a DCT
Hyundai has priced this car out of the segment. With a car like XUV700 in the market which offers more practicality with 7 seats, AWD and ADAS for at least 5-6 lakhs less Hyundai has really ruined its chances with the pricing. Indian consumers will wait for the car rather than pay more.
With XUV 7OO, it's 2.2L mHawk Diesel engine churning out 185HP and healthy 450Nms is more VFM. This Tuscon should've been priced between 24-29ish Lakhs.
After driving it for around 25k miles for around a year and a half i think this is a really good SUV from hyundai. It's great looking in the night and one of the most comfortable drives in this price range.

Hyundai knows to make a feature loaded car and they have nailed in the Tucson .
i wish they knew about good engine as well
Great features, but It's 2 years old globally, not new, albeit a strip down version from international model and also missing basic features for the price. Poor show Hyundai.. Differences:
1. Alloy wheels
2. Shift by wire
3. Auto opening Boot
4. Storage space on side of the leg
5. Wireless Android Auto
6. Hybrids missing
7. Heated ORVMs
8. Sun Blinds
9. 19" Wheels
10. Sunglass Holder
11. Cooled Glovebox
12. Driver Roof Handle
13. Boot organizer by spare wheel
14. Tight spot parking assistance
15. Designer exhaust
16. Flow design element along shift by wire console
17. Empty buttons on gear console
18. Paddle shifters
19. Coat hooks
20. Warning light on door
Same as global model = 5,8,10,11,12,13,15,19
depends on trim level or options you get= 1,9,14,17
You forgot the most important thing 😂 missed from global variant but it's alright. People don't want most of this stuff. It's pretty well specced

I like that it's non turbo. Long term keepers prefer this .
How much might be the kerb weight of this, Tuscon?
a comparison between compass & tucson would be great.
Model S vs Tucson would be a reasonable
Everyone wants Tucson in creta price lol. Imo it's priced accordingly.
Half of it is tax ftr lol
Not creta, but in top models of XUV/SAFARI price range. It doesn't offer much more than these cars for the price they are asking.
That's a huge list, but I think if they add all these features for India spec version the price will be close to 50lacs. Maybe they will add a few features for the facelift versions in future
More expensive compared to Jeep compass which is king of the segment... Thanks Hyundai India for keeping up efforts to buy Jeep compass by pricing the Tucson much high than it deserves...
If you consider service & maintenance over a period it will be way cheaper than Compass.
Jeep compass is more trusted.
agreed ✌️
It will overshadow Compass when the buyers drive both. That's only rugged but has a poor reliability reputation where this excels.
@@वैदिकधर्मसंस्कृतिएवंपरम्परा It isn't. Jeep is anything but reliable.

In few more years Hyundai and Kia will be the premium brands. Their cars look better than every car out there 👌
For the Indian market, they already are the premium (mass-market) brands: atleast Hyundai is. In a sense, Hyundai is to India what the Germans are to the North American market.
But the quality of their cars in India really SUCKS
Skoda is still better and premium
@@vedantpatel0701 but their interiors looks cheap and plasticky. Rattles the most as well now.
I have a hybrid version of it in Canada and its so good.
really makes you realize how vfm jeep compass is
9:39 I know the Hyundai I can afford.
Hyundai Tucson vs Citroen c5 vs VW Tiguan would be a great comparison!
I drive this car in the middle east. Its a nice buy. I wish the suspension should have been a bit smoother.
This is what I have been waiting for since a week. Expected gavin will come.
At this price point you have to consider cars above and below . At 36 OTR for the AWD it was a no brainer
I find it a bit strange that there are no paddle shifters for this car since lower segment hyundai cars like even the venue have.
I don't understand the audience it caters to, Jeep is great for driving and off-roading and costs lowest. Tiguan is for driving joy and european build quality, Kodiaq and meredian for 7 seaters, what does this accomplish?
And Hyundai is overpriced too.

It's more of an all-rounder... It may not be segment best but it will be decent in all the things you mentioned by rivals

Yes
Price ?

Interiors look more like the Alcazar. OTR Rs 40L for the top diesel on the road is very steep and that lackluster petrol engine/gearbox is of putting...
Reason why such cars end up being discontinued in India is because people want more features and premiumness in lesser price which is not possible
My only question is why are the indicators not LED?
Hyundai has again gone wrong in its pricing strategy...expensive for its size
since when arjun kapoor started reviewing cars 🤔
People looking to go for the petrol model should save like 10L and go for the Alcazar.
Diesel model is the one to choose here.
Compass Model S vs Tucson - any plan for this detailed differences.?
The 6 speed gearbox for the petrol is a fail in my opinion. I owned the previous generation petrol. Had they offered the 8 speed gearbox for the petrol, i surely would have considered this new generation as my next purchase
Booked tucson on 20th july...now cancelling it due to overpricing...not worth the price at all...buying jeep meridian which I booked earlier...bbye hyundai...👋👋👋
Meridian is nowhere as reliable as the Tucson, also interior space and features on the Tuscon are much better. Do try out both cars for before making a final decision.
No need to worry getting dents in the car, you call it a part of design.
Excellent Video , Could you please mention mileage you got with Petrol variant ?
Doesn't feel like an upgrade from lower priced crossovers/SUVs for the premium it commands.
