Hyundai Tucson Discontinued?

Hyundai has silently removed the Tucson from its official website, hinting towards discontinuation. The Tucson was priced between Rs 32.17 lakh and Rs 40.99 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Now, we expect its poor sales figures led the brand to delist this SUV in the country. For the past few months, the Hyundai Tucson sales were less than 100 units. The discontinuation being a speculation, we are still awaiting brand’s reply on this.

Is The Tucson Facelift In Works?

The new Tucson was revealed in the global markets last year, and the same was expected to arrive in India. However, yet now, the model has not arrived at our shores. That said, this delisting could also be done for introducing the refreshed Tucson in India. 

The refreshed version of this SUV features a new front grille and design along with new alloy wheels and refreshed rear design. On the inside it gets a redesigned dashboard and a panoramic curved display along with features that include – Bose sound system, Heated steering wheel, Ventilated and Heated front seats, Wireless charging, Finger-print authentication and more in its package.

The new model might also come with a Hybrid powertrain, as the brand has already announced plans to launch 8 new hybrids. At the moment, the Tucson comes with a 1.6-litre petrol hybrid tech globally, we could either see that or the existing 1.5-litre petrol engine could do this duty. That said, it would be interesting to see if Hyundai updates its Tucson in India.
