Hyundai discontinues Tucson in India, facelift version expected soon
The Hyundai Tucson has been delisted from the carmaker’s official Indian website, sparking speculation that the SUV has been discontinued. Dealers have stopped accepting new bookings, indicating that the current version has reached the end of its production run.
Launched in August 2022, the fourth-generation Tucson was offered with both petrol and diesel engine options. The 2.0-litre petrol engine produced 154 BHP and 192 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the 2.0-litre diesel motor delivered 183 BHP and 416 Nm, coupled with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The top-spec Signature Diesel variant was equipped with an all-wheel-drive system.
The SUV came well-loaded with features such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, panoramic sunroof, front ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control and a 360-degree camera. Safety was also a key focus, with Level 2 ADAS, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, six airbags, ABS with EBD and hill-hold assist among its highlights.
In India, the Tucson competed with the Jeep Meridian, Skoda Kodiaq and Toyota Fortuner. While Hyundai has yet to make an official announcement, it is expected that a facelifted version of the Tucson could be introduced soon, in line with the global model update already available in other markets.
