In an exclusive scoop, we learned that Hyundai Motor India is all set to make the new-gen launch of 2022 Tucson It will be launched in the country on 13th July, followed by the month of August. Globally, the fourth-gen Tucson was first unveiled in September 2020, however, Hyundai continues to retail the previous-gen model in the Indian market.
the foreign-spec New Tucson It is based on the company’s Sensuous Sporty design language, and features a complete overhaul over the current-gen version as far as styling is concerned. Up front, the SUV gets Hyundai’s parametric jewel grille that extends across the nose, and integrates LED DRLs as well. The main headlamp units are placed face down on the bumper.
At the rear, the dual T-shaped tail lights are attached with an LED bar, the Hyundai emblem placed on the lower part of the rear windshield. The rear wiper will be tucked under the rear spoiler of the SUV. Squared-off wheel arches, faux skid plates, and body cladding make it sportier and more maneuverable than the outgoing version.
While Hyundai hasn’t confirmed the feature list of the India-spec new Tucson, we expect it to come with a 10.25-inch infotainment system, a similar-sized full-digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone charger, a panoramic sunroof, power adjustable will be equipped. Front row seats with ventilation function, a 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake, and so on.

The Tucson could retain its 2.0-litre NA petrol and 2.0-litre diesel powertrains. The first makes 152 PS of maximum power and 192 Nm of peak torque, while the latter is rated at 185 PS/400 Nm. We expect both the engines to be available with an automatic transmission as standard while there will also be an optional 4WD setup on the top-end trim.
With an estimated starting price of Rs 25 lakh, 2022 Hyundai Tucson It will compete directly with the Jeep Compass, Citroen C5 Aircross and Volkswagen Tiguan.
