Hyundai Tucson has been a popular name in the Indian market. The first-generation model of the mid-size SUV first hit our shores in 2005, and was on sale until 2010. While Hyundai never brought the second-gen Tucson to India, we did get the third-gen model, which was launched in 2016. The SUV has been on sale in India for almost six years now, and now, Hyundai is all set to bring in the fourth generation Tucson as well. The new SUV is built on a new platform and will come with a host of advanced features and technology, which means it will also come with a much higher price tag.

So, if you are looking for an affordable alternative to the pre-owned third-gen Tucson would be a good option. However, before you start exploring the web, here are some advantages and disadvantages that you should pay attention to.

Shortcoming:

  3. Even as a pre-owned vehicle, the Hyundai Tucson is not cheap at all. Depending on the model and variant you will get a used Tucson anywhere between Rs. 12 lakh to Rs. 24 lakhs.
