</p><p>&nbsp; Hyundai is bringing the Tucson back to India in its third-gen avatar. The third-gen compact SUV sparkled at Auto Expo 2016 in Delhi. After the huge success of Creta, Hyundai is planning to set its pawn in the premium category. The new Tucson will be assembled locally with CKD (Completely Knocked Down) kits that will have 50 percent localization. This SUV fills a nice little gap between <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Hyundai/Creta">Creta</a></u> and <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Hyundai/Santa_Fe">Santa Fe</a></u>. The car is planned to launch in India in October this year, with an expected price tag of Rs. 17-22 lakh.</p><p><img alt="" src="http://carhunt.in/images/article_images/tuscon_sv.jpg"><br></p><p>&nbsp; The 2016 Tuscon is unmistakably a Hyundai, getting the signature Fluidic sculpture design language. The shape is full of curves and strong design elements. The front of the car is spruced with massive three-sled Hexagonal grille with stretched HID headlamps and LED DRLs as silhouette around the fog lamps. From the side, it wears sport 17" alloys surrounded by thick wheel arches. The LED tail lamps stretched to the tailgate looks dazzling although for the non enthusiasts, it wouldn't be easy to differentiate Tuscon from Creta from the back. Other design elements are skid plates, shark-fin antenna, twin exhaust pipe on the right side of the bumper and aluminium finished roof rails. Panoramic sunroof is available globally but it might not make it here as the company's flagship model in India, Santa Fe, doesn't have it.</p><p><img alt="" src="http://carhunt.in/images/article_images/tuscon_rq2.jpg"><br></p><p>&nbsp; On the inside, the cabin gets a very familiar two-tone design, the plastic material is good and uses more of soft touch plastics. The car upholstery will sport an all-black or the popular dual-tone beige and black theme. Some exciting gizmos are 8" infotainment system with reverse camera and navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, leather seats, 10 way power operated driver's seat with lumbar support, ventilation for the front seats, cruise control, electric tailgate, keyless entry with push-button start,&nbsp;glovebox cooling, auto-dimming interior mirror, vanity lights and few more.</p><p><img alt="" src="http://carhunt.in/images/article_images/tuscon_int3.jpg"><br></p>&nbsp; Under the hood, the SUV will come in both petrol and diesel versions. The petrol trim has a 2.0-litre MPi engine that churns out 150 BHP @ 6200 RPM and produces torque of 195 Nm @ 4000 RPM. On the other hand, the diesel mill comes with 2.0-litre CRDi engine available in two states of tune:<div>1) 134 BHP @ 2750-4000 RPM with torque of 373 Nm @ 1800-2500 RPM and&nbsp;</div><div>2) 181 BHP @ 4000 RPM with torque of 400 Nm @ 1750-2750 RPM</div><div>Both these power mills are paired to either 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, but an AWD should be an option in the higher models. For safety, it gets 6 airbags, 

Electronic stability control (ESC), Vehicle stability management (VSM) and Hill Start Assist (HSA). Other state-of-the-art safety features like&nbsp;Automatic Emergency braking, Lane Assist and Blind Spot Detection are likely to be omitted from the Indian model.</div><div><div><br><div><img alt="" src="http://carhunt.in/images/article_images/tuscon_ext.jpg"></div><div><img alt="" src="http://carhunt.in/images/article_images/tuscon_rq.jpg"></div><div><br><p></p><div>Source: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cardekho.com/india-car-news/confirmed-3rdgen-hyundai-tucson-india-launch-in-october-2016-19163.htm">CarDekho</a></div></div></div></div>
