They started selling it in sept 2021 in Korea and will be globally available in 2022 including India market. I believe that is yet to be tested on Latin NCAP

This is the previous Gen car that too with only 2 airbags and no ESP as standard, in comparison the previous Gen Tucson (the one currently on sale) in India gets 6 airbags and ESP as standard in all trims!

Pre-update Hyundai New Tucson:
Adult occupant protection: 50% (2 stars)
Child occupant protection: 5% (0 stars)
Vulnerable road users: 48% (5 stars)
Safety assist: 7% (0 stars)
Overall: 0 stars

Updated Hyundai New Tucson:
Adult occupant protection: 82% (5 stars)
Child occupant protection: 78% (4 stars)
Vulnerable road users: 48% (5 stars)

Indian New Tucson has always been specced like the updated one but the result should not be used for Indian-market Tucson units.
