The Tuc with side claddings painted DOES NOT look good. There's one chap who tried that in Dubai and trust me it looks bad - it almost changes the perceived shape of the vehicle.

Then there are those who've put shiny studs on those screws that hold the plastic cladding to the body (are there screws, or have these chaps just stuck studs on?)....imho that looked pretty damn good on a black Tuc.

Mahe, other vehicles in this segment are CBUs too and you should visit other international Hyundai Web sites . Hyundai Tucson comes in many mixes and matches around the world and I really don’t see why Hyundai has given us a Tucson (with no higher trim variant available) without keyless entry (Now, this is sad!!), body colored/ painted side cladding (as an option at least), automatic A/C (even the top end Swift has this and the Corolla has this since 2003), no FE indicator (can forgive them on this one, but not easily as the vehicle costs 17.93L OTR Chennai) and no leather upholstery (again, they could charge us for this) when the car is more expensive than the manual CR-V (OTR Chennai). Anyway, Hyundais loss, just like with the Hyundai Sonata Embera which is stripped to the core in India. If they were so eager to sell it the way it is, the least they could do is offer two variants. As far as I go, the only strength the Hyundai has is that it runs on diesel… I mean how many (all around the world) consider Hyundai to be even comparable to Honda and Nissan in the above 15L price range and that too with kinda cheap plastic finish on the interiors and with all the flaws I’ve already mentioned. No wonder CR-V sales outbeat the sales of Hyundai Tucson (even though the Tucson is a crdi diesel).

hi

i would recommend the hyundai simply b'coz it has a better engine than the ford.

i have driven the ford for about 10-20 km i found it very slow & sluggish
