The 2022 Tucson is based on the N3 platform developed by Hyundai and Kia. The car is solidly built and the doors & tailgate have a good heft to them.

Hyundai Tucson Cons
Edgy looks & funky styling may not be to everyone's liking
At ~43 lakhs on road for the top-end variant, the Tucson is expensive!
Not as engaging to drive as the Kodiaq or Tiguan
Naturally-aspirated petrol isn't as punchy as the competitors' turbo-petrol units
Other crossovers & SUVs offer a 3rd-row of seats. Tucson is a 5-seater only
Some missing features such as paddle shifters, rear sunblinds...
Hyundai badge lacks the snob value that many 40-lakh rupee customers are looking for
