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
