Hyundai has increased the prices of its flagship SUV, the Tucson, by up to Rs 48,000. The Tucson range now starts at Rs 29.02 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Tucson is available in three petrol and five diesel variants. While the prices of the petrol variants have been hiked by Rs 42,000, the diesel trims receive the highest price hike.

The fourth-generation Tucson was launched in August last year. The SUV features Hyundai’s Parametric design with half-mirror type daytime running lights integrated into the grille and LED headlamps placed on the front bumper. The rear of the car features a full-width LED light bar with triangular tail lamp clusters.

The Tucson gets a dual-tone interior with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment head-unit with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity and a digital instrument cluster. The SUV also gets Hyundai’s new 4-spoke steering wheel, ventilated and heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, cruise control, wireless charging and dual-zone automatic climate control. The SUV also comes with ADAS.

The Tucson is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine that makes 154 BHP and 192 Nm and a 2.0-litre diesel that makes 183 BHP and 416 Nm. While the former comes with a 6-speed automatic, the diesel engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available on the top-spec Diesel AT variant.
