Sold our GLC and bought a Tucson 2WD last year. Driven 20k km and it has been a fantastic experience so far. It's a compelling package for someone who wants "everything" i.e. power, family comfort, reasonable maintenance, etc. except for brand value.
@@SM-mt8pz Sir I was planning to buy a car for my mother and budget is 50 lacs.. which one you think will be best : tucson petrol or innova crysta hybrid or bmw x1 sdrive18i? or if you have any other suggestions? thanks in advance
@@epictetus__ If she is chauffeured, then Tucson and Innova hycross, especially with it's ottoman seats is a good choice. If you can extend your budget, I feel Camry is also a good choice. I haven't personally sat in them, but heard good reviews about rear seat comforts.
I own a Tucson hybrid here in Canada. Such a lovely vehicle to drive. Initially i was struggling to choose between Toyota RAV4 and Tucson as Rav4 is the king of the segment with superior efficiency. After the test driving these 2 i got sold for the ride quality of the hyundai. I wish there is a Diesel available here. Sadly no.
Amazing review as always @evo india I got my Tucson (diesel) in March '23 and I've driven it for 40,000 kms already. Covered ghat sections, expressways, city traffic and even a bit of farm use. Not even a single issue. Beast of a car, beautiful refinement, good dynamics. The mileage is a bit on the lower side and as you mentioned it does tend to sit a bit with full occupancy but no complains. Kabhi Roti ghat aaoge toh leke aaunga :)
The real bigshot suggestion Will be to bring i20 N 1.5 turbo in india. In 15lkh It has .launch control . Better transmission . Insane exhaust . Insane suspension . Insane tyres . Adas These are very unique performance and experience upliftment features absent in indian hithatches In 15lkh. It would be a hot hatch hit
I have 3 questions: 1.) How are the brakes in emergency situation? Is the ABS as sensitive as other Hyundai/KIA cars? On my Verna, sometimes brakes totally give up due to sensitive ABS and I have to depress and press brake multiple times to start feeling substantial brakes. It is the single most critical issue which is keeping me from buying Tucson. 2.) How comfortable is car at 140-150 KMPH? In my Verna 2019 SX Petrol, I can cruise at 150 comfortably all day long. There are almost negligible lateral movements. How does the Tucson handle this in terms of lateral movements? 3.) Did you guys see any DPF issues at higher altitudes?
1.The brakes lack feel but stop well. ABS doesn't intrude too aggressively. 2. 140-150kmph is over the legal speed limit in India, but at a 120, the Tucson feels very composed and confident. 3. A DPF error light did show up however the car didn't give any other trouble and the light went off once we descended into lower altitude.
I have a bmw x1 2018 make...i crammed seven people inside in one occation and it pulled like anything..as if nothing spl....it pulled and pulled for 120 kms journey
What is the mileage for both diesel and petrol versions. I last checked on Internet petrol was around 8 kmpl and diesel around 11 kmpl. Is this what we should expect in long run in India ?
@@rohansharma5938 marginal i hope it's similar in scope to the 2024 creta facelift Check out the Australian tucson which is the spec that comes to india
Just dont understand why most of the indian car channels call it "TOOSAW" when the actual pronunciation is "TOOSAWN" named after the 2nd largest city in Arizona called TUCSON....
Quite disappointed with the rear BOSE speakers. Only rear ones btw. And yes, I have checked the "quiet mode" setting which is turned off. Have also adjusted the equalizer to give as much loudness as possible. But let's just say that a 3 lakh Suzuki car has better loudness (vocals, treble, and base) in the back than the 40 lakh Tucson. Funnily enough, the front speakers are just AMAZING. The rear speakers are crap. As if they are entirely missing. There is no volume at all. If we increase the volume then the front passengers find it too loud and the rear pax find it okay.
@@evoIndia I most definitely have. In fact I called the official service center people home and they agreed this is a Hyundai issue and there is nothing they can do about it!! They said that the Santa-Fe didn't have it because it came with SONY speakers but I have no way to verify this.
I own the Tucson Signature Diesel AT (2WD) since 11 months now… Done 18000km. *** The only thing i’m not happy with the car is the HIGH BEAM headlight performance… its pathetic above 80kmph speed. *** Also, India has almost no OEM accessories option for Tucson… Hyundai Official MOBIS website has just added Tucson this month otherwise it was not even there in the option but still you can only get Cushions & Sunblind… 3D all weather Mats are not available for Tucson till today… PS: Tucson has a complimentary Service & Maintenance for 3years or 30,000km so I’m only paying for Wheel Alignment/Balancing currently which is great.. 👍🏻
When i can afford, i ll definitely pick like dis one over popular choices like fortuner etc. Like i bought my mojo xt 300 instead of REs. "MORE GO, NO SHOW"
@@LakshayPatney-t9l ...I was thinking of buying one......what about power? maintenance,spares_on highways does it give 10+..and what is the average on mountains?in your experience can the car be kept for 10 yrs?
The petrol version of this car should never have launched. It is simply grossly underpowered. So much underpowered that it doesn’t make sense to buy. This car is much bigger and heavier than creta and it even underpowered than a creta turbo and creta diesel. This vehicle should’ve just come with the existing diesel 4wd which is just sweet and the MOST AWESOME COMBO i have ever seen of a Hyundai car and a much powerful combo of petrol hybrid engine with atleast somewhat of 150 HP and 300 NM of torque with a strong hybrid battery.
I drive a 22 Tucson and my wife recently bought a 24 harrier auto and we did a hyd -Jaipur drive in harrier. Realised the incremental experience that Tucson offers over harrier for 10 lacs is negligible. Infact harrier feels more robust.
Comparing the world's best selling global SUV to Tata Harrier doesn't do justice to either of the vehicles, tucson provides a different level of sophistication whereas harrier is more of a brute pseudo suv
It's always risky with a Tata man. You never know when a surprise pops. To be fair even Tuscon is going to be high maintenance but I don't think it'll leave you stranded.
You must not be driving the AWD variant of Tucson. It's miles ahead of what is offered by anyone in the competition. Hyundai have done some magic with their HTRAC system and coupled with the supremely refined engine-gearbox combo, it's an absolute delight.
I feel ADAS feature is not very useful in city traffic....No wireless car play, No curtain for back seat , Light colour interior, low ground clearance are another negatives....rest is perfect
Have any more questions about the Tucson? Drop them in the comments below.
Which of the two variants Signature vs Platinum is better value for money?

Tucson sells most globally, defines perfection in every feature. Works as expected without any issues.
Like the Tucson, Loved the Elantra. Dont know why people have this craze for SUVs when Sedans are PURE JOY
Overpriced.
We already know that. High seat position, high GC & practical space.
Xuv 700 is better in all aspect
@@AjeeshO21997 Not all. The Tuscon is built better, has better interior quality and Hyundai service is a mostly a hit
@@venukrithish007 service cost of xuv 700 is very low compared to tuscon's and we can't doubt on build quality of xuv 700 .

Will be to bring
i20 N 1.5 turbo in india.
In 15lkh
It has .launch control
. Better transmission
. Insane exhaust
. Insane suspension
. Insane tyres
. Adas
These are very unique performance and experience upliftment features absent in indian hithatches
In 15lkh.
It would be a hot hatch hit
Can't be 15 lakhs it would be 20 lakhs above car
It has 1.6 turbo

Did you guys have any DPF issues especially at high altitudes? BS6 engines have been a nightmare on the hills.
20k km ran in 1 year and no DPF issues. Do note that the car is used frequently for long trips so, highway running is guaranteed.
Except for a DPF error light showing up, the car didn't give any other trouble. The light went off once we descended into lower altitude.

Also, there is no BOSE badging for the rear speakers in the Tucson. But the Creta has them. And this is a worldwide Tucson issue, not just in India.
Have you checked the fader and balance settings as well

Which one is more fuel efficient, Hyundai Tucson Diesel or Toyota Innova Hycrose hybrid?
Diesels are efficient on highways. Hybrids in city traffic.
