Hyundai Tucson facelift: When will it be introduced in India?
A quick recap of the third-gen Tucson’s journey in India: Hyundai showcased the third-generation Tucson at the 2016 Auto Expo. The mid-size SUV went on sale in India on November 14, 2016. Eleven months later, Hyundai introduced the all-wheel-drive variant of the SUV to fend off the best-selling mid-size SUV, the Jeep Compass.
Carmakers tend to launch facelifts two or three years after a model’s introduction. The third-generation Tucson was launched in Europe and USA in 2015, nearly a year before it came to India. So, we can expect Hyundai to introduce the updated Tucson in India in the first half of 2019. Hyundai currently assembles the Tucson at its Chennai facility by importing CKD (completely knocked down) kits. It is expected to do the same with the Tucson facelift as well and the prices are likely to remain unchanged. It currently retails between Rs 17.99 lakh and Rs 25.44 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
