No one o one knows exactly why, but India just loves SUVs. A lot of us blame it on bad roads, and a good chunk of people attribute it to the want for road presence, and then there are some big-family folks who would do better with all that apparent space you get inside. Whatever the reason, SUVs have gained a lifestyle status over the years, instead of the true purpose of their existence. Yes, they can be heavy, difficult to slot into a parking spot, and pretty tasking to ease out of cramped places, but despite all of that, the demand for them only seems to have increased. From namesakes to soft-roading sub-four-metre examples, to proper fully-fledged hunks of metal, there is one for everybody. I, for one, when not behind the wheel of a sedan (my most liked of the available body styles), would pick an SUV over anything else. And I don't think I am the only one who feels like that. If you think so, too, then you are going to love what Hyundai has to offer with the all-new and improved Tucson.
I say that because, not too long ago, I had a Tuscon as my long-termer. And while it was only for a brief period, I absolutely loved driving it. It is a proper full-blown SUV that had the same reliability as the much-loved Creta in Hyundai's stable, but also had everything on a grander scale. So, when I got to know that I was to review a four-wheeler instead of two, that, too, an SUV that I have enjoyed in the past, I was all the more eager to meet and drive the latest generation Tucson. But before I jump to that bit, allow me to take a while to get you acquainted with Hyundai's new flagship SUV for Indian buyers.
