IT'S A BARRAGE of Hyundais at COTY this year, though none comes with the same level of commercial criticality as the Tucson mid-sized SUV.

Competing in the country’s most popular vehicle segment after utes, the Tucson is a big-volume player that jostles with the likes of the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Subaru Forester, and its stablemate in this very field, the Kia Sportage.
