The forthcoming seven-seater Hyundai Tucson recently spotted in China beneath the body of the ix35. It looks quite similar to the outgoing Tucson and, produced under the Beijing-Hyundai joint venture. On the inside, the new-gen Hyundai Tucson will get a complete makeover. The SUV is expected to come equipped with a new floating touchscreen infotainment system which will feature the Bluelink technology. The all-new Hyundai Tucson is best for the Creta owners who are willing to upgrade in a higher segment. A few days back, Hyundai has also launched Venue in India, which costs Rs 6,50,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
