A truly lovely vehicle.


Hopelessly over-priced.


Everything about this vehicle appeals to a young SUV user. Ideal size. Great performance. Lovely engine. Great Tyres and all else.


But why should an Indian customer pay THREE TIMES what an International customer pays, to own this vehicle?


This SUV is pretty much the equivalent of the Mahindra Bolero, for any International customer - priced around Rs 6 -6.5 Lacs MAX anywhere else in the world!


Here it becomes a LUXURY SUV priced at Rs 18 Lacs on the road, give or take !!


I only ask one question. Is it some pre-conceived notion in India that only Rich Plutocratic people should drive SUVs? Half the time such lovely machines which are "seat-of-the-pants" driver's cars are driven by chauffeurs, taking some executive sitting in the back seat reading his Eco Times or fiddling with a Blackberry travelling to and fro his shyscraper office - Im pretty sure that the self same executive doesn't know even one quarter of what such vehicles are meants for, can do and is only buying such a vehicle as a status symbol!


Ridiculous.


Hyundai Motors should start manufacturing this vehicle in India itself to bring the prices down a bit. Then true enthusiasts will be able to buy it and enjoy it for what it is.

    Although i agree with you 100% that the Tucson is overpriced..... Comparing it to the Bolero is just not on.

    On Demand 4 wheel drive, Independent Coil spring suspension, powerful and refined CRDI, Alloys, the overall fit and finish (miles behind the Honda CRV though) take it way beyond the Bolero league.

    I would say that 10-12 lakh would be a fair price for the Tucson in India.
