The Hyundai Tucson facelift is available in two trims – GL(O) and GLS – and Hyundai has done a great job in equipping even the base variant will all the fancy features you could wish for. The top-end model only gets some additional extras along with 4WD.
Earlier last week, Hyundai launched the Tucson facelift in India for a a special introductory price of Rs 22.3 lakh, ex-showroom. Prices for the top-spec diesel AWD variant go all the way up to Rs 27.03 lakh. The company showcased the Tucson facelift at the Auto Expo this year and it would have been launched much earlier if not for the Covid-19 situation. This is essentially a mid-cycle facelift for the Hyundai Tucson with subtle design changes, an updated dashboard and some new features as well.
The new updates bring the look of the Tucson a lot closer to other newer Hyundais. There’s a larger version of Hyundai’s ‘cascading grille, new headlamps which are full LED and also get new LED DRLs and new bumpers with a revised fog lamp housing. The side profile remains unchanged except for a new design for the alloy wheels which look really cool. The tail gate has also been slightly revised and it gets new tail lamps as well. All these exterior changes together add up to make significant difference on the SUV.
The changes on the inside are however more significant and are surely a welcome. The dashboard design has been refreshed with a new free-standing 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This new unit comes with Hyundai’s Blue Link connected car technology. In the pre-facelift car, the touchscreen infotainment screen came integrated within the dashboard but this new look is much more premium. With the touchscreen being moved up, the AC vents and climate control stack has also been revised and now, it’s in line with the global-spec Tucson. The dashboard now gets an all-black theme.
The Tucson will be available in two trims in India – GL(O) and the GLS. Now, we have got our hands on the variant-wise features list of the Tucson facelift and there has been a generous addition of new equipment as well. Here’s a detailed look at the variant-wise features list along with the powertrain options available with each variant. Hyundai has equipped the base version of the Tucson will all the necessary goodies you want with the really exclusive features reserved for the top-end model along with 4WD. If 4WD is not your priority, the base GL(O) trim is the variant to buy.

Under the hood, the powertrain options for the Hyundai Tucson facelift remains the same as the pre-facelift model, albeit in BS6 form. The Tucson is thus powered by a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine that produces 155 bhp and 192 Nm of torque. There’s also a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine which produces 185 bhp and 400 Nm of torque. Both the engines come mated to a torque converter automatic gearbox. The one with the petrol is the old 6-speed unit while the diesel gets a new 8-speed unit. All-wheel drive has been reserved for the top-spec diesel trim only.
