Hyundai has been very aggressive over the past few months and the aggression is supposed to maintain its pace in the coming time as well. It all started with the Hyundai i10 facelift, followed by the Hyundai Verna Fluidic, then Hyundai Santa Fe and the very recent Hyundai Eon.
In the meantime other car models like Hyundai Avante, facelifted Hyundai i20 and Hyundai i45 were spotted around the country and generated enough curiosity. Raising the level of curiosity to another level is the spotting of Hyundai ix35 crossover.
Also known as Hyundai Tucson, the SUV never tasted success in the country but the latest generation Tucson with fluidic design language is sure to get some attention.

In all hope Hyundai ix35 is expected to be the next model to be launched here in India. Against its predecessor, the new Tucson/ix35 is definitely better in terms of looks and is a major improvement. Not only looks but in terms of features also, the car manages to impress us.

Under the hood, the car will be offered in both petrol and diesel engines. The global variant comes in 4 engine options but the most feasible ones will be the 2 Litre MPFI petrol engine producing 166 BHP and a 2.0 Litre CRDi diesel engine producing 175 BHP of power and 392 Nm of torque.
As far as the pricing is concerned the car will be slotted between Rs. 10 and Rs. 15 Lakhs. With such a pricing it will directly be considered as a competition for upcoming and existing cars like Renault Duster, Tata Aria, Mahindra XUV500 etc..
