The year 2015 saw Hyundai
Motor India Limited (HMIL) take the SUV segment by storm with its Creta.
The Creta recorded over 90,000 bookings worldwide at the end of
December 2015 and became Indian Car Of The Year (ICOTY) 2016.
Buoyed by the response, the company has decided to
focus on strengthening its SUV line-up in 2016. Hyundai will showcase
its Tucson SUV at the upcoming Auto Expo 2016 and the launch can be
expected in the second half of the year. Apart from the Tucson, Hyundai
will showcase the Sonata hybrid, N Vision 2025, and introduce Genesis
luxury brand at the Auto Expo 2016 in February, reports ET Auto.
Tucson will be positioned
between Creta and Santa Fe in Hyundai's India SUV portfolio, carrying an
estimated price tag in the range of Rs 17 and 22 lakh. The SUV is built
on a new platform that offers larger cabin space and provides 513
litres of luggage capacity. The India-spec model is expected in diesel
engines that is available in three options: 113bhp (1.7-litre), 134bhp
(2.0-litre) and 183bhp (2.0-litre).
Considering that the importance of
eco-friendly cars is growing due to increasing pollution, Hyundai has
planned to introduce Sonata Hybrid at the show. The car will join the
other hybrid model in the segment such as Toyota Camry hybrid and soon
to be launched Honda Accord hybrid. The Vision N 2025 is a design study
that underlines the capabilities of Hyundai's global design team.
The first car from the Genesis luxury brand,
G90, will have its India premiere at the show. Though the brand is not
expected in India in its first phase of expansion, G90 is an attempt
from Hyundai to shed the image of value-for-money car maker. The
flagship sedan will boast of many new luxury and tech features. Hyundai
will also unveil 1.0 and 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engines that can be seen
in the future vehicles of the brand at the show.
