Hyundai Ends Tucson SUV Sales in India

Hyundai is pulling the Tucson from India due to waning demand.

Overview

  • The SUV has been removed from Hyundai India’s website, and dealers have stopped taking new bookings, confirming the model’s exit.
  • Sales fell from about 3,700 units in 2023 to roughly 650 so far in 2025, making the business case unsustainable.
  • Outlets report no direct successor is planned as Hyundai prioritizes higher‑volume models and prepares for a Genesis brand launch targeted for 2027, while any facelift talk remains unconfirmed.
  • Positioned at roughly Rs 27–35 lakh, the Tucson overlapped entry‑luxury SUVs such as the BMW X1 and Audi Q3 and faced value pressure from Hyundai’s own Creta.
  • The fourth‑generation, CKD‑assembled model launched in 2022 offered petrol and diesel options with AWD on the diesel, Level 2 ADAS, and a five‑star Bharat NCAP rating.
