The Hyundai Tucson 4X4 (AWD) is being offered with a 2.0-litre CRDi diesel paired to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. This power unit delivers 182bhp at 4,000rpm and 400Nm of torque between 1,750rpm – 2,750rpm. Similar to the Australia-spec Tucson 4X4, the India-spec model features the Active On–Demand 4WD with 50/50 front and rear lock mode drivetrain system. This system delivers torque to the rear wheels during normal driving conditions, but diverts it to the front axle while running on rough and patchy surfaces.

With an aim to tap the growing premium SUV segment, the South Korean carmaker introduced the Hyundai Tucson in India last year. It’s the third-generation model that made its way here. In the company’s product lineup, this premium SUV has been positioned between the Creta compact SUV and Santa Fe. However, the latter one was recently phased out in India.
