COMPETING in what has turn into the greatest automotive market phase in the planet – medium SUVs – is no lengthier about making use of the ‘lift and separate’ philosophy to a medium sedan.
To actually thrive, you require an aspirational automobile that fits just about every function and matches just about every selling price place, when also becoming long run-proofed towards transforming purchaser anticipations.
Toyota’s present RAV4 has demonstrated that if you create the zeitgeist – a hyper-efficient, massively able, cutting-edge medium SUV – then potential buyers will clamour for it like hardly ever just before.
In that context, Hyundai’s all-new medium SUV – the fourth-generation NX4 Tucson – requires to convey potential buyers to the yard. If the new Tucson has any hope of reining in its chief Japanese rivals (RAV4 and Mazda’s CX-five), then it have to have effect.
At the time just about every variant and drivetrain solution gets to be available, the new Tucson will be difficult to disregard. But does the volume-selling 2.-litre entrance-wheel drive – anticipated to make up sixty per cent of complete volume – produce ample of a technological know-how story to satisfy Hyundai’s upmarket aspirations, significantly in gentle of the fact there will be no hybrid edition available in Australia for the foreseeable long run?
