Hyundai Nishat to launch a new compact SUV Tuscon in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD – Hyundai Nishat aims at making a big splash in the compact SUVsegment by revealing the all-new Tuscon in Pakistan.

The car is set to be launched in the Pakistani Market by June 2020. Thecompact SUVs and crossovers have garnered significant popularity as of lateand Hyundai wants a piece of some of that glory.

With their 5 doors, 2-row seating layout, the Tuscon seems to be the answerto the likes of Honda Vezel/HR-V, Kia Sportage and the Toyota RAV-4. Byoffering a decent range of features and specifications, Hyundai’s latestoffering in the compact SUV segment seems to be a worthy contender.

At first glance, the Tuscon looks similar to every other crossover in themarket.

However, upon closer observation, you can tell that it is unmistakably aHyundai with its trademark large and imposing front grille, angularoval-ish headlights and taillights, smooth flowing lines and a roundsilhouette, making up a fairly decent looking car.

On the front end, we have the dual-barrel LED Headlamps with DaytimeRunning Lights that provide a contemporary look.

At the bottom of the bumper beneath the hexagonal chrome grill, you willspot a skid-plate that makes the car look tough and off-road-ready (whichmight not be its purpose). You also get fog lamps and LED Daytime RunningLights at the bottom as well.

On the side, you are greeted with

power-operated side mirrors with built-in turn signals. You will also spotthe silver roof rails and chrome door-handles giving a bit of character tothe otherwise very sophisticated side profile of the SUV. Also, the carfeatures side-garnish which gives the Tuscon a rugged look.

Moving around to the back and you’ll find the elongated oval-ish taillightsnative to the Hyundai design, a couple of rear fog lamps at the bottom anda shark-fin antenna at the back for style and better radio signal reception.*Interior*

The interior features a cream and black trim combo with the bits of silvertrim, overall making up for a nice place to spend some time in every day.

The design is simplistic yet contemporary and the cabin space is plentifulwhereby you can haul your family and/or groceries around with ease andcomfort.
