Competitive pricing

Currently, Tucson comes through the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) route. In CKD, the car is disassembled into individual parts, then exported into the country and reassembled. This makes Tucson a lot more expensive than its competitors. It is rumored that Hyundai would be locally assembling the new-generation Tucson to price it competitively. So we can expect competitive pricing on the new-generation Tucson. 

A Tucson priced well with the latest looks, performance, and features is worth waiting for and checking. ITs rivals like the Jeep Compass and Citroen C5 will have to be ready for its market shake up.
