Tata Motors became the first manufacturer in India to offer CNG with the top-end variants of the Tiago and Tigor in India. Later, Maruti Suzuki also started offering a more loaded ZXI variant with the Ertiga CNG. With the rising fuel prices in India, many buyers are looking for more appropriate fuel bills. That is why CNG is becoming so popular in the Indian market.

Hyundai will soon launch the all-new Tucson

Hyundai India recently revealed the all-new Tucson in the Indian market. The fourth-generation Tucson will offer segment-first features including ADAS.

The Hyundai Tucson will also introduce the South Korean automotive giant’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design language. It gets a plethora of sharp design angles and sharp lines all over. The most interesting part of the new design is the front grille.

The new parametric grille from the brand hides the DRLs when the car is turned off. The DRLs that are positioned on the grille itself glow as soon as the ignition turns on. It sure makes Tucson look very premium. The sides of the new Tucson get Z shape deep creases that add a sharp edge.
