The fourth generation Tucson is expected to come with same engine and transmission options as the outgoing model.

The diesel engine would be a 2.0 litre turbocharged unit that would generate 185 Ps and 400 Nm of peak torque. Both engine options are expected to come with an automatic transmission as standard.

Citroen C3

Next car that would be launched in India is the C3 hatchback from the French car manufacturer Citroen. We drove the Citroen C3 in Goa last month and a detailed review about the same is available on our website. The Citroen is marketing C3 as a hatchback with SUV looks. It will compete with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Swift and Baleno in the market. This is Citroen’s first product to be launched under the C-Cubed program. Citroen will be launching the C3 on 20 July 2022.

Citroen C3 is a product that has been developed and designed in India. It will be first launched in India and will also be exported to other markets from here.

Toyota recently unveiled their mid-size SUV Urban Cruise Hyryder in India. It is an SUV that is jointly developed by Maruti and Toyota. Maruti’s version of Hyryder or the Maruti YFG (codename) will also be unveiled soon. According to reports, Maruti is expected to unveil the YFG mid-size SUV on 20 July 2022. Maruti is likely to call this SUV by the name Vitara. In comparison to Hyryder, Vitara will get some cosmetic differences. The engine and transmission is expected to remain the same. There will be a strong hybrid and a mild hybrid version of the SUV on offer.
