Santa Fe, Hyundai's SUV to come soon

Hyundai is the most popular name in Indian car market next to Maruti. Hyundai Santro experienced unprecedented success with its zip-model and state of art driving technology. Hyundai Motors India Limited is now country’s second largest car manufacturer and has an impressive portfolio to boast about.

But Hyundai is not complacent and have several plans for the next few years  to expand its wings in India. Hyundai is bringing its small car by 2011 which will compete with Maruti 800 and other small cars from Fiat, Nissan, Mahindra Renault and even Maruti’s strongest portfolio of small cars. Hyundai seriously lacks its presence in the SUV segment and its model Hyundai Tucson was impactless. Hyundai now intends to replace Hyundai Tucson with its most stylish model Hyundai Santa Fe.

It is one of the most successful SUVs of Hyundai worldwide and the company will phase out Hyundai Tucson with the launch of Hyundai Santa Fe in early 2010. Reason? Only three units of Hyundai Tucson have been sold in the past four months. We might change our SUV model from Hyundai Tucson to Hyundai Santa Fe in the Indian market next year. We will try to locally assemble the Hyundai Santa Fe at our Chennai plant, HMIL MD HS Lheem said. It’s already raining SUVs in India and it is one of the fastest growing segments in the country. Henceforth, Chevrolet Beat, Volkswagen Polo and Premier Rio are coming soon in Indian market.
