Tucson 4th generation is finally here. The starting price of this car is 10.99 million PKR, and the top-spec trim goes up to 11.99 million. You can get a Haval H6 HEV and a Sportage L HEV for that price, as the H6 HEV is 11.749 million and the Sportage L HEV is 12.85 million.
The previous generation of Tucson played well in the market. Now that both Koreans, Sportage and Tucson, have new generations, time will tell if they will get the same popularity as the previous generation. H6, on the other hand, is a Chinese hybrid crossover, and when we say Chinese, “bad resale” pops up in the mind, but with H6, that’s not the case. It’s got one of the best resales and market acceptance in the crossover market, especially because it’s tagged as a “celebrity car”.
Here’s a short comparison of all three cars. It’s too short because Hyundai Nishat hasn’t provided us with the complete specs of the vehicle. Based on the available information, we’ve compared it with other options.

Let us know what you think about this comparison.
Since all the cars are hybrid, it would be interesting to show weight figures, it change the cars performance and behavior.
For example all SUV have higher ground cleareence than sedan, making center of gravity higher, thus they are less comfortable and prone to body roll, haval here is in a weak position, even the engine is a 1.5 against a 1.6

Weight figures are easily checked online. All three are selling in a lot of other markets. The weight figures for all three SUVs are almost the same at around 1750KG.
As for power, we can easily see from the table that, not only does Haval H6 has the highest HP, its torque figures leave the other two in the dust.
