Hyundai Pakistan today launched Hyundai Tucson base variant today with a price tag of Rs. 7,365,000.

However, the launch is delayed by one month due to unknown reasons.

All in all, it is literally a base variant and have quite similar specs and features to Sportage Alpha. Now, it is up to consumers whether they think this variant is worth Rs. 7,365,000 or not.

Sportage a most successful car in Pakistan! Are you serious?
Even Toyota Hilux Revo, and Fortuner are outselling it, even Corolla Altis Grande and Corolla Altis, once put together, are still selling more than Sportage’s all variants. Reason, Sportage is neither as comfortable as Corolla, nor is as durable off roader as Toyota Hilux Revo or Fortuner, sardonically, one cannot even cart loads of cargo along with people in Sportage. Perhaps that is why Sportage is only attracting people who like to stand out of the crowd by buying something that is looking different, for these people practicality does not count.
