Hyundai Motor Co.’s new small SUV will be badged ‘Tucson’, company Vice Chairman and CEO Kim Dong-Jin has announced. Tucson will debut in the Korean market in the second quarter of 2004 followed by the start of worldwide sales in the third quarter. “Clearly what makes a vehicle successful is great quality, performance and features at a great price,” said Vice Chairman Kim. “However, a great name helps capture all that in a single word and we believe Tucson embodies the sprit of fun and adventure inherent in our latest SUV,” he said. Tucson is smaller than the company’s Santa Fe, which has been setting sales records since it was introduced to the U.S. market in 2000. Tucson will be offered in both front-wheel-drive or all-wheel drive configurations and will come with a standard four-cylinder or optional V-6 engine |
“Tucson is the next new vehicle in our expanding line-up of products, which is steadily growing. Our goal is to have competitive offerings in all segments. We are committed to providing consumers with the quality and value they expect from Hyundai and Tucson will be a welcomed addition to our line of vehicles. Our overseas distributors and dealers who have had a preview of Tucson were thrilled by its styling, package and features and can’t wait to get this newest Hyundai into their showrooms,” said Kim. |
