Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor UK, commented: “The SUV market is of huge importance to Hyundai, with over 130,000 SUVs sold since we first launched Santa Fe in 2001. The outgoing model, ix35, is our second best-seller in the UK so far this year which just proves how critical this sector is for our brand – Tucson will look to develop this success, thanks to its striking design and the enhanced level of technology and equipment it offers our customers.”
