Hyundai is about to introduce a range of models with more serious off-road credentials – and the looks to match.
SUVs are typically more about style than genuine rough-road capability but this new range of vehicles is aimed at changing that.
New XRT variants were unveiled at this week’s New York motor show, including one based on the updated Tucson mid-sized SUV and another on the Santa Cruz ute.The brand is not yet willing to reveal which models will get the XRT treatment, but the mid-size Tucson, seven-seat Santa Fe and larger Palisade are likely candidates.An XRT version of the Tucson is already available in the US. Picture: Supplied.
Depending on the model they may also pick up all-terrain tyres that are designed to boost off-road grip and better resist punctures.
