Conclusion
While the Hyundai Tucson has achieved a 3-star rating in Latin NCAP, it is yet to be tested on both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Each NCAP has different criteria and pain points concerning the specific buyer demographic they cater to. Hyundai is known for providing a host of features in its entire lineup. While the actual safety ratings turn out to be average, its ADAS safety features ensure that they compensate for it in the best manner possible and give a boost to the Hyundai Tucson safety ratings.
