Hyundai continues their bid as one of the Asian car manufacturers that pose a threat to American car companies in the US market.

This challenge is evident in their compact sport utility vehicle that is the Tucson. The Tucson is slated against Toyota’s RAV4 and Honda’s CR-V in the now declining SUV market. While interest in the sports utility vehicle segment is waning due to the upward surge of gas prices, Hyundai is still confident that their SUV will gain a good number of buyers.
