Hyundai Tucson Gets a Bold, Boxy RedesignHyundaiWith this year's Monterey Car Week festivities officially behind us, you'd be forgiven for expecting a short break from new automotive reveals. That said, the folks over at Hyundai have just dropped the cover on the next-gen Tucson's design in the South Korean market, and the upcoming SUV's styling marks a clear departure from the version that's been a staple of NFL commercials these last five years or so.Hyundai is on a bit of a refresh rampage these days, in part due to the automaker's plans to bring 36 new or updated models to North America by 2030. As with the Santa Fe, the new Tucson model ditches the traditional compact crossover's soft styling cues for something more akin to the full-size SUVs we know and love Stateside. The entire design is rather upright, with lots of attention placed on visual width—something only further enhanced by boxy fender flares and the full-width lighting elements front and rear. The headlights seem particularly stylish, helping to blend the traditional shape with more modern influences, and the surfacing on the doors is also handsome.HyundaiInside, the new Tucson appears to borrow some inspiration from the automaker's full-size EV SUV, the Ioniq 9. Like many boxy sport-utes in the segment, the interior layout favors horizontal motifs. The textures and materials found on the hard surfaces and door cards look upscale, at least in these initial images. A large infotainment screen dominates much of the view forward, and there is a notable lack of hard buttons around it. (That said, the squared-off two-spoke steering wheel didn't win me over in the Ioniq 9, and it hasn't done so here, either.)HyundaiHyundai isn't quite ready to share details about the new Tucson beyond its styling cues, but given the Tucson is currently the brand's best-seller in the U.S. by a massive margin, I wouldn't expect much to change philosophically under the sheetmetal. Expect both front- and all-wheel drive variants, as well as gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrain options. An off-road focused XRT model is also likely, while an N-Line version targeting enthusiasts could be on the table, even though it seems unlikely we'd see a full-blown Tucson N.AdvertisementAdvertisementWe'll be sure update you with more details as soon as the automaker is willing to share them.
