Hyundai Motor Company has finally revealed the all-new Hyundai Tucson. The fourth-generation compact SUV is a global model, which will be available in two different versions – long-wheelbase and a short-wheelbase variant, for meeting various customer needs.

With this, Hyundai expects the new model to attract even more customers, with its cutting-edge design, roominess, digital capabilities, and dynamic ride and handling characteristics.

Considering the global pandemic, Hyundai revealed the new Tucson online. On the design front, Tucson is designed to appeal to those who embrace the integration of technologies with their lifestyle. Tucson’s integration of technology and design is most evident in its innovative half-mirror type daytime running lamps (DRLs) that are assimilated seamlessly within the parametric grille, only revealed when illuminated.

The kinetic design theme carries over to the rear where the full-width taillamp incorporates half-hidden triangular shapes that are only visible when lit, echoing the DRL on the front. In order to achieve the purity of this design theme, the Hyundai logo moved up and is integrated into the glass while the wiper also moves up and hides under the rear spoiler.

Hyundai Tucson’s interior, offers three new technologies, including a vertically stacked, dual 10.25-inch full-touch screen exempt of hard buttons, a multi-air ventilation system and an open, hood-less digital gauge cluster. These features create a high-tech ambience, with cushioned materials on high-touch areas, various material applications based on the frequency of interface and a premium presence. Tucson’s second-row seats will feature fold-and-dive functionality for optimized reconfiguration capability between passengers and cargo.
