In Europe, spotters have captured the upcoming Hyundai Tucson undergoing rigorous testing while being heavily camouflaged. This follows the successful launch of the current-generation Tucson in India last year, which received positive feedback from customers seeking a full-size crossover. The Tucson name carries an aura of luxury and exceptional quality that is difficult to find at its price point. Positioned below the Volkswagen Tiguan in terms of pricing, Tucson offers a wide array of features that surpass its competitors.
The details are fuzzy and we don’t know much about the facelift. However we expect to see styling changes, a few added features, and better technology. The tech world moves fast and things get outdated pretty quickly. The rest of the car is expected to stay close to the current-gen outgoing model, especially the mechanicals, engine options, transmission, and specifications.
Heavy camouflage makes things hard to spot. But we can see a more adventurous grille. The rest of the front end is covered, but we can see a new bumper and evolutionary lighting units.
It is expected to launch sometime in 2025 for American Market.
