New Hyundai Tucson

Introduction

• Hyundai has unveiled the fifth-generation Tucson, arriving with an extensive overhaul six years after the debut of the previous model.
• The upcoming SUV will feature a completely revamped exterior, an updated cabin layout, and a noticeably larger footprint.
• The fourth-generation model was introduced in the Indian market in 2022 and was discontinued in 2025 due to a drop in sales numbers.
• Alongside the standard trims, a more rugged XRT variant will join the global line-up.

How is the exterior of the Hyundai Tucson?

• The new model is reportedly built around Hyundai’s new 'Art of Steel' styling philosophy with sharper surfaces, prominent cuts, and distinct creases.
• The fascia is highlighted by vertical H-shaped daytime running lights, a slim central horizontal light bar, and tucked-in main headlamp clusters.
• Further, the sculpted fenders, sharply defined door lines, and three-dimensional prism-effect tail-lamps accentuate the side and rear profile.
• In terms of dimensions, this SUV has grown in size, measuring 4,700 mm in length (+60 mm), 1,905 mm in width (+40 mm), and 1,685 mm in height, with a 2,785 mm wheelbase (+30 mm).
• As compared to the outgoing model, this vehicle is now longer by 60 mm, wider by 40 mm, and extra wheelbase of 30 mm.
• The SUV will be offered in eight global paint options, including five new colours: Serenity White Pearl, Driftwood Grey Matte, Driftwood Grey Metallic, Redrock Orange Matte, and Goyo Copper Pearl.
• The XRT variant will feature a broader rectangular front grille, prominent front and rear skid plates, redesigned rear bumper, bespoke alloy wheels, and distinctive XRT badging.
• It also adds protective black wheel-arch cladding finished in a forged-carbon-style pattern.

How is the interior of the new Hyundai Tucson?

• The cabin gets a clean, horizontal floating-style dashboard design which neatly splits the upper and the lower sections.
• A large central touchscreen dominates the middle of the dash, which is complemented by a slim digital driver's display.
• Further, it gets a new steering wheel displaying an ‘H’ in Morse code.
• Interestingly, the rear-seat headroom has been increased by 29 mm to 1,031 mm, while the rear doors now open wider to an 83-degree angle (up from 73 degrees) for effortless ingress and egress.
• Additional feature highlights include dual wireless smartphone charging pads, a concealed palm-rest tray, a simplified centre console, and an integrated card holder which is positioned beside the driver’s vent.
• The vehicle will be offered in four distinct colour options: Black Monotone, Mud Grey/Dove Grey, Black/Sand Beige, and Black with an Inlay Soil Brown package.

What powertrain option will be offered with the new Hyundai Tucson?

• The company is yet to reveal the full engine options, transmission choices, and market-specific powertrain details.
