The side and the rear profile of the new Hyundai Tucson largely resemble the Santa Fe, which is a good thing in our books. The SUV comes with sporty alloy wheels (17-inch for the manual trim and 18-inch for automatic), ORVMs with integrated turn signal lights, roof rails and smooth character lines running along the sides. It also comes with very prominent underbody plastic cladding and silver side skirts. At the rear, you have sharp wraparound LED tail lamps, rear windshield wiper, large well-sculpted tailgate with the company logo at the centre, and a plastic cladded rear bumper with dual chrome-tipped exhaust pipes.
