La latest and current generation of the Hyundai Tucson It has been a total and complete success. The previous one was already one of the most successful of the brand but with the new one the Koreans "have broken the mold." In itself, it is easy for it to have reached such a level of success since we are facing one of the C/D-SUVs with the best price-product ratio. The argument is unnecessary when you get on and see its good quality, high technological equipment and large number of engines.
However, his rivals "press" and in order not to lose pace he must catch up. The one that can make it the most is none other than his cousin, the Kia Sportage that is being liked so much and is selling so well. So to avoid being surpassed, the Hyundai managers going to launch its restyling soon. With it they will give a twist to its exterior and interior design as well as its wide and generous mechanical offer. And very soon you will be able to see and touch it…
The renewed Hyundai Tucson sports a cleaner front as an evolution of the Parametrics Dynamics design language...
When Hyundai presented the Tucson, many were scared when they saw its futuristic front. I still remember certain people saying that his “face” looked like that of a fly with a lot of zoom. But those opinions fell very soon when it was found that the evolution compared to its predecessor was abysmal. Well, with this restyling the Parametrics Dynamics design philosophy takes a new twist with a Sharper grille and hidden parametric LED daytime running lights.
This new grille seems to grow in size but that is not the case, what grows is the size of the decorative interior pattern. And by the way, the daytime running lights, which are no longer so small, are gaining in elegance. Besides The Full LED optics that are "hidden" in the bumper remain unchanged in size and functions. What does change is the bumper, which is updated with a new plastic protective plate that gives it a better off-road appearance.
The side view remains completely unchanged. The only new features that reach this level are the alloy wheels that are refreshed with more current designs and diamond type finish. From the rear, for now, there are no images that show the changes, although there are clues. The brand has indicated that the bumper is refreshed in the lower area with a new protective plate that appears wider. The other elements, for now, are unknown...
Its interior is even closer to its brothers in the IONIQ range…
Behind closed doors, the evolution of the renewed Hyundai Tucson is also notable. As soon as you enter, it stands out that those responsible have opted for technology. Thus, there is a 12,3-inch widescreen curved display for digital instrument cluster and another 12,3 inches for the touch center. Both monitors are attached to the center as we have already seen in the IONIQ range. In fact, that has been its objective, to bring the Tucson closer to its brothers.
El three spoke steering wheel It is another element that also evolves. It has a retro look because, at least in the South Korean version, eliminates the brand logo for a thin IONIQ-style oval plate. The second change to note is that the automatic transmission selector has moved to the steering column. The mission is to free up more space in the central tunnel that is now occupied by a wireless charging base and two cupholders.
This transmission selector is the same one that the IONIQ 5 already has, demonstrating its family connection. In the last place The ventilation outlets are also relocated to the dashboard. Now they go right under the touch display behind a trim that gives it an elegant appearance. As for the climate control, it still has touch buttons but in its defense it must be said that they seem more intuitive. Oh, and it seems that the piano black plastic has "almost" disappeared.
What is known about his technique? When will it reach the European market?
Well for now nothing. Hyundai reserves all the technical data of the renewed Tucson for itself. All in all, it is easy to understand that the evolution will be limited since its breadth and modernity was the envy of the segment. Of course, it is likely that new solutions will arrive to save fuel and offer greater performance. Especially in the electrified range, which is the most sensitive to these improvements. Little is known about its arrival, so we have to wait...
Patience…
