Hyundai’s next-gen Tucson gets radical new look
► New Hyundai Tucson design revealed
► Bold new look for family SUV
► Likely to launch in Europe in 2027
Woah! You’re looking at the next-generation Hyundai Tucson, freshly revealed in Korea before it arrives here in 2027.
The Tucson family SUV is one of the best-selling models for the brand globally, with huge numbers of them being sold in Europe and North America. This new generation, likely due for launch in Europe in early 2027, comes with an impactful design theme based around Hyundai’s new ‘art of steel’ ethos – the same that’s been seen on the likes of the latest Nexo hydrogen fuel cell car, as well as the new Ioniq 3.
It’s properly chunky, with clean details and angular wheelarches and turbine wheel designs. The front and rear light bars use indirect light, beaming a single strand onto the bodywork for a diffused effect on both the nose and tailgate. Hyundai says the new Tucson is 4700m long, 1905mm wide and 1685mm tall, making this version 60mm longer than before with a 30mm stretch to the wheelbase, as well as a 40mm wider stance.
Hyundai has confirmed that a chunkier and more off-road ready XRT trim will be available but, while specifications haven’t yet been confirmed, we suspect this will be reserved for the likes of the Korean and North American markets – much like the Santa Fe XRT and the Ioniq 5 XRT.
Inside, some elements of the design get cleaner and more structural with a huge, rounded centre console including the usual cupholders and phone storage cubbies. There’s an enormous central screen in the model pictured which runs the latest infotainment system and a new instrument panel that sits atop the dashboard – not unlike Peugeot’s i-Cockpit setup. Natural materials and warm colours are seen inside, too, with cool browns and creams instead of traditional greys and blacks.
Performance and powertrain specifications haven’t been announced yet, but we suspect they won’t be much different to what’s currently offered, meaning full hybrid and plug-in hybrid options are almost certain.
More details will be revealed closer to the Tucson’s official launch.
