This is essentially a mid-cycle facelift for the Tucson and one of the most important updates to the new Tucson is on its face. The new updates bring the look of the Tucson a lot closer to other newer Hyundais. The updates are subtle and you might even miss it in first glance. However, if you look closely, you will see a larger version of Hyundai’s ‘cascading grille, new headlamps which are full LED and also get new LED DRLs and new bumpers with a revised fog lamp housing.
The side profile remains unchanged except for a new design for the alloy wheels which look really cool. The tail gate has also been slightly revised and it gets new tail lamps as well. All these exterior changes together add up to make significant difference on the SUV and makes it look a lot more modern and upmarket. There are some major updates inside the cabin as well. The dashboard design has been refreshed with a new free-standing 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This new unit comes with Hyundai’s Blue Link connected car technology.
In the pre-facelift car, the touchscreen infotainment screen came integrated within the dashboard but this new look is much more premium. With the touchscreen being moved up, the AC vents and climate control stack has also been revised and now, it’s in line with the global-spec Tucson. The dashboard now gets an all-black theme and there have been some new features addition as well which include wireless smartphone charger, a panoramic sunroof and electric front-passenger seat adjustment apart from an existing long list of features.
