You see, the latest generation of the global best-seller combines cutting-edge tech features, striking bold looks and powerful engines to emerge as a complete package whilst undercutting luxury SUVs on the pricing front. It’s actually quite interesting how the new Tucson has turned out to be a one-of-a-kind offering that excels in more ways than one.

Avantgarde Design and Class-leading Dimensions
The front fascia of the new Hyundai Tucson is governed by the new-age Sensuous Sportiness design language with the trademark Parametric Grille finished in dark chrome, the LED DRLs neatly concealed in the grille itself and the main LED headlamp cluster positioned on the extreme edges of the bumper. There is a rugged skid plate underneath the bumper to accentuate the rugged character. On the sides, there are characteristic creases, prominent wheel arches and elegant diamond-cut alloy wheels accentuating the side profile.
The sloping roofline bends down towards the rear with a silver accent above the black side pillars culminating into the roof-mounted spoiler. At the rear, the Tucson features an LED taillamp setup that is connected by a glass light panel that runs across the width of the SUV. A chunky skid plate with reflector lights further enhances the sporty stance. All in all, people are appreciating its road presence setting it apart from the competitors. At 2,755 mm, it has the longest wheelbase in the segment. In fact, it’s even larger than what luxury SUVs like the BMW X1, Audi Q2 and Volvo XC40 have on offer.

Plethora of Segment-First Features
Talking about the features the all-new Tucson really outshines even when compared to many vehicles belonging to a higher segment.
