New-Gen Hyundai Tucson Reach Dealerships
These images do give quite a generous glimpse of the exteriors of Tucson. The SUVs have been stacked up on a flatbed truck while being transported to the dealerships. The front fascia of the SUV features Hyundai’s latest design cue that has been seen on the international model as well. This unique pattern for the grille neatly integrates the LED headlamps on either side. LED DRLs are also somewhere in the grille pattern and the fog lamps are housed on the side of the bumper. The rear end looks quite stylish with angular LED taillamps connected together via an LED light strip. An integrated roof spoiler and roof rails are also visible. The rear bumper has a sporty skid plate attached to it to give a sporty stance. The exact design of the alloy wheels is not clear from these images.
