Having already taken a digital
stab on the 2021 Tucson with earlier testers, Kolesa has looked into the latest
spy shots that (mainly) reveal more details of the rear end and refined their
renders of the Hyundai SUV. You can see those latest spy shots here.
Aside from the more accurate rear with the connected
taillights and differentiated hatch, the renders also take into consideration
the profile window line and the more pronounced front fenders that were better
exposed in the more recent prototypes.
Expected to launch next year as a 2021MY, the fourth
generation Tucson is believed to get the new 2.5-liter Theta3 engine in North
America, in two versions: naturally aspirated and turbocharged, paired to an
eight-speed automatic gearbox. Europeans, on the other hand, should get the
updated 1.6 GDI and 1.6 T-GDI power units, as well as a possible diesel and the
hybrid powertrain found in the new Sonata. Front-wheel drive will be standard,
but the all-wheel drive system will be offered in higher grades.
