New
spy shots of the next-gen 2020 Hyundai Tucson have surfaced online. The
all-new Tucson is being developed in South Korea and Europe and is expected to
be unveiled in the second half of 2020. Though the test mule caught on the
camera is mostly camouflaged, some of its design details are clearly evident.
The spy shots suggest that the next-gen Tucson will carry familiar proportions.
The front-end looks much more aggressive and strikingly different when compared
to the third-gen Tucson. This is particularly because it makes use of Composite
Light - a design comprising slim (LED) Daytime Running Lights positioned atop
the (LED) headlights. Also, there are dramatic similarities between the DRL
design of new Tucson and the Nexo FCV.
The overall design of the Hyundai
Tucson looks rugged thanks to the use of squarish wheel arches with the two
vertical design motifs. The thick black camouflage completely hides all the
details at the rear. We just hope that the all-new model doesn't feature
odd-looking, connected tail lamps as seen on the new Verna and the 2020 ix25
(2020 Creta).
The fourth-gen Hyundai Tucson is
expected to be based on an upgraded version of the current Tucson's platform.
Thanks to this upgrade, in addition to various enhancements, there will be a
seven-seat version also.
Internationally, the Hyundai Tucson is
available with a 1.6L turbocharged petrol, 2.0-litre naturally aspirated
petrol, 2.4-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.6-litre turbocharged diesel and
2.0-litre turbocharged diesel (featuring mild-hybrid tech) engines. Though the
line-up for the next-gen Tucson is still not known at the moment, it is
expected to include more electrified options.
