2022 Hyundai Tucson European Version

Instead of just further developing the successful mid-range SUV, which is important for the brand, designers and engineers have decided on a completely new start: Visual appearance and the technology used make the TUCSON look like a representative of a higher vehicle class – but the prices remain the same cheap level that customers know. In this way, the TUCSON will consolidate its position as one of the bestsellers of the Hyundai brand and even expand it: while around seven million units of the first three TUCSON models have been sold worldwide since 2004, the series will during the life cycle of its fourth generation become the Break the 10 million mark.

Distinctive radiator grille with integrated daytime running lights and direction indicators

The most striking change compared to its predecessor is the design, which for the first time in a Hyundai SUV follows the new “Sensuous Sportiness” design philosophy. Geometric algorithms form the basis for a new design process that is carried out exclusively on the computer, which the Hyundai designers call “Parametric Dynamics” and which characterizes the entire design of the SUV. This look is particularly striking on the parametric radiator grille: the LED daytime running lights are hidden in it. If the daytime running lights are switched off, they integrate seamlessly into the diamond-cut look of the radiator grille and the front of the TUCSON appears as if it were cast in one piece. Only when the daytime running lights are switched on do the hidden, partially mirrored daytime running lights become visible. The fact that each of the five LED elements also functions as a flashing light.

At the rear, the wide taillights continue the design line. The new TUCSON’s rear bumper also incorporates a parametric pattern that echoes the design of the grille. Subtle design details at the rear include the rear window wiper hidden under the roof spoiler and the glass Hyundai logo on the rear window, which creates a three-dimensional impression.

Confident, dynamic and robust appearance

The same applies to the side view of the vehicle, where the designers have created five sharp character lines, some of which extend across several components and are therefore manufactured with great precision. The most striking thing here is the new Z-line on the rear side door, but the chrome-plated trim strip above the side windows and the accentuated, slightly angular wheel arches also make the new Hyundai TUCSON stand out from the crowd. The TUCSON is available with light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 17, 18 and 19 inches. With a length of 4,500 (+20) millimeters, a width of 1,865 (+15) millimeters and a roof height of 1,650 (+5) millimeters, the new TUCSON is comparatively compact, but still impresses with its convincing interior space.

Customers can choose from nine finishes, including three new shades: Shimmering Silver, Amazon Gray and Teal. In addition, the roof of the new TUCSON can be painted in Phantom Black or Dark Knight gray depending on the chosen exterior color.

The black roof is available with Amazon Grey, Teal, Polar White, Engine Red, Sunset Red and Dark Knight paint finishes, while the gray roof is selectable with Shimmering Silver, Phantom Black or Silky Bronze body finishes.

Generous digital interior with improved climate control

The new Hyundai TUCSON welcomes its driver and passengers with an interior that appears elegant, spacious, tidy, modern and high quality at the same time. The center console, which runs vertically and is set off in the interior, is inspired by a waterfall. The new 10.25-inch screen is integrated into it. The infotainment functions are located in the upper half of the display, while the lower half is reserved for the climate control. All functions are operated via touch sensors. If the traffic situation does not permit this, the most important settings can alternatively be made using voice commands.

In addition to many knobs and switches, the new TUCSON’s interior also lacks the visible housing on the dashboard, which usually houses the speedometer, tachometer and key indicator lights. These central displays are now presented by a 10.25-inch digital display in the dashboard, which runs seamlessly to the doors and creates a separate zone for the driver and front passenger. The two silver decorative lines, which additionally emphasize the spaciousness of the interior, extend to the rear doors.
