Default All New Hyundai Tucson

Toyota went rugged with the RAV4, Hyundai looks to take a different angle.





Debut will be Sept 14.

The headlights integrated into the grille, the taillights, and the interior layout I'm really liking.

Just think any front fender benders are going to be PRICEY with all those lighting elements up front with no more true "bumpers" these days.

Damn these interior designers are really uppping the game at Hyundai and Kia of what an everyday vehicle. I wonder what that means for that thin line separating luxury design and non luxury design.

That's a fair point about integrating bumpers and lights

Well, they have the money and development funds to hire enough people and buy enough equipment to maintain that pace. They have truly become the automotive success story of the 21st century...at least for ICE vehicles, just as Saturn and Lexus were in the 1990s, Toyota has been for hybrids, and Tesla for BEVs.

Tacky front and rear, but that dashboard is fantastic! Can't wait for the debut.

Are all the center console buttons haptic touch? Curious to see if it'll be the same in the base model.

Exterior styling looks like it's based on the same design language as the new Elantra which I'm lukewarm about, but this will sell.

It's the exact same shape as the new Elantra. Most of the design looks like the Elantra.

That exterior a damn mess, just like the Elantra that I assume it's based off of. It'll sell like crazy.

Probably unpopular opinion.... Dashboard is like a less dramatic and toned down modern day Toyota Previa interior.
