New Hyundai Tucson revealed with bolder, boxier look
Hyundai has revealed the fifth-generation Tucson with a sharper, more angular design that marks a clear departure from the outgoing model.
Hyundai has revealed the fifth-generation Tucson, giving the popular family SUV a significantly bolder and boxier look that draws heavily on the brand's Crater concept, with an October launch confirmed according to multiple reports.
The new Tucson is larger than the car it replaces and carries a noticeably more angular style, moving away from the softer lines of previous generations. Hyundai appears to be making a deliberate push to stand out in a crowded segment, and the design shift is considerable enough that rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V now appear more conservative by comparison.
For UK drivers already thinking about the family SUV market, the updated Tucson adds a genuinely different option to a class that has tended to look fairly similar across brands. Whether the bolder styling suits everyday tastes on British roads remains to be seen, but Hyundai is clearly betting that buyers want something that looks more distinctive.
