The 2024 Hyundai Tucson has been officially revealed globally. The fourth-generation of the premium SUV has undergone a midlife update, which involved a tweaked exterior design, and a redesigned cabin. While Hyundai has not revealed its engine specifications, we can check out the design changes that this update has brought.

Exterior

The facia still sports the Parametric Jewel grille design with the lighting setup, but it has been slightly altered for a smoother aesthetic. This grille now has a sleeker and wider look, and the horizontal elements of the grille have been redesigned as well. Additionally, it now boasts a larger front bumper with a skid plate, sharper cuts and a slightly tweaked headlamp design.

The side profile is more or less the same as before. The sharp cuts, doors, cladding, window line, and the roof design have been left unchanged, but the design of the alloy wheels is completely new. At the rear, the skid plate has been integrated into the bumper and made slightly bigger.

Cabin

The facelifted Tucson gets the most significant changes inside the cabin, which has been elevated for a premium experience. The dashboard design, while carrying similar elements, has been completely overhauled. It now houses a dual-integrated screen setup, somewhat similar to that of the Hyundai IONIQ 5, and the steering wheel has been changed as well.

Another change with the new dashboard is the new touch-based climate control panel. Also, the drive-selector lever is now placed behind the steering wheel, similar to the one in the IONIQ 5. The doors, seats, and the center console look the same as before.

Regarding features, Hyundai has not revealed any specifications for the updated Europe-spec SUV, but some features like dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera, and ADAS tech like adaptive cruise control and auto emergency braking will be carried forward from its current version.

Engines

While the engine options for the 2024 Tucson are yet to be revealed, the Euro-spec SUV was already offered with the choice of turbo-petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrains. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Tucson in India is only available with 2-litre petrol and diesel engines, with the choice of all-wheel-drive (AWD) as well.

Launch Timeline

Hyundai will first launch the new Tucson in Europe early next year, followed by other markets. In India, this version of the Tucson can be expected to be launched sometime in the second half of 2024 or early 2025. It will carry a premium over the current version, which is priced from Rs 29.02 lakh to Rs 35.94 lakh (ex-showroom).
