Hyundai SUV Embracing the 'Art of Steel' Design Philosophy

The All-New Tucson embodies Hyundai’s design philosophy, 'Art of Steel,' modernizing the strength and tension of steel, and through its lighting design, it establishes a confident next-generation sports utility vehicle (SUV) image.

Hyundai applied vertically styled H-Edge Lighting daytime running lights and a horizontally shaped slim center lamp, both inspired by architectural lighting, to the front of the All-New Tucson, giving it a wide and stable appearance.

In particular, the horizontally slim center lamp uses an indirect lighting structure that conceals the light source itself, allowing the gentle glow to emphasize the bold structure and three-dimensional surfaces at the front, projecting a futuristic impression.

The side profile incorporates rich and three-dimensional volumes at the side fenders and rear doors, creating sharp contrasts of light and shadow depending on the direction of light. The well-defined character line horizontally traversing the restrained door surface and body highlights the sense of tension characteristic to steel, as well as the dynamic stance of the SUV.

At the rear, a prism rear lamp with a three-dimensionally protruding lens structure is adopted. When illuminated, the elaborate internal pattern of the lamp enhances visual depth and a feeling of dimensionality.

Additionally, the application of a horizontally slim center tail lamp and a vertically arranged rear combination lamp creates a unified lighting image across the front and rear. The bold rear bumper and sturdy skid plate further complete the stable, SUV-specific stance.

Longer Length, Wheelbase, and Width... Best-in-Class Interior Space

The All-New Tucson features dimensions of 4,700 mm in length, 1,905 mm in width, 1,685 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,785 mm.

Notably, its length and wheelbase have been extended by 60 mm and 30 mm respectively compared to the previous model, and its width is now 40 mm wider, resulting in a best-in-class interior space.

Furthermore, the rear headroom has expanded by 29 mm to 1,031 mm, ensuring enhanced spaciousness, and the rear door opening angle has increased from 73° to 83°, significantly improving boarding and alighting convenience.

The All-New Tucson features a floating structure where the upper and lower sections of the crash pad are separated around a horizontal line that connects the left and right air vents, enhancing the sense of openness. A large center display located at the center of the crash pad allows users to intuitively view and operate various information.

Slim displays and a double D-cut steering wheel are incorporated to minimize the driver's distractions, while features such as a palm rest hidden tray and luggage add-gear maximize space utilization.

Additionally, a card holder is incorporated beside the driver’s side air vent for convenient storage of frequently used cards, and a dual wireless charging system enables simultaneous charging of two smartphones, further enhancing everyday convenience.

Hyundai has applied a total of eight exterior color options to the All-New Tucson, including five new choices: Serenity White Pearl, Driftwood Grey Matte, Driftwood Grey Metallic, Red Rock Orange Matte, and Goyo Copper Pearl.

The interior is available in a total of four color options, with three new choices added to the existing black monotone: Mud Grey & Dove Grey two-tone, Black & Sand Beige two-tone, and Black & Inlay Soil Brown package.

■ XRT Trim Offers Dedicated Design That Maximizes Off-Road Sensibility

The All-New Tucson XRT trim, designed for customers who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, has also been introduced.

The All-New Tucson XRT trim features exclusive design elements that emphasize a rugged and robust off-road SUV image.

The XRT trim of the All-New Tucson features a wide, rectangular exclusive front grille and a large, bold skid plate at the front, creating an imposing and dominant presence.

On the sides, black wheel arch garnishes tightly wrap around the lower body, offering a protective, gear-like appearance. The garnishes are finished with a pattern inspired by forged carbon, emphasizing the visual weight and unique toughness of the XRT trim.

Furthermore, elements such as an exclusive rear bumper and skid plate, XRT emblem, black DLO, and exclusive wheels add to the signature strength and dynamic outdoor feel of the XRT trim.

The interior is distinguished by exclusive patterned seats for the XRT trim and dark metal décor, creating a differentiated atmosphere. First- and second-row floor protection mats and a touch-type tailgate LED lamp further enhance practicality for outdoor activities.

A Hyundai Motor Company representative stated, "The All-New Tucson is a model that embodies the presence of a strong SUV based on Hyundai's 'Art of Steel' design philosophy. With the expanded space and detail-oriented engineering that is tangible in everyday life, we aim to offer customers a completely new SUV experience."
