Since its introduction to the European market in 2004, the Hyundai Tucson has consistently won the hearts of drivers, earning the title of a bestseller and fan favorite across the continent. With an impressive tally of 158,056 units registered in Europe in 2023 alone, the Tucson has seen a notable uptick in sales compared to the previous year. Up to March 2024, the fourth-generation Tucson has seen 746,836 units produced for Europe at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech (HMMC), with these vehicles finding homes in over 60 countries globally, including top markets like Germany, Spain, and the U.K.
Hyundai is set to build upon this legacy with a significant update to the Tucson, promising a host of enhancements designed to appeal to its loyal fanbase. This includes a modernized design, the integration of cutting-edge technology, an updated powertrain lineup tailored to customer demands, and an overall enhanced package.
New Design Elements with a Classic Touch
The updated Tucson features a modern and sleek aesthetic, characterized by redesigned front and rear bumpers, new skid plates, and an evolved ‘angel wing’ design with larger daytime running lights. The vehicle’s interior has also undergone comprehensive updates, improving comfort and convenience with a newly designed dashboard, steering wheel, and a dual 12.3 inch display setup for both the cluster and infotainment systems.
Advancements in Technology
Innovation lies at the heart of the new Tucson, with Hyundai integrating Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for maintenance and software, simplifying the update process and ensuring vehicles are always equipped with the latest software and navigation systems. The introduction of Hyundai Digital Key 2.0 with Ultra-Wide Band technology later this year highlights the brand’s focus on advanced connectivity and security.
Enhanced Features Package
The new Tucson continues to impress with its extensive features package, addressing customer demand for high-level equipment. This includes advanced safety systems like Crosswind Stability Control (CWC) and the addition of USB C-type connectivity, catering to the modern user’s need for efficient data transfer and charging.
Commitment to Eco-Friendly Mobility
Reflecting Hyundai’s dedication to environmental sustainability, the updated Tucson will be available in various configurations, including internal combustion engine, mild hybrid, pure hybrid, and plug-in hybrid models. Notably, the introduction of a two-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid variant demonstrates Hyundai’s commitment to expanding its range of eco-friendly mobility solutions.
The updated Hyundai Tucson stands as a testament to the brand’s commitment to exceeding customer expectations, offering a blend of style, technology, and sustainability that solidifies its position as the go-to choice for European drivers.
