This week, fresh spy photos of a restyled Korean crossover were published on the Web, where you can already see some changes in the appearance of the model .
The Tucson compact SUV, named after the American city of Tucson in Arizona, traces its history back to 2004, when the first generation of the car was introduced. It was built on a common platform with Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sportage. Today, the fourth generation of the crossover is being produced, which premiered in September 2020. It will soon be three years old, and the Korean company is already preparing an updated version, as evidenced by photos of camouflaged prototypes.
Updated Tucson render
Unlike some other updated models of the company (for example, the new Sonata), revolutionary changes in appearance are not expected here: the main ones are likely to occur at the front. There will be a new grille with larger segments of LED position lights built into it. You can also expect updates to the main blocks of headlights and the front bumper. The hood, fenders and sidewalls may remain the same. As for the rear, it is still almost completely hidden by camouflage overlays, but we can assume that restyling here will only affect the design of the rear bumper. In addition, the crossover is shown with new design wheels.

Reliable information about the changes in technology yet No. The fourth generation Tucson is based on the N3 platform, which is also used by the latest generation Kia Sportage and larger Santa Fe and Sorento crossovers. The model in different markets is presented with two wheelbase options – 2680 and 2755 mm. The engine range also differs depending on the country; in Korea, the SUV is offered with a 180-horsepower 1.6 T-GDI petrol and a 2.0-liter CRDi turbodiesel with 186 hp. In Europe, you can choose a 150-horsepower version of the 1.6 petrol turbo engine, a 115-horsepower 1.6 CRDi diesel and several hybrid modifications.
