Hyundai Motor India is all set to bring several facelifts and new cars to the Indian market this year. One of the most imminent launches is of the 2022 Tucson facelift that Hyundai will be launching in the coming months. The mid-size SUV from the carmaker is their flagship model and has been on sale for several years now. However, this model is in dire need of an update and with its newer generation, it will target Jeep Compass. We share with you the features and its design from this exclusive video.
As can be seen, it gets all-new LED headlights and a redesigned front fascia. The parametric jewel styled grille integrated well with the LED daytime running lights looks quite premium. Hyundai calls the design philosophy of the new Tucson, Sensuous Sportiness. The front and rear bumpers have been reworked and receive faux skid plates that add to a sporty character.
One can also spot the new diamond-cut alloy wheels and the side profile now looks more prominent than before. At the rear, it receives T-shaped tail-lights that get connected with a single LED light bar running across the width of the SUV.
