Recently, the mid-facelift Hyundai Tucson was released in Europe, and the European version is shorter than the Korean version and the American version in terms of wheelbase, and of course shorter than the Chinese version, but the design has not changed much, and we can also get a sneak peek.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a new design language in the front face, mainly the upper grille has become flatter and wider, more angular, and the interior also has a more special sparse mesh filling, and the four-point daytime running light strips on the left and right sides are more eye-catching. Of course, the European version adds a unique center mesh shape, which is more sporty. The high and low beam light clusters inlaid in the fog lamp area on the left and right sides have also been adjusted in terms of shape, with black or silver decorative strips to divide, and the trapezoidal lower grille has different details due to the difference between the N-Line and the ordinary version, showing a different design language.
On the side, there is a significant shortening of the wheelbase, which is shorter than the Korean version, the American version and the Chinese version, which is more compact, and the movement is in line with the habits of local consumers. The body length is only 4520 mm, the wheelbase is 2680 mm, which is really not enough in the domestic market, and the domestic version should be 2755 mm, which has a relatively normal level. In addition, elements such as the multi-segment dynamic waistline, streamlined roof transitions, special D-pillar chrome strips, and a variety of unique wheel styles are not missing.
At the rear, of course, there will be no changes to the through-type taillights, the tiger claw-style design has a strong sense of recognition and three-dimensionality, and the rear bumper part also has differences in details due to different models, and the N-Line version of the unilateral double exhaust appears quite aggressive and sporty. In the interior part, the new car is also basically the same, the double-linked suspended large-size LCD screen is completely different from the old model, and the co-pilot side has dug out an open storage compartment to match the glove box to improve the practicality. The steering wheel has a new shape, which is consistent with the domestic Sonata that has just been launched, and the front area of the armrest box is an open storage compartment, double cup holders, and a deeper storage compartment disconnected in the front, with elements such as the physical air conditioning buttons that are still retained, taking into account the sense of fashion, technology and practicality, and has a good performance in power.
In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 1.6T four-cylinder gasoline engine and diesel engine in Europe, which has quite strong regional characteristics, with a 48-volt mild hybrid system assistance, as well as a plug-in hybrid version and a petrol-electric hybrid version, which can be said to be quite complete. It is worth looking forward to what kind of performance can be held in the future.
