A Guide to the 2021 Hyundai Tucson

When the 2021 Hyundai Tucson hits the market, it will definitely be sporting some bold new looks. The popular compact SUV may deliver some new features as well. If you’ve been thinking about getting the Tucson, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming model. 

Striking New Appearance

The 2021 Hyundai Tucson is getting a daring new redesign that should shake up the compact SUV segment. The Tucson shares the same frame as the Hyundai Santa Fe, and the new SUV may also borrow features from the larger Hyundai Palisade.

In the front, the new Tucson will likely sport a distinctive front grille and a split-headlight design that puts the daytime running lights high on the fascia and the headlights closer to the bumper. The body will also showcase more angular lines for plenty of extra style.

Luxurious Touches Inside

Since the bold new looks on the outside of the Hyundai Tucson hint at a slightly larger SUV, you should expect a little extra room on the inside. The current Tucson can already seat up to five people and offers 61.9 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seats folded down, so you know the new model will provide plenty of space. Plus, since some of the latest sedans and SUVs from Hyundai that received a redesign have included thoughtfully designed interiors with luxurious features, it’s easy to see why many industry experts expect the same in the Tucson.

Exciting Powertrain Options

Although Hyundai hasn’t confirmed what type of powertrain options will be available in the 2020 Tucson, rumors have been swirling. Many insiders believe the new Tucson will offer the same engine choices as the Sonata. If it does, the SUV will come standard with a 2.5-liter engine and available with a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. It’s also possible a thrilling N-Line model with a 290-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter engine and a hybrid model could also be offered after the initial rollout.

Excellent Safety Features

If you’re looking for a new Hyundai that has some of the latest safety features, you won’t be disappointed with the 2020 Tucson. The current model already comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense, which is a collection of driver-assistive safety features that includes driver attention warning, forward-collision avoidance assist, a rearview camera, and lane-keeping assist. The current model is also available with blind-spot collision warning and rear cross-traffic collision warning. Industry experts believe all of these excellent safety features will still be offered in the latest model.

Great Connectivity Technology

The new Tucson will make it easy to stay connected and entertained. Industry experts believe the SUV’s infotainment system will be similar to the one found in the Elantra and Sonata. This means it will have a large touch-screen display integrated into the dashboard. Plus, the Tucson already comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and that won’t change with the new model.

Now that you know more about the outstanding features in the 2021 Hyundai Tucson, it’s easy to see why you should be excited about this redesigned SUV.
