Hyundai Motor unveiled the exterior and interior design of the fifth-generation all-new model, "All-New Tucson," on the 19th. This new vehicle is the first to be launched six years after the fourth-generation Tucson was released in September 2020. It features Hyundai's design philosophy, "Art of Steel," which embodies a rugged SUV image.

The front features vertical H-edge lighting daytime running lights inspired by architectural lighting and a horizontal slim center lamp. Notably, the slim center lamp adopts an indirect lighting method that does not expose the light source directly. The side profile adds volume to the side fender and rear door while applying a horizontal character line to create a dynamic stance. The rear incorporates a 3D-structured prism rear lamp to enhance three-dimensionality.

The vehicle dimensions are as follows: length 4,700mm, width 1,905mm, height 1,685mm, and wheelbase 2,785mm. Compared to the previous model, the length has increased by 60mm, the wheelbase by 30mm, and the width by 40mm, securing interior space at the highest level in its class. The second-row headroom has expanded by 29mm to 1,031mm, and the second-row door opening angle has improved from 73 degrees to 83 degrees, enhancing boarding and alighting convenience.

The interior adopts a floating structure crashpad that emphasizes horizontal lines to create an open feel. A large center display is positioned at the center, along with a double D-cut steering wheel. Convenience features include a dual wireless charging system, a card holder on the driver's side, a palm rest hidden tray, and luggage add-gear. Exterior colors are available in eight options: Serenity White Pearl, Driftwood Gray Matte/Metallic, Redrock Orange Matte, and Quiet Copper Pearl, among others. Interior trims come in four options: Black, Mudgray/Dove Gray Two-Tone, Black/Sand Beige Two-Tone, and Black/Inlay Soil Brown.

An outdoor-specialized model, the "XRT" trim, has also been newly introduced. The exterior features a dedicated front grille and bold skid plates, while black wheel arch garnishes with forged carbon patterns are applied to the sides to emphasize a robust image. Inside, XRT-exclusive patterned seats and dark metal decor are installed. Considering outdoor activities, the vehicle is equipped with first- and second-row floor protection mats and a tailgate LED lamp. A Hyundai Motor representative stated that the new model will offer a new SUV experience through its expanded space and meticulous design.
