New-Generation Hyundai Tucson Revealed With Larger Dimensions and Boxier Design

Hyundai has revealed the fifth-generation Tucson in South Korea, bringing a significant change in design and dimensions to the midsize SUV. The new Tucson moves away from the more intricate styling of the outgoing Tucson in favour of a more upright and squared-off appearance.

The fifth-generation Tucson measures 4,700 mm in length, 1,905 mm in width and 1,685 mm in height, with a 2,785 mm wheelbase.

Compared with the previous-generation model, it is 60 mm longer, 40 mm wider and has a 30 mm longer wheelbase. The increase in dimensions is expected to provide additional space inside the cabin while giving the SUV a larger road presence.

At the front, the new Tucson features a wide, upright fascia with a full-width LED light signature. The design incorporates squared wheel arches and more pronounced fenders, giving the SUV a more conventional and rugged profile. A horizontal lighting element is also integrated into the rear design, extending the visual width of the tailgate.

The cabin has also been substantially redesigned. The dashboard adopts a cleaner layout centred around a large curved display that combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. The interior further features a new two-spoke steering wheel, a floating centre console and column-mounted shift-by-wire controls.

Hyundai has yet to disclose the complete powertrain lineup for the new Tucson. The company is expected to place greater emphasis on electrified powertrains, with hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions likely to form a significant part of the lineup, alongside internal-combustion options for selected markets.

Following its South Korean debut, the fifth-generation Hyundai Tucson is expected to enter international markets from late 2026, with the global rollout continuing into 2027.
