Hyundai is all set to launch the much-awaited next-gen Tucson on the 13th of July and we can’t wait to get our hands on it. The 2022 Tucson will be the flagship I.C.E car in Hyundai India’s range. We say ‘flagship I.C.E’ because it will be followed by the Ioniq 5 electric car. Coming back to the Tucson, the SUV is set to be revealed on the 13th of July. Let’s take a look at the exciting bits of the upcoming SUV:

On the design front, Tucson is designed to appeal to those who embrace the integration of technologies with their lifestyle. Tucson’s integration of technology and design is most evident in its innovative half-mirror type daytime running lamps (DRLs) that are assimilated seamlessly within the parametric grille, only revealed when illuminated. The kinetic design theme carries over to the rear where the full-width taillamp incorporates half-hidden triangular shapes that are only visible when lit, echoing the DRL on the front.
In order to achieve the purity of this design theme, the Hyundai logo moved up and is integrated into the glass while the wiper also moves up and hides under the rear spoiler. The Indian spec Tucson will be the long-wheelbase version for more space at the back. Overall, the Hyundai Tucson will feature a design language which has never been seen before in car in its segment.
Just like the exteriors, the interiors of the new Tucson will feature a striking interior theme. The interior offers three new technologies, including a vertically stacked, dual 10.25-inch full-touch screen exempt from hard buttons, a multi-air ventilation system, and an open, hood-less digital gauge cluster. These features create a high-tech ambiance, with cushioned materials on high-touch areas, various material applications based on the frequency of interface, and a premium presence.
Tucson’s second-row seats will feature fold-and-dive functionality for optimized reconfiguration capability between passengers and cargo. Being a Hyundai, the Tucson will come loaded with features such as Bluelink connected car technology, 360 degree camera with blind view monitor, electrically adjustable ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, smartphone connectivity, electric parking brake with auto hold, wireless phone charging and ambient lighting to name a few.
Being a global SUV, the Hyundai Tucson comes loaded with a ton of safety and driver assisstance functions. These include Hyundai SmartSense safety feature suite, which comprises of Highway Driving Assist (HDA), Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with pedestrian detection, Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), Blind-Spot View Monitor, Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW), Surround View Monitor, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (RPCA), Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA), High Beam Assist (HBA), and Driver Attention Warning (DAW). The all-new Tucson is available with advanced technology features including Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) Advanced Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop and Go and Safe Exit Warning (SEW). Other safety features include ABS and EBD, TCS, ESC, Hill-start assist, TPMS, 6 airbags and ISOFIX child mounts.The Tucson has also scored 5 stars in multiple crash tests.
