The new Tucson receives small design updates to the exterior to freshen up its design though the more notable changes are to the cabin.

Starting with the exterior, the Tucson facelift gets an updated fascia replete with a tweaked grille, LED daytime running lamps and a new bumper with a more prominent skid plate element.

While the basic shape of the grille remains unchanged, the openings are now larger and more rectangular.

It’s the cabin where the updated Tucson gets substantial changes. The carmaker has done away with the dual-cowl design for a more conventional look.

Hyundai hasn’t revealed any changes to the tech on board or to the specifications though expect all the features from the outgoing model to be carried over.

Hyundai does sell the pre-facelift Tucson in the Indian market with the SUV on sale in India for a little over a year. Expect the updated model to arrive in India sometime in the second half of 2024.
