New Hyundai Tucson Spied For The First Time With Bold Redesign

Hyundai’s next-generation Tucson is due to debut in 2026 and arrive in markets as a 2027 model, with the first spy photos pointing to a full redesign. Expected changes include a boxier, more substantial exterior with a taller front end, flat hood, and a larger grille, while side surfaces look cleaner and more taut. The rear is also revamped: spy shots show the license plate moved off the tailgate to the bumper, and vertical taillights linked by a thin horizontal light bar. Inside, the cabin is set to adopt Pleos Connect, Hyundai’s operating system based on Android Automotive for its next software-defined vehicles. A large central screen may range from 12.9 to 14.6 inches, potentially paired with a second 12.3-inch display, alongside the AI-powered Gleo assistant.
