In the competitive world of modern-day automotive trends, Hyundai is gearing up to introduce a mid-cycle refresh for its popular compact crossover, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson. While the bigger Santa Fe has already received a boxier styling update, the Tucson’s design will remain largely unchanged, staying true to its appealing and distinctive appearance.
The exterior changes may not be drastic, but they will be noticeable. Up front, expect new main lighting clusters and a revised lighting signature, cleverly incorporated into the grille. Although the bumper changes are minimal, a redesigned central intake and lower section will add a fresh touch. However, the sleek and modern flush-mounted door handles, a rising trend in the automotive world, may not grace the Tucson until its next-generation iteration.
While the profile will remain untouched, there are hints at potential upgrades to the wheel designs. The rear of the vehicle remains shrouded in mystery due to heavy camouflage, but it is likely to receive a new bumper, updated diffuser, and restyled taillights with fresh graphics.
2024 Hyundai Tucson Interior
Inside the cabin, the 2024 Tucson will retain its current layout, which may seem a bit dated compared to the more modern Santa Fe. However, improvements are expected in terms of software updates for the infotainment and digital gauge displays. Hyundai may also introduce a new steering wheel and update the center console, retaining familiar features like cup holders, a minimalist gear selector, electric parking brake, and essential controls for convenience and safety.
While significant changes inside may not be on the horizon, the 2024 Tucson is likely to receive new upholstery and trim options. Hyundai is also expected to enhance safety features, in line with the industry’s focus on advanced driver-assistance systems.
Regarding powertrains, official details are still under wraps. However, it’s speculated that the gasoline and electrified units will receive updates to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. In North America, the 2.5-liter inline-four engine is expected to continue delivering 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, with front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive available as an option.
The electrified options introduced in the 2023 Tucson lineup – the Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid variants – are expected to carry over to the 2024 model. The Hybrid offers a combined 226 horsepower, while the Plug-in Hybrid packs a punchier 261 horsepower and an impressive battery-electric driving range of 33 miles.
