Following the official rendering shown earlier this month, Hyundai Germany has released a teaser photo of the all-new Tucson SUV, which will have a pre-Geneva presentation tomorrow.
The image only offers a glimpse at the new model’s front end, where we can see the fog lights and LED DRLs grouped together, as well as a small portion of the headlights and the intricate design of the alloy wheels.
As a reminder, Hyundai’s new compact SUV will drop the ix35 name in Europe and will return to the Tucson nameplate.
The new model promises to sport a more athletic appearance, with the automaker describing it as having an “upright silhouette and sleek character line.” If the production car stays true as much as possible to the design sketch released early this month, I think it’s safe to say the new Tucson will be a massive improvement over the current ix35 from a styling point of view.
Here’s what Hyundai Motor Group’s design boss Peter Schreyer recently said: “Our new compact SUV will be a big step forward for the Hyundai brand globally. The all-new Tucson has a bold and athletic presence and a proud stance. Its design is characterized by flowing surfaces, bold proportions, sharp lines and – most important – our brand signature hexagonal grille.”
