Hyundai has just pulled the wraps off its next generation Tucson compact SUV that replaces the ix35 a number of markets during a media presentation in Europe.

Information is limited right now, but we expect Hyundai to share details in the next few hours.

From these first images, we see that the Korean firm’s Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V competitor gains a bolder exterior with more chiseled surfaces and a sportier stance than the outgoing ix35 or the current Tucson in North America.

Expect turbocharged diesel and gasoline units for the European model.

The new Tucson will celebrate its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
