Prior to its official global debut scheduled for early 2024, Hyundai has taken the covers off the fourth-generation Tucson. This update is the first refresh for the latest Tucson model since it launched three years ago, showcasing a heavily overhauled interior and minor exterior tweaks along with a commitment to introducing more tech and convenience features.
The 2024 Tucson maintains the existing model's "Parametric Dynamics" design language but undergoes an evolution with slimmer, more angular lines in the grille and updated Parametric Jewel hidden daytime running lights.
The bumper and skid plates have undergone adjustments, resulting in a visually broader appearance. On each side, the vehicle now rides on redesigned alloy wheels, while at the rear, the enlarged skid plates are now integrated into the bumper molding. The changes are very subtle, in fact, you’ll probably only notice the changes when you put the pre-facelift and post-facelift versions side by side.
Inside the Tucson, the biggest change can be found in its dashboard design. The vertical "waterfall" center stack has been removed, with Hyundai opting instead for a simpler and cleaner design that matches the new Santa Fe. This influence is evident in the integrated instrument and infotainment screens, forming one cohesive unit.
Moving further left, other updates to note include a new steering wheel-column mounted electronic shifter, a redesigned steering wheel, and touch-sensitive climate controls. Even the center armrest console appears to have been modified to better accommodate the wireless device charger.
Those are the changes in the Tucson as far as the exterior and interior are concerned. However, Hyundai has not mentioned if there will be any updates for the Tucson’s powertrain. The Hyundai Tucson sold here in the Philippines comes with two engine options: a 2.0-liter gasoline engine and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine. The diesel engine generates 183 hp and 416 Nm of torque, coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the gasoline engine produces 154 hp and 192 Nm of torque paired with a six-speed automatic. If any powertrain changes will be introduced to the Tucson, we’ll find out in the coming weeks as Hyundai puts out more information.
