Hyundai Unveils 2027 Tucson as Its Most Ambitious Global SUV

The new model, which marks a significant evolution for Hyundai's best-selling global nameplate, features increased dimensions—growing 60 mm in length and 40 mm in width—to provide a more spacious, furniture-inspired cabin. The interior prioritizes ergonomic simplicity, utilizing a two-layered instrument panel and physical controls to reduce driver distraction, alongside the integration of the Pleos Connect infotainment system powered by Gleo AI.

Beyond comfort, the 2027 Tucson expands its off-road credentials with the introduction of the XRT PRO variant. This trim level features an elevated ground clearance of 210 mm, all-terrain tires, and Hyundai’s new Smart Terrain Assist, which provides real-time difficulty assessments for off-road navigation. Performance is driven by a next-generation hybrid powertrain, with a plug-in hybrid option offering an estimated 81 km of all-electric range. Production is set to launch in Korea later this year, followed by broader global rollouts in 2027.
