Hyundai Unveils Redesigned Tucson With Hybrid Power

Hyundai unveiled its redesigned fifth-generation Tucson at a New York event, introducing sharper styling, updated hybrid powertrains and a new infotainment system. The automaker says the SUV is expected to reach U.S. roads in early 2027; North American sales are planned for 2027, while pricing and final EPA fuel-economy ratings have not been announced in the reports. The new Tucson adopts Hyundai’s Art of Steel design language, with a more upright profile, angular surfaces and prominent fenders. It measures 4,700 millimeters long and 1,905 millimeters wide, 60 millimeters longer and 40 millimeters wider than the outgoing model. The wheelbase has grown by 30 millimeters to 2,785 millimeters, and the rear doors open wider, according to the reported specifications. Hyundai says the hybrid powertrain produces 233 horsepower. The company is targeting up to 42 miles per gallon for a front-wheel-drive version with 17-inch wheels, but the Environmental Protection Agency has not issued official ratings. The target is not a verified fuel-economy result, and ratings for other configurations remain pending. A plug-in hybrid is also part of the announced lineup in some markets.
