In the meantime, we try to give a virtual overview of the India-bound Tucson. A few spy shots of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson doing rounds on our roads have already surfaced online.

2022 Hyundai Tucson Exterior Design:

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson was the first Hyundai SUV to incorporate the brand’s new design philosophy. With an updated cascading grille up front, Z-shaped side panels and connected LED taillights, the Tucson served as a preview to future Hyundai offerings. The LED headlights of the 2022 Tucson are seamlessly integrated into the cascading grille slots. The side profile sports multiple sharps and creases, forming a Z-shape as a signature design element. The top variants get dual-tone alloy wheels that measure at 19-inches. At the rear, the Tucson gets connected LED taillights and knurled finishing on the lower bumper.
