Design

Style wise, the Tuscon features a much simpler version of Hyundai's fluidic design philosophy. Hyundai's trademark hexagonal grille is as big as ever up front and has some bling in the form of chromed slats. The headlamps look sleek and the two part fog lights blend in very nicely with the sculpted bumper.

The sides of the SUV are dominated by the character line that runs from the front bumpers to the tail lamps which are quite angular.
