2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV - Design

Tucson’s new exterior styling expresses Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness design identity. The new SUV embodies what Hyundai designers call ‘parametric dynamics’. The SUV comes with half-mirror type daytime running lamps (DRLs) that are assimilated within the parametric grille, and are only revealed when illuminated. The car features a long hood and level roofline coupled with a long wheelbase. It also features a chrome line that begins from the side mirrors and follows the arc of the roofline with a gradual increase in thickness as it reaches the C pillar.

The kinetic design theme carries over to the rear where the full-width tail lamp incorporates half-hidden triangular shapes that are only visible when lit, similar to the DRL on the front. In order to achieve this design theme, the Hyundai logo moved up and is integrated into the glass while the wiper also moves up and hides under the rear spoiler.
