Hyundai has introduced the fifth-generation Tucson in Korea with a larger cabin, updated technology, full-width lighting and a new XRT variant.
Hyundai has officially unveiled the 2027 Hyundai Tucson in South Korea, introducing the fifth-generation SUV with a significantly updated appearance, a more spacious cabin and a range of new technology.
The latest model represents a major evolution from the outgoing Tucson while adopting Hyundai’s latest design direction.
The new Tucson measures 4,700mm in length, 1,905mm in width and 1,685mm in height, riding on a 2,785mm wheelbase.
Compared with its predecessor, the SUV is 60mm longer, 40mm wider and has gained 30mm in wheelbase, creating additional room for passengers and luggage.
Hyundai says the expanded dimensions have helped improve practicality. Rear-seat headroom has increased by 29mm, while the second-row doors can now open to 83 degrees compared with 73 degrees previously.
These changes are designed to make entering and exiting the vehicle easier while improving overall cabin usability.
Inside, the 2027 Hyundai Tucson receives a comprehensive redesign inspired by Hyundai’s newer models.
The dashboard features a floating-style layout and a larger central touchscreen running the company’s Pleos software interface.
A slim display positioned ahead of the driver replaces the conventional instrument cluster and provides important driving information in a higher, more visible position.
Korean-market models will also offer features including dual wireless smartphone charging and a dedicated card holder positioned beside the driver’s air vent.
Hyundai will provide several interior colour combinations, including grey, beige and brown themes alongside a black interior option.
For buyers seeking a more rugged SUV, Hyundai has also introduced the new Tucson XRT. The variant features a distinctive grille, wider skid-plate elements, black wheel-arch detailing, exclusive alloy wheels and a redesigned rear bumper.
Its cabin receives patterned seats and protective floor mats, while touch-sensitive LED lighting on the tailgate adds convenience during outdoor activities.
Hyundai has yet to reveal full details about the Tucson’s platform and powertrains. However, the SUV is expected to receive an updated version of the company’s 1.6-litre hybrid system, alongside other petrol and plug-in hybrid options depending on the market.
With its larger dimensions, redesigned interior and expanded technology package, the 2027 Hyundai Tucson is positioned as a more practical and sophisticated evolution of Hyundai’s popular SUV.
