More pictures of Hyundai’s Tucson concept
Last Updated:
That’s pretty much what it is. Whatever they want to call it.
it also looks very production ready. Except for some trims and details.
If this is close to what the production model will look like, they will have quite a hit on their hands.
It looks much better than most of the small crossover/SUV competition.
i LOVE Ford of Europe’s designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
….wait, this is a hyundai?!
Anyone else see a lot of Enclave in the profile? Regardless, it looks nice enough…
Hyundai has come of age and the age of Hyundai has finally arrived.
Interesting to note: so many people still ignore this fact and you will see lots of posts bashing Hyundai. But too bad for them. They are missing the boat of good quality, performance and value.
But give Hyundai another 5 years and will be recognized as the real force that it actually is.
Isn’t this a rip-off of Nissan Murano and Rouge. How can you praise it rather than calling foul?
what about the dealer service level of Hyundai? the reviews have it at the bottom of the list. Anyone have personal experience with Hyundai service?
looks rather large…
can you say Hyundai SANTA FE 2010+….?
3RD pic: What is the name on the bottom of the open door?
“Isn’t this a rip-off of Nissan Murano and Rouge. How can you praise it rather than calling foul?”
I do not get this obsession about blaming certain companies for “stealing” or emulating other companies’ designs. It is what it is. If you do not like it, do not buy it. But, admit, at least, that it is very nice looking and different than what we see on the roads today. And it is a feather on their hat for introducing these designs in such a short existence in the US. Do not forget that Huyndai was the butt of jokes 10 years ago.
I had a hyundai as a company car and everytime i left it at the dealership for a service it ended up being there for at least 2 days even though it was only in for a basic service. There still needs to be improvement on this part.
Alot of improvement.
To hyns:
It says “ix-onic”. It’s the name of the concept car.
I think it looks great, and nothing like a Rogue or Murano.

My girlfriend has a ’09 Sonata Limited that gets serviced at Fairfax Hyundai. She has never had a problem with the vehicle (now at 20K) or with service at the dealer.
It is like any other dealer, some are good and some aren’t. If you aren’t having luck then go try another…
Yes, I believe Hyundai is starting to copy new Buick Designes. THe sides of this look like the Enclave, and the new Larger than Genisis sedan has the “sweep-spear” from the new LaCrosse.
Yes looks like small Buick Enclave. I always said GM needs a small Enclave. A small Enclave would be a big hit.
Looks great from the outside looking in. The problem is looking from the inside out.
The HUGE blind spot created by the tiny rear side window is dangerous.
Too many new vehicles are short on window glass.
i know it’s hard to tell, but my one piece stackable lawn chairs seems to be the same as the material used inside the door panel. knowing the Kia/ Hyundai group, it’s probably the same. hey, how come kia and hyundai never admit they are the 100% same company? I know why…even Hyundai is embarassed to admit Kias are the same as hyundai’s…..as they say in Thailand or malaysia or wherever they come from…junk is junk….hey don’t cry poor hyudai sales people, just admit to the garbage you sell.

Incorrect.
The “side spear” has been around for a while on the Azera. Maybe you should take a look…
I don’t know how dealer service is, but according to the JD Powers reliability survey that you posted last week, Hyundai is above the industry average, above BMW and Mercedes. This vehicle is a very decent looking car. It might now be the most original design on the road, but what car doesn’t look like something else? It looks very modern and is better looking than the Nissans mentioned above.
what is with the talk about “copying” or “ripping” off another car designer. People randomly throw out these comments for no logical reason. All car manufacturers follow the latest design trends just like clothing designers or any other type of design. Look at how many touch screen phones are out there after the iphone. If you look at any car on the road, you can find similarities. Its just a fact of life.
I say the poeple hating on Hyundai are the people who got laid off from GM. Goodbye Saturn and Saab. See yeah wouldn’t want to be yea.

You do realize that Hyundai and Kia are doing very well despite the economic downturn and the “carpocalypse”, right?
You do realize that the vehicle above is a PRE PRODUCTION CONCEPT, right??? The materials won’t be the same when it hits production.
You do realize that the Genesis just won North American car of the year, right?
You do realize that Hyundai is building a very good car now, right?
Please go sit down and take a timeout, you are embarassing yourself.
malaysian garbage
Theres a little more than you’d expect in every hyundai.
Amazing how Hyundai was considered a POS just above the YUGO 20 years ago.
In only about 5 or 6 years since 2002 or ’03, Hyundai’s emphasis on quality has been decidedly successful.
And how long did it take GM to erase it’s reputation for building crap in the mid-1970’s? It took GM perhaps 15 years before it was safe to buy a Chevy that wasn’t a rebadged Toyota (Nova, Geo Prizm, etc.).
Now that GM and Ford cars are quite good, not enough people believe it.
i don’t expect much from kia, and much less from hyundai, some idiot actually defends this chinese garbage. they make good soo guy but no goo car
“they make good soo guy but no goo car”
Vince, 3yr olds are able to post now but other more intelligent post don’t make the cut?
Maybe the rules should be made clear.
