2027 Hyundai Tucson redesign.

The popular Hyundai Tucson is due for a redesign very soon. And today we have new illustrations giving us a look at the 2027 model inside and out.

The new illustrations above show what we have seen from the many spy shots previously published. This is a much more angular shape, similar to the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. Or even some Kia models.

Inside, it looks like what we have already seen of future Hyundai interiors. Which is one large central screen with a row of physical buttons at the bottom. and a very thin much smaller screen in front of the driver. Unfortunatelly, a very generic design will also be included in thre upcoming g 2nd generation Ioniq 5.

To me, that already feels a little tired and frankly, quite easy and repetitive. All new Kias start looking the same these days. And the new, very angular-looking generation Santa Fe has not been as popular (at least in the US) as the previous one.

The illustration above also shows quite a busy design, especially at the front end. It seems obnoxiously big grilles are being replaced by an infinite number of horizontal lines.

The current Tucson has been a big hit for Hyundai, with over 206,000 sold last year alone. The next one could end up being a bit too much of a gamble.

At the same time, Hyundai may feel it has no choice but to keep pushing its design language forward. The compact SUV segment is incredibly competitive, and standing still is rarely an option. Buyers now expect bold styling, large screens, hybrid options, and a near-premium feel even in mainstream models. A conservative update might simply get lost in the crowd.

Still, there’s a fine line between distinctive and overdone. The current Tucson managed to look modern without going too far. If this new generation leans too heavily into sharp edges and complex lighting signatures, it could alienate some loyal customers. Much will depend on how the final production model balances drama with everyday usability, something Hyundai has generally handled well in the past.

While illustraations from NYMammoth are great, let’s hope the final products turns out a bit better…
