Front:
- The grille mesh appears to have a new design, combining thick and skinny portions.
- The headlights don’t have any apparent revisions, but it’s hard to see them clearly due to the concealment.
- Blocks underneath the camouflage conceal the hood’s shape.
Profile:
- The doors and the hatchback are covered, making it difficult to discern any design changes.
- The wheels feature spokes that narrow at the hub and widen towards the rim.
Rear:
- The heavy camouflage makes it challenging to see changes at the back.
- The taillights are partially hidden, making it unclear if any design updates exist.
- The exhaust pipes have a rectangular outlet and a trapezoidal opening, which provides an attractive visual appearance.
The timing of these updates is surprising since the current Tucson was released for the 2022 model year. The existing model shares design similarities with the latest Elantra, particularly in the front.
