The next generation Hyundai Tucson has been spotted sweating it out during hot weather testing in the United States and we have a great look at it.
Production for the Korean market is expected to start in the last quarter of 2009, with sales in the States starting in mid-2010 – likely making the all-new Tucson a 2011 model year offering in North America. Sources are saying to expect only 4-cylinder powerplants, including a turbocharged model after the initial launch. While insiders told up they had some pretty modern designs on the drawing boards, the Hyundai decision makers went for a traditional, yet new (and “safe”) look for the small crossover. Some rumors have this vehicle being renamed "iX35", but that may only be for the European and Asian markets.
