5 Key Updates of Hyundai Tucson Facelift
Redesigned Exterior
The first aspect that is common with every facelift is the exterior styling. That is the first thing that customers notice with the new versions of vehicles. This time around, the Korean giant has not offered a comprehensive overhaul to the styling. Instead, there are minor modifications to the Parametric Grille design, the LED headlamps, bumper and alloy wheels. At the rear, these minor alterations continue. This ensures that the onlookers will distinguish it from the outgoing model.

The flagship SUV from Hyundai in India will now feature the latest steering wheel design with control buttons and tons of exciting new features.
Updated Dual Display Screens
All modern cars offer digital estate for the convenience of the passengers and the Tucson is no different. On this occasion, the Tucson will feature two 12.3-inch screens – one for the infotainment and one for the driver’s instrument cluster. The former will have tons of tech and connectivity features for the owners. On the other hand, the latter will display all sorts of information to the driver.
