The overall design of the car has been changed drastically from its sort of funky design to a more conservative appearance.

The Tucson is named after the American city of Tucson, Arizona.
Now enough about the cars history and lets look at the present and what Hyundai has to offer.
The new model car has a flared front grille similar to that of the cars big brother the Hyundai Santa Fe. For the first time Hyundai has also introduced the 7-speed EcoShift dual clutch transmission in the Tucson creating a good balance between power and efficiency for the car.
Whereas for those who likes the great outdoors or simply to gaze at the stars in the sky at night, i am sure that you will find the panoramic sunroof which stretches from the front seats all the way to the back of the car as heavily welcomed.
