2010 Hyundai Tucson caught at the parking place
The current Hyundai Tucson SUV represents Hyundais entry into crossover vehicle market, is known as a world-wide success. It has become a familiar component of the Hyundai range and ever since its official launch in 2004, the Tucson has been among top 5 selling Hyundai vehicles worldwide.
After a very long wait, we finally have an evidence that Hyundai is seriously developing a Tucson CUV successor. Here we have the very first image of the next generation Tucson, which was caught sitting at the parking place near Hyundais research and development center in S. Korea. First prototypes of the 2010 Tucson were already seen in the Death Valley in USA, where Tucson has been undergoing some hot-weather and endurance testing.
The 2010 Hyundai Tucson is being developed on Hyundais compact architecture, which will also spawn next generation Kia Sportage crossover. Heavily camouflaged exterior does not allow us to see much of its exterior design, but the new model will feature cleaner design language and a sportier cues than its predecessor.
To keep up with competitors such as Ford Kuga and Renault Koleos, Hyundai plans to put a wide range of technologiclaly advanced gasoline and diesel engines under the Tucsons bonnet. The currently available V6 gasoline engine will be axed in favor to more fuel efficient 4-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. New to the Tucson will be the turbocharged 2,0L gasoline engine, packing around 200 horsepower, while a hybrid option is rumoured to be available as well.
No details about exact release date has been revealed so far, but we are expecting the all-new Hyundai Tucson to be launched in late 2009, as a 2010 model.

I personally fell in love with that stunning Hyundai caught napping. I cannot wait to personally see it live when I visit the plant in December. Last year I saw some models when I was in South Korea. I am intending to visit again.
I wish I could use this magnificent car to market to South Africans. I know within a short period of time, I would have generated sales of unprecedented nature, given how I know the way in which South African tick when it comes to these 4X4s
My number is 0832688748.
If there is a chance to be afforded an opportunity to market this car, so be it. I am planning to visit Seoul between 11 December and 14 December 2008

Loved my 2007 Tucsan Limited, past tense because a young woman ran a red light, jumped over a median and two lanes, to crash into me and total my car. Must say, it held up very well since I walked away with few injuries. Only question was about right side driver’s air bag. It didn’t deploy and we think from looking at the photos that it should have. BUT, it was sturdy enough to take a HUGE hit from a run-away truck.

Error made in last post. The driver’s front airbag deployed. It was the bag on the driver’s door that didn’t. Worst damage was to back panel and rear of car, though, so maybe that explains it. Will buy another one as soon as 2010’s are out–if I can wait that long. If I can’t, I’ll go for a Ford Escape. Question: I live in Florida. Why all the black and grey cars today with black interiors? Wish ONE line had the courage to live a more colorful life–and a cooler one.

Last year in July, I made a comment about the Hyundai caught napping. I would like to know whether it is possible to be given an opportunity to market these models by means of driving them to those interested in THEM like me. I request Management to assist me with response

When will the 2010 model of Hyundai Tucson be launch in South Africa, I want to buy one !

Isn’t it better to wait to buy the new Tucson in 2010 instead of buying a 2009 Tucson now? Is there going to be a huge price difference?
What about all the old Tucson’s - will their prices drop significantly or will they still be marketable?
Love the shape of the current Tucson and upset that they are wanting to do away with it? Are they too pricey on petrol?
Why the change so soon?

The old Tuscon, frankly is an Econo Box compared to this new Model.
The Old Tuscon represents the old Econo Hyundai, not the New Near Luxury company we have become.

After this Tuscon and Sonata gets replaced in the States, the Accent and the Azera will be the oldest models in the lineup.
That Means I as an Accent Lover Expect to see more and more spy shots of different variants soon, right?

It’s a great improvement no matter how you look at it. Most won’t accept the fact that Hyundai’s are not become more stylish and in 10 years time who knows what may happen. Let time run its paces.

Can anyone tell me when the 2011 will be out? Some dealers tell me that the 2010 is the 2011. I just cannot believe that. What I have read on the internet about it is there are differences. If you would like info just search 2011 Hyundai Tucson and let me know what you think.
