Arguably the best-looking Tucson to date.

Hyundai is undoubtedly on a roll with its vehicular production since the year started. It started from the advanced-looking 2021 Hyundai Elantra to the fourth-generation Hyundai Tucson. The all-new Tucson comes with a stunning exterior and interior design. Arguably, the 2021 Tucson is the best-looking version yet of this Korean compact crossover. 

It certainly looks good on the photos but Asian Petrolhead shows us the design of the new Hyundai Tucson in the metal. Perhaps one of the most ambitious features the new Tucson has is found on its front fascia. The uniquely-designed LED headlights seamlessly blend with the crossover’s wide front grille.

Hyundai calls the grille and LED headlights combo “Parametric Hidden Lights.” As the name suggests, the LED headlights disappear and purposely blend with the shapes of the grille.

The new jewel-like grille and LED headlights are complemented well by the body lines that run through the hood. Moreover, the front end is also added with larger fog lamps as compared to the outgoing model.
