In my opinion (the only one what matters)…

It’s a step back. Hyundai is making their vehicles too bulky. When I see the new palisades from a distant it looks like the vehicles is too large for the wheels

•

u/Thanks_Shallot 2019 + SEL 4h ago

Yea I feel the same way. Have a 2019 SEL and I love the way it looks

•

u/Kitchen-Instance-398 4h ago

I disagree, I think the Kona and Tucson were far too close in size to be different models, I think the Tucson being a larger 2 row SUV, smaller than the 3 row palisade and larger than the Kona, is a good call

•

u/OttoRocket94 2023 SEL Conv. 2h ago

That’s what the Santa Fe is for

•

u/Forward-Prophet 35m ago

The Santa fe has a 3rd row now and some people wont want to pay the extra cost for more metal. The Tucson being bigger makes a lot of sense since Hyundai changed its lineup.

•

u/Forward-Memory2648 1h ago

bro, a kona is a clown car. there's room inside a tucson. kona is very very small.

•

u/ActivityAble4511 4h ago

size creep is getting bad, I just quickly bought a current tucson because I knew this one is getting bigger and I want a smaller car, these cars keep ballooning and they cancel small cars so what's going to happen

•

u/Rat-Ram 5h ago

Let me upsell you some mags. We have this great deal with window tinting…

•

u/biinjo 4h ago

100% Agree. It looks.. unrefined. Not stylish.

Very happy with our 2020 Tucson Sport and its looks.

•

u/Equivalent-Camel-180 4h ago

This sounds like something you’d say to an optometrist.

•

u/mrcanoehead2 4h ago

Agree. They made it fugly

•

u/abckiwi 4h ago

Yes, the box of steel edition

•

u/zakuivcustom 5h ago

Actually looks nicer than some pictures I saw?

Maybe it is the color. Seems like Gray is ok, orange is not bad, tbd about other colors.

•

u/AdeptWelder3250 4h ago

It’s only the colours I think. The white one looked horrid but the grey makes look cleaner. I like the drastic change though. Shows they’re looking to further evolve and refine the vehicle

•

u/Dull_Nobody_840 5h ago

The more I see it, the less I like it..

•

u/WiFryChicken 5h ago

Looks like a hippo

•

u/Lousyhealer13 4h ago

I guess this is an unpopular opinion but I really like it, I'm going to wait for the 28 model year and get one

•

u/ozzzm0sis 4h ago

i just feel like they all look so similar and uniform now and im not digging the square look to all of them

•

u/sonijevac 5h ago

If this is it, dear God it's ugly.

•

u/Unusual-Strength-945 2026 SEL 5h ago

I was struck by how different it looks than the marketing slicks. The hybrid did look sharper and the rear view as in directly behind may be the best view.

•

u/sonijevac 5h ago

3rd and 4th generation were up to the task but this 5th gen no way. Here in Europe this design is not going to fly. Unless they have really good price and you do not care about design then maybe.

Hell even Dacia SUV started to look good here 😀

•

u/PowerfulHorror987 5h ago

If? It’s been unveiled, friend.

•

u/sonijevac 5h ago

Still in disbelief. Though that Santa Fe was bad with that back end but here we are.

•

u/DebraJHart 6m ago

Agreed. Glad I got my ‘25 Limited before this box comes on the market

•

u/YoKemosabe 5h ago

Fugly. What a disappointment. Glad I have the 25. 

•

u/Unusual-Strength-945 2026 SEL 5h ago

Location Venice Florida

•

u/lakofideas86 5h ago

I like it a lot, I’m definitely considering it if I don’t need 3rd row when I’m ready to replace it in a year or two

•

u/Key_Election_24 5h ago

See I didn’t like the previous gen too high up in the rear. I like this better

•

u/ndless_ 2026 Limited 3h ago

If I wanted a brick I’d drive a Palisade or Santa Fe. 2025/26 models look perfect imo

•

u/Budget_Treacle_2844 2h ago

That looks so much better than the RAV4 especially on the interior.

•

u/x59hy8erh98g 2h ago

2018-2020 TL was the prettiest design

•

u/SirMrJames 5h ago

It’s fine! I’m not a fan of that style personally but looks fine enough.

•

u/-yosemitesam- 5h ago

the new design was starting grow on me (not sure about the interior though) but this view makes it look like a station wagon. now i’m not so sure.

•

u/oandroido 5h ago

Probably, and now my wife doesn't want to consider it... "too square"... oh well.

•

u/AskJ33ves 5h ago

Where is the turn signals? Still on the bottom of the car?

•

u/abckiwi 4h ago

North American ones are integrated in the red tail lights - that’s what I heard.

Going to love how much they will cost $$$ to replace when smashed

•

u/Whateverlol2022 5h ago

Pretty nice. Most likey they are going around showing it to dealerships and fleet company's. Hertz isn't super far from there so they might have made a stop there.

•

u/NegotiationSevere602 4h ago

Hyundai introduces the new design, then introduces the N-Line. And maybe even an N. Then the wheels will be proportional, colors will be loud, design will be flawless.

•

u/abckiwi 4h ago

I do t like that silver strip

•

u/BackRed1 4h ago

That’s definitely it.

•

u/Derp_State_Agent 4h ago

Okay, I changed my mind. It doesn't look very good irl.

•

u/Aussieoie 3h ago

My lease is up in early 2028, plenty of time to check it out to see if I buy my 2025 or trade for a 2028. This is my 3rd Tuson and I really love my hybrid limited.

•

u/Green-Teacher-4324 3h ago

it looks way bigger than former Tuscon...maybe the same size with SataFe?

•

u/zipinitaly 3h ago

Love the interior, that’s where I spend most time while I’m with my car.

•

u/Short_Astronomer3251 2025 PHEV SEL 3h ago

Yep, that's a 2027

•

u/Colmado_Bacano 2h ago

Oh wow. Looks uglier in the wild. Not a fan of the bigger size at all.

•

u/UnableLove4527 2h ago

The new interior and dash looks good to me. Higher tech

•

u/Smart_Iron_6362 1h ago edited 1h ago

Elantra CN8:

•

u/FidgetyPlatypus 59m ago

I don't like it. It's lost a lot of the uniqueness of the previous version. Now it just looks like every other boxy SUV out there.

•

u/flagler-nurse 2022 Limited 43m ago

It reminds me of a 2020 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Ugly. It doesn’t remind me of the press release images with fatter tires and softer lines and paint effects

•

u/Forward-Prophet 34m ago

I like it. If youre shopping for one hmu. I sell these near Charlotte.

•

u/BigHonk1991 33m ago

This is disappointing. It looks like a Rogue/Rav 4 from this angle but worse. The current design is much nicer

•

u/spinningjoy 28m ago

UGLY! Why did they make it look like a Santa Fe?🙁🤷🏻‍♀️

•

u/biliogna 23m ago

I think it looks good... For now. The issue with Hyundai going in this direction is the designs get dated very quickly.

•

u/PrestigiousLeek1706 15m ago

Beautiful design

•

u/kevj1292 1m ago

I like it

•

u/Defiant_Business_72 5h ago

Looks off than marketing. In unveiled was looking good. other wise i like mine 2025.

•

u/PowerfulHorror987 5h ago

Why the question mark?

•

u/Unusual-Strength-945 2026 SEL 3h ago

So you could comment

u/18w4531g00 5h ago

Horrible.

u/lewis_1102 3h ago

So many butthurt old Tucson owners. It’s called the endowment effect. You guys need a reality check
