Next generation Hyundai Tuscon spied for the first time

Here are the first spy shot of the next generation Hyundai Tucson.

The Tucson is Hyundai's compact SUV and comes in one slot beneath the Santa Fe in its product lineup. The current generation Tucson has been in service since 2005 so this coming one should be expected as a 2010 model.

The Tucson currently comes with 2 petrol/gasoline engine variants - a 2.0 liter and a 2.7 liter V6. In Europe, a 2.0 liter diesel is also offered. A four-wheel drive version, featuring a Borg-Warner torque control system is also optional. No new power plants have yet been announced for this next generation Tucson.

The compact SUV shares a platform with the Hyundai Elantra and the Kia Sportage SUV.

These pictures appear to have been taken in front of a Hyundai/Kia Motors headquarters somewhere in Europe. It seems they're keeping this heavily camouflaged Tucson close to home.

The new design of Hyundai is so ugly.

Interesting rear three quarter... notice the glass area, looks similar to the boring Lexus RX. Wake me up when something interesting come up.

Umm... while these are the first pics of the interior, they aren't the first pics of the exterior. Those were posted on the 26th of September, and other shots have popped up over the last few months.

As for the vehicle itself, from what I can tell, I think it'll look quite nice; a vast improvement over the current vehicle. Why anyone'd buy this or a Santa Fe over the upcoming "Portico," however, is beyond me.
