A heavily camouflaged prototype of the 2010 Hyundai Tucson has been spied at the very famous test-track, called the “Ring” in Germany, where Hyundai has been testing the handling behaviour of its forthcoming compact crossover.
Set to be officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September, the 2010 Hyundai Tucson will sport a bit less radical exterior design than this year’s Geneva show ix-onic concept model. Inside, the new Tucson will boast a more upscale cabin design and more space for the driver and occupants.
The all-new 2010 Hyundai Tucson will share its core parts, such as uni-body platform, engines and transmissions with next Kia Sportage crossover. With fuel-economy more important than ever, Hyundai will offer the Tucson with various four-cylinder diesel and gasoline engines. The engine-range will include the latest high-tech 2.0L R-diesel and a 1.6L gasoline GDI (gasoline direct injection) engines.
For the European market, Hyundai Tucson will be renamed to Hyundai iX35. The new Tucson is expected to go on sale in Europe at the end of the year, while sales in North America are expected to commence in the first half of the 2010. [photosource: bobaedream]
