2027 Hyundai Tucson XRT spotted testing in Korea. Looks like Hyundai is pushing the next-gen Tucson further toward the rugged “XRT Pro” style with a boxier shape, chunkier tires, and a much more upright front end.
Next-gen Hyundai Tucson hybrid spotted with interior exposed
Next-gen Hyundai Tucson spotted testing in Las Vegas with much less camouflage. New boxier shape, vertical taillights, and surprisingly, regular door handles instead of the flush handles seen on earlier prototypes. The interior is also expected to feature a 17-inch display with Pleos Connect.

Next-generation Hyundai Tucson spotted at Hyundai’s Namyang R&D Center parking lot.
That new horizontal DRL looks set to become Hyundai’s next signature design element.
The pictured test vehicle also provides a closer look at the revised lighting signatures. Beneath the camo wrap, the carparazzi have noticed a futuristic interpretation of Hyundai’s front signature lighting rather than an evolution of the lights from the outgoing model.

Hyundai’s next-generation Tucson was spotted during an extreme brake durability test in the mountains, and things got a little dramatic. According to the photographers, one of the front brakes overheated, smoke started pouring out, and both front tires eventually failed from the heat, forcing Hyundai to end the test early. Support crews even used fire extinguishers to cool the prototype down.
While it looks alarming, this is exactly the kind of abuse manufacturers intentionally put prototypes through. Repeated heavy braking on steep mountain roads while towing or carrying loads is designed to expose weaknesses in brake cooling, software calibration, and component durability before production.
The incident also gave photographers their best look yet at the 2027 Tucson. The latest prototype wears less camouflage up front and reveals a redesigned cabin with a landscape-oriented infotainment display replacing many of the physical buttons, signaling a more software-focused interior.
