2015 Tucson Exterior: How does it look?

The identity of Hyundai's design is becoming more and more evident when launching this crossover, shown at the top with grille and lights. The tail is also very young, personality, but importantly, it looks very attractive and not controversial as that of rival CR-V. In terms of sophistication, the full equipment that appeared at the launch event looked more alive and eye-catching than the predecessor model Santa Fe.

With dimensions (length x width x height) of 4,475 x 1,850 x 1,660 (mm), the car looks very compact. In addition, the use of contrasting materials and colors in the brace around the car feels much more solid than the previous generation.

An impressive feature of the full version is the front light which uses LED technology for each side. In addition, there are daytime running lamps in the sporty fog lamp cluster.

Car experts have highly appreciated the width of the new Honda CR-V with the distance from the front seat to the back seat up to 81cm (when the driver is 1.7m tall adjusting the sitting position comfortable), but on Tucson 2015 even up to 85cm.
