Hyundai is launching the fourth generation of the Tucson SUV. So far, I have had the opportunity to travel approximately two hundred kilometers on the roads in Central Bohemia. The competition will definitely worry, as the following review shows.
Modern design will be loved by some customers, but discouraged by some. People at Hyundai are counting on that too

Forget about boredom. Hyundai designers began to follow this motto. One of the first proofs of this belief is the new generation of the Tucson sport utility vehicle. It is just now coming to market in its fourth version, although the second generation was referred to differently – ix35.
You can get acquainted with the exterior and interior of the news by viewing our annotated photo gallery.
This is an absolutely key model for the Korean brand in Europe, which automatically applies to the Hyundai factory in Nošovice, from where it leaves for customers on the “old continent”.
It is also popular with Czech motorists. “Also in this difficult year, we have sold more than four thousand of them, and it could have been more if the production of the third generation did not end,” said Martin Saitz, CEO of the Czech representation. Although he is aware that the new design, especially the front of the car, may not suit everyone, he believes in continuing the success story of this model.
The ancestor is really interesting. If the ignition is not switched on, the radiator grille is completely dark. However, when the start button is pressed, five of the six segments in the corner of the mask light up, which are actually daytime running lights. This creates the impression of a kind of “angel wings”. There is also a sixth segment. For a change, it performs the function of turn signals.
