Hyundai Tucson 2021 launched with bold, futuristic design for P1.3M price

Hyundai finally reveals the 2021 Tucson with big changes especially on the design and options for plug-in and hybrid variants in select countries including in the Philippines.

Perhaps the most noticeable change is on the exterior of the compact 5-seater SUV as it now features an integrated LED day time running lights on its front grille with triangle accents.  The overall front looks like it came from the future with more visible, edgy lines at the sides going to the rear.
