2027 Hyundai Tucson Spied Testing In Europe, Here's What We Know
Hyundai is set to introduce its latest Pleos infotainment system in this SUV, which will come with the brand-new Gleo AI assistant.
The next-generation Hyundai Tucson has been spotted testing in Europe, and the spy shots reveal a fresh new look.
The SUV seems to be moving away from its current curvy design to embrace a more angular, rugged appearance, as per Carscoops.
The new design features a square-shaped nose, a flat bonnet, and a vertical front fascia. The front fenders continue the boxy trend, giving the SUV a strong road presence.
Design
Even the door frames are straighter now, with a rising waistline that hints at a sporty stance. While the back is still covered in camouflage, it appears to have a slightly sloping design, likely adding to its dynamic appeal.
Performance
The 2027 Tucson is expected to be a plug-in hybrid, offering an EV-only range of up to 100 km, ideal for short city drives. Diesel engines seem to be off the table this time, which aligns with Hyundai's focus on a cleaner, greener future.
You can also expect advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including Level 2+ hands-free driving tech, bringing it closer to semi-autonomous driving.
When Can We Expect It?
While Hyundai hasn't confirmed a launch date, the testing in Europe signals that the official reveal may not be far off. Given its hybrid nature and tech-loaded cabin, the 2027 Tucson could be a game-changer in the midsize SUV segment.

Qualcomm localising module production in India, supporting partners' manufacturing plans
US-based chip major Qualcomm is localising automotive module production in India and is supporting its top-tier ecosystem partners in their plan to move manufacturing into the country, a senior company official has said. Qualcomm Technologies, group general manager for automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, Nakul Duggal, told PTI that the company is investing heavily in India to support local automotive companies. "We build a lot of modules. Those modules are typically built in Taiwan, or China, or Korea, but we are now actively working in India to localise this. We, of course, partner with our Tier 1 ecosystem, such that as they move their manufacturing to India, we have been supporting them," he said. Duggal said that Qualcomm is a fabless company, which means it designs the chips but doesn't manufacture them. "For us, it's really about being able to create opportunities in our supply chain to be able to direct that (manufacture)," he said. Qualcomm has approximately 22,000 employees, or 60 per cent of its workforce, in India. Duggal said that the company has a local team to support domestic car manufacturers. Qualcomm has been bullish on chipsets for automobiles , especially electric vehicles . The company has partnered with all the major car OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), including Tata Motors, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, to provide them with chipsets for modernising cars. It has the Snapdragon Elite chipset platform for telematics, infotainment and driver assistance, including ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Duggal said that in 2026, there will probably be a dozen vehicles that will deploy its Snapdragon Cockpit Elite and Snapdragon Ride Elite SoC (System on Chip), which were announced in October 2024 and delivered to customers in early 2025. He said that India has a substantial domestic footprint encompassing both domestic and global automakers that manufacture locally. "There is a huge need for building products that cater to the needs of the Indian region. Rather than bringing in a product that is built for a global customer, build a product for a local customer. That necessitates for an OEM the need to have engineering capability, creative capability, to actually think about the needs of the local region, and we are starting to see that happen," he said. Duggal said building an automotive product for the local market will generate a competitive advantage, and China has benefited from this trend. The automotive segment of the company accounts for around 10 per cent of its global revenue, which is around USD 3.6 billion to USD 3.8 billion. The company has set a target to double the total revenue from the automotive business to about USD 8 billion by 2029.
