Stop the Press: The All-New 2027 Hyundai Tucson Has Been Revealed – Here’s What Could Be Coming to Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee
The next generation of one of Australia’s most popular medium SUVs has just broken cover.
Hyundai has officially revealed the all-new 2027 Hyundai Tucson overseas, introducing a dramatically new design, more interior space, next-generation technology and an upgraded hybrid powertrain.
For Hyundai SUV buyers across Kirrawee, the Sutherland Shire and South Sydney, there is plenty to get excited about.
While Australian pricing, specifications and an exact launch date are yet to be confirmed, here is our first look at what could be heading to Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee in 2027.
2027 Hyundai Tucson: What We Know So Far
At a glance, the new-generation Hyundai Tucson is expected to bring:
- An all-new fifth-generation design
- Hyundai’s new “Art of Steel” styling direction
- A more powerful 1.6-litre turbo-hybrid powertrain
- Combined hybrid outputs of 180kW and 380Nm
- A larger body and more spacious second row
- New-generation Pleos Connect infotainment technology
- A large central multimedia display
- A new Tucson XRT variant revealed overseas
- Improved fuel efficiency under Korean testing
- An expected Australian arrival during 2027, although timing is still to be confirmed
The redesigned Tucson measures 4700mm long, 1905mm wide and 1685mm tall, with a 2785mm wheelbase. Compared with the outgoing generation, it is 60mm longer, 40mm wider and has a 30mm longer wheelbase.
A Completely New Look for the Hyundai Tucson
You certainly won’t mistake the 2027 Tucson for the model it replaces.
Hyundai has moved towards its new “Art of Steel” design philosophy, giving the Tucson a stronger, more upright and more rugged appearance.
At the front, new vertical H-edge daytime running lights combine with a slim horizontal lighting element, while the rear continues the new lighting theme with distinctive three-dimensional prism-style tail-lights.
The result is a Tucson that looks more substantial and SUV-focused while still retaining the modern styling Hyundai has become known for.
For Sutherland Shire families looking for a medium SUV, the increased dimensions could also translate into one of the most important upgrades of all: more usable space.
More Room for Families
Hyundai says the larger dimensions have helped create additional cabin space in the new Tucson.
Second-row headroom has increased by 29mm, while the rear doors can now open to 83 degrees compared with 73 degrees previously. That wider opening could make everyday jobs such as fitting a child seat, helping children into the second row or loading larger items considerably easier.
It is another sign that Hyundai has kept everyday family use at the centre of the Tucson’s development.
The 2027 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Gets More Power
The biggest news may be under the bonnet.
Hyundai has confirmed its next-generation hybrid system for the new Tucson, combining a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a new dual-motor hybrid transmission.
The system produces a combined:
- 180kW of power
- 380Nm of torque
That is an increase from the 172kW and 367Nm produced by the current-generation Tucson Hybrid.
Hyundai also claims the new Tucson Hybrid can accelerate from 0–100km/h in approximately 8.5 seconds.
That means the next Tucson Hybrid is not simply about reducing fuel use. Hyundai is developing the system to deliver a stronger combination of efficiency and performance.
Will the 2027 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Use Less Fuel?
Early indications are promising.
Hyundai has quoted combined fuel consumption of approximately 5.7L/100km under Korean testing for the next-generation Tucson Hybrid.
Importantly, this figure should not yet be directly compared with the official Australian fuel consumption figures for the current Tucson because different testing procedures can produce different results.
Australian fuel economy figures for the 2027 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid have not yet been confirmed.
What we do know is that Hyundai is continuing to invest heavily in hybrid technology – good news for Australian drivers looking for a family SUV that can balance performance, practicality and reduced fuel consumption.
Meet Hyundai’s New Pleos Connect Technology
The changes continue inside.
The new Tucson introduces Hyundai’s Pleos Connect multimedia system, part of a major rethink of the Tucson cabin.
A large central touchscreen takes centre stage, accompanied by a slim driver display and a more horizontal dashboard design.
Despite the increased focus on digital technology, early images also show Hyundai retaining physical controls for frequently used functions such as climate settings and audio controls.
Other overseas features revealed include dual wireless phone charging and a redesigned steering wheel, although Australian specifications remain to be confirmed.
What Is the Hyundai Tucson XRT?
Hyundai has also revealed a Tucson XRT overseas.
The XRT gives the new Tucson an even tougher appearance, with unique exterior details designed to emphasise the SUV’s adventurous side.
Whether the Tucson XRT will be offered in Australia has not yet been announced, but it is certainly one variant the team at Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee will be watching closely.
Likewise, Hyundai has not yet confirmed whether an N Line package will form part of the next Australian Tucson range.
When Will the 2027 Hyundai Tucson Arrive in Australia?
That remains the big question.
The new Tucson is scheduled to begin its international rollout following its Korean launch, with overseas markets expected to follow during 2027. Hyundai Australia has not yet announced an official Australian release date or local model line-up.
Drive has reported that an Australian arrival around April or May 2027 may be possible, subject to production and launch timing.
Until Hyundai Australia makes an official announcement, however, Australian specifications, pricing, variants and arrival dates should all be considered unconfirmed.
What Could the New Tucson Mean for Australian SUV Buyers?
The medium SUV market is one of the most competitive vehicle segments in Australia, and the next-generation Tucson is shaping up to be a significant step forward.
With a stronger hybrid system, increased dimensions, more cabin space and a completely redesigned interior and exterior, Hyundai appears to be positioning the new Tucson as an even stronger alternative for buyers considering vehicles such as the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Kia Sportage Hybrid, Honda CR-V e and other electrified family SUVs.
For Tynan Hyundai customers, it also continues a rapid expansion of Hyundai’s hybrid offering across models including the KONA Hybrid, SANTA FE Hybrid, PALISADE Hybrid and the current TUCSON Hybrid.
