Hyundai Tucson is one of the best-selling SUV models in this segment in most world markets, and now the South Korean manufacturer has presented a new edition of this model. It will arrive in Europe in early 2024, when we will know the European specifications of this car.

The car retains many similarities with its predecessor but now has a new front fascia with stronger lines and parametric hidden jewel-like lights, a redesigned bumper with protective cladding creates the impression of a wider wheel track, giving the vehicle a more dynamic and powerful appearance.

The horizontal design of the interior creates a feeling of openness, practicality, functionality and aesthetics. It comes with a lot of advanced technological elements that ensure more pleasant driving enjoyment for passengers.

Tucson has been a very popular car among European customers for years, and this is also shown by the fact that in 2022 it became the best-selling car in the segment of compact SUVs. Thus, it is expected that the new edition of the Hyundai Tucson will continue on the same path.

Hyundai electric cars will use Tesla Supercharger charging stations

Tesla is the largest investor in electric vehicle infrastructure and the owner of 50,000 Supercharger charging stations that can also be used by other electric cars. After General Motors, Honda, Jaguar, Nissan and Volvo, now owners of Hyundai electric cars that have adopted the NACS charging standards can use these charging stations.

The Hyundai Group also announces that Hyundai, Kia and Genesis electric models will be equipped with NACS connectors that are compatible with Tesla charging stations, and that from 2024 they will be able to charge at them throughout North America.

By the end of next year, the Korean group claims that all models sold in North America will be equipped with NACS connectors. Also, from 2025, all other owners who already have an electric model of one of the Korean brands equipped with a CCS connection, will be able to order a special adapter, so that they can use Tesla chargers.

Tesla is the largest manufacturer of electric cars in the world and recently announced that it produced its 5 millionth car. The growth of production started three years ago when in just 18 months Tesla exceeded the production of two million vehicles, three million in just 11 months, and four million seven months later. All this was achieved thanks to the large capacities of Tesla’s factories, but also to the great demand. At the beginning of July, the company announced that it had built the first Cybertruck in Giga Texas and that it had received more than 1.9 million orders.

2024 Hyundai Sonata

At this year’s Seoul Motor Show, the South Korean automaker revealed the refreshed Hyundai Sonata. The car brings a sensational design that results in less noise and vibrations, but also a new energy distribution structure to increase protection against side collisions.

The car will be powered by three types of engines: a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated, a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine (for the N Line), as well as a 2.0-liter hybrid. Although it was announced that it will have AWD, there is no confirmation of this information from Hyundai. That could happen soon, given that the rival Kia K5 also has AWD. Also, Hyundai did not reveal the technical specifications for these three engines.

Some of the innovations are that the new Sonata can be parked by controlling it via smartphone while the driver is outside the car, and it can also be put out of park by moving forward and backward. The trunk is electronic, and the Sonata is equipped with numerous safety and auxiliary systems.

Inside, the car is equipped with a curved display with two 12.3-inch screens. There’s also a 12-inch head-up display, while over-the-air upgrades ensure the arrival of new software. For a better experience inside the car, there is a Bose sound system with 12 upgraded speakers.
