There is also availability of one lower-spec model for the SUV at Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM). The images we have posted here are for the Elegance model only. Still, this glimpse should give a good idea of what to expect from the future inevitably coming to Malaysia.

The front of the All-New Tucson is dominated by the radiator front grille, which connects with the LED headlamps to create a distinctive face. The front bumper features a wing-shaped appearance, which incorporates the LED daytime running lights, giving the car a unique style and provides a visual reference to its wide track.
