Hyundai introduced a facelifted version for the second generation of the Tucson in 2013 for the 2014 model-year and improved both the look and the powertrains available for its compact crossover.
While the first generation of the Tucson was a mundane-looking vehicle but still dependable, the second generation came in 2009 as a big surprise for anyone thanks to its bold styling and improved features. Four years after the launch of the LM generation, the car received a facelift that brought more features and improved powertrains.
With the facelifted version, Hyundai dared more and amplified the angular look of the vehicle's headlights. In addition, there were new projector lamps and LED daytime running lights installed. The front fascia was also enhanced by a new bumper that sported enlarged foglights compared to the non-facelifted version. At the back, the change was even more visible due to the introduction of LED taillights. In addition, Hyundai installed panoramic glass as an option on the roof, together with roof rails.
At 101.9 cubic feet (2.885 liters), the Tucson offered the most spacious interior room on the market in its segment. But that didn't stop the Korean carmaker from improving it and adding more features, such as the two-stage reclining rear bench. At the front, the occupants could enjoy the illuminated cupholders. At the same time, the driver was spoiled with the pale-blue backlit of the instrument cluster. Moreover, Hyundai installed a climate control with an ionizer that could kill germs and keep the interior air fresh from outside odors.
Under the hood, the most significant upgrade was the 2.0-liter GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The Tucson was available with either a front or all-wheel drive system, depending on the options.
