2010 Hyundai Tucson – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nHyundai<\/a>‘s second big unveiling for the LA Auto Show<\/a> is its next-generation Tucson<\/a>, its compact crossover. Like the Sonata<\/a> sedan, we’ve actually already seen the Tucson for some time now, as it previously debuted South Korea and Europe badged as the ix35 or Tucson ix. We actually first saw this shape as the ix-onic concept at Geneva last March<\/a> and the production model is only mildly toned down.<\/p>\n

Even toned down, though, this is a major departure from the outgoing Tucson. Like the Sonata, that model was a competent but utterly invisible CUV. The new Tucson was created by Hyundai’s Frankfurt-based European design studio and features the same “Fluidic Sculpture” surface language used on the Sonata. Like the sedan, the look is attractive, if not entirely original, as the form seems to draw quite a bit inspiration from the Nissan Murano, especially in the rear. Either way, with its bulging fenders and a multitude of curves and creases, the new style is likely to draw a lot more second glances than its predecessor. Wherever the ideas came from, the Tucson appears to be well-executed overall. Follow the jump<\/a> to learn more Hyundai’s latest CUV.<\/p>\n
