It came with completely new design, which besides new styling includes new platform and plenty of mechanical parts, engine, interior etc. Since it is still very fresh, we believe that it is still early for some bigger updates. The 2018 Tucson should with the same design, same features, engines, trim levels etc. We expect its arrival late this year.
