Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2009 Hyundai Tucson's exterior design is considered conservatively sporty. It gets a new chrome grille for this year. 

  • "Along with the new front fascia, the 2009 Tucson tweaks its rear tailgate trim and adds new 16-inch alloy wheels to the SE." -- Car Gurus
  • "At least the exterior styling of the Tucson doesn't have the same awkward look that the Santa Fe has. It's more conventional, so much so that I didn't notice a single person craning to look over the new Tucsons. They sort of blend in with other SUVs." -- MSN
