Spy Shots Show Next-Gen Hyundai Tucson With 17-Inch Pleos Screen, AI Features and Hybrid Focus

The images suggest Hyundai will load its core SUV with Pleos software to advance its shift to smarter, electrified models.

Overview

  • New interior spy photos show a large, freestanding 17-inch central touchscreen running Hyundai’s Android-based Pleos system, with reporting that it will support Gleo, a conversational AI assistant.
  • A separate digital instrument cluster of about 9.9 inches and a driver-monitoring camera atop the steering column are visible, pointing to stronger driver-assistance features.
  • The model, known internally as NX5, is widely expected to offer hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, with reports citing a plug-in variant targeting roughly 100 km electric range and a combined output above 300 bhp.
  • Cabin details include a steering-column gear selector, physical knobs and buttons for climate and volume, soft-touch trim, and more bolstered seats, changes that should make daily use simpler and more comfortable.
  • Reports also describe a boxier exterior with a clamshell hood, while an official reveal and final specifications have not been announced by Hyundai.
