The new 2017 Hyundai Genesis comes with an impressive list of standard features, a quality interior, overall refinement, and an improved performance. Some of the highlights for 2017 include a long warranty coverage, an exceptional value, excellent crash test scores, a hushed cabin, and a high-quality and spacious cabin. Its release date should be expected in September this year.

For 2017, buyers should look forward to LED daytime running lights, HID headlights, LED foglights, and mild exterior tweaks.

Lots of standard features and a strong value might be what endeared many people to the Genesis in the past in comparison to Japanese and German rivals. This is also true for 2017, the vehicle offers a long list of standard features and, as you’d expect, a strong value.

However, nowadays, the Genesis has evolved into something more appealing. It comes with a well-appointed cabin, a refined ride, and a clean styling among others that give the German and Japanese rivals a run for their money.

You might not be wowed by its character, however, you will be pleasantly surprised by its accommodating and spacious cabin, and elegant interior layout. The only unfortunate thing that stands out from the list of its downsides is the surprisingly limited rear-seat headroom.

Under the hood of the vehicle is a variety of V6 and V8 engines that offer a strong and smooth ride, although, the fuel consumption ratings are lackluster. The two engines send the output to the RWD via the default eight-speed automatic transmission system.

Although no vehicle today offers the power, size, interior quality, the level of equipment, and sheer presence for the money as compared to the 2017 Genesis, paying more bucks can definitely offer you better alternatives.

Some of the Genesis bogeys include the 2017 Cadillac CTS, 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, 2017 Lexus GS 350, and the 2017 BMW 5 Series.

The vehicle was released back then and showcased at the Geneva Auto Show. This forthcoming model is going to continue the line of vehicles that are going under the Tucson banner. We are confident that the details that have been released so far will make this car a fairly good one.

There are scarce details about the release date although many details about the car are already familiar. The vehicle will add some much needed changes. These are not going to change things so much but will give a nice refresh to the brand which needed some pampering. All in all, the updated version and the 2019 Hyundai Tucson is going to be available for next year. Even though the number in front of the name says 2019, expect to get the car by the end of 2018.

What Price can we Expect for the 2019 Hyundai Tucson?

Generally speaking, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson is not going to go beyond the current price so much. With this vehicle you are getting all the perks as the previous one. But you will add some much needed updates that will keep it afloat. In fact, we are liking this car even more by the second. The base price will be somewhere around $22,700 as a base MSRP. It will depend at which trim version you are looking at but the vehicle will not go too much beyond the limit of some of the established models.

It will also depend on the powertrain choice as that too can affect the price in a big way. You can expect all of the previous trim versions to make a comeback and be featured against.

Latest Rumors about the 2019 Hyundai Tucson

There were a ton of rumors with the 2019 Hyundai Tucson’s entrance on the scene. First and foremost, most of the people were regarding this as a much bigger updated. Much of the people were expecting to see a lot of changes for the car. This includes them going as far as to state that the Tucson was supposed to get a new generation model. But the new generation vehicle seems implausible for the moment.

First of all, the current third-generation is fairly fresh so it would be illogical for them to change the car now and introduce an entirely new one. It has already proven to be stable and shows a lot of commitment that a lot of the other rivaling cars don’t. Thus the real through is that this is a minor refresh. An update which will not change the car significantly but will help it change just enough in order to be a competitive and stable car on the market.

The hexagonal grill with vertical slats is still there and the front fascia has adopted an interesting and an upright look. The lower apron has horizontally orientated surrounds added, while the LED headlights are wider compared to before.

If you look at the profile, the changes made to the previous car will be kept. This includes the A-pillars that have been positioned a bit towards the back. But now, a sharply rising accent line has been added that runs the course from the front wheel arch and goes all the way to the taillights. It makes it look much more interesting compared to before and seemingly gives it a modern look.

The back end has arguably gone through the least amount of changes. The 2019 Hyundai Tucson keeps the slim taillights and the lower bumper from the last time. This Tucson is a car which has already adopted a more serious theme. The newest SUV is small but is very stable and makes it a very interesting and sharp car to have.
