Hyundai is preparing to reveal its next-generation Tucson at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show.A teaser sketch accompanying the announcement shows a much more aggressive design, with a muscular form and an angular front fascia. Chrome elements help blend the larger hexagonal grille toward the swept headlamp clusters.

“Our new compact SUV will be a big step forward for the Hyundai brand globally,” said Hyundai design chief Peter Schreyer. “The All-New Tucson has a bold and athletic presence and a proud stance. Its design is characterised by flowing surfaces, bold proportions, sharp lines and most important our brand signature hexagonal grille.”

The company has not disclosed any specific details regarding the production model, such as potential new engine options or other significant changes.

The all-new Tucson is scheduled to make its formal debut on March 3.
