The launch timeline for Hyundai’s renewed Tucson model in Türkiye is beginning to take shape. According to information shared by journalist Emre Özpeynirci, the model is targeted to go on sale in Türkiye in the first half of 2027, provided there is no change to the plans.
The new Tucson will take its place in the compact SUV segment with its updated design and hybrid engine options. The model is expected to come to Türkiye in two main versions:
- 1.6-liter Turbo 48V Mild Hybrid producing 150 horsepower
- 1.6-liter Turbo Hybrid producing 238 horsepower
The 288-horsepower plug-in hybrid version offered abroad will not be brought to Türkiye.
Why it matters
For those looking for a compact SUV in Türkiye, the main consequence of the development is that the renewed Tucson will need to be considered alongside two different hybrid-use approaches. While the mild hybrid option offers a more limited setup for transitioning to hybrid technology, the full hybrid version will be a separate choice for users seeking higher power. The fact that the plug-in hybrid option available abroad will be excluded also shows that the product range to be offered in Türkiye will be kept narrower in terms of electric driving. However, the first half of 2027 is not a confirmed sales date; because of the possibility of changes to the plans, the waiting period for consumers and the models’ final equipment structure in Türkiye remain unclear.
