- The new Tucson XRT adds rugged styling with unique bumpers, skid plates, black cladding, and XRT-specific wheels.
- Hyundai has given the cabin exclusive seats, dark-metal trim, and protective floor mats for a more adventurous vibe.
- It looks trail-ready, but the XRT remains a style-focused trim rather than a hardcore off-road machine.
When Hyundai revealed the new Tucson about a month ago, it also shared an appetizer for the XRT by previewing the rugged version in a single official image. Now, the more adventurous side of the fifth-generation compact crossover is being revealed in full, and predictably, it’s a lot to take in. It builds on the regular model’s complete design overhaul and adds a sprinkle of chunky styling accents to emphasize its outdoorsy nature.
