Hyundai’s new Tucson is bigger and higher-tech than the car it replaces, but it’ll also be more expensive.
Pricing for petrol-powered 2021 Hyundai Tucson models has been revealed on the Hyundai Australia website.
The starting price of $34,500 before on-road costs is up $2360 on the outgoing model, while the range-topping Highlander starts at $46,000 before on-roads and stretches to $52,000 with a turbo-diesel engine.
Hyundai Tucson 2.0-litre petrol models are hitting dealers now, with 1.6-litre turbo petrol models coming later in the second quarter of 2021 while 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and N Line variants arriving during quarter three of 2021.
Update, 30/04/21 11:00am: Hyundai has released full details of the 2021 Tucson. We’ve updated our story with a full price list and new images.

All prices exclude on-road costs.
The base model will offer only a naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 115kW of power and 192Nm of torque.
The Elite and Highlander will also offer the option of aturbocharged 1.6-litre petrol (132kW/265Nm) four-cylinder engine at launch, with a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel (137kW/416Nm) model to follow.
Only the 2.0-litre petrol models have front-wheel drive, with the rest of the range using all-wheel drive.
A six-speed torque-converter automatic is standard on the 2.0-litre petrol.
There’s an eight-speed automatic in the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, and a seven-speed dual-clutch auto is used in the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol.
Claimed fuel economy for the 2.0-litre model is 8.1L/100km on the combined cycle.
The 1.6-litre engine uses a claimed 7.2L/100km.
Both models have a 54L fuel tank.
The new Hyundai Tucson measures up at 4630mm long, 1865mm wide, and 1665mm tall with a 2755mm wheelbase.
