What's New for 2027 Hyundai Models: The All-New Tucson, Carryover SUVs and Electrified Updates

What's new for the Tucson?

Hyundai's best-selling SUV is completely redesigned for 2027. The all-new Tucson is the fifth generation.

• New design: Hyundai calls it its boldest SUV, with “Art of Steel” styling. It is longer, wider and taller than today's Tucson, per trade reports, and adds new XRT and XRT PRO versions.
• Next-generation hybrid system: trade reports say Hyundai is targeting up to 42 mpg combined for the new hybrid.
• Pleos Connect: the Tucson is the first Hyundai in the U.S. with Hyundai's new Android Automotive-based infotainment, with a high-resolution center display, a slim information display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and AI-powered voice assistance.
• Timing: Hyundai says the new Tucson launches in Korea later this year and in North America in 2027. It has not announced a U.S. date, pricing or final U.S. powertrains.

Details for the U.S. version are not final and may change. Ask us for the latest.

What's new for the Santa Fe, Palisade and other SUVs?

• Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid: the 2027 Santa Fe carries over, with a 2.5L turbocharged engine or an available 1.6L turbo hybrid and available HTRAC all-wheel drive. Hyundai lists SE, SEL, XRT, Limited and Calligraphy trims and hybrid versions of the SE, SEL, Limited and Calligraphy, with minor equipment changes. Trade reports say a Santa Fe extended-range electric model is planned for the first half of 2027.
• Palisade: Hyundai's three-row SUV carries over for 2027. Trade reports say the hybrid adds a new Calligraphy Black Ink grade.
• Kona: Hyundai's subcompact SUV carries on, and the Kona Electric returns for 2027, after skipping the 2026 model year in the U.S.
• Venue: carries over, with a new color, per trade reports.

Features vary by trim and arrive at different times. Ask us what's on the lot.

What's new for hybrids and electric vehicles?

Whether you want a hybrid, an electric vehicle or a gas engine, we can help you compare them for the way you drive. Here is what's changing:

• Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 5 N: the Ioniq 5 returns with a handful of minor equipment changes, and the high-performance Ioniq 5 N continues.
• Ioniq 9: the three-row electric SUV adds a Calligraphy Black Ink grade with gloss-black accents, and a tailgate emergency lamp becomes standard, per trade reports.
• Ioniq 6: trade reports say the standard Ioniq 6 is being discontinued in the U.S. The new high-performance Ioniq 6 N is planned for 2027 in limited quantities.
• Hybrids: the Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade, Elantra and Sonata all offer hybrid versions. See our EV Hub and hybrid models for more.

What's new for the cars and the Santa Cruz?

• Santa Cruz: the compact pickup gets a bigger lineup reshuffle than most Hyundais. H-Tex seats become standard across trims, and trade reports say the 20-inch wheels, fingerprint recognition and the Rockwood Green and Canyon Red colors are dropped.
• Sonata: carries over unchanged for 2027, in gas and hybrid versions.
• Elantra and Elantra N: Hyundai has revealed an all-new Elantra for South Korea, but has not announced U.S. changes for 2027. We'll tell you as it does.
