2021 Tucson Exterior
Nothing changes for the exterior of the Tucson SUV; up front, all trims feature the signature large trapezoidal grille with its chrome surrounds and horizontal slats. That centerpiece is flanked by automatic projector headlights on the SE, Value, and SEL (with LED accent lighting included as of the Value), and LED headlights with daytime running functionality and front fog lights from the Sport trim up.
All models feature a shark fin antenna and a low-profile high-mounted rear spoiler, with black lower body cladding and window surrounds, except on the Ultimate, which gets chrome exterior trim. Black roof rails are included as of the Value. 17-inch alloy wheels are standard-fit on the SE and Value both of which also get a single exhaust outlet. The Sport rides atop 19-inch alloy wheels for a sportier spirit, while 18-inch alloy wheels prop up the SEL, Limited, and Ultimate, all of which feature dual exhaust outlets.

Total height comes in at either 64.8 or 65 inches, depending on whether the roof rails are fitted or not. Its body width of 72.8 inches makes it quite slim.

Exterior Colors
For 2021, the Hyundai Tucson receives three new hues for its exterior paint palette that replace three of the prior year's options, keeping the total selection at nine. Black Noir Pearl has been swapped out for Ash Black, Red Crimson replaces Gemstone Red, and Coliseum Gray takes the place of Sage Brown. Bringing diversity to the rest of the palette are Winter White, White Cream, Stellar Silver, Dusk Blue, Aqua Blue, and Magnetic Force Metallic. Every color is cost-inclusive and available across all trims, so you won't have to pay anything extra for the hue you want. The Tucson looks great in any of them, too, but if we had to recommend one, we'd go with the Dusk Blue.
