It will be completely redesigned for the first time in five years since the launch of the 4th generation in 2018. The company plans to reveal key specifications and details online on August 10.

The vehicle's exterior features a robust image with a boxy shape, a long wheelbase, and a wide tailgate that exudes a strong presence. A distinctive feature is the incorporation of an H-shaped design, reinterpreting the Hyundai emblem, applied throughout the vehicle. The 'H-Light' is a representative example, where the front connects the headlamps horizontally and lengthwise across the left and right sides.

The H-shaped design is also reflected on the front of the dashboard and the air vents. The seat patterns are inspired by the Hyundai logo, evoking the image of light radiating outward. Various features such as the panoramic curved display and the dual smartphone wireless charging, applied for the first time by Hyundai, showcase a high-tech and refined image.

The interior is generously designed for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Hyundai designed the layout emphasizing horizontal and vertical images to harmonize naturally with the exterior. A large tailgate with a terrace concept extends the sense of space and openness to the exterior. According to the company, folding down the second and third-row seats completely provides best-in-class interior space.

Another notable feature is the use of various eco-friendly materials. Materials incorporating recycled plastics were applied to the suede headliner, floor mats, and the back of the 2nd and 3rd-row seats. The crash pad and door trim covers use eco-friendly synthetic leather.
