Updated with new spy pictures caught at the Hyundai-Kia Technical Centre in Germany

Judging from these images, Hyundai is already working on what will be the Tucson facelift. Based on what we can see in these images, the refreshed ix35 (this is how it is known in many other markets) includes new front grille suspiciously similar to his latest models, like the i30 or the most recent Santa Fe.

For now, we do not know if the korean automaker will include new engine or merely updates the currents. The current model sold in the U.S with two petrol engines (2.0 and 2.4 four-cylinder with 165 and 176hp), while in Europe are available with three diesel engines (1.7 with 115hp and 2.0 CRDi with 136 and 184hp) and the gasoline direct injection (GDi) 1.6-liter, with 140hp. See the complete gallery.
