Just hours before Hyundai Motor Company officially pulls the wraps off the fifth-generation Hyundai Tucson (codenamed NX5) tomorrow, October 21, 2026, the complete South Korean dealer price and specification sheets have leaked online. Following an earlier vehicle registration database leak that sparked widespread debate over significant price hikes, these full order guides leave nothing to the imagination.
The leaked documents—dated October 21, 2026, to match tomorrow's official launch—confirm the exact trim lineup, standard equipment, and option package pricing. They also confirm the transition to an 8-speed automatic transmission for the gasoline model, the next-generation e-Motion Drive hybrid system, and the rollout of Hyundai's Pleos Connect infotainment architecture with Gleo AI. Below is the complete breakdown of the leaked Korean price sheets (converted at current exchange rates of approximately 1,328 KRW per USD and 1,489 KRW per EUR), along with how they compare to the earlier registration leaks.
Full Price Sheet Leak vs. Earlier Registration Leak: Adjusted or Spot-On?
Earlier this month, leaked vehicle registration data suggested that the fifth-generation Tucson would suffer a steep price increase, pushing fully loaded models right up to the 50 million KRW ($37,665 USD / €33,575 EUR) threshold. Comparing these newly leaked dealer price sheets against those initial figures shows that the earlier registration leak was completely authentic for top-spec configurations, while revealing exactly how Hyundai structured the entry and mid-level trims.
Base Price Reality Check: Industry observers had noted that Hyundai needed to keep the entry-level price increase around 2.0 million KRW ($1,506 USD / €1,343 EUR), warning that a 3.0 million KRW ($2,260 USD / €2,014 EUR) jump could alienate compact SUV buyers. Compared to the outgoing 2026 Tucson—which started at 28.44 million KRW ($21,425 USD / €19,095 EUR) for the Gasoline model and 33.18 million KRW ($24,995 USD / €22,280 EUR) for the Hybrid—the new H-Pick base trim lands right on that 3.0 million KRW ($2,260 USD / €2,014 EUR) increase. The Gasoline base price increases by 2.96 million KRW ($2,230 USD / €1,988 EUR), while the Hybrid base price (after tax incentives) rises by 2.97 million KRW ($2,237 USD / €1,994 EUR).
Fully Loaded Gasoline Accuracy: The earlier database leak estimated a fully loaded 1.6T Gasoline AWD model at 45.98 million KRW ($34,635 USD / €30,875 EUR), assuming a 2.0 million KRW ($1,506 USD / €1,343 EUR) AWD option. The leaked order guide shows that Hyundai priced the upgraded HTRAC AWD + Ground View system at 2.40 million KRW ($1,808 USD / €1,612 EUR). A fully loaded Gasoline Inspiration AWD with every available option package comes out to 45.15 million KRW ($34,010 USD / €30,318 EUR).
The XRT Hybrid Prediction: The initial registration leak pointed to a fully loaded Tucson XRT Hybrid landing around 48.0 million KRW ($36,155 USD / €32,230 EUR). Taking the XRT Hybrid post-tax price of 41.65 million KRW ($31,375 USD / €27,968 EUR) from the leaked sheet and adding HTRAC AWD plus all available XRT packages brings the exact total to 48.54 million KRW ($36,565 USD / €32,595 EUR) (or 49.54 million KRW / $37,315 USD / €33,265 EUR before tax incentives), confirming the earlier tax invoice data was accurate.
The Pleos 17-Inch Screen Strategy: Addressing concerns that the new 17-inch Pleos Connect display might be restricted exclusively to the top-tier Inspiration trim, the leaked sheets confirm a more flexible approach. While the H-Pick trim comes standard with a 12.9-inch Pleos Connect screen, buyers choosing the mid-tier Exclusive or rugged XRT trims can add the 17-inch display through the Connect Plus option package.
