The fourth-generation Hyundai Tucson compact sport utility vehicle has been given its first partial redesign in three years since its launch in 2020. The facelifted Tucson, which will debut in Europe in early 2024, has a slightly more modern, refined and dynamic appearance.

Its front displays thin, angular lines in the radiator grille, complemented by “parametric jewel hidden lights”, according to the carmaker. The car should arrive in Singapore in the third quarter of 2024.

Florida judge says Tesla management knew Autopilot was defective

A Florida judge has found “reasonable evidence” that Tesla chief executive Elon Musk and other managers knew the carmaker’s vehicles had a defective Autopilot system, but still allowed the cars to be driven unsafely, according to Reuters, which reported on the ruling.

Judge Reid Scott, in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, ruled last week that the plaintiff in a lawsuit over a fatal crash could proceed to trial and bring punitive damages claims against Tesla for intentional misconduct and gross negligence.

The ruling is a setback for Tesla after the company won two product liability trials in California in 2023 over the so-called Autopilot driver assistant system.

The Florida lawsuit arose out of a 2019 crash north of Miami in which a Model 3 owner drove under the trailer of an 18-wheel truck that had turned onto the road, shearing off the Tesla’s roof and killing him.
