Hyundai Tucson Vs Jeep Compass Vs Volkswagen Tiguan Vs Citroen C5 Aircross: Design

Yes, the Tucson is the freshest of the pack and it does look the most modern with its signature parametric hidden DRLs. The SUV does look extremely striking from the back as well with that lightbar running the width of the car. Don't take anything away from the Jeep though as it is the pick of the range for the most rugged-looking SUV. The front does look quite imposing and it has numerous variants for you to spec out yours just that perfectly.

The Volkswagen Tiguan has an extremely clean design with not too many bold impressions going about it. The Citroen C5 would be our pick in terms of design here. It just looks a little more stylish and it shows off its curvy edges in all the appropriate places.
