Hyundai’s next-generation Tucson has been snapped again, with spy photographers capturing the mid-size SUV in a state of further undress. Hyundai’s vice president of styling, Sangyup Lee, has said the new Tucson will make you “freak out” as it’s even more visually stimulating than the 2020 Sonata. Even wearing less camouflage, it’s not clear just how the new Tucson will agitate you so, though it’s arguably a handsome evolution of Hyundai’s mid-size SUV.

UPDATE: The latest local launch times for the XC40 Recharge EV and plug-in hybrid have been added to the bottom of this article. The Volvo XC40 Recharge, the company's first electric car, was unveiled overnight. Based on the standard XC40 and its Compact Modular Architecture, there's little to visually differentiate the all-electric Recharge from those with an internal combustion engine.

A disguised prototype of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 has been photographed doing laps of the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The front bumper features disguise tape and a few false panels underneath, suggesting there'll be tweaks to the design, especially around the fog light surround. The front bumper appears more aggressive, with wider air intakes on its outer edge.

No, that's not the concept. Lexus has been snapped shooting a commercial for its upcoming 2020 LC Convertible, and looks just as show-stopping as we'd hoped. Set for reveal at the Tokyo motor show, the LC Convertible is exactly what you'd expect – a drop-top version of the LC500 coupe, with power (hopefully) from a free-revving Yamaha V8 and/or the LC500h's V6 hybrid system.
