Well ok, you answered a couple ??, but created a new one. Waiting until '24's for either the refresh or actual 'all-new design!' seemed like the default, but the 'weird design' thing you mention semi-answers that. So since no sense waiting I can see the 'want the bigger interior' means a bigger SUV, and the bigger total hp that has to push it. But that also checks the box for 'want and the hybrid experience' as well = pretty crafty.
Now the new question is just how you know about next year's new design. I ain't looked around yet, but how can one get an advance look at this new 'weird design'? Not that I care about buying one, but it's gonna have to be a good deal 'bigger' everything as the newest Tucson pretty much matched it in many aspects (actually LARGER seats down rear payload !!). And interesting if the American market will get a 3rd row stuffed in.
