Hyundai Motor Co. is counting on a redesigned Tucson compact sport-utility vehicle to get its growth back on track. A new version that is longer, wider and lower, goes on sale this month.

Through June, Tucson U.S. sales fell 7 percent to 22,634 as the brand’s deliveries rose 1.8 percent to 371,150, slower than the market, according to Autodata Corp. Hyundai sells 80 percent sedans and the market is 56 percent trucks and crossovers, said Dave Zuchowski, chief executive officer of Hyundai’s U.S. business.
