2025 Hyundai Tucson review

The new look is nothing short of dramatic as the Tucson gets a makeover. From the curb, 2025 Tucsons are bolder and more distinctive. Cabin changes are even more obvious with an airy design that incorporates high tech tools while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for the SUV’s human inhabitants.

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson maintains its spaciousness even with the hybrid powertrain. It doesn’t lose much when extra equipment is added for the plug in hybrid powertrain.

As you can see from these figures, the Tucson Plug in Hybrid is still quite big with 105.9 cubic feet of passenger volume. It has the same headroom as the other Tucson models and maintains an ample 39.5 inches of second-row legroom.

The Tucson PHEV has a large 31.9-cu ft hold while the regular hybrid and gas editions have an even larger 38.7 cu ft. PHEV cargo area maxes out at a generous 66.3 cu ft. All other models have a dual-level adjustable floor that allows you to go for the maximum 74.8 cu ft of space.

Using high quality materials and today’s modern design techniques, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson is a step above its class. A refined fit-and-finish ensures that this beauty will last.

The Tucson seat design is meant to cushion the rider, helping to protect them from fatigue. An 8-way power chair takes care of the driver. Reclining second row seats have adjustable headrests, creating a better perch for backseat passengers.

Shoppers start out with an 8-inch touchscreen and a 4.2-inch driver screen. This high-tech pair has the modern tools you’d expect, including Bluetooth, HD Radio, Apple CArPlay, and Android Auto.

Higher gas-powered trims add the 10.25 touchscreen that is standard on most HEVs and all PHEVs. This is paired with a digital instrument panel, stretching more than 20 inches of display space from left to center on the dashboard. This system is faster and easier with the best human-machine interface. Plus it has navigation and traffic features.

Hyundai includes complimentary subscriptions to important connectivity tools such as BlueLink Services and BlueLink Guidance. For the most awesome sound, the Limited edition has a Bose audio system.

Since the Tucson PHEV has extra horsepower, it has the fastest engine in the lineup. However, the Tucson Hybrid is quite speedy. It shares the same level of torque with the PHEV.

This thrust is automatic since it comes from the electric motors. You have to drive the HEV or PHEV to know how much more fun it is to take one of these green machines from 0 to 60 mph.

Then there’s the savings you can realize over time by choosing a hybrid or plug in. Tucson Hybrids are predicted to save about $500 every year. Plug in Hybrids are predicted to save around $800 per year. That’s either $2500 or $4000 in a five-year span.

The Hybrid has a longer gas-powered driving range. However, PHEV models have an electric-only range of 33 miles. For many, that allows them to drive electric all day. The gas-hybrid powertrain ensures that this plug in electric vehicle can go up to 400 miles.

If you are good with front-wheel drive, you’ll find the gas models are enough for you. However, you can get HTRAC AWD as an option. Your drivetrain choice affects ground clearance, which is 7.1 inches with two-wheel drive and rises to 8.3 inches with all-wheel drive.

Gas-powered Tucsons get good fuel economy for their size. Highway mpg is 32 with a front-wheel drivetrain. With 187 horses under the hood, drivers will always feel confident.

Whether you buy the least expensive Tucson or the most expensive, you get an incredible standard suite of driver assistance. It can be summarized like this:

Emergency Autobrake: forward collision dangers, pedestrians, cyclists

Steering Assist: lane keeping, blind spot monitoring

Steering Assist/Autobrake: Junction turning

Rear Autobrake: rear cross traffic alert

Alerts: All of the above, driver inattention

Cruise Control: Standard Adaptive (Curve Control Advanced)

Semi-autonomous: Available Highway Driving Assist, Available Remote Smart Parking

Camera Monitoring: Available blind spot camera, available 360-degree camera

Adding to your peace of mind, the Tucson has the longest warranties available. This includes the 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty and the 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Now that you know more about this exciting new SUV, you are invited to schedule a test drive.
