The 2025 Tucson vs the 2024 Tucson

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is a popular compact SUV with several powertrains, a sporty exterior, and a user-friendly interior. For 2025, Hyundai builds on the 2024 version with refined enhancements to the powertrains and the interior and exterior design elements. You’ll still get all the quality amenities and features offered for the 2024 Tucson but with an advanced infotainment system, mood-enhancing ambient lighting, and added driver-assist features. In addition, the newer Tucson comes standard with a panoramic sunroof.

Trim Levels and Expected Price Ranges

Hyundai offers the 2025 Tucson in several trims, depending on the powertrain. When you choose the gas-powered 2025 Tucson, you have four trims, the SE, XRT, N-Line, and Limited. Hyundai offers the hybrid version in the SEL and Blue trims and the plug-in hybrid in the SEL and Limited trims. We expect this compact SUV’s price to range from an estimated $29,000 to $38,000 depending on the trim and the options available.

Futuristic Exterior Design

Hyundai designed the 2025 Tucson to represent the pinnacle of a modern SUV. The Parametric Dynamics design styles with jewel-like surface details help give this compact SUV its evocative and sleek appearance. As you look at the front of the 2025 Tucson, you’ll be impressed with the newly designed grille bracketed on either side with vertically stacked rectangular-shaped headlights.

Wide body panels over the front and rear fenders add a muscular look to this sporty compact SUV. From the back, the futuristic taillight design stands out, and the raked hatch evokes a rugged feel to the new Hyundai Tucson. We expect the 2025 exterior colors to be similar to the 2024 version with classic favorites such as Phantom Black, Shimmering Silver, or Intense Blue.

Enhanced Interior Elements

The interior upgrades shine for the 2025 Tucson. This two-row SUV has seating for up to five people, and the materials are made up of premium cloth and leather upholstery. The driver and the front-seat passenger have the comfort and convenience of integrated memory settings for their seats and outside mirror settings. In addition, the new heating and air-conditioning system adds an extra layer of interior air quality with its automatic fan ventilation system that works for a time even after it’s turned off. Choose the upper trims and enjoy the available heated steering wheel and rear seats.

You’ll have plenty of space to carry luggage, groceries, and supplies inside this modern and versatile compact SUV. With both rows of seats upright, you can get up to 41.2 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the second-row seats down, and the cargo space increases to an impressive 80.3 cubic feet of space.

Innovative Technology Features

The biggest update for the 2025 Tucson is the larger 12.3-inch touch screen that comes with a user-friendly infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and onboard navigation. Attractive optional features include a 12-inch color head-up display and fingerprint authentication that allows you to start the vehicle using your unique fingerprint instead of the remote key.

Contemporary technology features like Hyundai Pay which lets you pay for parking and fuel from the app and Hyundai Bluelink services that give you roadside services enhance the driving and 2025 Tucson ownership experience.

Thrilling Engine Options

You have three engine options for the 2025 Tucson. Under the hood of the gas-powered trims, you’ll find a Smartstream 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. For the hybrid Tucson trims, you get a 1.6-liter turbocharged paired with an electric motor for a total output of 231 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, a slight increase from the 2024 version of this hybrid powertrain. Move to the plug-in hybrid trims, and you get the same 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, but the horsepower increases to 268.

An eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive come with the gas-powered engine and the two hybrid versions pair with a six-speed automatic transmission and come standard with Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel-drive system. The selectable drive mode terrain management system has two new drive modes for 2025 called My Drive and Baby modes. The hybrid versions get the new Green Zone drive mode for eco-focused driving. In addition, the hybrid trims come with Hyundai’s e-Motion driving technology for greater driver control and confidence and enhanced driving dynamics.

Advanced Safety Features

Hyundai equips the 2025 Tucson with new driver-assist features such as forward attention warning. This system monitors the driver’s face for alertness and warns the driver if it detects drowsiness. In addition, if the system finds the driver unresponsive, this technology will safely bring the vehicle to a stop, set the emergency brake, and activate the hazard lights.

Standard driver-assist features under the Hyundai SmartSense bundle include a forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a lane mitigation system, and a parking assistance system. Tech aficionados will appreciate the new Hyundai Digital Key 2.0 which lets you operate certain systems like locking and unlocking the doors, setting climate controls, and starting and stopping the vehicle remotely.
