The 2025 Hyundai Tucson offers a more commanding front and rear appearance, updated lighting signatures, new alloy wheel designs and a significantly redesigned interior. New and enhanced driver comfort, convenience and safety technologies have also been added.
“The refreshed 2025 Tucson SUV expands the appeal of our full-spectrum eco-powertrain approach, offering internal combustion, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid models in a popular compact SUV design. With all-wheel drive offered on gas and hybrid models, customers can enjoy all-road, all-weather capability coupled with outstanding efficiency and an attractive variety of trims, including outdoor-focused XRT and sporty N Line models.” ~ José Muñoz, president and global COO, Hyundai Motor Company and president and CEO of Hyundai Motor North America.
The 2025 Tucson can be equipped with a high-efficiency Smartstream™ 2.5-liter, direct-injected and multi-port-injected gasoline engine or available 1.6-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The model we at RPM News Weekly tested came with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine providing a rated 187 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. It’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 Tucson’s interior reveals the most significant updates, incorporating a redesigned panoramic curved display that integrates an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an enlarged 12.3-inch infotainment display. The redesigned center stack has added supplementary knobs and switchgear for frequently used driver controls including audio volume and tuning, along with select HVAC controls. The center console, steering wheel and door panel accents have also been redesigned for enhanced usability and appeal.
On premium models with shift-by-wire function, the transmission is now controlled by a column-mounted gear selector, liberating more usable space in the center console area. For front-seat passengers, a new dashboard tray located above the glovebox adds even more storage space.
The integrated memory system on the Limited we drove includes both power driver’s seat and outside mirror settings. Also, front passengers now have access to USB-C data and charging ports with improved 27-watt charging capability. Rear passengers also receive standard USB-C charging ports.
For 2025, Wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® integration are now standard on all Tucson models. The Limited featured the new 12-inch color Head-Up Display (HUD) with premium graphics which displays turn-by-turn directions via CarPlay® and Android Auto™ utilizing the onboard navigation system.
