The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is equipped with enhanced hybrid power and an innovative Baby Mode [UPDATE].
Hyundai has recently unveiled the specifications of the upcoming Tucson model, specifically designed for the North American market. The exterior and interior design, as well as the features, remain consistent with the global model. However, notable enhancements have been made to the hybrid and plug-in hybrid trims, resulting in increased power and performance.
The turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine remains unchanged in both models, however, the standard hybrid now produces a combined 231 horsepower due to a slight increase in power from its electric motor. This marks a 6-hp boost from the previous year, while the Tucson Plug-In Hybrid gains an additional 7 horsepower for a total combined output of 268 hp. The 2025 package includes driver-adjustable levels for regenerative braking.
Hyundai's naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine, producing 187 hp, continues to power the standard combustion models. These models are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which can drive either the front wheels or all four wheels. On the other hand, the hybrid models come with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). To cater to passengers who are sensitive to motion, Hyundai has introduced Baby Mode in the drive modes of the hybrids. This feature ensures a smoother initial acceleration and minimizes any abrupt driver inputs, resulting in a more comfortable trip to the store.
The pricing for each trim level of the 2025 Tucson will be revealed as we approach its release date later this year.
The Hyundai Tucson, which is currently in its fourth generation, has been available in the US since 2020. However, it appears that the compact SUV will be receiving a facelift for the 2025 model year. While the exterior may appear similar, there have been some notable alterations to the front grille and skid plates, giving the Tucson a wider appearance.
The cabin appears to be designed for a future model with a revamped dashboard. Similar to the Ioniq 5, the Tucson features dual 12.3-inch displays housed together, and the Hyundai emblem on the steering wheel has been substituted with four dots, representing the letter "H" in Morse code.
The inside gives the impression of being part of a next-generation vehicle due to the complete overhaul of the dashboard. Just like the Ioniq 5, the Tucson integrates two 12.3-inch screens in the same unit, and the Hyundai logo on the steering wheel has been swapped for four dots, symbolizing the letter "H" in Morse code.
The climate control system has been redesigned, featuring a more user-friendly interface with a variety of controls. In addition to traditional buttons, there are now rotary knobs with integrated screens for the air conditioning, as well as silver knobs for adjusting volume and other settings. The central air vents have also been updated to be sleeker and more streamlined, creating a seamless look across the dashboard.
As we continue to examine the dashboard, we uncover more and more alterations. One noticeable change is the relocation of the gear selector to the steering wheel column. This adjustment has enabled Hyundai to reimagine the center console by incorporating a spacious wireless charging pad, two sizable cup holders, and a row of buttons positioned in front of them. Judging by the premium stitching on the door cards and dashboard, as well as the perforated leather on the seats, it is evident that we are observing a top-of-the-line variant.
Hyundai has chosen to keep the rest under wraps for now. Despite the fact that the 2024 Tucson has already been introduced in the United States, this particular upgrade will not be available until the 2025 model year.
