Hyundai has released pricing for its 2025 Tucson compact SUV, starting at $29,750, including a $1395 destination charge.* The 2025 Tucson has an updated fascia and lighting, new alloy wheel patterns and a redesigned interior with claimed improved ergonomics. The 2025 Tucson 2.5L models arrive at U.S. dealerships in July, while 1.6L turbo hybrid and plug-in hybrid models will be available late summer.
The Tucson has a redesigned panoramic curved display that integrates an optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an enlarged 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display. A redesigned center stack includes the addition of supplementary knobs and switches for frequent-use controls including audio volume and tuning (copying a long standing Toyota and Lexus tradition). A new dashboard tray located above the glovebox adds storage space for front-seat passengers.
The 2025 Tucson comes standard with a Smartstream™ 2.5-liter, direct- and multi-port-injected gasoline engine. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder 1871 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm running on expensive premium fuel. (footnote1) The eight-speed automatic transmission mated to the standard 2.5-liter I4.
Hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains
2025 Tucson hybrid and plug-in models now offer driver-adjustable levels of regenerative braking for improved control and comfort. The Hybrid powertrain’s direct-injected 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine produces up to 178 (footnote 1) horsepower and 195lb.-ft. of torque (1). Total hybrid system output is up to 231 horsepower running on expensive premium fuel. The hybrid architecture also produces up to 258 lb.-ft. of torque (1) from a 47.7-kW electric motor (formerly 44.2 kW) and a 1.49-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Power is routed through a six-speed automatic transmission.
Plug-in hybrid models have a 1.6-liter turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder engine with a six-speed automatic and a 72.0-kW electric motor (increased from 66.9 kW). Plug-in hybrid total system output is rated at up to 268 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque(1). The Plug-In hybrid battery is larger than the hybrid pack with 13.8 kWh of lithium-ion power.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
