2025 Hyundai Tucson

Price Range: $28,705 - $41,295

Luke Huisman | Edmunds

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is big on value. It comes with a lot of standard features for your money and is backed by a long warranty. A smooth ride and a roomy cargo area are other positive attributes. Sluggish acceleration is a downside but overall the Tucson is a solid pick for a small SUV.Read full review

Generous warranty

Part of the fourth Tucson generation introduced for 2022

Overview

The Hyundai Tucson is one of our favorite small crossovers, with the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models placing at or near the top of their respective categories. Even the gas-only version places high in our ranking of the best compact SUVs. So what will it take for a clean sweep across all three lists? The answer might lie in the refreshed 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The 2025 Tucson is an update to the daringly styled crossover that was mostly recently redesigned for the 2022 model year. Upgrades for the 2025 Tucson include freshened styling and additional tech features — all enhancements that could add up to Tucson domination of the small SUV class. Check out our Expert Rating to learn more.

Edmunds spotlight: The Tucson gets a big interior upgrade

Optional on SEL and Hybrid Blue trims and standard on the N Line and Limited is a new combined display that houses a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The screen has better graphics and supports wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration for every Tucson; previously, some Tucsons had this feature while others still required you to connect your phone with a USB cord. Other changes this year include a new steering wheel, revised interior storage spaces and a new driver drowsiness monitoring system.

Competitors to consider

There is no shortage of options to consider when shopping for a small crossover SUV. The Mazda CX-50 combines a fun-to-drive nature with a classy interior, and we expect it to offer a new hybrid powertrain for 2025. We also recommend the spacious Honda CR-V and value-packed Kia Sportage. Hyundai's updated 2025 Santa Fe is another good option if you want something a little bigger. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to learn more about where the Tucson shines and where it comes up short.

Our Verdict

Good

7.9

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7/10

How does the Tucson drive? Unfortunately the Tucson's regular gas engine struggles to get the SUV moving with authority. Around town and on the highway, it's OK to drive, but if you're in a hurry the sluggishness is apparent. The Tucson accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 10.2 seconds during our testing, making it one of the slowest crossovers we've measured in some time.

The rest of the driving experience is unremarkable. We like the easy, direct steering and the way the Tucson remains composed around corners. The transmission upshifts smoothly, but downshifts can feel abrupt and crude when you quickly mash the gas.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Tucson? The Tucson approaches luxury-level quality when it comes to comfort. It has a supple suspension that provides an excellent ride, and bumps and cracks in the road are absorbed very well. It's among the best rides in the class.

We found the front seats on our Limited trim test vehicle to be excellent. They featured plush and supportive cushions covered in nice material and provided good lateral support and power lumbar adjustments. We also appreciate the level of quiet and insulation provided while the Tucson's in motion. It keeps noise outside of the cabin out better than most rivals, and you won't strain to hold a conversation or enjoy the radio even when the wind kicks up.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? An abundance of interior space makes the Tucson's cabin a very pleasant place to be. The front seats offer plenty of room, and rear passengers will be able to stretch their legs or recline their seat. For drivers, it's easy to get in and out and find a comfortable and commanding position. A large windscreen and thin roof pillars allow for great visibility.

Previously, we weren't as keen on the Tucson's controls. Nearly every feature was controlled through the touchscreen or flat, featureless buttons. For 2025, Hyundai has added new knobs for the audio and climate systems. These are easier and less distracting to use.

Build & Price

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Tucson comes with many technology features that work quickly and feel modern at this price. First off, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard and look sharp on the 12.3-inch touchscreen. If you prefer Hyundai's native system, the navigation is easy to follow thanks to clear directions and a vivid map that work well in tandem. Another strong point is the voice activation feature, which recognizes commands well and doesn't force you to follow specific prompts as strictly as some competitors.

We also like the Tucson's set of driver aids. The blind-spot warning system is helpful and the adaptive cruise control works great in bottleneck traffic. The front and rear parking sensors will help keep you out of trouble when parking, but their incessant beeping can become tiring.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? You can toss plenty of stuff into the back of a Tucson. Its storage capacity of 38.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats is among the largest for small SUVs. Fold down the rear seats and you've got 74.8 cubic feet at your disposal. The low liftover and nice flat floor should make it easy to stack up boxes on moving day or presents during the holidays. The cabin offers decent-sized spaces throughout to hold your small items. The cupholders can hold larger water bottles.

Got small children? Installing a child's seat is as easy as reaching between the rear cushions to locate the latches. The spacious back seat should provide plenty of room for even the most bulky rear-facing seats.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? In all-wheel-drive guise, which is what we tested, the Tucson gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined (23 city/28 highway). This isn't bad, and our time behind the wheel returned similar numbers in mixed city and highway driving, indicating the rating holds up in real-world use. But the number falls short of the AWD models of the Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue. We would also hope for higher figures given the Tucson lacks much in the way of acceleration.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Tucson a good value? The Tucson's pricing is competitive for the class and generally lines up with what you'd pay for a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. But Hyundai does one-up the competition by giving you plenty of desirable features and excellent interior quality. The cabin design and materials are comfortable and interesting for the price and certainly a step above other compact crossover interiors. Hyundai's basic warranty of five years/60,000 miles and powertrain coverage of 10 years/100,000 miles also can't be beat. Overall, Tucson delivers excellent value at its price.

Wildcard

7/10

It's clear that Hyundai had fun building the Tucson — the expressive exterior design and lots of interesting tech features such as hidden headlights, innovative touchscreen menus and its remote-controlled parking system make that clear. Ultimately, though, these aspects come off as fancy icing on what is a pretty standard cake.

The Tucson is hamstrung by a sluggish engine that makes it feel like a chore to drive, and the transmission can be clunky unless driven for maximum efficiency. The Tucson stands out in a crowd, and there is a lot to like about its wealth of standard features. But it falls short of reaching fun-to-drive status in our book.

Which Tucson does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the SEL with the Convenience package. This gets you a lot of great creature comforts and the brand-new, upgraded screen complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)

Due to age and mileage, I needed to replace my wife's Mercedes R500, which has served us very well for dog hauling, long-distance family trips, and daily use over 90K miles, as well as my S430, which has been a great mile-eater but not used enough. With the nearest MB dealer 90 miles away, and the local indie mech crazy busy, changing brands was a necessity. After searching for a …
