2025 Hyundai Tucson Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Amazing car for $
Traded my BMW X3 after being blown away during test drive. Comes with more tech, leather, is quieter and rides better than X3 for at least $10k less. Hyundai has learned a lot from Genesis and it shows with Hybrid Tucson. Also getting around 33mpg combined with hybrid and saving $20 per fill up compared to premium gas with X3.

MY TERMINAL CAR, 24TH OVER 63 YEARS DRIVING
I have 600 miles on this beauty. Best color ever: cashmere bronze. Super loaded with 17 high tech features I had never had before. My wife chose this over RAV4; we both disliked the tall protrusion over the dash of Toyota's touch screen. Full auto wipers with defrost, cameras all around, dynamic cruise control. Lane assist is almost robotic steering. I flew jets for Navy, but this purchase was difficult due to features, my age 78, and all the new technology. I think it will take me about 3 months to learn the car. 5 Owners manuals covering 1,000 pages that I am going through. Very safe car that is a moving computer.

Dashboard controls needs more fixes.
We love love love our 2025 Tuscon hybrid. BUT - We had read the Hyundai was going back to more dials on the dashboard controls, but it needs to make more. 1. It's hard to change the AC fan speed when driving. There are two fan touch buttons, hard to see. Go to a single knob. 2. When you put the blinker on and a car is in the blind spot, the steering wheel vibrates and makes an ugly noise. Fine. But when you want to change lanes in dense traffic, it is safer to put your blinker on so someone slows down to let you in. The noise/vibration is on the whole time. In busy city traffic this need to change lanes happens a lot. One solution is to time-limit the noise/vibration - you've been put on notice. It also happens when you see a space to move into and one car is even with your side view mirror - you want to signal right away but you hesitate because you'll trigger the noise/vibration. I don't want to turn the signal off because it's a great safety device. 3. The infotainment system offers you ambient sounds. But there are musical tones that sound like warning sounds from the car. 4. On the right side of the steering wheel there are two items to change the music track and the volume. One is a cylinder (volume). You push up, volume increases. There's a toggle for the track - you push up, and you get the previous track. It makes more sense to have them move in the same direction - more volume and newer track should be in the same direction. 5. There's a beep notice for "driver attention."and you get a suggestion to go get a coffee. On our first trip, on I-95, there was a strong cross-wind, nudging cars sideways. I was fighting the wind and kept getting the driver-attention notice. I would never find the notice useful. But how to turn it off? Various user forums had the same issue. Many said it was impossible. We took it to the dealer. They had a hard time figuring out how to turn it off. The manual should tell you the steps. In fact the car should come with the notice off - it's not useful unless you're tired and/or driving a long distance at night. 6. The best thing on the dash is the car outline that shows red spots when a car is in your blind spot. But on that mode you can't see the gas mileage. 7. There is a setting to change the sound volume automatically when you are at noisier speeds. I don't notice a difference. I think the main problem is that it's set to the speed you're driving. Another big factor is fan noise. I would modify the algorithm to factor in fan speed. Example: you're in the city driving 25 MPH but the fan is on a higher speed. You can barely hear the music. Options: 1. Consider offering a two toned car, like the Mini-Coopers. 2. Take a survey on sun roof usage. I know very few people who ever use it. I assume it's more costly because of the labor to install, but IDK - maybe you save money using less steel. 3. You need to reconsider colors. They're all dull, except for the red which is too bright and looks like a house on fire. . Maybe offer a maroon car. Or something with a gold-ivory-tan tone. The dark blue that we bought looks black except in bright sunlight. If you're going to do a blue, do one that looks blue - not the flashy blue you see on cheap cars but just a navy blue. The gray is gloomy.

Miserable gas mileage
Purchased a 2025 Hyundai Tucson hybrid in November 2024. The advertised mileage was 36/37, but after six months of driving we’re getting 26/27 and I’m not a fast driver. That and there are several design problems - the start button is hidden behind the steering wheel, the rear turn signals are a foot off the ground, if we push the button on the rear hatch to close it we have to wait until it’s fully closed before we can get in the car. Otherwise it opens up again and we can’t close it using the button inside the car. Extremely annoying when you’re standing in pouring rain waiting for the hatch to close. We traded in our Subaru Outback, which we loved, and paid extra for this hybrid in order to get better gas mileage. The non-hybrid Outback got better mileage, I’d never buy another Hyundai again.
Quirky
Rented a ‘25 Tucson. Nice exterior and smooth ride. The information panel is too close to the a/c vent, brush it with your hand and the radio comes on. The speedometer is hard to see through the steering wheel. Lots of road noise.
