2025 Hyundai Tucson Consumer Reviews
Pricing
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.

Hyundai Tucson Review – Honest Thoughts from an Ow
We already own a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Overall, it’s been a decent vehicle, but not without its issues. We had to bring it in due to a persistent leak the dealership couldn’t locate. What’s frustrating is that sometimes the dealership shifts the blame onto the customer, which is disappointing. These days, you practically have to document everything just to prove you're not at fault. During the service, we were given a 2025 Tucson as a loaner. Honestly, not much has changed. The main differences are an updated dashboard, a better sound system, and the addition of side bars. However, those side bars aren't ideal if you have an elderly passenger using a walker — they actually make getting in and out more difficult. The rear A/C system could use improvement, too. Overhead vents would be a smart upgrade for better airflow to the back seats. Also, if you're tall, traveling in the backseat isn’t very comfortable. Legroom is limited, and longer trips can feel cramped. Would I buy another Tucson? No, I wouldn’t.

Great so far. Smooth ride. Technology has a bit of a learning curve, but trim details are very nice.

The Hyundai Tucson is the best SUV. Spacious, handles well on the road, and great on gas.

Everything works very well. The option packages we received were great. Everything we needed plus much more. When we compared our option packages to other manufacturers, Hyundai gave you more for your buck and in our opinion when you compare $ to $. Your investment in purchasing your Tucson is more worth than anything else you were thinking of purchasing.
