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 replacement for over a year, and driving 20+ cars, the best choice to meet our needs was a 2025 Tucson Hybrid. It finally arrived last week, and the 2-for-1 deal was concluded with no hassle. I'm a car guy, mostly European sports and luxury, and I have to say the the newest Hyundai Tucson is as competent as any MB, Saab or BMW I've owned at a bargain price (for what it offers). Roomy, great seats, beautiful finishes, and so far 40+ MPG. It's quieter than my S-class, as roomy as you can get in such a small footprint, and with tech and customization of features and drive modes as you can get. I hate CVT's - so the 6-speed auto (plus hybrid drive) are great. Selectable regen is a plus (although when the smallish battery is charged it shuts off). The factory tires aren't the best but they do seem to boost mileage - we'll see how they do in snow. Steering is light and precise - and road manners are excellent. Brakes are good. Visibility is excellent. The hybrid's power is good for most situations - zippy around town, and easy passes on the highway. I'm surprised at how much the car drives on electric power alone - with very smooth transition to the gas engine. The new (for 2025) dash and instrument display is elegant and works great. Climate control is solid. We'll have to see how it is after a few months and more miles, but the initial impression it makes couldn't be better.

Hybrid Power

The 1.6L engine is underpowered but with the hybrid option it gives this vehicle the horsepower to be fun to drive. The seats are very comfortable for long drives. I love the dashboard with the integrated head unit/infotainment center. I don't like vehicles that stick the infotainment screen on top of the dash like an afterthought which interferes with the windshield view. I love the heads-up display so you can keep your eyes on the road. The only negative is the plastic trim on the doors that can get scratched.

Love this car! Just a couple little issues...

First and foremost, I really love this car! I love the looks (inside and out), the tech, the ride... All great - at least so far... I got it in September 2024, it's March 2025 now and I only have 1,500 miles on it. I'm a tech guy and this car has it all! I got the top of the line Limited to get them all. So, the little issues - sort of in order of frustration 1) The Tucson has a great feature - a button to use the hybrid battery to 'jump' the regular 12V battery in case it dies. I figured I would never have to use it. Well, I've used it 4 times so far! Although I live in New England and it can get very cold, my car is always in the garage at home which does not get below 45 degrees. And this is where I had to use the button. I got an email from my car (cool right!) that said make sure I didn't leave any accessories on that may be draining my battery. After googling they say maybe the digital key could be the cause - which I had set up (you can use your phone for a key). I turned that off and so far so good - but no digital key for me! 2) The side mirrors on the Limited are not able to be folded in - lesser models have it 3) The clock for the car has more than one location depending on what screen you are on. So, you must look around for it - and on one screen setup (the one I like the most) has no clock at all. That should be a software update fix to me... 4) When going through a car was and you have to have your car in neutral, at the end when you have to put it in drive to leave, you can't put it in drive without first putting your foot on the brake - so you have to do that really quickly so the car behind you does not run into you. 5) The Tucson has some great colors, but the Limited model has limited colors - so I could not get the Tucson color I really wanted. So that's it - extremely glad I purchased this car - at least so far!

Great car. Comfortable, quiet, lots of power and it gets better fuel economy runnning around town than on the highway. One design flaw that needs to be fixed is the rear signal lights. They should be at eye level especially in winter when the snow gets caked on the back. Visibility is very poor.

I love this car. It gets great mileage and I don’t have to plug it in to regenerate the battery. It does this as I drive! I bought it because of all the safety features it has. It’s very quiet and comfortable to ride in. I highly recommend this model. .
