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.

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.

Having rented a 2024 Tucson Limited Hybrid for two weeks this past summer, one thing I noticed was that the dash and center console design made my wife and I feel cramped and a bit claustrophobic. With my brand new 2025 Tucson SEL, the re-designed dash and center console are so much more open. Buttons and knobs make A/C and entertainment controls so much easier than the touch screen controls in the 2024 model. I’ve read “professional” reviews claiming that the Tucson’s 2.5-liter engine is “sluggish”, but I must respectfully disagree. The transmission was a bit awkward initially, but after some time and after driving my Tucson back and forth to work every day, I’ve learned how to apply the proper amount of gas pedal to get very peppy acceleration, even in the most challenging driving situations. Will the 2025 win any Top Fuel races? No, but it will have more than enough acceleration to safely merge with highway traffic and/or pass slower vehicles on the interstate. The digital screen does a nice job of displaying cluster and infotainment information. The display resolution is extremely good and moving between the apps is quick. Cluster info clear and concise. Ride feel is incredibly smooth and steering is very responsive. Cloth interior is very nicely done and quite comfortable. Sound-proofing is very good and wind noise is mostly nonexistent. The interior space is very roomy and it gives you the feeling that you’re in a bigger SUV. Add to that the amazing warranties that come from Hyundai and there’s really nothing to dislike. If you’re in the market for a new compact SUV, I highly recommend the Tucson.

My wife loves this car except for one major design flaw. If you leave the car for more that 5-7 days it dies. You can not unlock or start the vehicle without jumping thru a lot of hoops. So if you go n vacation and leave your car at the airport expect a super frustrating time trying to literally break into your own car to get it running again. Hyundai's answer is to start and run your car for 20-30 minutes every 4 days, hard to do if you travel. If Hyundai would fix this issue - it would get a 10 out of 10 from us. Ride, comfort, fuel economy and creature comforts are top notch.
Amazing efficiency and comfort

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.
