2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON UNVEILED AT THE NEW YORK AUTO SHOW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson receives a significant mid-cycle refresh, unveiled at the New York Auto Show. The reviewer highlights the updated exterior styling, noting a cleaner and more aggressive front-end design with revised lighting. Inside, the most substantial changes are evident, with the elimination of capacitive touch controls in favor of physical knobs and buttons for climate and audio, a move praised by the reviewer. The interior also boasts larger dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a new steering wheel design. Powertrain options include a standard 2.5L engine, a 1.6L hybrid (231 hp), and a 1.6L plug-in hybrid (268 hp), all available with front or all-wheel drive. The 'Inline' trim, while not a full performance model, offers an appearance package with black accents and unique interior touches. Cargo space is noted as generous, exceeding that of a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for the updated interior ergonomics and the overall value proposition of the Tucson, particularly in the Inline and Limited trims.
