EV Channels Review
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson receives a subtle yet impactful facelift, building upon its already strong foundation. The reviewer highlights the refreshed front-end styling, improved interior ergonomics with physical buttons and a column shifter, and the seamless integration of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The hybrid powertrain is praised for its smoothness and efficiency, though its significant price premium over the gasoline model makes it a harder recommendation for value-conscious buyers. Criticisms include a firm ride quality that can be jarring over imperfections and the reach required to operate the distant touchscreen and controls, which can be distracting. The reviewer also notes that the seating position doesn't lower enough for some drivers. Despite these points, the Tucson is lauded for its practicality, comfort, and Hyundai's commitment to customer feedback, making it a highly competitive offering in the compact crossover segment.
