THE 2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON HYBRID LIMITED IS A MORE SOPHISTICATED SUV FOR ACTIVE FAMILIES

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited receives a significant refresh, focusing on enhanced technology and a more sophisticated interior. The reviewer highlights the new dual 12.3-inch displays with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as major improvements. While the exterior styling sees only subtle evolutionary changes, the cabin benefits from upgraded materials, a new shelf for the passenger, and a welcome return of physical controls, including a volume knob. The hybrid powertrain, now producing 231 horsepower, is the quickest in its class, achieving 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds. However, the reviewer notes the six-speed automatic transmission, while providing a conventional feel, introduces turbo lag and less smooth power delivery compared to CVT-equipped rivals. Real-world fuel economy was around 37 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, slightly lower than some competitors. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Tucson Limited is praised for its spaciousness, comfortable ride, advanced technology features like ventilated seats and a 360-degree camera, and a generous rear seat and cargo area, positioning it as a top contender in the hybrid SUV segment.
