EVERYTHING I LIKE AND DISLIKE ABOUT THE 2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON HYBRID LIMITED

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited receives a mid-cycle refresh, bringing notable updates to its technology, interior, and design. The reviewer highlights several key positives, including the attractive updated aesthetics, a more spacious and functional interior thanks to the relocated shifter, and comfortable front seats with good thigh support. The enhanced technology suite, particularly the lifetime free Blue Link Plus, Digital Key 2.0 compatibility, responsive touch-type door handles, and the useful 360-degree camera system, are also praised. A unique like is the 12-volt reset button for jump-starting the hybrid system. The reviewer concludes that the Tucson Hybrid Limited offers excellent value for its price point, making it a competitive choice in the compact SUV segment. However, criticisms include the "wheezy" sound of the powertrain under hard acceleration, the lack of automatic climate control for the seats, the non-intuitive placement of Android Auto on the infotainment screen, an uncooled wireless charging pad that heats up phones, and the low placement of incandescent rear turn signals. The redesigned key fob is also deemed a downgrade. Despite these drawbacks, the overall verdict is positive, positioning the Tucson Hybrid Limited as a well-rounded and compelling option for buyers prioritizing value and features.
