2025 Hyundai Tucson
Price: $30.200–$41.640

Overview

Not only is the 2025 Hyundai Tucson a chic-looking choice among compact SUVs, it's also a practical one, with a more spacious cabin and cargo area than many rivals. A 187-hp four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive are standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Acceleration is leisurely but the Tucson delivers a comfortable ride. Both a hybrid and plug-in hybrid are offered; we review those models separately. Each of them provides more kick than the nonhybrid model, but no Tucson delivers the driving verve of the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-50, or Volkswagen Tiguan—all of which handle corners with more gusto. If you're more inclined to lazy commutes and quiet road trips the Tucson has you covered, especially higher-end trims that come appointed with surprisingly posh materials and feature more conveniences and tech gadgets.

What's New for 2025?

The Tucson receives a styling refresh for 2025, its fourth year on the market, that includes updates to its grille, bumpers, and wheels. Inside, the Tucson's old optional infotainment setup has been swapped for a new one that includes two displays—one for infotainment, the other for gauges—sharing a singular rectangular housing on the dashboard; entry-level models get a single 12.3-inch touchscreen and analog gauges. The steering wheel design has been tweaked and the climate control panel has been updated too.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

A 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder is standard and comes with an eight-speed automatic and either front or all-wheel drive. The Tucson offers nothing more than adequate pep for both city driving and highway passing maneuvers, so lead-footed drivers will yearn for more power. While the Tucson is no sports car, its handling is confident, its steering is reasonably crisp, and its ride is agreeable. What's most striking about the Tucson's driving demeanor is how quiet and refined it feels when cruising; it's these traits that imbue it with a sense of luxury that is rare in this class.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The EPA estimates that the Tucson should deliver as high as 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway with front-wheel drive. On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, though, a Tucson XRT delivered a disappointing 26 mpg. For more information about the Tucson's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
