CarTell take

We haven't driven the Tucson yet. On paper, the 2.0L NA entry is starting to feel breathless against turbocharged rivals at the price. Step up to the 1.6T or HEV unless budget forces the base car.

Why consider it

  • The 2025 facelift finally retired the haptic-button dash for a clean dual 12.3-inch curved display lifted from the Santa Fe.
  • 582 L boot is segment-leading, and the hybrid hits a 5.3 L/100 km claim.

What to know

  • Hybrid is only available on N Line and Premium grades, not on the entry Tucson.
  • The Premium N Line Hybrid also pushes close to $60k plus on-roads, into Santa Fe Hybrid territory.

Who it suits

Mainstream medium SUV buyers who want a hybrid drivetrain, the new dual 12.3-inch curved display, and a 7-year warranty. N Line FWD turbo is the value sweet spot if hybrid is not the priority.
