The 2025 Hyundai Tucson arrives with refreshed design elements, advanced technology upgrades, and an array of trims to fit various lifestyles and budgets. With its reputation for reliability and value, Hyundai continues to push forward in the compact SUV segment. Whether you’re seeking a comfortable commuter or a more eco-conscious ride, the 2025 Tucson lineup offers something for everyone.
Starting Price and Trim Levels
The base model of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson, the SE, starts at $28,355 MSRP. It comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The SE includes essential features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and advanced driver assistance systems like forward collision-avoidance assist and lane-keeping assist.
The next step up is the SEL trim, priced at $30,565 MSRP. This model adds comfort and convenience features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and Hyundai Digital Key 2.
For those wanting a little extra without jumping to the top trim, the SEL Convenience model offers a great middle ground. Starting at $34,915 MSRP, it includes a panoramic sunroof, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and Forward Attention Warning technology.
Also priced at $33,015 MSRP, the XRT trim brings a more rugged aesthetic. It features unique exterior styling elements such as black side mirrors, exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels, and H-Tex® trimmed seats with XRT badging—great for drivers who want a sportier, adventure-ready look.
At the top of the gas-powered lineup is the Limited trim, which starts at $38,645 MSRP. This luxurious option includes leather-trimmed seating, a premium Bose audio system, a memory system for the driver’s seat and mirrors, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid Options
Hyundai also offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants of the Tucson for drivers who prioritize fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance.
The Hybrid lineup starts with the Blue Hybrid at $33,465 MSRP and includes the SEL Convenience Hybrid at $36,465, the N Line Hybrid at $38,215, and the Limited Hybrid at $41,295. These models use a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine paired with an electric motor to produce a combined 231 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque.
For those looking for electric-only driving range, the Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) options include the SEL PHEV and Limited PHEV, offering even greater efficiency and potential fuel savings, especially for short daily commutes.
Interior, Technology, and Comfort
The 2025 Tucson’s cabin has received a thoughtful redesign focused on comfort and usability. A standout feature is the curved panoramic dashboard that integrates a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a matching 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. The center console has been refreshed with traditional knobs and switches for commonly used functions, responding to user feedback about previous touch-sensitive controls.
Upper trims add premium touches like a shift-by-wire column-mounted gear selector, improved cabin insulation, wireless device charging, and new USB-C charging ports for faster connectivity.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety remains a strong point in the 2025 Tucson. All trims come equipped with Hyundai’s SmartSense suite of driver-assistance features, which includes forward collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
New for 2025 is Forward Attention Warning, which uses infrared technology to monitor driver alertness, and an improved Smart Cruise Control system that can safely bring the vehicle to a stop if necessary.
A Well-Rounded SUV for Every Driver
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson continues to be a top contender in the compact SUV space, offering a versatile lineup of trims and powertrains to fit a wide range of needs and budgets.
