What's New for 2025?
Big news for the Tucson this year, as an exterior refresh is paired with a thoroughly revamped interior. The centerpiece is a redesigned dashboard with a panoramic curved display that houses a standard 12.3-inch infotainment screen and optionally a matching 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. Fancier models feature a relocated shift lever on the steering column, while all Tucsons are treated to wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and keyless entry/ignition.

FAST FACTS
"The Tucson Hybrid was already one of our favorites before it got a comprehensive refresh for 2025, which takes the interior tech to the next level with a widescreen infotainment module that wouldn't look out of place in a luxury car. In the engine room, we continue to appreciate that the Hyundai uses a conventional six-speed automatic, forever opting you out of the mooing and groaning that are par for the course when accelerating in CVT-equipped rivals. Speaking of acceleration, the Tucson Hybrid is one of the quickest compact hybrid SUVs you'll find, yet its efficiency is top-notch, too. The more you look into this Hyundai's offerings, the more you realize how hard it is to identify a weakness. We prefer the Mazda's confident feel in corners, but if you're more about the straight-ahead, the Tucson Hybrid could be #1 in your rankings."—Ranked #3 out of 11 Compact Hybrid SUVs
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The Tucson Hybrid is easy to recommend over its non-hybrid sibling. Sure, it starts five grand higher, but you get vastly better fuel economy and much quicker acceleration, too. Plus, all-wheel drive comes standard. Note that the most efficient Tucson Hybrid Blue trim is also the cheapest, so if you step up to the SEL Convenience, Limited or N Line trim, your fuel economy will slip to 35 mpg combined.
