The X3 is BMWs cheap masses SUV. It's like a Mercedes CLA for the sedan world. The Tuscan isn't nearly as decent, as the 'Toyoda' Rav4. The Rav4 being more expensive. You also own or lease a Hyundai. MPG has gone down in 2025? Rhetorical. I feel he's already done this video. Oh, 2025.....what a huge sarcatic difference. The RAV4 Prime, should have way better buy now. 'Toyoda' getting "American" lazy in the last 6 years. Old Lexuses are better quality and not as much cost cutting. Beyond that SUVs should be banned from the road, cars in general have gone up tremendously. I'd lease the Tuscan and abuse the hell out of it and return it for another one. 231hp is not enough for a vehicle of this size and weight. 35/36mpg isn't great and all of these vehicles give you a small gasoline tank. It doesn't have to be a Mercedss 21.1 gallon tank on a V6 engine. That gets 570 miles of range and about 24mpg in a 4700lb vehicle. 4 cylinders saved about 3MPG and put tremendous strain on the engines and lowered cost/weight. This Tuscan should be at least 270hp and get 45mpg plus by now. All this on a cheap plastic X3 comment? Yes. This refresh is just Hyundai saying, we made it a bit cheap, let's add some bits of luxury to make it heavier. It's also more expensive than the 2024. I could do that, by charging more. No pun. They took a Tuscan and made it for all 3 models. Plug in, Petroleum and Hybrid. This is the limited version. It's a 43K Hyundai. Have him test the base model. Sad. A manual steering adjust? High interior value. Should have a 100 dollar mirror camera.
I just bought a 2025 Tucson Hybrid Limited and absolutely love it. I am so impressed with how dead QUIET it is inside the cabin when driving even at high speeds. We carry on soft conversations from the front to the back seat, and can hear perfectly. Quietest vehicle I’ve ever been in due to the acoustic glass paneling on the limited trim.
Is there any hesitation mentioned in the review? Overall, how would you rate your driving experience, particularly when driving on a freeway and passing other vehicles using instant torque?
My friend bought this specific trim and hybrid powertrain and he really loves the car. Hyundai has really elevated the Tucson since this generation came out. I’ve always chosen the RAV4 in this compact segment but the Tucson really gives the RAV4 and CR-V a run for its money for sure. Well done Hyundai~
Very happy that it's a regular 6 speed transmission with no wet dual clutch. So many issues with that transmission. p.s. as someone who has a Rouge, the CVT is an issue. Would rather have a regular transmission. I'm willing to give up a few mpg for a regular driving experience.
6.7 seconds 0-60 is mad impressive given no brake torqueing at all. If they put this exact hybrid setup in the elantra or K4, it would easily give the civic a run for its money.
It's Truly amazing that, other than in the intro, he never commented on the Limited trim's HUD (even during the driving segment). To my knowledge, this is (currently) the only Hybrid SUV in its class to offer that feature. BTW, in addition to the amazing amount of (selectable) content which can be displayed in the HUD, it is a wonderful feature to have because it will highlight any cars in either/both blind spots; my wife would no longer consider any car which lacks this technology. This is especially important for those drivers who are nervous taking their eyes off the road to look in the side view mirrors for blind spot monitoring or who don't want to be jarred by the Tucson's loud audible warning system if a lane change is signaled with a car in that side's blind spot. Additionally, he failed to correctly mention that the paddle shifters actually control the levels of regenerative braking (except when in SPORT mode, where they manually control the transmission), which can extend the hybrid battery's capability. Lastly, considering that this is a VERY recent video, he made several conjectures about the upcoming refresh of the 2026 Kia Sportage (expected in the US in June or July). This vehicle was shown at the recent L.A. Auto show and will offer the same technology and upgraded Hybrid battery pack (with a bump in HP/torque) as the Tucson, including the HUD in the top trim (Prestige). Those two "sister" cars will be almost identical, other than the function/location of the transmission selectors and more usable in cabin storage for the driver & front passenger area in the Tucson. Also, it's been reported that the 2026 Sportage (Limited trim only??) will have acoustic (laminated) glass in BOTH rows, as opposed to the Tucson only having acoustic glass in the front row (it's still a VERY quiet performer). FWIW, I recently traded my wife's 2022 ICE Santa Fe (Calligraphy trim) for the 2025 Tucson Hybrid (Limited trim) and she's thrilled with the new car; she has previously driven the Santa Fe models for the past 10 years. In order to obtain the HUD, I'll be moving from the 2023 Kia Sorento PHEV to either the 2025 Tucson PHEV or 2026 Kia Sportage PHEV as soon as my current lease ends in a few months. We love the Hyundai/Kia products and, honestly, don't currently consider any other car manufacturers.
I bought a 2023 Limited Hybrid last year, because I wanted a hybrid SUV with more refinement than Toyota's Rav4. That's exactly what I got. Highly recommended.
Drove a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Plug In (Limited) for many months and traded for 2024 Rav4 Prime. Hyundai was far too dependent on the gas engine and didn't know what combo of powertrain it wanted to use when you stepped on gas. Was very clunky with the EV gear shifts and mpgs really suffered in cold weather. Rav4 better in basically every way. Powertrain way smoother. Vehicle WAY faster. Engine doesn't come on when you don't want it to. Getting about 10 mpgs better on average with Rav (63 mpgs over 8,000 miles of 50/50 city/hwy driving). Also paid slightly less for Rav4 than the Hyundai and got the absolutely loaded version with Premium Package. Only way Hyundai is better I would say is their AWD setup is better with a mechanical connex between axles and infotainment is slightly easier to use (but took about 4 months for me to get the car connected to my Hyundai Bluelink account and customer service was rough there also). Cameras may be slightly better. I like the fake leather in the Toyota better than the real leather in the Hyundai. Hyundai drivers seat leather was coming off the foam after just a few months of ownership. Hyundai service absolutely SUCKS around Boston with a 6-8 week wait just to get basic service like a tire rotation (that was the case with like 5 dealers I checked with). And look at the Hyundai hybrid depreciation, it is WILD. Lose like $10k or more in a year, prob $25k in 3 years.
@@802asher People only buy Toyotas because of an old reputation. They suck they make the worst interiors in the entire auto industry, I also fall asleep looking at them they design the most yawn inducing vehicles on the market 🤣.
Old reputation? Clearly you didn’t read about my experience with Hyundai service! What good is a 100k warranty if you have to wait a YEAR to get warranty service while all the while your car is decommissioned. Go to any Hyundai dealership and you will find multiple cars awaiting new engines. You will NEVER find that at a Toyota dealership one because their engines don’t fail and in the 1/1000 chance they do, Toyota takes care of you. Hyundai is the Recall King I’m afraid. 3 million here, 1 million there!
@@802asheryeah I’ve heard horror stories of Hyundai and Kia service when it comes to warranty, they sound very picky when it comes to their “Americas best warranty”. Currently own a 23 Kia Niro hybrid, no issues with it thankfully other than a squirrel or rodent crawling into my engine bay and chewing through AC wiring so my AC didn’t work at one point, fairly cheap and quick fix (around $200) and my insurance ended up covering it. Gonna be going to a Honda Passport when the new model comes out, they still use a tried and true naturally aspirated V6 and I think an 8 speed auto.
I tell you manufacturers just can’t win with testers. Give them a 6 speed transmission and they want a CVT. Give them a CVT and they complain how terrible it is!!
Great review. I recently purchased that exact vehicle and absolutely love it. It has every imaginable feature I need/want except it's missing a sunglasses holder and a digital rear view mirror. I find it's extremely quiet and smooth. It's often difficult to tell the difference between the EV and ICE motor, and the transitions are very smooth. Personally I like the fact that it's a traditional transmission - it works perfectly, without the droning/endless revving of a CVT.
22:45 I think car journalists (not just you) get this very wrong. You also hear journalists say stuff like "SUV buyers don't care for how it drives..." etc. _People do care!!!_ We care if a car drives well, if it feels like a traditional automatic vs. CVT, how the steering feels, how it handles bumps mid-corner, etc. Why would people stop caring for an SUV? Remember that the only reason most people buy SUV's is because they're forced to. I.e. they had kids and while the Accord is big, it doesn't have room for a large stroller + Costco run groceries in the trunk and it doesn't have AWD. Their only option is a CR-V because Honda killed the Accord Crosstour. Car seats are also way bigger today than they used to be, so back seats need even more room. Nowadays most people don't have money for two cars either, so the "fun weekend car" is dead too. People just can't afford to get a crappy daily SUV and also own (and insure) a fun sports car for weekends only. People who care about driving have to get an SUV that does everything _AND_ drives well. The same goes for hybrids too. Why the hell can't we have fun-to-drive hybrids? Why can't someone who enjoys driving also care about fuel efficiency, global warming, and saving money on gas? Saying that "hybrid buyers don't care how a car drives" is lazy, decades-old thinking. That may have been true of the first generation Prius, but not anymore. In fact, that statement just gives a pass for auto makers to make boring, terrible hybrids. TL;DR: someone who cares about driving dynamics is forced to buy an SUV because family wagons are dead, but they still care how it drives! Saying "SUV/hybrid buyers don't care about [whatever]" is just lazy journalism.
Its a generalization bub. You care, but you and I are the only two. Again a generalization, but a cumbersome way to communication when you have to stops and say "in my opinion", after every proclamation. Whose else would it be?
Hyundai showcases its strategic acumen by effectively utilizing extensive databases and customer feedback to cater to consumer preferences, which is a key reason for their decision to avoid CVTs. Additionally, it is impressive that Hyundai has adjusted its pricing to be competitive, as they were previously positioned about 5-10% lower than rivals while delivering superior technology and features within their segment.
I’ve had this vehicle for a few years. With the turbo lag, it can be minimized by choosing Sport Mode or the Smart mode in the original design. Eco mode accentuates turbo lag in my experience. It also helps to know some basics about turbo engines. Just don’t try to punch it on a cold engine. If I’m preparing to pass or gun it from a stop I make sure I’m in the right mode.
I bought one last year. Mileage greatly improves when you use less a/c and drive carefully I easily get 37 without running a lot of a/c. This is a much better design and interior then CRV (I’ve had 2). It’s QUIET and I had a Murano with CVT and disagree with you: the peppiness of the hybrid and 6spd are worth a couple of MPG. Totally happy with my choice not an ounce of trouble either.
I’m considering a Tucson hybrid as my next vehicle and I’d say I prefer the conventional automatic transmission… the MPG increase is good enough for me over the ICE.
All down to personal choice but I'm loving my 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Ultimate. Heads up display is pretty awesome as is the reclining heated rear seats , such luxury. New auto column gearchange a game changer and love the drivers seat dropping when door opens for easier access and the memory when entering putting you right back where you need to be. Is there anything I don't like ? Lane assist for someone with a long driving history seems pretty intrusive and annoying having to deselect every time you start , other than that this motor gets a massive thumbs up 😁
One big thing to consider when buying a hybrid if there's also a PHEV option of the same model. If the vehicle and you both qualify for any Federal or State tax credits, the PHEV could cost significantly less than the "regular" hybrid after you get the tax credit refunded. We bought a 22' Tucson Limited PHEV when it was new, and it cost a few thousand less than the regular hybrid was (at the time). You also get the benefit of driving around town in EV mode while not using any gas (you HAVE to charge it as needed though - which is no big deal with the included 110V charger). When you need to go longer distances, it then operates as a normal hybrid. So far, we've been VERY impressed with the Tucson and it's PHEV system. I'd buy another one tomorrow if I needed to...
I was really hoping this would still be the case, but it seems like with the stricter battery manufacturing rules, the 2025 Tucson PHEV doesn't qualify for the tax credits 😢 Unless someone knows otherwise?
Among all the things I loved about the Tucson, the rear lights were the design element that really drew me in. So much that I determined that they had to be a part of my life. I never get tired of looking at them. 😆😆😆😆
CVTs have a ton of moving parts, and are notorious for shitting themselves. It's not just Nissan either. Even the Honda CVTs tend to be alot more unreliable then standard transmissions and require alot more babying.
@@namtran512you simply do a few more transmission flushes other than that it's a normal transmission and smoother and gear step transmission but keep living in ignorance
Great review! One minor mistake: the Tucson Hybrid Limited comes with HDA, not the more advanced HDA2. Thanks for measuring the 0-60 time; it's even faster than the 2024 MY. Loving all the physical buttons!
I've had my '25 hybrid for a month with 1500 miles and am pleasantly surprised how refined it is - sorry Sofyan they made this car better by using a traditional transmission. The self driving is really good! The seats warmers could be better is the only knock I have 😊.
@@PJZIGnever hurt to have the turn signals on higher position, if they can make them on higher position, why lower? (Yes, they can, so why lower?) Also, it makes them ugly on the lower portion. If someone hits them, you will have to replace turn signals.(being lower on the bumper makes other cars easier to hit them).
@@blackwhirlwind1245 Exactly, friend of mine was in a minor fender bender when the Tuscon just came out but was still driveable. Problem was the Tuscon being a fresh redesign and the body shop had to wait two months to get a new tailgate for her. I remember driving behind her the right rear turn signal and reverse light was bashed in so it didn’t work until she took it in for repair.
Excellent review but want to know if, like so many other Hybrids, not having a spare tire troubles you as it does mt. I don't think the tire inflation kit that comes with the car is an adequate substitute for a spare tire. Thanks!!!!!!!
I agree with your comments about the Tucson lacking a Toyota-like e-CVT transmission. The Toyota powertrain is a lot smother and relaxing to drive. The Tucson is a bit clunky under certain driving conditions.
I’m so very happy that Hyundai got away from the CVT I had the 2023 I so dislike the CVT sounds I live where I’m driving down hill a lot, and the CVT kicks in and the rev of the engine 🥸 I keep hitting the gas paddle to kick it off, but it would kick back on so I trade it in
Love my 2022 Limited Hybrid. Just over 40,000 miles at this point with zero issues. Only complaints are the extensive piano black plastic interior trim which is a fingerprint magnet, and the all touch HVAC and infotainment controls. Oh, and the lane centering never seems to keep the car actually centered, just between the lines. Other than that, it’s been a fantastic daily driver and a great looking vehicle.
@ If you want to get technical about it, it's actually "Lane Following Assist" in Hyundai parlance. Regardless, the point is that it does not work as well at centering the vehicle between the painted lines as do some other systems.
@@markburke2224 That would be nice. I like the idea of the driving assistance tech, but it’s just not yet at the point where it can be fully trusted. Case in point, there’s a spot on a highway I frequent where the car will alway jerk the wheel a bit to the right every time I pass that spot. Not sure what the defect is in the painted lines, but something in that location always causes the car to glitch, and if I didn’t have my hands on the wheel, who knows how far off the road the car would try to go.
There are main 2 reasons people are still buying a RAV4. 1) Because they didn’t they didn’t test drive anything else. 2) Because they think Toyota is still a stand out brand of dependability.
@ I completely agree. There is no comparison between the Tucson against the CRV and RAV4 , which feel and look like budget vehicles in the interior. The RAV4 being bottom of the barrel there. The legacy of reliability is over too, but even if it weren’t - why would anyone want a vehicle for a decade or more that is already out of date, and poorly appointed with a cheap fit and finish?
Thank you for your review. Next to the Toyota CRV, this is the ugliest car in class! The sheet metal design is hideous; how many senseless lines and creases can you build into one car? Those directional wheels are horrible. The "fang" tail lights are horrible as well. No lumbar support adjustment for the front passenger seat even in top trim? BIG FAIL. The new Hyundai key fob is also a FAIL. But, on a positive note, the interior is very nice, the car drives exceptionally well, and the cabin is quiet.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video here the 2025 hyundai tucson hybrid comes only in the ultimate trim but I get it with the Americans 😮
I'm surprised you mentioned it has a power-folding mirror because I went to configure it and it was never mentioned as a feature on the Hyundai website. Missed opportunity for Hyundai. The new Kia Sportage hybrid comes with the power fold mirror on higher trims as unveiled at the LA auto show.
NO to the CVT/eCVT. I have nothing against these type of transmission, but you can't fully control them in manual mode. Let Hyundai be themselves and not another Toyota. If I want a Toyota, I will get one.
Cvts suck. The 6 speed is much better. As someone that owns this vehicle, Cvts get annoying fast. You never notice the transmission in this. Soyfan always looks at cars through a sport lens instead of what the vehicle is designed for. The Tuscon drives perfectly fine. It's comfortable, quiet and quick enough for it's size. It also gets between 38 and 40mpg without trying.
A lot to think about. 😮Thanks for the comparisons with Honda, Mazda and Toyota hybrids. What about paddle shifters or regenerative braking? I like how 2 of the DLRs now turn to amber for turning! Thanks.
So well explained, I’m watching your review again. Excited to test drive this model in the Spring! I’ll have to finally say good-bye to my 2003 Acura TL at about 190,000 miles!
The camera mounted to the sunroof seems to have a strange distortion that makes everything looks weirdly wide including the steering wheel while driving.
I just got my 2025 Tucson ultimate PHEV 2 weeks ago. There is lot of WIND NOISE above 90 kmph speed and aerodynamics sucks. Fuel economy is also down side.. 9L/100km. Any suggestions on Wind noise ? It's really annoying me.
These are some nice updates for sure. However, I cannot stand the bumper mounted turn signals and reverse lamps. I am surprised that they did not change that design flaw with this refresh. Oh well.
OK, what am I missing here? It’s a hybrid and it’s only getting 35 MPG when I had my Hyundai Sonata hybrid I got 58 MPG I’m currently getting 30 MPG in my Hyundai Tucson regular right now. How can it be that a hybrid only gets five more miles per gallon. I don’t get this.
The Tucson is an amazing vehicle, and it’s a nice feeling to step out of your house everyday and get into an SUV you love. It’s not cheap, but certainly on the lower end of the price range in comparison to the competition. And of course, much better appointed.
Understand that the Brake-Override safety system will often negate your 1970's style Brake-Torquing. These aren't classic muscle cars. Would have liked a lot more information on the Bose sound system. Otherwise, very good review.
I just bought this exact car. I love the car,except for the smart lifgate, filling gas, door locks. Lift gate the car has to be locked, wait 15 seconds, then stand from 20 to 40 inches to get stuff out. If you want to press the inside button you have to hold it all the way up. Also no way to close it hands free! Stupid. Also I can't open the door, press the lock button from the inside and lock the car and leave. The rear doors, even if the doors are locked, can be opened by a passenger. Make sure if you have kids to use the child lock, which they make it's hard to find. And you can't fill the gas tank with the doors locked
Hyundai finally got it right and put the logo on the grill not the hood. The wheels are too busy in comparison to the grill (still busy, but not a polarizing). But to be fair, most carmakers suffer from a loss in styling when it comes to wheel design. The interior is just plain bland, but again, that's true will all the manufactures that have cars in this market.
Someone tell me their experience with recent Hyundai/Kia cars! My mechanic is vehemently against me getting one, but none of the competitors in this segment is doing it for me OR I don't have the budget for it (one day, Lexus, one day LOL)
Hyundai/Kia had bad reputations back in the day hence a lot of mechanics having negative opinions about the brands but I think most would agree that a lot has improved since those days
If you're planning to keep for long time or put a lot of miles. Either get the extended warranty or plan for a new vehicle after a few years. Hyundai and Kia does not age well. While they offered great techs and value. Mechanical reliability is still hit or miss.
They are really good and reliable vehicles. Go for it. Their vehicles are now as reliable as any Toyota out there. People are just dogmatic with Japanese brands
Sure! Hyundai hybrids are designed to give you great fuel economy, which means you can save money on gas. They usually have a mix of a gas engine and an electric motor, so they can switch between the two for better efficiency. Plus, many models come with cool tech features like advanced safety systems and infotainment options.
I can’t stand that CVT transmission though it’s jerky it’s hesitant it almost stalls out. I’ll never buy another one. Currently I own a 2017 Hyundai Tucson and I love it except for the CVT transmission. I had no idea what I was getting when I bought it. Everyone that rides in the car comments on how jerky it is.
It's a good vehicle... But there's way too much going on with the exterior design. Creases, bulges, flares, big chrome accents, crazy wheels... It's weird.
Many will disagree with you - Hybrid or not, plenty of people can't stand CVT's. I'm one of them. Conventional trans with a locking center diff in an suv, in a snowy northern climate - no CVT EVER!

@@truckercowboyed2638 It doesn't have a CVT you moron troll. If you actually watched the video you'd know it has a 6 speed. If it had a CVT many wouldn't buy it - it's part of why it has such a large following in this segment - you're a DS!

I agree 100%. It was a beautiful design due to the exact reasons you mention. This new interior is more utilitarian and functional. But the former interior was more striking with a more premium look.
NEVER EVER buy a Hyundai product or else you will be LEFT FOR DEAD just like me. I bought a brand new Santa Fe Hybrid Luxury in 2023 and my experience so far has been a nightmare to say the least. The vehicle has major safety issues (e.g.: vehicle failing to slow down/ stop on cruise control), providing photo & video evidence to prove the issue was not enough for Hyundai Canada to take immediate action and instead I have been left to battle this by sending it for a million diagnostics tests. Finally, I had no option but to take them to court. The judgement is coming soon but it is shocking that a manufacturer (& Transport Canada) would allow this to happen. This could have easily become a criminal case if an accident would have occurred and then I would have been blamed for it when it is truly a technical snag. If you buy their product, your safety and that of the public will be at risk and Hyundai would only be silent spectators! SHAME ON HYUNDAI FOR PUTTING THE PUBLIC & CUSTOMERS AT RISK ONLY TO MAKE $$$, ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!!
Sorry for what you are experiencing. Likelihood, it you got a lemon. Hyundai should have corrected the problem immediately. I purchased a new 2024 Tucson Limited and it has been a great vehicle.

Engine doesn't come on when you don't want it to. Getting about 10 mpgs better on average with Rav (63 mpgs over 8,000 miles of 50/50 city/hwy driving). Also paid slightly less for Rav4 than the Hyundai and got the absolutely loaded version with Premium Package. Only way Hyundai is better I would say is their AWD setup is better with a mechanical connex between axles and infotainment is slightly easier to use (but took about 4 months for me to get the car connected to my Hyundai Bluelink account and customer service was rough there also). Cameras may be slightly better. I like the fake leather in the Toyota better than the real leather in the Hyundai. Hyundai drivers seat leather was coming off the foam after just a few months of ownership. Hyundai service absolutely SUCKS around Boston with a 6-8 week wait just to get basic service like a tire rotation (that was the case with like 5 dealers I checked with). And look at the Hyundai hybrid depreciation, it is WILD. Lose like $10k or more in a year, prob $25k in 3 years.
@@802asher People only buy Toyotas because of an old reputation. They suck they make the worst interiors in the entire auto industry, I also fall asleep looking at them they design the most yawn inducing vehicles on the market 🤣.
Old reputation? Clearly you didn’t read about my experience with Hyundai service! What good is a 100k warranty if you have to wait a YEAR to get warranty service while all the while your car is decommissioned. Go to any Hyundai dealership and you will find multiple cars awaiting new engines. You will NEVER find that at a Toyota dealership one because their engines don’t fail and in the 1/1000 chance they do, Toyota takes care of you. Hyundai is the Recall King I’m afraid. 3 million here, 1 million there!
@@Carfan678no they aren’t. There are many current gen rav4 hybrids making it to 400-500k miles on fb
@@802asheryeah I’ve heard horror stories of Hyundai and Kia service when it comes to warranty, they sound very picky when it comes to their “Americas best warranty”. Currently own a 23 Kia Niro hybrid, no issues with it thankfully other than a squirrel or rodent crawling into my engine bay and chewing through AC wiring so my AC didn’t work at one point, fairly cheap and quick fix (around $200) and my insurance ended up covering it. Gonna be going to a Honda Passport when the new model comes out, they still use a tried and true naturally aspirated V6 and I think an 8 speed auto.
I tell you manufacturers just can’t win with testers. Give them a 6 speed transmission and they want a CVT. Give them a CVT and they complain how terrible it is!!
Hahaha so danm true
Better interior than x3M50i, which is almost 3 times more expensive!
$120,000? NO
Great review. I recently purchased that exact vehicle and absolutely love it. It has every imaginable feature I need/want except it's missing a sunglasses holder and a digital rear view mirror. I find it's extremely quiet and smooth. It's often difficult to tell the difference between the EV and ICE motor, and the transitions are very smooth. Personally I like the fact that it's a traditional transmission - it works perfectly, without the droning/endless revving of a CVT.
Got mine a week or so ago and I agree that the sunglasses holder is the one thing I miss, but it seems like they thought of about everything else.
22:45 I think car journalists (not just you) get this very wrong. You also hear journalists say stuff like "SUV buyers don't care for how it drives..." etc. _People do care!!!_ We care if a car drives well, if it feels like a traditional automatic vs. CVT, how the steering feels, how it handles bumps mid-corner, etc. Why would people stop caring for an SUV?
Remember that the only reason most people buy SUV's is because they're forced to. I.e. they had kids and while the Accord is big, it doesn't have room for a large stroller + Costco run groceries in the trunk and it doesn't have AWD. Their only option is a CR-V because Honda killed the Accord Crosstour. Car seats are also way bigger today than they used to be, so back seats need even more room. Nowadays most people don't have money for two cars either, so the "fun weekend car" is dead too. People just can't afford to get a crappy daily SUV and also own (and insure) a fun sports car for weekends only. People who care about driving have to get an SUV that does everything _AND_ drives well.
The same goes for hybrids too. Why the hell can't we have fun-to-drive hybrids? Why can't someone who enjoys driving also care about fuel efficiency, global warming, and saving money on gas? Saying that "hybrid buyers don't care how a car drives" is lazy, decades-old thinking. That may have been true of the first generation Prius, but not anymore. In fact, that statement just gives a pass for auto makers to make boring, terrible hybrids.
TL;DR: someone who cares about driving dynamics is forced to buy an SUV because family wagons are dead, but they still care how it drives! Saying "SUV/hybrid buyers don't care about [whatever]" is just lazy journalism.
Its a generalization bub. You care, but you and I are the only two. Again a generalization, but a cumbersome way to communication when you have to stops and say "in my opinion", after every proclamation. Whose else would it be?
Preach!
Hyundai showcases its strategic acumen by effectively utilizing extensive databases and customer feedback to cater to consumer preferences, which is a key reason for their decision to avoid CVTs.
Additionally, it is impressive that Hyundai has adjusted its pricing to be competitive, as they were previously positioned about 5-10% lower than rivals while delivering superior technology and features within their segment.
Keep the 6spd auto and the mechanical AWD. I'd choose this over the Rav and CX 50.
Exactly what I did
Best review I seen for the Tucson!- Great Job!
I’ve had this vehicle for a few years. With the turbo lag, it can be minimized by choosing Sport Mode or the Smart mode in the original design. Eco mode accentuates turbo lag in my experience. It also helps to know some basics about turbo engines. Just don’t try to punch it on a cold engine. If I’m preparing to pass or gun it from a stop I make sure I’m in the right mode.
Thanks!
I bought one last year. Mileage greatly improves when you use less a/c and drive carefully I easily get 37 without running a lot of a/c. This is a much better design and interior then CRV (I’ve had 2). It’s QUIET and I had a Murano with CVT and disagree with you: the peppiness of the hybrid and 6spd are worth a couple of MPG. Totally happy with my choice not an ounce of trouble either.
I’m considering a Tucson hybrid as my next vehicle and I’d say I prefer the conventional automatic transmission… the MPG increase is good enough for me over the ICE.
All down to personal choice but I'm loving my 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Ultimate.
Heads up display is pretty awesome as is the reclining heated rear seats , such luxury.
New auto column gearchange a game changer and love the drivers seat dropping when door opens for easier access and the memory when entering putting you right back where you need to be.
Is there anything I don't like ? Lane assist for someone with a long driving history seems pretty intrusive and annoying having to deselect every time you start , other than that this motor gets a massive thumbs up 😁
This is definitely one of the best cuvs.
Snagged one of these Tucson Limited Hybrids last week. Nice! PHEV was a lot more money so went with the no plug in option.
One big thing to consider when buying a hybrid if there's also a PHEV option of the same model. If the vehicle and you both qualify for any Federal or State tax credits, the PHEV could cost significantly less than the "regular" hybrid after you get the tax credit refunded. We bought a 22' Tucson Limited PHEV when it was new, and it cost a few thousand less than the regular hybrid was (at the time). You also get the benefit of driving around town in EV mode while not using any gas (you HAVE to charge it as needed though - which is no big deal with the included 110V charger). When you need to go longer distances, it then operates as a normal hybrid.
So far, we've been VERY impressed with the Tucson and it's PHEV system. I'd buy another one tomorrow if I needed to...
I was really hoping this would still be the case, but it seems like with the stricter battery manufacturing rules, the 2025 Tucson PHEV doesn't qualify for the tax credits 😢 Unless someone knows otherwise?
Love the fact that it is a 6 speed transmission.
Anything's better than the rubber band, CVT.
Toyota might have a better hybrid system, but their interiors are so cheap and ugly.
Agreed. I’d rather get a tuscon or Sportage or cx50 or CRV hybrid because they’re not boring
Very plain. But people by them nonetheless.
Agree! The Toyotas are so utilitarian and boring!!
The front looks even more questionable , but oddly I love the rear. It’s looks pretty cool at nighttime when I see one drive by
Interesting. So some people actually do like the rear design of this car. I just don't get it.. those tail lights are just stupid.
Get over it you don't have to get it ...@@htz70
Among all the things I loved about the Tucson, the rear lights were the design element that really drew me in. So much that I determined that they had to be a part of my life. I never get tired of looking at them. 😆😆😆😆
You do amazing reviews.
CVTs are notoriously unreliable, unless it's an eCVT like Toyota does it.
233,000 miles on my CVT. My secret? Follow the manufacturers recommended maintenance and don't drive it like you stole it.
CVTs have a ton of moving parts, and are notorious for shitting themselves. It's not just Nissan either. Even the Honda CVTs tend to be alot more unreliable then standard transmissions and require alot more babying.
You have no clue what you're talking about
@@namtran512you simply do a few more transmission flushes other than that it's a normal transmission and smoother and gear step transmission but keep living in ignorance
Nope, they're fine when properly applied to the right engine.
Great review! One minor mistake: the Tucson Hybrid Limited comes with HDA, not the more advanced HDA2. Thanks for measuring the 0-60 time; it's even faster than the 2024 MY.
Loving all the physical buttons!
Rear turn signals low in the bumper alone will make me go with the Sportage.
My thoughts exactly
Then go 😂
Brilliant! Don't you worry about!@@dontworryaboutwhoiam456
That's definitely a legitimate concern. I wish the Sportage had an HUD, which I've quickly come to love while test driving
@@SapSapient I've read the 26 will have it available.
I've had my '25 hybrid for a month with 1500 miles and am pleasantly surprised how refined it is - sorry Sofyan they made this car better by using a traditional transmission.
The self driving is really good! The seats warmers could be better is the only knock I have 😊.
Nobody wants turn signals buried in the bottom of the rear bumper. This design is so bad. Get rid of it!
Only for people that tailgate
@@PJZIGnever hurt to have the turn signals on higher position, if they can make them on higher position, why lower? (Yes, they can, so why lower?) Also, it makes them ugly on the lower portion. If someone hits them, you will have to replace turn signals.(being lower on the bumper makes other cars easier to hit them).
@@blackwhirlwind1245 Exactly, friend of mine was in a minor fender bender when the Tuscon just came out but was still driveable. Problem was the Tuscon being a fresh redesign and the body shop had to wait two months to get a new tailgate for her. I remember driving behind her the right rear turn signal and reverse light was bashed in so it didn’t work until she took it in for repair.
The turn signals also blink on the side mirrors and I find that helps a ton.
Nobody uses them anyway 😅😂
I need them to ditch that rear turn signal on the bumper. That’s such a pet peeve of mine, can’t stand it 😂
I'm sure Hyundai will immediately redesign the turn signals just to specifically appease you.
@@JulezWinnfield I'm sure they will! Thanks Julie.
@@dateintokyo
I don't think they will.
@@JulezWinnfield That’s fine. I have a Sportage anyways.
No sofyan..NO CVT ever.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing when he said that lol smh
@ there’s no CVT that will be better for ANYTHING.. It’s a hybrid not a race car so just enjoy the MPGs.
Excellent review but want to know if, like so many other Hybrids, not having a spare tire troubles you as it does mt. I don't think the tire inflation kit that comes with the car is an adequate substitute for a spare tire. Thanks!!!!!!!
I agree with your comments about the Tucson lacking a Toyota-like e-CVT transmission. The Toyota powertrain is a lot smother and relaxing to drive. The Tucson is a bit clunky under certain driving conditions.
Awesome vehicle and have had mine for 6 months... I am averaging 45 mpg city.
I’m so very happy that Hyundai got away from the CVT I had the 2023 I so dislike the CVT sounds I live where I’m driving down hill a lot, and the CVT kicks in and the rev of the engine 🥸 I keep hitting the gas paddle to kick it off, but it would kick back on so I trade it in
Sofyan, absolutely NO to a CVT, honestly can't believe you said that
Less than 4k lbs with true AWD, and 30 MPG. Pick it up One year old for $33k. Great deal.
Test drove one its amazing
Love my 2022 Limited Hybrid. Just over 40,000 miles at this point with zero issues. Only complaints are the extensive piano black plastic interior trim which is a fingerprint magnet, and the all touch HVAC and infotainment controls. Oh, and the lane centering never seems to keep the car actually centered, just between the lines. Other than that, it’s been a fantastic daily driver and a great looking vehicle.
It’s not called lane centering, it’s LANE FOLLOWING.
@ If you want to get technical about it, it's actually "Lane Following Assist" in Hyundai parlance. Regardless, the point is that it does not work as well at centering the vehicle between the painted lines as do some other systems.
@@gtrspeed5311 I totally agree with you and I don't use it. However, I believe I read that it was improved in the '24 model.
@@markburke2224 That would be nice. I like the idea of the driving assistance tech, but it’s just not yet at the point where it can be fully trusted. Case in point, there’s a spot on a highway I frequent where the car will alway jerk the wheel a bit to the right every time I pass that spot. Not sure what the defect is in the painted lines, but something in that location always causes the car to glitch, and if I didn’t have my hands on the wheel, who knows how far off the road the car would try to go.
Placement of the rear turn signal lights is completely wrong for safety visual reasons.
Yes, Hyundai has a habit of that. Turn lights always at the top...always! Some things just need to be left alone.
We have an SEL Convenience and my one bone to pick is that the key feels super light and cheap. Otherwise it’s a great car
I don’t know why Hyundai makes their key fobs so large. I agree, they do feel cheap.
Rav4 is way to loud and a primative vehicle
It does what it does well, and out sells all the rest. That's your proof he can say what he says.
@@krane15A lot of fleet sales.
There are main 2 reasons people are still buying a RAV4.
1) Because they didn’t they didn’t test drive anything else.
2) Because they think Toyota is still a stand out brand of dependability.
I test drove exact tucson and rav4 xse and crv sport L this car kills both of them crv and rav4 way to cheap and loud inside
@ I completely agree. There is no comparison between the Tucson against the CRV and RAV4 , which feel and look like budget vehicles in the interior. The RAV4 being bottom of the barrel there. The legacy of reliability is over too, but even if it weren’t - why would anyone want a vehicle for a decade or more that is already out of date, and poorly appointed with a cheap fit and finish?
Thank you for your review. Next to the Toyota CRV, this is the ugliest car in class! The sheet metal design is hideous; how many senseless lines and creases can you build into one car? Those directional wheels are horrible. The "fang" tail lights are horrible as well. No lumbar support adjustment for the front passenger seat even in top trim? BIG FAIL. The new Hyundai key fob is also a FAIL. But, on a positive note, the interior is very nice, the car drives exceptionally well, and the cabin is quiet.
I would definitely trade in my 2023 Jeep Compass for this
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video here the 2025 hyundai tucson hybrid comes only in the ultimate trim but I get it with the Americans 😮
The USA LIMITED is the same level as the Canadian Ultimate.
I'm surprised you mentioned it has a power-folding mirror because I went to configure it and it was never mentioned as a feature on the Hyundai website. Missed opportunity for Hyundai. The new Kia Sportage hybrid comes with the power fold mirror on higher trims as unveiled at the LA auto show.
NO to the CVT/eCVT. I have nothing against these type of transmission, but you can't fully control them in manual mode. Let Hyundai be themselves and not another Toyota. If I want a Toyota, I will get one.
What’s with the mini screen at the left of the dash?
Cvts suck. The 6 speed is much better. As someone that owns this vehicle, Cvts get annoying fast. You never notice the transmission in this. Soyfan always looks at cars through a sport lens instead of what the vehicle is designed for. The Tuscon drives perfectly fine. It's comfortable, quiet and quick enough for it's size. It also gets between 38 and 40mpg without trying.
A lot to think about. 😮Thanks for the comparisons with Honda, Mazda and Toyota hybrids. What about paddle shifters or regenerative braking? I like how 2 of the DLRs now turn to amber for turning! Thanks.
So well explained, I’m watching your review again. Excited to test drive this model in the Spring! I’ll have to finally say good-bye to my 2003 Acura TL at about 190,000 miles!
The camera mounted to the sunroof seems to have a strange distortion that makes everything looks weirdly wide including the steering wheel while driving.
You have a misstake on your video, my Hyundai Tucson 2023 have wireless apple car play and it works great. Is a SEL Convenience Package.
I just got my 2025 Tucson ultimate PHEV 2 weeks ago. There is lot of WIND NOISE above 90 kmph speed and aerodynamics sucks.
Fuel economy is also down side.. 9L/100km.
Any suggestions on Wind noise ? It's really annoying me.
The Tucson was never a subcompact. It has always been a compact class car.
CVT drone is the most annoying sound.
Turn the radio up
These are some nice updates for sure. However, I cannot stand the bumper mounted turn signals and reverse lamps. I am surprised that they did not change that design flaw with this refresh. Oh well.
They did, they are now actually a little lower ! I have a 2024 Tucson Limited and that is really my only complaint. Otherwise, a great vehicle !
They keep the 6-speed transmission because they want reliability.
wish they put this hybrid in the santa fe
nice review, Have the car, like it very much BUT the sidemirrors ARE NOT POWER FOLDING< BUMMER! Like the interior better than my x3 that I sold
So, is Hyundai a more luxury brand than BMW?
OK, what am I missing here? It’s a hybrid and it’s only getting 35 MPG when I had my Hyundai Sonata hybrid I got 58 MPG I’m currently getting 30 MPG in my Hyundai Tucson regular right now. How can it be that a hybrid only gets five more miles per gallon. I don’t get this.
But really, is it worth $42,000? Wow
Yes
A bargain compared to the RAV4 PHEV which is 50k.
For the features you get, yes!
The Tucson is an amazing vehicle, and it’s a nice feeling to step out of your house everyday and get into an SUV you love. It’s not cheap, but certainly on the lower end of the price range in comparison to the competition. And of course, much better appointed.
What can you get for $42k ?? A crv sport L or rav4 xse this car kills both of them
Understand that the Brake-Override safety system will often negate your 1970's style Brake-Torquing. These aren't classic muscle cars.
Would have liked a lot more information on the Bose sound system. Otherwise, very good review.
Signal lights should be higher.
Signal lights should always be higher. Fixed.
I belive torque is 258, santa fe has 271. Hp us same for both these models for hybrid
Only 35 mpg? I feel like I’ve seen better MPG on other competitors hybrids
I have a 2024 Tucson Limited ICE, average mpg 38 to 42.
I just bought this exact car. I love the car,except for the smart lifgate, filling gas, door locks. Lift gate the car has to be locked, wait 15 seconds, then stand from 20 to 40 inches to get stuff out. If you want to press the inside button you have to hold it all the way up. Also no way to close it hands free! Stupid. Also I can't open the door, press the lock button from the inside and lock the car and leave. The rear doors, even if the doors are locked, can be opened by a passenger. Make sure if you have kids to use the child lock, which they make it's hard to find. And you can't fill the gas tank with the doors locked
Looking forward to the 2025 Tucson PHEV Limited review 😊
Hyundai finally got it right and put the logo on the grill not the hood. The wheels are too busy in comparison to the grill (still busy, but not a polarizing). But to be fair, most carmakers suffer from a loss in styling when it comes to wheel design.
The interior is just plain bland, but again, that's true will all the manufactures that have cars in this market.
Someone tell me their experience with recent Hyundai/Kia cars! My mechanic is vehemently against me getting one, but none of the competitors in this segment is doing it for me OR I don't have the budget for it (one day, Lexus, one day LOL)
Hyundai/Kia had bad reputations back in the day hence a lot of mechanics having negative opinions about the brands but I think most would agree that a lot has improved since those days
If you're planning to keep for long time or put a lot of miles. Either get the extended warranty or plan for a new vehicle after a few years. Hyundai and Kia does not age well.
While they offered great techs and value. Mechanical reliability is still hit or miss.
My sister has had 2. My other sister traded her X3 in for exactly this one. My mom has a Santa Fe. I'm about to get a GV80 Coupe. They are all great!!
don’t do it
They are really good and reliable vehicles. Go for it. Their vehicles are now as reliable as any Toyota out there. People are just dogmatic with Japanese brands
It seems like all the car manufactures collude with each other when charging for over priced paint options.
That hair product he was pushing for a while doesn't seem to work at all. Can people request a refund?
Tucson is not a subcompact, its compact, and almost mid size in US market. The European version is smaller and compact size
It depends on your respective. Most cars in this segment straddle the line. VW has a smaller Taos to its compact Tiguan, but Toyota does not.
The Tucson has way more features than CRV and Rav 4
Sofyan No More CVT American people don't want that so that transmission , getting out from markets!!!
Which explains the RAV4 and CRV being among The best selling cars in Americana? What does that tell you? Does that say people don't like it?
Sure! Hyundai hybrids are designed to give you great fuel economy, which means you can save money on gas. They usually have a mix of a gas engine and an electric motor, so they can switch between the two for better efficiency. Plus, many models come with cool tech features like advanced safety systems and infotainment options.
I can’t stand that CVT transmission though it’s jerky it’s hesitant it almost stalls out. I’ll never buy another one. Currently I own a 2017 Hyundai Tucson and I love it except for the CVT transmission. I had no idea what I was getting when I bought it. Everyone that rides in the car comments on how jerky it is.
👍👍👍👍👍
What you call it, better start is simply that totyita put another pulley on the CVT is still a bad transmission and has no reability
Learn to spell please
It's a good vehicle...
But there's way too much going on with the exterior design.
Creases, bulges, flares, big chrome accents, crazy wheels... It's weird.
That’s why it’s so great 👍
Many will disagree with you - Hybrid or not, plenty of people can't stand CVT's. I'm one of them. Conventional trans with a locking center diff in an suv, in a snowy northern climate - no CVT EVER!
Then don't buy it quit crying about the cvt

As someone who seen many of these in the dealership for an array of issues I stay far from it
The only thing that doesn't make sense is $45k for a cheapest compact hybrid SUV on the road
Horrendous fit and finish on the back of the rear seats. Piano black interior trim is unfortunate.
When you at the top trim that needs to be fixed. Poor quality control where that managed to get out to the market.
14 km per liters for a hybrid system is so bad 😮
한국인데 난 라브4를 살게. . . . 댓글들보니 한국이랑 보증기간이 틀려서그런가 .
I don't like the Tucson. My last favorite ones were the 2019 model
I like the pre refresh inside much better. It was cohesive and unique. The new one is generic
I agree 100%. It was a beautiful design due to the exact reasons you mention. This new interior is more utilitarian and functional. But the former interior was more striking with a more premium look.
6 inch longer
What, no love or hate for rear turn signals situated so low it’s lower than roadkill?
Put a cvt will probably do 40 mpg
A Pro.
I don't like the h in the rear window
1.6L engine, hell no
your reviews are always so inaccurate and sloppy.....always feels rushed😑
Nothing sophisticated about it unless you think TGI Fridays is sophisticated
NEVER EVER buy a Hyundai product or else you will be LEFT FOR DEAD just like me. I bought a brand new Santa Fe Hybrid Luxury in 2023 and my experience so far has been a nightmare to say the least. The vehicle has major safety issues (e.g.: vehicle failing to slow down/ stop on cruise control), providing photo & video evidence to prove the issue was not enough for Hyundai Canada to take immediate action and instead I have been left to battle this by sending it for a million diagnostics tests. Finally, I had no option but to take them to court. The judgement is coming soon but it is shocking that a manufacturer (& Transport Canada) would allow this to happen. This could have easily become a criminal case if an accident would have occurred and then I would have been blamed for it when it is truly a technical snag. If you buy their product, your safety and that of the public will be at risk and Hyundai would only be silent spectators! SHAME ON HYUNDAI FOR PUTTING THE PUBLIC & CUSTOMERS AT RISK ONLY TO MAKE $$$, ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!!
Sorry for what you are experiencing. Likelihood, it you got a lemon. Hyundai should have corrected the problem immediately. I purchased a new 2024 Tucson Limited and it has been a great vehicle.
