Yes, I do have a question... why does the TITLE OF THE VIDEO say (correctly) 2025, but your video description and thumbnail say (wrongly) 2024? The new facelift Tucson coming out in 2024 is the 2025 Tucson, but you repeatedly have descriptions calling it 2024?!?! 2024 is the old Tucson (2022-2024) while the facelift is 2025+.
@jameshblack that's your opinion, not shared by all, and more important than your opinion... its within regulations... why are you incapable of noticing a vehicle in front of you? You really want to pick this battle of "it's a little lower on a vehicle that I should at the very least be in view of its tires from" as your big complaint? If you're incapable of seeing the bumper of the vehicle in front of you, YOU ARE TAILGATING AND A DANGER TO EVERYONE. Are you a habitual tailgater? Is that why you're bothered by something the US Highway Safety Board says is perfectly fine?
Perhaps dose complies with USA and within regulations but perhaps not my opinion so if I do buy one will alter rear lights ? If you’ll permit me I don’t plan to visit the USA
@jameshblack Guess what? The Tucson's rear turn signals comply with all nations safety regulations since it's sold WORLD WIDE in this configuration... its illegal to sell a car in any nation if it fails safety regulations... Hence the placement of the turn signals on the bumper comply with all global safety regulations... if you have a "safety concern" you are either a habitual tailgater or just don't agree with every safety regulation on a global scale.
10:21 Actually the new Tucson has quite an improved suspension and feels much smoother over bumps and bad roads. Even with the 19-inch wheels it feels better than mine, which is pre-facelift with 17-inch wheels. And the car I have tested was not top of the range, which has the adaptive suspension (ECS) that feels even smoother while in Eco mode. About the soundproofing, something you missed to mention is that there are lots of improvement there. Front windows are double-glazed, A, B and C pillars, as well as the wheel arches has additional sound proofing materials, and it is indeed much better than before.
Great review. I'm in Australia and am looking to order the premium hybrid version (in silver colour). My understanding is the suspension has been modified for Australian conditions, which is needed...believe me! This car ticks every box, and your review just confirmed my decision to order one. Thank you👍
You're a lucky man... I have the 2023 Tucson Hybrid... I love it... but if there's anything I don't love about my 2023 Tucson, it's been corrected/fixed/updated in the 2025 Tucson.
How about the electric range for the PHEV version? Is it the same as the last model? I’ve got the 2023 PHEV version, and I really like it. But, compared to other brands newest models it falls behind a bit in range and charging.
It should be about the same. The battery is the same and there are few electric ps more (8-9). What I have found driving the test HEV car is that the hybrid system works different. Unfortunately, not only in a good way... I hope that this new setup will not hurt the EV range... I guess we need to wait for next-gen PHEV's to see bigger batteries and DC charging...
Same. About 35 miles and if you run the battery flat you'll only have 180hp petrol engine to keep the car going. That said I think the 2025 model is a fantastic car for the price and deals offered if you go full spec.
@@mrsniffleupagusWell.. no about that you only have petrol power when the battery is drained. The car goes into hybrid mode when about 15% charge, and will recharge a bit when braking and downhill and also just cruising. That way you always have both petrol and electric power when overtaking and accelerating. Common misconception about PHEVs
Really nice and informative video..far superior to the kuga phev in terms of specs. What kills it for me are the rear indicators. They are tiny and having been behind a lot of tuscons when they are indicating I can say that visibility is poor for the driver behind you.
You still claim the steering wheel on the right is the proper side? Than now in Tucson You have to change gears with the „wrong hand”. Oh, wait! It’s because the gear selector stayed on the original side. 😂
If you get a manual transmission car, the gear stick is obviously to the left and in the centre. This gear selector stalk is on the right, granted, but as it's an automatic it isn't for changing gears, just drive, reverse or park.
Any questions let me know!

Does the PHEV self charge? Does it always require to be charged by plugging it in? Thank you
Does it have a usb A port for media files via mediastick?
Excellent review , explained the difference trim levels very well,just what I needed to know before going to the showroom, thanks again

Really great review....you have helped me to go ahead and buy one.
With Shift by Wire, do you need to press the brake still?
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
got one on order!

Me too. I hope the economy isn't too bad. Went for the n line s in ecotronic grey HEV..
@@MM0SDK you'll love it!

No mention of boot space in the video
The Hyundai Tucson offers 620-litres boot space in petrol manual form with the seats up, expanding to 1,799-litres with the seats down
what color is this ?
Your title says 2024, isnt this a 2025?
I think it is 2025 tucson
Yes, the facelift is 2025... 2024 belongs in the older 2022-2024 lineup.

@@stephenwakeman3074reverse is a gear, drive means changing gears automatically 😄
What the hell is this comment?
I think you got a "4" where a "5" should be.
