Thanks for this very comprehensive review. I am currently leasing a 2023 Tucson Limited and love it! Nice to see Hyundai improving this already great SUV. If I do not decide to get an Ioniq 5 in 2 years when my lease is up I will definitely lease another Tucson Limited, perhaps the hybrid one!!
We have a 24 phev in white with gray interior we got in march it’s great we can plug it in at night to get 40 miles of straight ev and we can use the 40 miles on straight ev or use a hybrid so it’ll switch between gas and electric or use it full and when it runs out the engine is still a hybrid engine so you don’t pay slot on gas and you can charge at the mall and stuff
Nice job on the comparison. As a 2023 Tucson owner, I am glad the exterior upgrades were minor. I really didn’t want my 2023 model to look outdated. However, the interior refresh is very nice. I like the two 12.3” screens on the dash, the floating center console and the additional storage below the console and the passenger side dashboard. Some of the new colors are nice. (Green and Bronze) Overall, a very nice refresh for the 2025 model year.
I think for me, the Hybrid SeL convenience will be the way to go altho i do want rear passenger heated seats and ventilated front seats so might go limited.
I have been thinking about trading my 2021 Santa Fe Calligraphy for the Tucson but since I only have 21k miles and still have the new car smell I just cant do it and this video has been really helpful on making a decision. I am going hang onto mine for another couple of years. Other than some upgraded tech toys I just don't feel the switch is worth it. Excellent comprehensive video. Thanks!
That’s the one negative for me is the blinker is so low on all these cars if you’re behind them, you don’t really see it unless you’re far back. I also don’t understand why Hyundai doesn’t make power folding mirrors on this trim.
Curious as to why they didn't move the buttons that are in front of the cup holders to the main display area. They moved the gear shifter back to the steering wheel - they could have cleaned that whole center console up and made it button-free....
I think I'm going to get a 2025 SEL with the convenience pkg. Small sunroof and H-Tex. I prefer the older shifter style, plus the higher trim levels are outside of the budget. I would like the panoramic sunroof, but not I don't want to be in the 40s. Thanks for the great info. Nobody does a better job than you. I wish you did driving segments. That's the only thing we're missing. Thanks.
Thank you! I don't believe the driving stuff is my strength so I tend to focus on what I believe I do well. If you really want the piano sunroof, you could look into an SEL Convenience Hybrid for just under $40k. This would give you 17" wheels though according to the spec sheet but you would lose the traditional shifter.
Well, I am the owner of a 2025 SEL convenience in Hampton Gray. 🎉 This vehicle is amazing. Thanks for all the help and information. I knew more about the changes and features than the salesman. Lol. I actually told him about your channel. 😅😂😊

You can find a little more information in the 2025 dedicated video. I've got many more videos planned but it's tough when I don't have a ton of time with the cars.
@@CarsMadeSimple we got it in CT cause they were doing a great deal but they had a phev with a black interior but it was used a lot for test drives and stuff so it already had 1k miles but they found the white with gray interior somewhere in NY and I guess they traded with that dealer and we got it 3 days later
@@CarsMadeSimple sure, thank you so much. I was going through your videos from longer time on Tucson, just need a suggestion I have few things on my mind. Should I go with SEL convenience 2024 hybrid or SEL convenience 2025 gas? As both are offering for 1.99% APR.
That's a tough one! I really prefer the Hybrid powertrain in the Tucson for the additional power but the infotainment controls and features are not ideal. Wireless AA/AC and the physical buttons are so much better. I don't know that Hyundai will continue the low APR through when the 2025MY Hybrid arrives so it would be a risk to wait. I might be willing to chance it though even if it isn't 1.99% it would still likely be a lower rate available. It's going to come down to whether you like the Hybrid powertrain and pano sunroof enough or the update interior, technology, and additional features of 2025.
@@urstrulyvr7607 No, it's only on the Hybrid SEL Convenience. For 2025, the gas SEL Convenience looks exactly the same on the outside as the SEL with the addition of the small sunroof up top.
Are these vehicles not equipped with dual clutch transmissions that have been a nightmare. I am currently looking to buy one for my bride but I'm hearing the transmission is a major problem. Can anyone point me in right direction to debunk this theory....I have just started researching today.........
No Tucson has the Dual Clutch Transmission currently. The 2.5L N/A engine uses an 8 speed auto and the Hybrid's use a 6 speed auto. The last Tucson to use a DCT was the 2018MY with the 1.6T engine only.
I have watched hundreds of car reviews. This review is by far the most thorough and useful. Amazing job!

I have 2024 and I love it
A very informative video, as always. Looking forward to the hybrid. The 2025 changes make a very compelling car!
Wow...those features...you name it, we have it!!!
Hope to see one in person soon. Thanks!

Good video and good comparison 👍👍
14:39 that infotainment is a huge difference for me. I like those physical buttons and unified dash. Definitely, 2025 is better, thanks for sharing!
I agree!
Back side by side with turned on turn signals missed. Too many words, it's better to show the difference side by side.
Geez, prices keep going up & up. At 40k this is now the same price as my fully loaded 2020 Santa Fe. And the new '24 SF is 10k more at 50k (YIKES!).
Believe it or not it's a couple hundred dollars more than a 2020 Santa Fe 2.0T Limited (Which was fully loaded at the time).

The only thing I like better in the '25 is the addition of knobs.

@CarsMadeSimple what is the fingerprint reader for

Glad I bought a 2024 Tucson Limited a month ago. I like the look of the interior (Dash and console) much better than the 2025. Great vehicle.
My 2022 Tucson hybrid has a back-up warning beep that is very loud and annoying. Do you know if Hyundai made it any quieter for the 2025 model?
One major difference you did not cover is the head-up display. Wish you would have shown more about it.

We just got a 24 phev white on gray in march and already have 8k miles💀 but I love this redesign a lot
What state did you buy it from? Supposedly Illinois was on the list but I saw VERY few available for 2024MY.

Is it just me or does the 24 Tucson look better than the 25. The interior upgrades are obv better on the 25 but the exterior is nicer on the 24 imo
All personal preference. I will say the 2022-2024 models still look extremely good 3 years later.
Are any of the north American hybrid models going to have power folding mirrors? I've seen this option on some of the Korean/ European models.
No
very informative! worth the wait for the 2025. is there a hands free liftgate option?
Hands free liftgate comes standard with the power liftgate on SEL or higher.
@@CarsMadeSimple thanks for the feedback! Once again, OUTSTANDING comparison! EXTREMELY HELPFUL!
Is the N Line worth the upgrade from Limited?
So technically the N-Line is lower than the Limited in the lineup. It has noticeably less features here in the US.
@@CarsMadeSimple I am surprised because it doesn't have the sports seats
Could you please compare SEL Convenience of 2024 vs 2025?
Some of the other trims weren't quite ready for the lot but hopefully next week I can create more videos on the Tucson!
@@CarsMadeSimple sure, thank you so much. I was going through your videos from longer time on Tucson, just need a suggestion I have few things on my mind. Should I go with SEL convenience 2024 hybrid or SEL convenience 2025 gas? As both are offering for 1.99% APR.
