Wow!!! I rented this same exact one over the weekend!!! I enjoyed it so much and I am considering a 2025 Limited model in blue, I have always been a Japanese car buyer and I have to say I have been impressed. It drove like a high end luxury suv and it would be the Genesis I can't afford.
I would imagine that California gets their new vehicles earlier, if not the same time as we do here in Florida. Go talk to your local dealer and see if they have any 2025s inbound the way you like.
Really like the updates and your video. Does the 25' hybrid Tuscon get power folding side mirrors like in other markets? And will the hybrids get light colored leather interior and those awesome rims?
My 2025 Tucson Preferred Trend is a remarkable vehicle, showcasing a refined naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine and seamless transmission. The advanced Htrac AWD system provides superior handling and control. The updated exterior (front grill and rear bumpers) expansive panoramic moonroof, The premium leather seats, increased cargo and legroom space create a luxurious atmosphere. The new digital cluster extension to infotainment, power lift gate and intuitive smart column shifter add to the overall sophistication of the car.
Why does this 2025 Tucson have the gear shifter in the center console. All the other 2025 Tucson reviews I have watched has the gear shifter on the steering column.
Because the other Tucsons are probably the higher trim levels. SE and SEL models have the normal gear selector. The SEL w/ Convenience and higher packages have the gear selector behind the steering wheel.
@DavidEngh all Hybrids are considered "high trim" when it comes to the shifter, so all Hybrids will be on the console... The only Tucsons with a stick column are low trim ICE SUVs.
I wonder why Hyundai isn't offering a PHEV version of the Tuscon and Santa Fe like Kia is for their versions? There is a Tuscon version but only in 18 states, mostly up north and out west. If I needed to replace my wife's 2019 Santa Fe I'd go with Kia since I could do 90% of my driving on battery.
Like you said, Hyundai does make plug-in hybrids, but they are more focused on certain states in the U.S. Personally, plug-in Hybrids seem like the worst of both worlds. Not only are they higher priced than a conventional hybrid, but you'll also have the extra inconvenience of needing to charge it too. I know there's a market for plug-in Hybrids. I'm just not able to rationalize a more expensive vehicle that's also more of a hassle if you don't already have the electric infrastructure in your own home.
@@MiguelMyCarGuy The main reason for a PHEV is my extremely technology challenged wife. She couldn't handle a full EV which is what I'd like to get. But I only drive around 350 miles/month since I'm retired so can't justify a new vehicle when my 3yr old 2021 Venza only has 12,600 miles on it.....
If she drives a lot, a normal hybrid would be easier to live with. If she doesn't drive much at all, a normal gasoline powered car would make more financial sense. Let's say a Hybrid costs $4k more than the equivalent gasoline powered vehicle. $4,000 divided by $3.50 a gallon is about 1,142 gallons. 1,142 gallons multiplied by 28 is 31,976 miles in order to break even. So if you ever upgrade a vehicle before you reach 32,000 miles you never really got the benefit of a regular hybrid. Not to mention a plug-in hybrid having an even higher entry cost.
@@MiguelMyCarGuy Hyundai have had the largest increase in price of most auto companies on average since Covid. The limited ultimate of last gen Hyundai was sub 33000 dollars but now it over 41k. Ridiculous.
@jaybee4577 The last time a Limited was $33k was 5+ years ago. And the price is because they continue to innovate. They aren't like other manufactures that only change the price and nothing else.
Just wanted to say, your reviews sold me on a 2024 Tucson Nline last year, and I don't regret the purchase one bit. Keep up the awesome work!
Im happy you liked the video and really happy that you like the Tucson you bought. Thanks for the comment!

Glad you liked it
@@MiguelMyCarGuyI did and this would be my first SUV and my first non-Japanese vehicle in almost 21 years.
Great review Miguel.
Thanks!
again great job, I live in California and is wondering when the 2025's will start to be available? I'm looking for the Tucson limited hybrid AWD.
I would imagine that California gets their new vehicles earlier, if not the same time as we do here in Florida. Go talk to your local dealer and see if they have any 2025s inbound the way you like.
Nice bro I love ur vids!❤
Thanks so much!
Really like the updates and your video. Does the 25' hybrid Tuscon get power folding side mirrors like in other markets? And will the hybrids get light colored leather interior and those awesome rims?
I doubt the mirrors will be auto folding, but I'm sure the interior will have dark and light interiors.
I didn't know the 25's would be here already after that production delay. Hope they didn't rush them out the door too soon in a hurry.
They feel fine to me lol
Love the video
Thanks bro!

@@MiguelMyCarGuy well that's disappointing. Will it be the same for the hybrids?

Saw one today, too damn expensive.
If you think a New Hyundai is too expensive, imagine everything else in the same category....
