I have 22 hybrid limited, i am so satisfied with this vehicles. Spend 43k so worth it for daily drive. Ventilated seat , so much spacious & smooth ride quality it has is amazing
Bought this Tucson Hybrid Limited last year and was very impressed with its smoothness I got it to get away from the rough edges of the Rav4 Hybrid, and was very pleased Got 33-34 MPG
Got a 2025 nline hybrid. Bought it for work, cause I drive a lot. It has been awesome so far. Love the slight sporty look too. Really helped me choose it over some of the other small suvs. Only thing I don't like is the little twist knob to change gears.
3:53 there is actual a spare tire mount underneath that storage section. You'd have to get the spare separately though. it's cool that they left the space there at least. CRV eliminated it entirely on the hybrid.
Picked up my new UK ultimate hybrid model yesterday. Strange the radar sensor here, and it is in the middle. It does have rear blinds and rear adjustment on the climate. It's crazy how they vary from country to country.
Can’t believe the negative comments here! It’s a modern design far better than a lot of its competitors. Loaded with features, haven’t driven the hybrid but all the reviews are positive. I’ll agree the rear indicators are in a stupid position
What becomes apparent when watching these videos and reading the comments is how different the American car market is to the U.K.. All everyone talks about is the RAV4 and the CRV, both good cars but nowhere near as popular in the U.K. as they are in the states. For example the Kia Sportage has been the UK’s best selling car (not just SUV) for most months of 2024 and I don’t think it has ever been outside the top 3. The Tucson has consistently been in the top 10 best selling cars of 2024 usually between 5th and 9th place. The RAV4 isn’t even in the top 30 and the CRV is so far down it isn’t even worth mentioning……Toyota still sell loads of cars here but it’s their other models that are more popular. The Korean cars just offer so much value for the money, and people over here just seem to love them….they are everywhere. Oh and I take delivery of a facelift Tucson Hybrid ‘N Line S’ in two weeks, I suppose if you can’t beat them, join them.
Toyotas and Hondas have ridiculous prices in Europe. The Korean cars are no brainers, loaded with features, with hands down the best interiors and for a lot less money.
I’m watching your Limited Hybrid Tucson review again, so well done. Very comprehensive. Good technique to have a partner to chat with. I may not have to test drive anything else this Spring when this model should be well stocked.
What is really crazy is some dealers are marking up the kia/hyundai hybrids by 5k or more. Toyotas are being marked up as well. Take 10 to 15 yearrs to break even on the extra cost. I'll stick to gas only.
@MrGtronx it certainly will not last overnight, probably not more than an hour. Depends on how much initial charge you start with. My experience is that with slightly more than 50% charge, HVAC will run 20-30 min. on low fan. Before the engine comes on.
Don’t really care for the turbo, and the fact the starter motor is also a beefy motor/ generator/ alternator. Making the serpentine drive belt an extremely important maintenance item.
Honestly the one sweating are the entry luxury brand like gla, x1 and q3. I don’t see why buy those three when you can buy this, sportage, or Mazda cx5/50.
RAV4 has been around since 2019 and it still has more features than this car. Not to mention the fact that it’s competitive after 6 years, says a lot. And when the next gen comes out the Tucson and CRV will have a tough pill to swallow. Specially the CRV which doesn’t even offer cooled seats, big screen or 360 camera.
@@jxmar_ no it isn’t. 😆 it really isnt… The backseats are cramped, it’s poorly built inside, it’s noisy on the road, it’s unrefined, and it’s dreadful to drive. Not to mention it’s way overpriced The tuscon CRV Sportage cx5 cx50 rogue are superior in just about every way
If it was centered they'd have to leave room on the side for a front license plate and most states that have front plates like them in the center so it's a trade off.
I was comparing both and ended up getting the 2025 Tucson Limited Hybrid: it has the included 3 years of maintenance and the seats are real leather. Also, the Kia makes you press a 'change' button to switch different features from the radio to A/C. I will admit however, that the Kia has a far better looking rear end.
I already have 24 crv sport touring hybrid. I feel like crv is under powered. Should I buy this Tucson hybrid 25 ? Given it’s a Hyundai, I’m questioning its reliability. I don’t care about resale value but just how reliable it is ? Because I’m going to keep the car for 6+ years.
You have a 10yr warranty on the power train and bumper to bumper for a full 5yrs, I've had a bunch of kia's and only problem i have had was a transmission went at 74k miles and Kia replaced it no questions asked, so kia/hyundai stick by their warranty, also if your getting a hybrid model they are built exclusively in Korea which has better quality control, the issues that kia/hyundia have had in the past has been almost exclusively to the ones built in their Alabama plant, so get a hybrid, follow Hyundai's maintenance schedule (free for first 3yrs) keep your maintenance records (oil change etc.) And don't worry about anything, should something fail within those first 10yrs, they will fix it, Honda after 5yrs you are screwed, same for Toyota.
Because you're less likely to damage the sensor if it's not in the middle. I was in a chain reaction crash at 30 mph. Even though the Mercedes suv was pretty much fine, her tag somehow bent and struck right into my sensor in the middle grill.
I have a deposit on a Rav4 XSE hybrid, but this Tucson hybrid does look interesting. Hyundai is offering 0% financing with no payment due for 90 days. That's a very attractive offer. Some things to consider: the Rav4 hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Tucson. 41/38 vs 35/35. That can be significant if you do lots of city driving. The Tucson's engine uses GDI technology and has a turbocharger. These could increase maintenance cost in the future. However, Hyundai offers a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, which is hard to beat. One last thing: I may have to wait 3 months before my Rav4 hybrid is ready. The 2025 Tucson is already on the dealership lots. Update...The Tucson hybrid does not have a spare tire. Since I plan on camping and driving on mountain roads this is a deal breaker for me.
Toyota has NO...... Pano sunroof, high res 360 rear camera, large info screen. And it's LOUD. I have to assume Toyota will rectify these things in it's remodeled version out this fall. Wish we had a heads up. Would really suck if their upsdates fell short of the industry. Wasted 9 months waiting.
I still can’t trust the hybrid tech of Hyundai/Kia…haven’t been around long enough for its longevity and reliability unlike the Toyotas and Hondas (20+yrs) which have been proven
Hybrid on the Sonata, which is a similar system came out in 2011. It’s not new. Hybrids are just now more mainstream versus niche like hybrids were just a few years ago
Compared to what... feature for feature it's one of the cheapest compact SUVs on the market... Toyota and Honda charge more for less. Sounds to me like you're just out of touch with the current car market... you might want to do more research before posting.
@@wolfshanze5980By features I hope you don’t mean ambient lighting and stitching on the dash. Toyota and Honda offer the most useful features so that’s why they’re so popular.
@@mrgurulittle7000 are you just listing random talking points?

Your ignorance on what is actually in this vehicle and your BLIND FANBOISM to Toyota is blatantly obvious. You ignore and throw out all glowing reviews of the Tucson by respectable organizations like Consumer Reports and CAR and Driver because "you just know better". Ya, right pal. Don't forget there's a current recall on Toyota Rav4s for engine problems... I'm sure you won't talk about that... You're a fanboy who refuses to listen to FACTS from independent reviews... you just hate, bit have nothing solid to go by. Try again, maybe this time, do a little research and don't sound like an ignorant fanboi.
Refreshed??.. They made a huge mistake changing the interior! If anything they should’ve change the exterior!! This new interior design in comparison to the 2022/23 is so Disappointing!! What swayed me between Kia and all otger cars in that category was the unique dash/screen integration, the best I’ve seen in a modern car to date making it stand out from its competitors who have a clumsy screen awkwardly stuck on top of dash, which is also distracting! From a top class dash/screen integration to extremely basic… I’d hoped at the very least Hyundai would keep that unique style, and perhaps change the outer body, huge mistake as all its competitors are now in line with the same interior dash, actually I’ll go a step further, the new Tucson dash is a tray to store junk! It’s awful and for that reason I’m out! I’ll not be trading in my 2023 model for this new look next year!
Heap of ugliness. Not as efficient as a Toyota, not as practical as a Honda, not as cheap as a Nissan, not as fun as a Mazda, and looks like it was designed by an AI.

You could use that as a bargaining chip when discussing price. Maybe the dealer will reduce the price a bit.

The lines on the sides to me suggest the car was struck on the sides.

I want to know the way of engineering mode for tucson 2025 facelift
I need your help please.
can you run the HVAC in camp mode via the battery and if needed the engine kicks in. like the Rave4 prime room mode ?
HVAC will without the engine, until the battery needs to be recharged.
@@brucekaplan6124 for how long ... like an overnight camp stay?
@MrGtronx it certainly will not last overnight, probably not more than an hour.
Depends on how much initial charge you start with.
My experience is that with slightly more than 50% charge, HVAC will run 20-30 min. on low fan. Before the engine comes on.
Does the PHEV self charge? Does it always require to be charged by plugging it in? Thank you
The PHEV you have to plug it in at all times, the hybrid is a self charge.
Don’t really care for the turbo, and the fact the starter motor is also a beefy motor/ generator/ alternator. Making the serpentine drive belt an extremely important maintenance item.
It has the turbo and GDI engine technology. Both of those can cause future problems. And the Tucson get less mpg than the Rav4 hybrid.
There is alot to like about the 2025 Hyundai Tuscon. Hyundai killed it with this refresh.
It's now a premium suv!! RAV4 and CRV is now got tough competition!! RAV4 specially
Honestly the one sweating are the entry luxury brand like gla, x1 and q3. I don’t see why buy those three when you can buy this, sportage, or Mazda cx5/50.

Man I wish rav4 made a redesign but too bad we gon have to wait until next year to get thatb
It’ll be worth the wait
Yeah, it better be one hell of a design to beat the Sportage interior. Damn the Rav is showing its age right now.
Is it that you can't lock the doors when it's open?
Just wait until Tucson gains market share. Best value suv of the class
I love the tucson but, the rear signal lights on the bumper is just not it for me.
Agree 💯 I’m surprised not many people have mentioned this. It should be higher
If it was centered they'd have to leave room on the side for a front license plate and most states that have front plates like them in the center so it's a trade off.
It is comparable to the Kia Sportage Hybrid. They are even more similar than before the update. I do like the blind spot cameras on the Hyundai.
I have them on the Canadian SX PHEV trim. One of the best features in automobile history.

How can zero - 60 in 7-1 sec be under powered? You want a Tesla zero - 60 in 4 secs?
1:30… I don’t understand why Hyundai didn’t just make the emblem the sensor like the majority of car brands… definitely looks odd and not cohesive.
Because you're less likely to damage the sensor if it's not in the middle. I was in a chain reaction crash at 30 mph. Even though the Mercedes suv was pretty much fine, her tag somehow bent and struck right into my sensor in the middle grill.
and Hyundai eliminated the "T" adapter for towing electrical plug
They didn't fix the low turn signal lights... They made them even lower...
The only thing that I dont like. The rest 99.9% is all for best improvements made for the '25 model
