2025 Hyundai Tucson Is Still A Sub-$30k Bargain

Hyundai has revealed pricing for the 2025 Tucson, the brand’s best-selling model in the United States. Facelifted last year, the crossover features a raft of improvements, from sharper styling to a revised interior. Despite this, pricing remains reasonable, with the entry-level model coming in at under $29,000. It’s worth noting that the 2025 Kia Sportage has an even lower starting price.

There are several trim levels to choose from. The range kicks off with the SE grade, which comes equipped with plenty of standard features. This includes 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, keyless entry, push-button start, cruise control, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. On the safety front, the SE receives eight airbags, and a host of driver assist features, including lane-keep assist, driver attention warning, and forward collision-avoidance assist, among others.

SEL Trim Is The Perfect Blend Of Luxury And Value

Building on the SE is the SEL trim, which offers everything you need. In addition to the abovementioned features, the SEL receives 18-inch wheels, a power-operated driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a wireless device charger, and a hands-free power-operated tailgate. Those looking for a bit more can opt for the SEL Convenience, which introduces a 12.3-inch digital cluster, sunroof, navigation, faux leather upholstery, Highway Driving Assist 1, and forward attention warning assist.

An off-road-inspired XRT trim is also available. For a more rugged look, the XRT receives model-specific 18-inch wheels, chunky body cladding, matte black fascias (front and rear), and black exterior trim. The interior gets H-Tex trim, XRT embossing, and a black headliner. A tow hitch is also part of the XRT package.

Three Engine Options To Choose From

The high-end Limited trim adds luxury car features to the affordable crossover. The exterior benefits from 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a dark chrome front grille, and high-gloss black B- and C-pillars. Step inside, and you’ll find genuine leather upholstery, a power-adjustable front seat, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. The Limited package includes a head-up display, rain-sensing wipers, and a surround-view monitor. The Tucson hybrid can also be specified with the sporty N-Line trim, which introduces racier styling, N-Line 19-inch wheels, red interior flourishes, and leather/cloth combination seats.

Hyundai needs to level up all of its N Line cars, and we’ve got a few suggestions.

Hyundai offers three engine choices: a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder, a hybrid 1.6-liter turbo, and a PHEV 1.6-liter turbo. The base engine produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The hybrid has combined outputs of 231 hp/258 lb-ft and benefits from a larger 47.7 kW electric motor. Lastly, the PHEV comes with a healthy 268 hp/258 lb-ft, but you pay for the extra power and efficiency. The hybrid and PHEV Tucsons make use of a six-speed automatic transmission. All pricing listed above excludes the $1,395 destination charge.
