Style and space for a very small monthly fee
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is a hot seller for good reason. It offers head-turning exterior styling, a modern and tech-forward cabin, and great standard features that belie its price tag. For the 2025 model year, the Tucson received an SUV-like refresh with changes to the grille and bumpers. The cabin also received advanced dual displays for higher trims, a new steering wheel, and much-improved physical controls for climate and audio.
The 2025 model comes in five trim levels: SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, XRT, and Limited. Prices start at $28,705 and top out at $38,645, with every trim level featuring a blacked-out grille that seamlessly integrates the daytime running lights. Lower trims get a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. EPA estimates are 25 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined for front-wheel drive models with the base engine, and 24 mpg city, 30 highway, and 26 combined for all-wheel drive models.
The Tucson’s main competitors in the space are the Kia Sportage, Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, and Mazda CX-5. Hyundai is offering a great lease deal in September that makes it even more appealing in the face of competition.
