1 WORST ❌ And 6 BEST ✅ Things About The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

Im at awe with Hyundai's design language. The interior is chef's kiss. It's very modern and looks very expensive, but it's not. I love stepping to the vehicle that has me feeling that I pay more for what it is. As a current Hyundai owner, I can vouche that I never have any problems with my car. In fact, it is the most reliable one I've owned so far. I just love how Hyundai hid the rear wiper for a cleaner look. That's a luxury car level of detail. I can go on about the technology. It's just unheard of in the segment. That's what I appreciate about the brand. It's so innovative. Which can be out of the norm for those who are afraid to step outside the box from their cookie-cutter world.

I have the 2025 Tucson Ultimate Hybrid, there are 2 things they could change 1) if your battery dies and you use the reset button there is no way to lock the doors while the car is charging, 2) Bluelink app drains the battery I had the car for 3 weeks and was back at the dealer to turn off this feature because the Bluelink drained my battery. Besides these 2 things the car is great and the drive is very smooth. I hope they fix the Bluelink app with the car.

Other manufacturers including Toyota put turn signals in the bumper y'all are acting like it's something new. Also the rear seats in the Tucson recline quite a bit. 😊

[@edranft4071]

And the turn signals are very bright LEDs, so you will notice them despite the lower location.

I really like your way of reviewing cars it's different, but special ❤ keep it 👏⭐

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.

does it make that loud beep beep sound that the 2024 model makes?

TBH, I've been renting a Tuscon for a few months now with probably now 15K miles as an Uber driver, and I can't do anything but suggest against this car for rideshare. Yes, I hear customers rave about it's looks and comfort. I also like the heated front seats. However, the car has some problems that make it an absolute NO for any Uber driver. For one, the back seat doors are hard to close. I can't tell you how many customers I've had to make some excuse for the doors, 'they're a bit tweeky, you'll have to slam them to close them'. The doors won't close like a normal door. You have to slam them shut, but then slamming them shut just closes them, if that makes sense. Number two - the acceleration on this vehicle is absolutely abysmal. I mean - it's terrible. Perhaps it's just my particular car? It's a 2023 Tuscon, not a 2025 though. In Florida, where I live, I've literally almost gotten in accidents trying to merge onto freeways because the damn acceleration is so bad. Number 3 - turn radius. This car's turn radius absolutely sucks. I don't think I've had another car with such a bad turn radius before. It makes any street u-turns turn into 3-point turns (if you can manage even that). Finally, and worst of all, is this car's gas mileage. I looked at the car's last trip (From the previous renters). It had a combined 59K miles and an average MPG of 27. From my own experience, the car averages around 30-31 freeway miles and an abysmal 19-25 around town. For this last reason alone, I couldn't recommend this car to any Uber driver. Skip this car if you plan to use it for Uber. You're just doing yourself a disservice.

In defense of the CRV hybrid, the base model has a lot of features (including a moonroof) compared to the RAV4 and Tucson hybrids. I’m someone a bit more paranoid however, and not having a spare tire is a major turndown even though the Tucson hybrid and PHEV was a very impressive car when I test drove the 2024 models

[@lawdog516]

I couldn’t agree more, no spare is a deal breaker for me

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

But you still can't get a panoramic roof on any trim of the CR-V. At least Hyundai gives you an option of a moonroof or panoramic roof. The same is true for Rav4. No seat ventilation. No full digital dash. No HUD. And you get the most tiniest infotainment screen in the segment. 7inches! Honda is overpriced for what it is. Even Toyota stepped their technology up on the Rav4. Mind you, it's getting a redesign next year. This means Honda will be lagging once again to stay competitive in the segment.

Nice review! Waiting on my limited hybrid to show up

[@BeeGee-n9t]

​@@lawdog516 I got a spare tire negotiated in with the Tuscon deal, just take out the foam insert. there is plenty of room for the donut spare plus jack and and the air pump as well, it all goes under the lowest cover setting in the rear. The jacking areas under the car can be found in the online manual from Hyundai for the standard Tuscon, I have had this Hybrid for about 6 months and it has no flaws and is great on road trips, now averageing about 35 hwy/city, it quiet and has a smooth ride. I drove both the Rav and CRV and neither compares to the features and options available on the Tuscon. You will appreciate the warrenty 5/60 and PT 100k and the 36k N/C maintenence included.

[@nnayfeh]

CRV Hybrid also doesn't come with a spare tire... I think that's only on the RAV4.

[@bethjankowski-ph6mq]

Thanks great review! My husband is thinking about purchasing one!!

[@dwnshft]

@@bethjankowski-ph6mq he has my blessing 🤝

[@rockhard99]

Nice review...

[@EathonMoses]

Do it have navigation

[@digitaldoc100]

Should make an N version with the 2.5T. Can't get excited about what they made.

[@MrStranger1944]

Let me add some more cons: Piano black everywhere which will easily scratch, dangerous non-functioning rear autobrake technology as proven by IIHS tests, and bad keyfob design.

[@kinnyjv1]

The audio system is bad . The rear speakers aren’t as loud as your front speakers they sound very low. That’s with every trim.

[@bethjankowski-ph6mq]

What trim level is this one?

[@dwnshft]

@@bethjankowski-ph6mq limited if I’m remembering correctly

[@dwnshft]

Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Tucson or RAV4?

Weren’t you linking that charger down below?

En hiver au Canada l’autonomie électrique est pratiquement inexistante et ce n’est pas deux moteur électrique il n’y a qu’un seul moteur l’autre étant un générateur. A déconseiller, pas bon.
