2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited vs 2025 Tucson Limited | Differences Explained!

[@ozzzy3z946]

I have watched hundreds of car reviews. This review is by far the most thorough and useful. Amazing job!

[@kencairns532]

I love that you take the time to show still pics of both dashboards for instant comparison. As always, your thorough research is accurate and organized. Your passion for cars is always on display!! 🙌 Best, Ken

[@albertsouchet3551]

I’ve had both and the updates on the 25 overall make this great vehicle so much better. Totally recommend the 25

[@MAinWSPA]

Thanks!

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thank you so much!!

[@MAinWSPA]

What a great, easy to follow, well done video.

[@softailer2000]

Glad I bought a 2024 Tucson Limited a month ago. I like the look of the interior (Dash and console) much better than the 2025. Great vehicle.

[@grotemensenman]

Same here.

[@MachinTruc-d2m]

Moi pareil.

[@wildeman170]

I just picked up my 25 and love the interior. More tech feels more spacious and designed a lot better

[@illsearlier]

Yea me too! 2024 interior is sooo slick! 2025 does seem to have more storage but the look is a huge downgrade in my opinion.

[@illsearlier]

Plus I love the lower cross bars on the steering wheel of the 2024 model. Compatible with my hand placement preference when I'm driving casually.

[@FordEnthusiast413]

Thanks for this very comprehensive review. I am currently leasing a 2023 Tucson Limited and love it! Nice to see Hyundai improving this already great SUV. If I do not decide to get an Ioniq 5 in 2 years when my lease is up I will definitely lease another Tucson Limited, perhaps the hybrid one!!

[@XpR74]

We have a 24 phev in white with gray interior we got in march it’s great we can plug it in at night to get 40 miles of straight ev and we can use the 40 miles on straight ev or use a hybrid so it’ll switch between gas and electric or use it full and when it runs out the engine is still a hybrid engine so you don’t pay slot on gas and you can charge at the mall and stuff

[@geckotek]

@@FordEnthusiast413 I WANT that Ioniq 5! Unfortunately the wife doesn’t agree and charging in Manhattan is still a pain.

Thank you so much for all the comparisons. This was very helpful and very detailed. This has made it very easy for me to make a decision. Thanks for your hard work in creating this video

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I am so glad it helped you make your decision! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@bradmichael1373]

A very informative video, as always. Looking forward to the hybrid. The 2025 changes make a very compelling car!

[@rockhard99]

Wow...those features...you name it, we have it!!!

[@PaulStephenson-lf2dw]

Nice job on the comparison. As a 2023 Tucson owner, I am glad the exterior upgrades were minor. I really didn’t want my 2023 model to look outdated. However, the interior refresh is very nice. I like the two 12.3” screens on the dash, the floating center console and the additional storage below the console and the passenger side dashboard. Some of the new colors are nice. (Green and Bronze) Overall, a very nice refresh for the 2025 model year.

[@michaelgarvin8621]

Good video and good comparison 👍👍

[@markburke2224]

My 2022 Tucson hybrid has a back-up warning beep that is very loud and annoying. Do you know if Hyundai made it any quieter for the 2025 model?

[@jgriffin411]

Geez, prices keep going up & up. At 40k this is now the same price as my fully loaded 2020 Santa Fe. And the new '24 SF is 10k more at 50k (YIKES!).

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Believe it or not it's a couple hundred dollars more than a 2020 Santa Fe 2.0T Limited (Which was fully loaded at the time).

[@kdbumkin]

I have been thinking about trading my 2021 Santa Fe Calligraphy for the Tucson but since I only have 21k miles and still have the new car smell I just cant do it and this video has been really helpful on making a decision. I am going hang onto mine for another couple of years. Other than some upgraded tech toys I just don't feel the switch is worth it. Excellent comprehensive video. Thanks!

[@oceanwavez]

The only thing I like better in the '25 is the addition of knobs.

[@jehlyn15]

I have 2024 and I love it

[@KhushalBorad42]

Absolutely, same. They messed up whole interior in 25.

[@igi_igi]

What is the minimum clearance of the 2024 Tucson model?

[@ashton6637ify]

[@SallySharif-b4j]

The interior design of 2024 is more elegant than that of 2025

[@mpshields]

AGREED! 😍

[@albertsouchet3551]

I’ve had both and I couldn’t disagree more. Not saying that the 24 is bad but I prefer the 25. The curve screen and the buttons that it now has is amazing. But to each its own.

[@mpshields]

​@albertsouchet3551 IMHO 2025, the curved screen doesn't fit into the dash, like an afterthought. The 2024 air vents flow into the center console design & doors, as the two screens. Also the 2025 they placed a prominent red hazzard triangle 🔺️ too central. That said ... BOTH cars are fantastic.

[@KhushalBorad42]

Right. Looks much organized in 24 than 25.

[@douglasmckay4678]

One major difference you did not cover is the head-up display. Wish you would have shown more about it.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

You can find a little more information in the 2025 dedicated video. I've got many more videos planned but it's tough when I don't have a ton of time with the cars.

[@paulrivo4623]

very informative! worth the wait for the 2025. is there a hands free liftgate option?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Hands free liftgate comes standard with the power liftgate on SEL or higher.

[@paulrivo4623]

@@CarsMadeSimple thanks for the feedback! Once again, OUTSTANDING comparison! EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

[@PardyN2]

Is this vehicle able to do front wheel drive and turn it to AWD such as the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain? I see it has a locker but not sure if that's for something different or if that would lock it into awd. Thanks!

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Yes, the vehicle dynamically goes between FWD and AWD. This depends on driving conditions and drive mode selected. It will typically always be FWD biased even if sending power to the rear wheels also.

[@PardyN2]

@@CarsMadeSimple thank you for the info.i like the refresh!

[@CrissAndyMusic]

2024 the best

[@frederichartell7390]

Wish they would have the Pecan interior!

[@googleuser211]

14:39 that infotainment is a huge difference for me. I like those physical buttons and unified dash. Definitely, 2025 is better, thanks for sharing!

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I agree!

[@teotwawki00]

I think I'm going to get a 2025 SEL with the convenience pkg. Small sunroof and H-Tex. I prefer the older shifter style, plus the higher trim levels are outside of the budget. I would like the panoramic sunroof, but not I don't want to be in the 40s. Thanks for the great info. Nobody does a better job than you. I wish you did driving segments. That's the only thing we're missing. Thanks.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thank you! I don't believe the driving stuff is my strength so I tend to focus on what I believe I do well. If you really want the piano sunroof, you could look into an SEL Convenience Hybrid for just under $40k. This would give you 17" wheels though according to the spec sheet but you would lose the traditional shifter.

[@teotwawki00]

Well, I am the owner of a 2025 SEL convenience in Hampton Gray. 🎉 This vehicle is amazing. Thanks for all the help and information. I knew more about the changes and features than the salesman. Lol. I actually told him about your channel. 😅😂😊

[@CommissionerJen]

Curious as to why they didn't move the buttons that are in front of the cup holders to the main display area. They moved the gear shifter back to the steering wheel - they could have cleaned that whole center console up and made it button-free....

[@Stevelpaso]

I love having buttons in the 2025 Tucson Ev Limited

[@CommissionerJen]

For a gear-shift? Don't get me wrong, I prefer buttons to knobs for most everything else on a dashboard, etc., but for gear-shifting in that location? That screams "accident-waiting to happen" vibes.....

[@randyd2690]

Is there any difference in leg space for drivers? Especially since center counsel change?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I believe so with the more open console. Depends on how you drive and seating position. I feel more comfortable in the 2025 with this console.

[@kevindowney5770]

Are any of the north American hybrid models going to have power folding mirrors? I've seen this option on some of the Korean/ European models.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

No

[@Stevelpaso]

I agree that at this price power folding side view mirrors.

[@adrianciurar-horea9857]

Hi.Is posibile to instal the new infotaiment ccNc in the previous Tucson model?Cuz I tried when rolled out but didn’t worked,don’t know now.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

No

[@hd-5541]

I like everything about the 25 but not the steering wheel

[@noboringcars1227]

I like the front end, steering wheel and center control panel of the 2024 better. The 2025 front end looks like it has a fat lower lip, not very attractive. I like the modern tech of the 2025 and color options. The wheels are pretty much the same, lol. I had the 2022 Tucson ICE engine and loved it. I traded it but thinking of coming back and getting a hybrid as much for the added power as the fuel efficiency. The pairing with a turbo engine is an advantage in the Rocky Mountains and if you tow something. Both model years are total winners. I will say that the square stalk for gear selection takes getting used to. I had it on two Mercedes and ended up liking it. Making it kind of square is smart as it will keep you from confusing it for a windshield wiper stalk. I did that many times in a Mercedes. Hyundai is really upping it’s game every single year. Cars are expensive but Hyundai provides great value and comfort.

[@hughjassol2072]

Front of the 2024 is perfect

[@geckotek]

I've seen others that show no spare. Is this a US version? Is it specific to a trim?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Hybrid's will not have a spare

[@geckotek]

@@CarsMadeSimple how difficult would it be to get one for the hybrid and put it under the cargo area floor?

[@geckotek]

I think I realized the hybrid battery prevents it from fitting. 😔

[@urstrulyvenkat]

Could you please compare SEL Convenience of 2024 vs 2025?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Some of the other trims weren't quite ready for the lot but hopefully next week I can create more videos on the Tucson!

[@urstrulyvenkat]

@@CarsMadeSimple sure, thank you so much. I was going through your videos from longer time on Tucson, just need a suggestion I have few things on my mind. Should I go with SEL convenience 2024 hybrid or SEL convenience 2025 gas? As both are offering for 1.99% APR.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

That's a tough one! I really prefer the Hybrid powertrain in the Tucson for the additional power but the infotainment controls and features are not ideal. Wireless AA/AC and the physical buttons are so much better. I don't know that Hyundai will continue the low APR through when the 2025MY Hybrid arrives so it would be a risk to wait. I might be willing to chance it though even if it isn't 1.99% it would still likely be a lower rate available. It's going to come down to whether you like the Hybrid powertrain and pano sunroof enough or the update interior, technology, and additional features of 2025.

[@urstrulyvenkat]

@@CarsMadeSimple yes, but the pano sunroof is not available even in SEL Conv 2025 gas right? Probably I might have to physically see them

[@CarsMadeSimple]

@@urstrulyvenkat No, it's only on the Hybrid SEL Convenience. For 2025, the gas SEL Convenience looks exactly the same on the outside as the SEL with the addition of the small sunroof up top.

[@TnVolFan]

Are these vehicles not equipped with dual clutch transmissions that have been a nightmare. I am currently looking to buy one for my bride but I'm hearing the transmission is a major problem. Can anyone point me in right direction to debunk this theory....I have just started researching today.........

[@CarsMadeSimple]

No Tucson has the Dual Clutch Transmission currently. The 2.5L N/A engine uses an 8 speed auto and the Hybrid's use a 6 speed auto. The last Tucson to use a DCT was the 2018MY with the 1.6T engine only.

[@TnVolFan]

@@CarsMadeSimple Thank you....

[@boomme3598]

Is the N Line worth the upgrade from Limited?

So technically the N-Line is lower than the Limited in the lineup. It has noticeably less features here in the US.

That’s the one negative for me is the blinker is so low on all these cars if you’re behind them, you don’t really see it unless you’re far back. I also don’t understand why Hyundai doesn’t make power folding mirrors on this trim.
