2024 Vs 2025 Tucson detailed comparison on interior and exterior

2024 Vs 2025 Tucson detailed comparison on interior and exterior

[@HeyItsRich]

One thing that drives me crazy on newer cars (not just Hyundai, a lot of companies do it) is adding an LED package but leaving some lights as traditional incandescent bulbs.

[@doolanbrian]

Would be nice if the rear indicators were LED, but I suppose it’s all down to cost !

[@kobymile5453]

Best side by side comparison

[@doolanbrian]

Well I appreciate the positive comment !! Thank you for watching

[@johndillon1226]

Thank you Brian, I knew you would do a full report on the new Tucson and you did not disappoint. Really great review. Appreciate you taking the time.

[@doolanbrian]

Appreciate you watching as always John, good to hear from you!

[@palbon2236]

Only Fitzpatricks with Brian Doolan can give an unbiased & informative review on the cars reviewed, plus the Irish lilt is best, consequently I have bought 2 new Hyundai cars on his comparison site, I only wish I was in Ireland & not England to buy my next car, Well done!!! Fitzpatricks

[@doolanbrian]

🤣🤣🤣 hey thanks a mill for your time and for watching and the lovely comment !! I appreciate it !!

[@barrythomas9571]

I have just bought one, delivery in November, the explanation you have given here has helped a lot. Its given me a better understanding re the vehicle and what I can expect and how everything works. So thank you for the video.

[@doolanbrian]

Hey that’s cool 🤙 thank you for watching ! I appreciate it !

[@teerana44]

Thank you I pick up my new one on Thursday I'm 60 it looked complicated but your video is amazing 👏

[@doolanbrian]

Thanks for watching !! It’ll be no bother to ya if your only 60 !! 🙂🙂

[@michaelforristal5224]

Does anyone think the rear indicators on the Tucson are too low down? Would they not be more visible if integrated with the stop lights making them more obvious to following road users! Beautiful car otherwise and great review as always.

[@doolanbrian]

Thanks for watching Michael, it’s a common comment on the Internet, but we never seem to get anyone talking about it when they visit the show room, people used to make the same comment on land cruiser back in 2003 when we used to see them brand-new🙂 thanks for watching Michael.

[@davel9359]

Frustrates the hell out of me tbh. Can see no reason why they couldn’t be fitted in the rear light cluster area. On one of the owners groups, a guy in the States modded his so they were up there but the issue was whether it invalidated his warranty.

[@michaelforristal5224]

​@@davel9359especially when they moved the front indicators on this 2025 model. The other issue with the rear indicators is the amount of dirt that gathers on the rear bumper obscuring the light lenses. In fairness Brian does a great job with his online reviews but I think Hyundai have missed the whole safety issue with low down indicators.

[@davel9359]

@@michaelforristal5224exactly that. In heavy traffic, whilst people shouldn’t drive too close to you, I think they’re obscure, particularly difficult for an HGV driver to see. These facelift ones look even lower to me but that’s probably an optical illusion.

[@doolanbrian]

@@davel9359 I’ve seen people using aftermarket LED strips that are indicators on certain vehicles maybe that’s what he was trying

[@shaneosullivan5173]

Great review I’ve the 221 executive plus hybrid in white love it especially the fact that it’s automatic and the sport mode I use for overtaking it’s so nippy!

[@doolanbrian]

That’s a fine car you have and they are holding value very well in Hybrid👍

[@GregMattson]

Great video Brian, love the new Tucson interior and dashboard.

[@doolanbrian]

Thank you for watching as always, Greg!

[@davel9359]

For me, the old dash is the worst thing about our NX4 from a safety perspective. I like the addition of a HUD as well. Now have to convince my wife it’s the time to chop ours in.

[@doolanbrian]

@@davel9359 I haven’t seen a heads up display on the Irish versions yet, but we only have one vehicle so far🙂

[@davel9359]

@@doolanbrian ah, I’m in England. Could be trim dependent, but have the ultimate currently and it looks to be a feature on the facelift here. Mind you, we can’t get a diesel.

[@doolanbrian]

@@davel9359 Yes , the UK stopped diesel in 2021 ?? You get a petrol non hybrid as one option, we dont get that !

[@shue143]

Thanks Brian for an excellent presentation. I am considering updating my 22 Tucson Executive to 24 version. I'm a little disappointed that the 24 model still has no LED Booth bar. No LED headlights and finally the very low positioning of indicators is giving me a reason to pause in my decision

[@bocdonnybrook]

great vid as always Brian. Have a 21 exec + hybrid amd and a great car. 10k more now for same spec 😢 with less hp. Ouch

[@doolanbrian]

Price is gone up unfortunately but the horsepower should be the same?

[@catrionalennon804]

Can you do a comparison on diesel manual versions please

[@grasho]

Great video, thank you very much. I've been waiting so long for more details on the facelift. I have few questions, if you are able to answer them: 1. Is it true that on the facelift the rear doors have soft-touch material instead of just plastic like on the old model? 2. Is the size of the arm-rest storage the same? Would it be possible to re-use my storage tray for the facelift? 3. For HEV/PHEV I have saw in an unpublished tech. specs that there is now a PTC heater that helps warming the cabin without using the ICE? Can you confirm that and add more details? 4. I saw on a video from Romania that there was something new below the foam in the trunk, there is a hole and something looking like a fan. I am not sure if it's only for hybrids or for the top-line models, but could you check for that also? 5. Again, for PHEV - in a Czech user manual there is a mention about a Li-po 12V battery (explicitly for PHEV). I know that the old model uses a standard 12V car battery. Could you check if there are differences in that regard? Sorry for so many questions and thank you in advance in case you are able and have time to address some of them.

[@doolanbrian]

Thanks for watching ! Questions 1 and 2 I can examine visually tomorrow when we open , questions 3/4/5 I may not be able to address unless we have been sent and update from the manufacturer but so far we have no training available !!

[@grasho]

@@doolanbrian Thanks. I believe 4 and 5 can be examined if you have a PHEV available and visually check under the foam.

[@doolanbrian]

@@grasho sorry yes you are correct but the problem is I won’t have a plug-in for about two weeks so I can come back to you then if that’s alright. Only have Hev in stock right now.

[@doolanbrian]

Ok Q1 facelift has different material on rear door , there is a small edge, where the plastic seems softer but nothing significant Q2 arm rest storage is shorter from front to rear but wider than the previous model .. the depth is similar .. but yes dimensions differ

[@doolanbrian]

Ok question 3 ... i dont have training on so i cant answer it... question 4 appears to be an ADAS parking ECU with a fan but only on PHEV.. again i have no training on this so i cant elaborate unfortunately and question 5 , i checked the part numbers between a new one and a 2021 PHEV and they still show the same part numbers so i cant elaborate there.

[@AntonDanilchenko]

Thank you for comparison. Maybe you have a video for new Tucson in a base trim? Want to see how different is the instrumental screen on the entry level model

[@doolanbrian]

I sure do kzbin.info/www/bejne/lancfH2patCZn7ssi=WYj8okGtYOZTzCoS 🙂👋

[@AntonDanilchenko]

@@doolanbrian I love you man. Thank you. Wonderful. In Ukraine we have this cars to be delivered only in few months. So your videos are helping me to prepare for the right decision. Now considering between new Tucson, new VW Tiguan and Nissan Qashqai. Did you try all of them yet? I’ve two kids and need a bit bigger, but not a huge car. I love modern things, it’s why I love changes that new Tucson took from its small brother Sportage. And hope that Sportage will do something even cooler very soon. So so many things happening around

[@doolanbrian]

@@AntonDanilchenko thank you for watching, and I appreciate the kind words! Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Volkswagen or Nissan as we don’t sell them here, but I’m glad the video was helpful !

[@johnnymaguire4297]

Lovely new facelift. Do you have an automatic diesel or just manual?

[@doolanbrian]

Engine specs seem identical , manual diesel, automatic petrol hybrid, automatic plug-in petrol hybrid, thanks for watching Johnny

[@Creativess90]

Overall dct is available with diesel in HP with 48V in europe And petrol is available with MT as well, but depends on each nation PT strategy…

[@doolanbrian]

@@Creativess90 you are correct. The last time we had the automatic version in diesel was 2022, and as you say it was Dct with 48 V mild hybrid technology

[@johnnymaguire4297]

Thanks. I have the 2022 diesel automatic and would have a look at one of these if they were available.

[@doolanbrian]

@@johnnymaguire4297 if you want to stay auto in ireland , hybrid is the only option 👍🙂

[@jrricafrente8531]

The front exterior of the 2024 still looks better in my opinion.

[@darktinx]

Thank you! I got a 2024 one and the 2025 looks really good just that I like my key fob better the new one looks childish for me like if it’s for a toy

[@doolanbrian]

I think the older fob is probably easier to use and store👍

[@BrunoCot]

nice comparison, only you did it with 2 different versions. For example, the older version you showed does not have a 360° camera(mine has it), it was present in the highest version. Same for blind spot cameras. The doors now seem less well finished. The higher version has 2 memory seat buttons in the door, and in the old version nicely integrated, the new one has the buttons glued on. The steering wheel of the new version is soulless, the older version had 4 nice spokes. The top spec version of the previous model also had digital temperature control at the back. The previous one also had the dashed stripe in the seat and also has adaptive cruise control, mine has it. Of course they have improved things like the head up display that you did not mention. The larger rear wiper. Instead of 2 x 10.5 inch displays, there are now 2 x 12 inch displays together. The wireless android auto is a great upgrade but should be tested, mine is bad with a dongle, perfect with wire... I have been driving the previous model for a month now and I certainly do not think it is any less good. The interior was unique, now it looks too much like a Kona. But thanks for bringing them next to each other, was great to see.

[@doolanbrian]

In Ireland, these are the two same specifications, the model you spoke about is not available in our country so both models featured in the video are called executive plus in Ireland, we never had a 360° camera in this country before this month on Tucson , I’m guessing you are United Kingdom or Canada or America?

[@philipsauers4987]

I have a 2022. Love it's wing lighted grill. DO NOT like this new grill and lights. Also DO NOT like the dash or center arm rest. It hasn't been 5 years and they've changed it ALREADY??? New model ABS sounds bad. The big dual camera screen is a distraction. The steering wheel looks to be "cheapened". Rear turn signals seem lower. SMH. When something looks good; changing so soon makes people wonder why.

[@colinjefferies4072]

Will the N-Version be out on sale for the launch date?

[@shue143]

The fact Hyundai didn't change the positioning of rear indicators to a higher position beside the Tail lights for example is a big disappointment from a safety point of view. Two more observation why haven't they included the LED bar on booth door on all models. Remember Hyundai are in stiff competition with Toyota and Peugeot and others And finally why didnt they install LED headlight on all models so we can see better on dark unlight roads at night. Most other cross overs have LED headlights.

[@doolanbrian]

I see people asking about the indicators a lot on line but strangely enough, we don’t get that comment at dealership level, …. The rear LED bar is only on the top two models, i’m guessing it’s a cost thing but I really can’t be sure.. the good news is the new models all have LED front lighting, and then the top two models have intelligent LED lighting🙂

[@mr.b.3633]

Why the faded Hyuandai logo at the back... the previous one looking better

[@doolanbrian]

On newer model it’s it’s as part of the window but it is underneath the window so the tinted glass makes it look darker

[@wildeman170]

Bar the rear indicator I think Hyundai has knocked it out of the park

Piano black on the door trims.....now which genius came up with this idea. This is like eating a soup and hoping that the spoon will stay dry. These piano trims get scratched by just looking at them, imagine their condition after 6 months of daily use. Terrible idea and i hope thats optional
