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

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@MAinWSPA]

Thanks!

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thank you so much!!

[@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 I really didn’t want my 2023 model to look outdated.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.

A very thorough and easy to understand review presented on the model changes. Looking forward to the launch of 2025 model in India👍🏼 A minor feedback for future videos - the camera seemed to be shaking a lot in the initial 10 mins, making the viewing on larger TV bit discomforting.

2024 hybrid does not support user keys settings, so wife and husband cannot have the car pre set the seat settings before getting in

Excellent review

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thank you!

[@oceanwavez]

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

[@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. 😅😂😊

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.

[@viviandeju6884]

​@@albertsouchet3551hahaha couldn't agree more. The 2024 is doing too much for me and is overwhelming. The 2025 is beautiful and simple

[@RyanDoonan]

Love the Hyundai tucson definition the limited trim and can find some certified pre owned ones at some good prices

[@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.

[@antoniorios8180]

[@douglasmckay4678]

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

I have 2024 and I love it

[@KhushalBorad42]

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

[@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!

Wish they would have the Pecan interior!

[@stephsjamn]

Still driving a 2012 limited which I love. It’s roomier doesn’t have all the updated technology but I’ll take it over these newer models. What happened to the door compartments on newer vehicles? I have much more space/storage all through my 2012 at 105k

[@googleuser211]

[@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.....

[@yolandaharris9842]

I think the control buttons on the 2025 is not visually appealing. I like the look of the 2024 model.

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.

[@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.

It does not. It can be added after the fact if you wish with very slight modification.

There is one serious defect in the 2023 models and after checking to see if it exists in newer models it does!… The side windows does not clear when lowering! This causes blind spots !!! I’ve owned and driving many cars throughout my life and have never come scratched as this!! Having said that I’d like to stress my disappointment in hyunday changing they’re sleek integrated dash unique to them alone, fir this new interior cheap tray like dash..

[@henrikhook.]

Hopefully the 2025 Hyundai Tucson will be better in every way than the 2024 model. 🤔

[@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.

[@spock7of961]

They are discounting the 2024 Limited hybrid and the difference in price is $2000 less than the 2025 limited hybrid..What do you think is the 2025 worth $2000 more than the 2024?

[@shellykastler37]

Literally JUST bought the ‘24 Hybrid SEL last night. Was thinking I had some “buyer’s remorse” that I didn’t go for the ‘25… but after watching a few comparison videos and seeing reviews here, I would say the ‘24 is the better choice and not worth losing out on the advantage as a buyer helping to clear a dealer’s ‘24s…they are motivated, which worked in our favor.

[@lilylove01]

Back side by side with turned on turn signals missed. Too many words, it's better to show the difference side by side.

[@lisa.ann.k.4]

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.

[@Stevelpaso]

I agree that at this price, there should be power folding side-view mirrors

@@viviandeju6884 Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm the car right behind them at the light. Maybe I'm a new driver, not really trained to look that low... It's the placement of it and this is one of the things why I don't like the brand.

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.
