New 2025 Hyundai Tucson is more important than you think!

[@fenrirslip]

Hyundai is basically the brand that sort of kickstarted/revitalized the bumper headlights and they've basically embraced this design and it has become part of their design DNA. As a result, it just works for them. Whereas, with other brands, the bumper headlights can be hit or miss in my opinion.

[@ChunkyBunny2]

Personally, I love the trend. I can’t think of one single car redesigned to have bumper headlights that looks better with the “normal” headlight placement EXCEPT for the BMW 7 series, but that car is just hideous in general.

[@fenrirslip]

@@ChunkyBunny2 Bumper headlights work better on SUVs all things considered. But it depends on the SUV really. The Ferrari Purosangue is an example of them looking good, whereas the BMW X7 is questionable.

[@ChrisJones-cn1ew]

Jeep Cherokee did it first but I agree Hyundai and now Chevy have revitalized this design feature.

[@generic9777]

Many cars with split headlights would imo just look better with them placed normally. But some of Hyundai's designs are the few that I don't mind, because they just look like they're meant to be there.

[@waynewynnx7976]

Hyundai started their bumper headlights design with the Palisade model if I'm not mistaken, it was a very interesting design when it came out

[@MrRicearonie]

Love how the update makes the Santa Cruz look. While I never liked how the original front end looked on it, I feel like it works better on the Tucson than then new one

[@diniconights]

I personally think that the steering wheel is a step back the old one looks very good and fitting for the car

[@noahsemyonov]

this updated hyundai tucson has been on sale in south korea for months now..

[@nofollowers_dc4009]

It alingns it more to the rest of the line-up but the old one looks better

[@dr.norbertmittwollen3253]

Definitely. I am So glad and happy to get the pre-facelift even with a good discount as such. And drives heavenly.

[@LaurinKramer]

10:28 Sadly that aren’t just reverse lights but also the indicators down there. I wonder if they now made them even smaller or placed them somewhere in the upper part with the facelift?

[@kaansayilikan01]

I think bumper indicators must be illegal. They look awful also they're not visible, especially when they're right in front of you. I experienced one time and I almost hit him from behind.

[@digitalkov]

Consipiracy to sell more parts.. Haha Increasing HyunKia recent designs place headlight/taillight on the lower corner of bumpers, which is a terrible spot for part that can cost several hundreds of dollars..

[@maxfic]

The body color cladding is only on the N line models

[@CarsandTechInfo]

They should include it on the Limited trim for the gas, hybrid, & plug-in hybrid models too bc that would make the exterior for those trims look 10x better

[@ANathan123]

I like the updates. I have a 2023 Tucson so it’s nice to know that I didn’t miss out on too much with the facelift. I also have a lower trim so I still have the physical buttons and knobs for the climate control

[@kaansayilikan01]

Thanks Hyundai, I hope other brands go back to physical buttons like Hyundai.

[@larsroug]

the former dashboard reminds me of the first Toyota Previa from the 90ties. good to see that they changed the dashboard

[@crouchb15]

aww man it went back to the floating screen

[@sambeaumont395]

It is a very good idea to take the rear wiper and hide it under the spoiler - but then putting your logo in the exact same spot the wiper would be fastened kind of undoes it.

[@krane15]

One of the few ideas that not based on trend.

[@themuffincat]

Love the look of this car

[@pharaohcooks]

i absolutely love how every major car company is now copying Mercedes dual-screen setup from like 15 years ago. Goes to show Mercedes was way ahead of their time.

[@manuelnoriega5364]

Would say the same about Hyundai camera in the dash whenever the driver wants to take a turn

[@jquinones7683]

​@@manuelnoriega5364 I might be wrong but I think Honda did it first. Where they had one camera the right mirror

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

​@jquinones7683 It was on their infotainment screen. Not in the guage cluster. And Honda camera quality was grainy and only used for right turns. Hyundai execute way better than Honda.

[@DanilotheMD]

With the exception of BMW: dual screen looks like an afterthought. Not integrated. The lack of HVAC buttons/dials and easy access for changing drive modes is atrocious.

[@jeffs6090]

Yet, most every company is doing the dual screen setup way better. Mercedes still has the same horrible 1 inch black border all around the image. When every other device you have, the image goes either very close to or right up on the edge of the monitor, Mercedes is severely lacking in their screen tech.

[@RodGardner]

Wondering if this new set up will be coming to the UK

[@bohomazdesign725]

They fixed the front. It looks way more aggressive now. Well done.

[@spol1622]

Yes, N Line gets the body color fenders as well as blacked out window trim. XRT gets the traditional fender cladding along with the blacked out window trim.

[@엠제이-y3p]

Should check out that new genesis concept

[@DoubleHCreations]

Honestly I think the new Hyundai Tucson looks pretty great. I personally prefer the simplistic look on the current Volkswagen Jetta, but the Tucson looks nice.

[@brianx1808]

I really like this new design. I hope they fixed the theft problem.

[@wolfshanze5980]

This is EXACTLY the kind of bad reporting that causes confusion. The "Hyundais being stolen" story is... wait for it... about 10 year old and older Hyundais. The ones that are easy to steal are like 2014-ish year models. Hyundai hasn't had a CURRENT model theft problem in a long, long time... the problem was FIXED YEARS AGO.... the thing is, people in 2023-2024 figured out how to steal things like 2014 Hyundais easily, so the problem is reported currently, but it's really about very old cars.

[@davids1816]

They made the front more square and blocky. The switched to the new corporate HVAC and infotainment. That's all. No new motors or mechanicals. The previous interior was a piano black nightmare so this is an improvement, but very very minor.

[@wolfshanze5980]

This is a "face-lift" not a major redesign.

[@Creativess90]

Wheel garnishes in body color are nline version. Same as current tucson nline logic version & Non nline are in black (embo black) Also in case of nline - DLO is in black, O/S mirrors BLACK too. otherwise in SATIN/CHROME. so you are comparing wrong models. But anyway nice comparision. Thanks for it

[@koblih69]

I'm waiting for my Tucson, should get it in a month at the latest. What I like about the facelift is the use of non-touch buttons for the air conditioning and also the placement of the LCD displays. Unfortunately the steering wheel is a big step backwards and the dash looks more like something out of an off road. Fortunately my Tucson will still be in the old design.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

The wiper has always been hidden. Just look at the pre-facelift model. It's staring at his face while comparing the pre-facelift to the refresh.🤦🏾‍♂️

[@alex99398]

I like the pre-facelift Tucson...you can notice this vehicle from a mile away and in your rear view mirror with the distinct DRL signature. I would agree, the front now is a bit clearner but the interior is more to my liking now. Having buttons is not bad and Hyundai did it well this time around... I would go with the hybrid personally for the added horsepower and improved fuel efficiency..

[@downhillgroovy]

I was one of the first owners of the 2022 tucson and i got it because it had so much more premium style over other small suvs brands. This one seems like it went join the sheeple mode. The one improvement i see is the rear bumper area. Its a little tedious washing the bumpy diamonds on the back 😅

[@terrifoster222]

I much prefer the headlights of the 2024 model

[@applebobb1]

The Tucson Hybrid is very quiet , quietest in the class since 2022. Huge upgrade from 2021 and earlier.

[@stefan2292]

I just ordered the 2025 Hybrid Limited, with all the bells and whistles. Compared carefully with RAV4 and CR-V. Made my choice based on value-for-money. Discounted known reliability issues. Frankly, I don't care about the exterior. Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Mazda, etc. all look like what they are: compact SUVs. Inside, the nasty capacitive switches are gone, and there are four real knobs: that's a big plus. My only worry right now is: when will I get the car? The dealer has no idea.

[@middler5212]

Jeep was the first company I remember with the lowered headlight position and drls above. But Hyundai was soon to follow.

[@DCmcshiels]

The interior of the prior model year looked higher end

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

Definitely agree. It was/is a beautiful design Though the new iteration has more functional elements.

[@l24dmarks]

I don't really get all the fuzz about touch sensitive buttons - on Tucson they work great - they are responsive, easy to find etc. Also, physical button has to be of good quality just to be passable, which you really can't take for granted in cars.

[@caskraker]

The current model is much better. Outside and inside. They ruined the great unique design.

[@Monk7uvi]

I have a hybrid Limited 2022. This car is fun to drive, easy handling, great visibility, great interior space. It has a smooth ride I even like more than BMW X5 and rav4 & more cars. Only things I don't like is the car dealers and it's insurance price. Otherwise this is 4.5/5 stars car from my side.

[@FH11alb]

I like them both

[@hskrgrad]

I really want to like this SUV and have considered buying it a couple of times now. I just can't get past the ridiculous way everything comes to an abrupt point in the front driver and passenger doors. It looks terrible. Its also extremely angular in nature and then there is this weird round hump over the front wheel arches. I just can't get on board with it. I do think the new front and rear ends are much improved and the same goes for the interior. Also like that they went away from the plastic in favor of body color and got rid of the shiny chrome. They just need to figure out those side profiles...for me at least.

[@krane15]

The front-end is just too busy. There's just too many segments between the grill and the light. Reminds me of a spider eyes. Pick one or the other, but not both. On the bright side, I love those masculine hunches around the wheel wells and the hard crease at the belt-line. However, I don't like those hard angled lines on the door. That's where they departed away from the curves and went too far. At least they got the logo right and put it on the grill, not the hood. The wheels are all wimpy, just like those from VW. Both wheels/tire and brakes are always the clear sign not to take the vehicle too seriously. Finally, I can't stand those trendy pointed rear quarter windows that serve no useful purpose. They're not attractive and only reduce much needed visibility out the rear. I prefer linear lines at the greenhouse for maximum visibility and improved styling.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

I fell asleep reading this rant. 😴

[@jameslong4453]

Hope they have a better choice of colors. The rear turn signal should be moved up.

[@kdoodoo]

They should have deleted that random chrome in C-pillar.

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

I happen to love it. It’s not a shiny chrome but a brushed aluminum. It’s really one of the more prominent design elements of the vehicle. I can understand how some people wouldn’t necessarily be into it though.

I think it’s neat how Hyundai is normalizing some of the features they introduced with the Ioniq 5 EV in their ICE vehicles to help the ev lose some of its stigma of being weird or different.

[@gariusjarfar1341]

I've owned the last 3 models of Tucson, it's my experience that in late 2024, Hyundai will bring out a completely new model, superseding the facelift of the current model. It will be hybrid as standard and look nothing like the facelift!

[@wolfshanze5980]

Well your experience has failed you then. Sorry, Hyundai has a long and PREDICTABLE redesign history with the Tucson, and your prediction is completely out of touch with what Hyundai actually does. Hyundai redesigns the Tucson every 3 years... it costs a company a LOT of money to redesign a vehicle, and Hyundai does these redesigns in distinct 3 year cycles. For example... 2013, 2014, 2015... identical Tucsons 2016, 2017, 2018... identical Tucsons 2019, 2020, 2021... identical Tucsons 2022, 2023, 2024... identical Tucsons We were due a redesign for 2025, and this is it... hence... 2025, 2026, 2027... identical Tucsons. According to your experience, you think... 2022, 2023, 2024... identical Tucsons 2025... a one-off, disregard 2026, major redesign. Ya, sorry, no... what you see here is it for Tucson changes until 2028 model year.

Buttons that are integrated under the console are still buttons even though they don't stick up - they are not touch screen elements they are still buttons just flat touch. Don't understand the need for the ugly buttons and the hazard light indicator in the 2025 that's an eye sore. I do get the need for a volume knob though.

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

@@krane15 I don't have a problem with the infotainment system It's the best one out there, it's their stupid decisions made by some penny pinching marketing person who says we can save 15 seconds and $1 if we remove a gear selection switch (which they had to put additional switches up near the windscreen anyway) so it hasn't saved them any money, it just makes the simple task of changing gears a slower task which can be dangerous if you need to change gears quickly, ok remove the lever to keep the steering wheel look clean, but put the physical gear change switch down where it has been in every car for the las 100years, it's simply change for the sake of change it doesn't improve the driving experience or make it safer, why change something when it isn't broken

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

The new interior really lost its mojo. There isn’t any character in the refresh and it has a much less premium look. Everyone is coming out with the dual panoramic screens so that makes it look even more mainstream. Still much better than the current CR-V or RAV4 interiors though along with everyone else with the possible exception of Mazda.

[@krane15]

Mazda makes no pretense that its moving its cars to a higher tier with its upgraded materials and features.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

Mazda still uses a physical guage cluster and no touch screen unless the car is not moving. A driving dynamic car, but a little behind on technology. When you have Gen Z families dominating the industry, that is important to them....technology!
