I like the pre-facelift one more. The post-facelift details look better, but I don't like the bottom of front bumper, the overall lines don't match up or flow.

[@evanstar84]

Thank you for the review. It's a shame Hyundai didn't do anything to improve the placement of the rear turning indicators. With all the cool lighting we've seen from Hyundai lately they definitely missed an opportunity here.

[@CarSceneKorea]

Why does Hyundai not embed the rear turning signal on the red led strip.

[@kwok-keungchow800]

I am surprised that the “below behind driver vision zone turn signal” design passed DOT guidelines. Stupid, unsafe. Don’t even consider buying until that’s changed.

[@shichynwang]

The technology is better in 2025 Tucson for sure, but i like my 2023 design better. 2025 taking design cue from a truck, pre-facelift is clean, consistent and unique.

Crazy how these facelift can make a car look so much more appealing, even when the previous one was already beautiful.

[@CarSceneKorea]

I know, right? 😎

[@andrewkelley434]

They made the rear directionals even LOWER!! They need to blend them into the rear tail-lights, similar to the Kia Sorrento. It's something I have never felt comfortable with while driving my Tuscon, and since they made it lower, that's a deal breaker for me. I think it's a HUGE safety issue, as ppl's eyes are not trained to look way down low for a directional, especially if they are following close.

[@VankoDeepHouse]

Great review! I just got my pre-facelift pearl white Tucson N line and did a small 200km trip. This is my first Hyundai and I am well surprised so far. Keep up with the excellent reviews! Regards from Bulgaria!

[@CarSceneKorea]

Thanks 🇧🇬 and congrats!

[@l.e.i.4111]

I almost forget: Why putting the rear signal light on the lower side of the bumper? It doesn't make any sense especially during rush hour traffic. 🤷‍♂️ I really don't get what Hyundai wants to prove by that.

[@fijack4290]

The facelift looks amazing. I have stated since buying our 2024 Tucson that the rear turn signals should have been at eye level. Pity they didn't take the opportunity to make the change. I'm supper glad the got rid of the small instrument display in favor of a wider, integrated design.

[@CarSceneKorea]

Glad you like it! 👍

[@ANathan123]

For the prefacelift, the higher models have the headlights that blend in with the grill. The two lower models (the one you have and the step above that I have) don’t have those exact headlights. They blend in a little but not much

[@boayoon8715]

Facelift what facelift? The rear signal lights are a major flaw for this vehicle.

[@CarSceneKorea]

Hope the interior explains a little..

[@breannamcintee4527]

They aren’t actually more suvs are leaning toward that and at night they are extremely bright

[@Nicosypavlides]

My Tuscon Pluq in will be delivered next week and frankly while at the beginning I was worried that for a few months, I would lose the facelift, just by looking at the changes they have made, makes me so happy that I will be given the pre-facelift model. It is such a nice design inside and outside there is no doubt in my mind that I will get the most beautiful one.

[@CarSceneKorea]

Congrats! Great cars all of them :)

[@dfcurtin]

I like Hyundai/Kia but they come up with too many gimmicks that will be expensive to fix like the emblem in the back window and the front grill on this current model. The turn signals in the back are too low and could be a safety issue.

Indicator light on the rear bumper is wrongly positioned so low. Not clearly visible especially in close vehicle traffic jams.

Very true.

[@DefGef772]

I love the new facelift dash but would still go for the pre facelift dash.

[@seanhouslin6187]

1. Keep the 2023 base design especially the interior 2. The turning signals should have been integrated into the strip across the rear - yellow LEDs animated 3. Use multi LED headlights in the top elements of the 'angel wings' - height gives better road illumination. Leave the existing low mounted LED lights but add a fog lamp setting - no need for separate lights 4. Have a trim level where all doors have a courtesy LED light Properly spec'd, especially because of the look of the daytime running lights, the Tucson could have been an entry level Genesis

[@CarSceneKorea]

Some points overlap with the current all-new Santa Fe, maybe the reason why we don't see it on this Tucson 😵

Shame as the new interior seems much better than the pre facelift. It looks like they really didn’t know what to do with it and just added unnecessary trim to revamp it. However still a good looking car.

Remember, the pre-facelift model has a four sproke steering wheel and a diffusor while the facelift model's dashboard is just a cheap clone of the Kia Sportage's ones.

New interior 👍🏼 New exterior 👎🏼

[@CarSceneKorea]

[@gobrad]

As I said in other related videos, the changes made are slight, and only worth noting because Hyundai have gone backwards on what was a beautiful interior design, now to extreme basic!… The exterior changes are not worth noting at all, except the rear indicators, which had already been too low, now dangerously lower!! Apart from the above, they destroyed the interior, replacing the beautiful sleek dash/screen integration with a big ugly looking “tray” which is a magnet for junk!! The interior of the 2023 model swayed me from any other car in its price range as it was the best dash/screen integration I’ve ever seen on a.car! I thought Hyundai nailed it on this one, but this new change is a disaster, for that reason I will not be staying with Hyundai when changing this year!

[@CarSceneKorea]

The prefacelift came out real nice indeed :)

[@HoaNguyen-li8oy]

The interior of the new model looks great.

[@Bellajoie24]

[@MikeIsCanadian]

I prefer the older rear bumper. The turn signal location as well as the colour are better on pre-facelift.

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

I prefer the current rear bumper as well. I also like the current overall interior design better. The additional or updated tech surely is nice in the refresh though. Overall, the new Tucson makes me a bit jealous as a 2023 leasee of a Tucson Limited. I think the front fascia/grill came together MUCH better on the refresh and I really enjoyed that feature on my own vehicle. Now, I look at and wish it looked like the refresh. Darn you Hyundai!!

[@breannamcintee4527]

Same. I have a 2024 hybrid model and actually the turn signal location is perfect for the way that the vehicle is built and how it sits. Plus it’s super bright at night. Brighter than standard suv lights

[@pitsky9298]

Hyundai Kona 2017 looks way better than facelift from 2021, front of this car just got ugly vs sporty.

[@sakelp]

Big disappointment for me. Suppose a good looking car gets more "trimmed" to beat other with details! Interior looks great,flesh look. Exterior looks like nothing has changed especially on the rear end! Turn lights up should be accommodated with the rest lights. Can not understand bumper turn lights for any car !

[@CarSceneKorea]

The interior got a huge upgrade indeed.

[@jesusisoursavior2682]

i think the old version is more smoother

[@hedleythorne]

Hmmm. Not a massive fan of this update. I have the pre-facelift one (2022) and was hoping for a smarter looking vehicle after the facelift. The grille is OK but too complicated. The interior is nicer on the old one- I am not a fan of "ipad" style displays, the old one integrates the screens neatly into the dashboard. It is still a very good car, and I may stick with Hyundai, but I think I will wait until the next change.

[@CarSceneKorea]

Very well. The prefacelift interior was really sleek and flush indeed.

[@justinmusgrove2548]

Amazing. Dude, when I saw the previous model, I wouldn´t say I liked it and at the same time, I liked it because I thought it had a lot of design potential. Now it become a reality. Hyundai does it.

2024 N-Line Hybrid Tucson is far nicer on the front end then the Facelift. Having one less layer to the headlight on the Facelift makes it look like a Santa Cruz. I personally hate the Santa Cruz. Hyundai has no business making a truck…. The chunkiness of the grille of the Facelift doesn’t match the vehicle. Again, it just looks like it’s trying to look tougher than it is… It’s a family car….

[@l.e.i.4111]

The front looks better to me. It is more refined. On a contrary the tablet like dashboard ...well I am not a fan of it. I perfectly understand that display (driver on/or infotainment) get bigger and bigger but I prefer that designers could integrate them into the dashboard and mid console otherwise it may look like an aftermarket solution.

Yup, the dual display panoramic doesn’t excite the sh*t out of me either. Who wants to drive and feel like their face is stuck behind dual computer screens?
