2025 Hyundai Tucson's New Mug and Desktop-Like Dash Shown in U.S. Spec

• The 2025 Hyundai Tucson receives a facelift and interior makeover that were first previewed late last year on the Europe-market version.

• The Tucson gets a new grille with larger illuminated elements, and the dash is now available with two 12.3-inch screens sharing a single glass panel.

• Hyundai's compact SUV also offers a new column shifter, more physical buttons, and—finally—wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on higher trims.

Since the current generation of the Hyundai Tucson debuted for the 2022 model year, it has easily been one of the most distinctive compact SUVs on the road—rivaled only by its corporate counterpart, the Kia Sportage. Now, Hyundai has decided it's time to refresh the Tucson with a new mug and a revamped interior, one that boasts a set of screens that might look similar to a desktop.

Let Us See Your Grille

While we've already seen the European version of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson that was revealed last November, we now have details about the U.S.-spec lineup. Along with new wheel designs as well as restyled front and rear bumpers, the facelifted Tucson refines its eye-catching grille by making the elements larger and subsequently reducing the amount of individual daytime running lights from 10 to eight. There are also new anodized aluminum exterior badges, the rear wiper blade grows three inches longer, and the XRT model gains raised bridge-like roof rails.

As before, the Tucson comes with a standard 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. There's also the choice of a 231-hp hybrid powertrain or a 268-hp plug-in-hybrid setup. Both variants come standard with all-wheel drive, and drivers can now choose between different levels of regenerative braking. Hyundai is also introducing three new drive-mode settings. Along with the individually adjustable My Drive, Baby mode helps provide smoother acceleration and Green Zone is aimed at optimizing the PHEV's electric-only mode.
