2025 Hyundai TUCSON Hybrid consumer reviews

January 4, 2025, I purchased a 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, Limited trim. This car is a pleasure to drive and has excellent features. However, there is one feature that could prove dangerous to a driver using the cruise control. The care has a “driver attention warning system” that will disengage the cruise control if the cabin camera, located on the steering column, is inadvertently blocked. When on the highway I tend to put my hand at 11 o’clock or 1 o’clock on the steering wheel. Doing so blocks the camera and disengages the cruise control. The car slows down immediately and, when on the freeway, creates a danger from the driver behind me. The software stipulates this warning system can be turned off, but the software does not honor that option when selected. Additionally, if I am wearing sunglasses with a heavy tint, the cruise control does not stay engaged. Obviously, a very frustrating experience. I have had numerous conversations with the dealer and have had two conversations with Hyundai USA, both of which were elevated to a higher level, with no results. This appears to be a simple software fix of letting the driver select this option (turn off driver assistance) and having the car respond to this action. If this is important to you, do not buy this car.

Love the Infotainment system. Easy to navigate. Great looking car. Rides nice and is quiet. The limited trim has what you need and more. I am happy with the hybrid model. Highly recommend.

This is a great car for the money. Has many very advanced features. Are a few MINOR dislikes however. Key FOB is way too large and the backup "Key" is not part of the FOB but rather an attachment. Center console feels too high and out of place. Always pressing the buttons on it by mistake. Lighting on the HVAC temp knobs much too dim. No manual control for EV mode. No sunglass holder. Use of battery for EV mode is way too conservative. May be good for battery life but not good for mileage. These are minor flaws which could be corrected but overall I am very pleased with the car.

Driven almost 2700 miles in over month after purchase. I bought the Blue line, which is considered the base model Hybrid. This is my 1st Hyundai and hybrid.The underdog of compact SUV’s. Best value for the money compared to Toyota and Honda for what it comes with. Exterior looks, in my opinion is aggressive and I like it. Also a bit more roomier for occupants and cargo. It may have a little less mpg than those 2 but it makes up for it in HP and torque. The tech it comes with is easy to navigate and screen is responsive when navigating the menus. Apple car play and Android auto is easy to connect and use. The transition between electric and gas is fairly smooth. I am getting 37mpg so far not too far off their 38mpg claim and with a quarter tank left I get over 300+ miles. I feel that it is better in handling as well. Steering feels tighter as well. Interior feel is very good with the materials used, doesn’t feel like cheap plastic. Only gripe I have is I wish they provided air vents for the wireless charging pad and the phone holder pad on the dash. Give this SUV a chance, I have. Also has the best warranty on the market.

I have the Limited Edition and love everything about it. The car is comfortable with clean styling inside and out. The dual LCD display is amazing and was not sure about the heads up display but it is growing on me quickly. Unfortunately this car does not have the auto walk away locking system or it would have everything a man or woman could want in a SUV.

Smooth power train, great MPG, roomy interior, up to date tech, and looks sporty. Very practical vehicle that will meet most expectations. Kudos to Hyundai!

The safety features aren’t designed well at all, the emergency brake activates itself at will and overall a horrible car. The interior is nice and that’s the only thing that slightly saves it.

I love this car. It drives beautifully, handles well, has more than acceptable acceleration and is very comfortable to drive. The real world mileage is less than advertised but that is not a surprise. No quality control issues. Everything works as it is supposed to, the touch screen is intuitive to use and the head up display is great. The only very minor complaint is that this particular car does not have auto-folding outside mirrors.
