Trims, Powertrain, and Performance

There are five 2025 Tucson trim packages: SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, XRT, and Limited. Under the hood of all is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission (paddle shifters are standard on the Limited); the output is 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. Each grade has a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds (trailer brakes are required) and comes with trailer pre-wiring, while the XRT adds a tow hitch. The entire lineup comes with front-wheel drive (FWD), but HTRAC all-wheel drive is optional. A drive mode select system is also standard to allow drivers choose among Normal, Sport, My Drive, and Snow (AWD) settings. The ‘25 Tucson achieves an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city/33 mpg highway with FWD and 24 mpg city/30 mpg highway with AWD.

Standard Equipment

The SE has remote keyless entry, proximity key with push-button start, cloth upholstery, a dual-level cargo floor, automatic LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, a 4.2-inch gauge cluster, two 12-volt power outlets (one front/one cargo), four USB charging ports (two front/two rear), and 17-inch alloy wheels. The SEL upgrades to 18-inch alloy wheels and adds a hands-free smart liftgate with adjustable height settings, heated side mirrors, roof rails, dual automatic temperature control, heated front seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat, wireless device charging, and Hyundai Digital Key 2.

The SEL Convenience trades cloth for synthetic leather upholstery and gains a power sunroof, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, ambient cabin lighting with 64 color settings, side mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, and LED taillights. The XRT has unique equipment and designs such as a dark-chrome accent grille, bridge-type roof rails, premium LED headlights, trim-exclusive side cladding and liftgate badging, unique 18-inch wheels, gloss-black pillars and side mirrors, and black synthetic leather upholstery with XRT embossed on the front seatbacks.

The Limited ramps up the amenities list with a 12-inch head-up display, a fingerprint authentication sensor on the instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, leather-trimmed seating, ventilated and heated front seats, an 8-way power passenger’s seat, an integrated memory system (driver’s seat/side mirrors/head-up display), heated rear seats, HomeLink, bi-LED projector-type headlights, and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Advanced Safety Features

The SEL Convenience and Limited add advanced rear occupant alert, forward attention warning, and Highway Driving Assist 1, while Smart Cruise Control 2 becomes navigation-based and adds curve control. The Limited also gets a surround view monitor, parking collision-avoidance assist (reverse), parking distance warning (forward/side/reverse), Remote Smart Parking Assist, and a blind-spot view monitor.

Multimedia and Connectivity

The ‘25 Tucson keeps its passengers well connected with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the following features: Bluetooth hands-free, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, HD Radio, SiriusXM, OTA software updates, and access to various Bluelink+ packages.
