Trims, Powertrain, and Performance

The ’25 Tucson Hybrid lineup is made up of four trims: Blue, SEL Convenience, N Line, and Limited. Under the hood, all of them have a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with an electric motor; their combined output is 231 hp and 271 lb.-ft. of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drivetrain complete the mechanical picture.

Fuel efficiency is, of course, this model’s main draw. The base Blue achieves an EPA-estimated 38 mpg in both city and highway driving, while the other trims return a noteworthy 35 mpg. The 2025 Tucson Hybrid can even do some towing (up to 2,000 pounds), making it a practical choice for light hauling needs.

Trim-Specific Highlights

The entry-level Blue provides a solid mix of essential and advanced features. Its more conventional offerings include cloth upholstery, a 4.2-inch LCD gauge cluster, a 60/40-split rear seat with a folding armrest and cupholders, four USB ports (two Type-C up front), and a dual-level cargo floor. Beyond that, you’ll find more enticing amenities like heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, proximity keyless entry, push-button start, a hands-free liftgate, LED headlights, heated side mirrors, and roof rails.

The popular SEL Convenience trim adds leatherette upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, 64-color ambient interior lighting, and turn-signal indicators on the side mirrors. The sporty N Line stands out with black exterior elements, a black interior with red accents, seats upholstered in a combination of leather and cloth, alloy pedals and scuff plates, distinctive wheels, a single twin-tip exhaust, and N Line-specific design elements, including a rear spoiler and special front fascia.

At the top of the range, the Limited takes luxury to the next level, building on the SEL Convenience’s equipment with leather upholstery, a fingerprint authentication system, ventilated front seats with position memory for the driver and power adjustability for the passenger, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a 12-inch head-up display, a HomeLink universal remote, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and projector-type LED headlights.

Safety and Driving Assistance Tech

Hyundai’s SmartSense safety suite is standard across all trims, equipping every Tucson Hybrid with these technologies: forward collision-avoidance assist (with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction-turning detection), blind-spot collision warning, driver attention warning, lane keeping assist, lane following assist, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, adaptive cruise control, safe exit warning, and rear occupant alert. The SEL Convenience and above add forward attention warning, highway driving assist, and enhanced navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Curve Control. The Limited is the most extensively protected, boasting a surround-view camera, Remote Smart Parking Assist, a live-feed blind-spot view monitor, and front, side, and rear parking sensors.

Connectivity and Entertainment

The Blue’s infotainment system is housed within a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, a basic multi-speaker audio system, and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. Added at the SEL Convenience level are onboard navigation, voice recognition, and Hyundai Pay for convenient in-car purchases at participating merchants. The N Line and Limited treat their occupants to a more exhilarating audio experience with a cutting-edge Bose sound system.
