Hyundai has given a big upgrade to its popular SUV, the Tucson. The 2025 version brings new design elements, modern features, and more powerful engine options. It is expected to launch in India later this year and will compete with SUVs like the Jeep Compass, Citroën C5 Aircross, and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Bold Exterior Design
The new Tucson 2025 looks bold and premium. It has a larger front grille, new LED daytime running lights, and a sporty bumper. The side profile gets sharper lines, and the alloy wheels have a fresh design. At the back, it features a new tail light design with a full-width light bar and a dual-tone bumper. Overall, the SUV looks muscular and modern, ideal for city roads and highway presence.
Modern and Spacious Interior
Inside the cabin, the Tucson 2025 is more premium than before. It now includes:

- Premium leather upholstery in top variants
- Ventilated and powered front seats

The layout is clean and minimal, making it easy to use while driving. Rear seat space is generous, with good legroom and rear AC vents. Boot space is expected to be around 540 litres, enough for family luggage.

The India version is expected to offer three powertrain options:
- 2.0-litre petrol engine with 156 PS power and 192 Nm torque
- 2.0-litre diesel engine with 186 PS power and 416 Nm torque
