Fuel efficiency, performance, and advanced features make the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid an exceptional member of its class. Keep reading to explore some of the most exciting features of the new Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.
1. Advanced 1.6L Turbo Hybrid Powertrain
The Tucson Hybrid pairs a 1.6L turbocharged GDI engine with a 44.2-kW electric motor and a 1.49-kWh lithium-ion battery, resulting in a combined 226 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the six-speed dual-clutch transmission, drivers enjoy smooth shifts and immediate throttle response.
2. Multi-Level Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking on the Tucson Hybrid recovers up to 30% of wasted energy under deceleration and returns it to the battery. Using paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, drivers can choose from three regen levels: light, normal, and aggressive. This system not only extends electric range but also reduces wear on the brake pads over time.
3. HTRAC All-Wheel Drive System
The available HTRAC AWD distributes torque between front and rear axles to maximize traction on wet, snowy, and loose surfaces. In sport mode, power shifts to the rear for sharper handling, while terrain mode focuses on enhancing traction for light-off-road use.
4. Dual 10.25-Inch Digital Displays
The Tucson Hybrid interior features two 10.25-inch screens: a configurable TFT instrument cluster and an infotainment display with navigation. Both support split-screen views, allowing drivers to see vehicle stats and maps at the same time. Over-the-air updates ensure software stays current, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration lets you connect your favorite apps and media without cables.
5. Hyundai SmartSense Safety Suite
Hyundai SmartSense is standard on all trims and includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance with pedestrian and junction turning detection, Lane Following Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. With the Highway Driving Assist feature, the Tucson Hybrid achieves semi-autonomous highway driving by combining adaptive cruise control and lane-centering technology.
Hyundai SmartSense also includes Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, which helps prevent collisions by alerting you to approaching vehicles when your Hyundai is in reverse.
6. Premium Cabin Comfort
The Tucson Hybrid’s interior offers heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The Limited and Ultimate trims add Nappa leather upholstery and a power-adjustable driver’s seat that retains memories of your favorite seat position. A panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with light, while noise-reducing laminated windshield and acoustic door glass keep the ride peaceful and quiet.
7. Flexible Cargo and Storage Solutions
With rear seats upright, the Tucson Hybrid provides 38.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding the 60/40 split rear seat expands capacity to 74.8 cubic feet, sufficient for large recreational gear or tools and equipment for home repair. Underfloor storage compartments add even more everyday convenience.
