Hyundai’s facelift 2025 Hyundai Tucson has landed in South Africa. When the Hyundai Tucson model was first introduced in South Africa in 2004, it became a top-seller in its segment.
What is it?
The medium size SUV 2025 line-up comes in three derivatives, namely: the Hyundai TUCSON 2.0 Premium AT, the Hyundai TUCSON R2.0D Executive AT as well as the Hyundai TUCSON R2.0D N Line AWD AT.
Exterior:
The face-lifted Hyundai TUCSON’s sporty image, harmonises the side lines with the front and rear, while the skid plate and bumper moulding are grouped to accentuate a wide layout in the rear.
The front design maintains the wing-shaped image with the implementation of a parametric grille and rugged bumper for a robust SUV image. The wrap-around architecture, characterised by the double-layer structure of the crash pad and the three-dimensional door shape, envelops the driver’s space.
Spec highlights:
The 2.0L 4 Cylinder 6-Speed automatic transmission with 192Nm and 115kW also boasts a claimed 8.9L/100km fuel consumption. Furthermore, it has a 12.3” Infotainment (Android Auto & Apple CarPlay) wireless charger and a rear air conditioner cruise control.
The cruise control, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera, have been kept. The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 Premium AT model now includes the following additional features: a side repeater mirror, LED headlamps with a static bending, blind-spot detection and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The upholstery is leather, including the steering wheel and gear lever and heated front seats.
