The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is that chic compact SUV that’s blending modern design, practical space, and advanced tech for Indian buyers who want a premium feel without the full-size fuss. Priced between Rs. 27.32 lakh and Rs. 32.00 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s a hit with young families, urban commuters, and style-conscious drivers seeking a versatile 5-seater with up to 20 km/l mileage and Hyundai’s smart features. It competes with the Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Tata Harrier, offering a 2.0L petrol or 2.0L diesel engine, Level 2 ADAS, and a refreshed interior with dual 10.25-inch screens. This review details its price, specifications, features, and performance.
Compact and Contemporary Design
The Tucson 2025 turns heads with its angular, expressive exterior, featuring a wide grille, slim LED headlights, and connected LED tail lamps that give it a premium, futuristic vibe. It’s a compact SUV at 4,630 mm long, 1,865 mm wide, and 1,665 mm high, with a 2,755 mm wheelbase for spacious rear seats in its 5-seater layout. Weighing around 1,500-1,600 kg, it boasts 180 mm ground clearance for city bumps, and 17-inch alloys with tubeless tires. Available in colors like Amazon Grey, Starry Night, and Atlas White, with dual-tone options—boot space hits 620 liters, expandable to 1,799 liters, making it a practical hauler for family trips or urban runs.
Clear Display
The refreshed interior shines with a pair of 10.25-inch screens—one for the digital instrument cluster and one for the touchscreen infotainment system—supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless navigation and entertainment. Dual-zone auto AC with rear vents keeps the cabin comfortable, and ambient lighting adds a premium touch—it’s intuitive with voice commands and physical HVAC controls, perfect for long drives without distraction.
Efficient Performance
Powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated petrol (154 bhp at 6,200 rpm, 192 Nm at 4,500 rpm) or 2.0L diesel (184 bhp at 4,000 rpm, 416 Nm at 2,000 rpm), it pairs with a 6-speed automatic (petrol) or 8-speed automatic (diesel) and FWD (AWD optional on diesel). The petrol claims 18 km/l, diesel 20 km/l—real-world 15-18 km/l in mixed runs, with a top speed of 190 km/h and 0-100 km/h in about 9 seconds. The 50-liter tank stretches 750-900 km, and the multi-link suspension ensures a smooth ride—peppy for city overtakes but refined for highways.
Advanced Camera System
The setup includes a rear parking camera with dynamic guidelines, with 360-degree panoramic view on higher trims. Hyundai SmartSense ADAS features adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward collision avoidance, and blind-spot monitoring—up to 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, stability control, and hill-start assist deliver 5-star safety. It’s a family guardian, handling monsoons or rough paths like a pro.
Long-Lasting Fuel System
The 50-liter tank powers 750-900 km on a fill-up, great for 1-2 days without stops. Refueling’s quick at 2-3 minutes, and running costs dip to Rs. 6-8/km for diesel, with low NVH letting you chat or stream without engine hum. The diesel’s torque adds effortless cruising for eco vibes.
Connectivity and Features
LED headlights and DRLs light up the night, with USB ports, wireless charging, and keyless entry. The 8-speaker Bose audio supports Bluetooth and aux, plus a panoramic sunroof for breezy drives. Ventilated seats and powered tailgate add comfort—it’s connected with remote app controls for AC and geo-fencing, balancing Hyundai innovation with practical perks.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at Rs. 27.32 lakh for the base Platinum petrol to Rs. 32.00 lakh for the Signature diesel AWD (ex-showroom), on-road in Delhi ranges from Rs. 31-37 lakh including RTO (Rs. 2.5-3 lakh) and insurance (Rs. 0.5-0.7 lakh). Launched for 2025, available at Hyundai dealers with festive deals up to Rs. 50,000 off. Maintenance Rs. 8,000-12,000/year, 3-year/unlimited km warranty. Wait times: 1-2 months.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Owners rave about the spacious cabin, diesel torque, and safety—the 180 mm clearance handles urban bumps, and 20 km/l keeps costs low. The Bose audio and sunroof get thumbs up. But the petrol engine feels underpowered on highways, boot’s average for big loads, and no hybrid option—base trims lack the panoramic view.
Comparison with Competitors
In the Rs. 27-32 lakh compact SUV segment, the Tucson edges the Seltos on space but trails the Grand Vitara in hybrid options. It matches the Harrier’s refinement, with Hyundai’s service network giving it the edge.
Speculative Notes
2025 model at Rs. 27.32-32.00 lakh, with 2.0L petrol/diesel, 18-20 km/l mileage, and SmartSense ADAS. Confirm with dealers for variants.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson, with its 4,630 mm frame, efficient diesel power, and premium safety at Rs. 27.32-32.00 lakh, is the compact SUV that blends style and versatility for India’s roads. It’s not the greenest or most powerful, but that space, comfort, and Hyundai trust make it a winner. With strong support, it’s set to shine.
