Hyundai had unveiled the 2025 Tucson SUV a few months back at the New York Auto Show, and while US deliveries of the combustion variant commenced earlier this year in June, the two hybrid variants are now scheduled for later in fall. There are no specifics about whether or not this model will make it to Indian shores, but it might do so by early 2025 through the CDK route.
2025 Hyundai Tuscon is offered with three powertrains and comes with a revised front end. The upper grille is more pronounced while the lower grille has been made bulkier to give off a meaner look. The Tucson further features all-new alloy wheels on the side, along with a new control panel and steering wheel design. The Hyundai Tuscon is priced starting $28,875 (approximately ₹24.1 lakh) for the combustion engine variant and $34,000 (approximately ₹28.4 lakh) for the hybrid variants.
