What's New for 2025?

In 2025, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Blue trim will see similar changes to the rest of the lineup, including its performance and overall aesthetics. It is no surprise that Hyundai has worked to modernize this classic SUV over the last few generations, with the current model looking sleeker than ever. Specifically, you have a new grille design, wider bumpers, and improved head and tail lighting. The front and rear skid plates also add some texture to this hybrid model, and the wheel designs are refreshed.

Inside, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Blue sees an enhanced infotainment center, with its staple being the 12.3-inch touchscreen display with standard wireless charging at the front console. You might also notice the return of several physical buttons for your air conditioning, heating, and audio functions. The center console gets revamped, too, with the wireless charging coming standard in the Blue trim level.

Under the hood, we see better performance in 2025 thanks to a slightly more powerful electric motor and two new driving modes to try while behind the wheel. Those modes are as follows:

My Drive:

• Allows you to customize the powertrain and steering settings to your preferences, including steering feel, throttle response, and other settings.

Baby Mode:

• Offers a smoother, more gentle acceleration for a more comfortable ride, especially for passengers like babies or pets.

Dynamic Exterior Design

The outside design of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Blue is constantly evolving, with the newest release of this SUV being especially striking.
