The 2025 Hyundai Tucson facelift has been announced with just a handful of images and details. Here’s your first look.

The 4th-generation version of the Korean SUV has been given an update. What you see here is the 2025 Hyundai Tucson and while the changes are not immediately apparent, there’s been some work done.

That bold grille has been given a tweak, featuring an enhanced version of Hyundai’s Parametric Dynamics design language, along with new-look daytime running lights. There’s also a new bumper and skidplate and the car maker confirmed there’d be a revised rear as well as new wheel designs, which we’ll see later. Hyundai has also mentioned that there’ll be new exterior colours and new interior trim themes.

Climb inside and the 2025 Hyundai Tucson has an updated cabin with new switches as well as a panoramic curved display. This display comprises a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a 12.3-inch infotainment setup. This screen system has been spotted in other products, like the facelifted Kia Sorento and it makes sense to roll it out across both the Kia and Hyundai portfolio.

Other noteworthy changes include repositioning of the wireless smartphone charger and cupholders, and the gear selector has been relocated to the steering column.

We’re not expecting major changes or enhancements to the current lineup of engines, but we reckon that the European market powertrains will be slightly improved when it comes to emissions. Locally, we’re expecting the naturally-aspirated 2.0-engine and 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine to be carried over.

When will the 2025 Hyundai Tucson facelift some to South Africa?

Very little information has been announced at this point and right now all we have to go on is initial images of the exterior and cabin. We expect more details to emerge before the end of 2023 and we estimate the Korean SUV will be landing in SA showrooms by the end of 2024.
