2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL PHEV convert from 2000 Toyota Camry

My sister bought a 2025 gas Tucson and suggested I check them out. My 25.5 year old stick shift Camry was still great, but starting to burn oil. The Rav4 Prime was on my radar, but my Toyota dealer told me a test-drive required a non-refundable deposit of $2500. Loyalty is overrated! I contacted a local Hyundai dealer regarding a Tucson SEL PHEV and they suggested I come in for a test drive. The one they had in stock was the Limited, but could get the SEL in about 2 months. Thrilled, I happily gave a refundable $500 and put my name on the list. Surprisingly, I received a call in a week telling me the car was arriving a month early. They treated me like a queen and I got a fabulous car for $10k less than the RAV4 Prime....Let me tell you about this fabulous car: The 2025 Tucson SEL PHEV is fun to drive, has excellent handling, and stops on a dime (almost literally). It is a gasoline hybrid engine first, with an electric battery option thrown in. I plug it into a regular wall socket and it is fully charged in 5 or 6 hours. When it runs out of battery, it switches to hybrid. The Infotainment center (dashboard screen) is intuitive and easy to navigate. I have never had so much information about my car at my fingertips. The Bluelink App on my phone makes it easy to check on my car and access information from the owner's manual - and you also receive an actual printed owner's manual (nearly 2 inches thick of information - I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!). It's easy to maximize the use of the 34 miles of battery energy and regenerative braking. You never have to plug it in if you don't want to, but why wouldn't you? Freedom is having fuel choices. It has a range of about 452 miles - more than enough for me to go anywhere. If I ever get nostalgic, I can always drive my husband's 1997 Honda Accord stick shift. But, that may not be for too much longer - he is eyeing the Ioniq SUV. You can't go wrong with the 2025 Tucson SEL PHEV. Fuel options, perfect size, easy to park, maneuverable, responsive, large cargo area, and fun to drive!

Meets my basic needs but too many quirks

I bought the Tucson PHEV because I wanted a plug-in hybrid SUV and it checked the boxes for price and size, and am very happy with the mileage it gets. On the other hand, it doesn’t drive any better than my previous 2018 Subaru Forster, nor is the interior significantly more comfortable. . The range of the vehicle in EV mode is less than advertise;, the ability to self-mange when it switches to/from hybrid to EV mode is limited, the back windshield wiper is an abysmal, ineffective design, and I’m having problems with the key fob that will require a trip to the dealer (which is almost an hour away). Not quite the upgrade I was hoping for compared to my previous car

Great Car with Some Weaknesses in Tech

I absolutely love how it drives, super smooth and more like a small car than a suv. Its my first suv and a perfect intro one. I am finding the distance "assistance" and car take over does not work well and I turned it off because for me it created 2 hazardous situations.

Terrific car!

This is a beautiful car, loaded with many safety warnings and is a plug-in hybrid. It is very high up, which I wanted not only for its height in the traffic, but also for the ease in getting in and out. The time required to recharge is quite extended, but that is because of electrical limitations of our household's grid.

Cannot remote start or stop charging

I loved my 2024 Tucson Hybrid plug in Limited so much I upgraded to to a 2025. Now this one will not allow start or stop charging through Bluelink. If I had known this I would have never spent the money to upgrade. Supposedly they are working on it but it’s been over 2 Months and I’ve heard nothing. Very disappointed!

I like the vehicle. Too much technology that you have to get used to.

Because there are a lot of buttons on the console, I am always accidentally putting the car in wheel lock when reaching for the controls on the dash. These buttons are too easily touched by accident

Great car, but need to fix the rug

Overall, we really like our 2025 Hyundai Tucson PHEV. But the rear floor mat is too big and doesn’t fit. We reported this problem before we purchased the car. We were told to take the car to service and they would resolve the problem. Service reported the problem to Hyundai, and Hyundai sent another rear format that is still too big/sloppy. Service says they’re still working on it, and I called Hyundai myself. But it’s been months with no resolution for a simple problem. Also, we love driving the car in electric mode, but it seems like if we turn on the heater or push the accelerator too hard, the car stays in hybrid mode and won’t go back to electric mode very easily.

Great SUV!

The ‘25 Tucson PHEV is comfortable, smooth, powerful, and roomy. It handles great on mountain roads and is easy to maneuver. Nice amenities!

1st 90 days of ownership

Takes too long to charge. Hyundai should take note of Toyota for some fit and finish as Toyota is a step ahead in some engineering aspects
