Another new model set to be officially launched by Hyundai Motor Malaysia (HMY) next month is the C-segment SUV, the 2025 Tucson.
Unlike what was previously offered by Hyundai Sime Darby, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson is a facelift version that features several cosmetic changes.
Among these changes are the Parametric Jewel front grille, which conceals larger daytime running lights (DRL), newly designed rims, and a more angular front bumper.
More significant changes can be observed in the cabin, where the layout has been completely redesigned.
The 2025 Tucson facelift now features a more streamlined dashboard, complete with a twin 12.3-inch screen integrated into a single curved panel, a three-spoke steering wheel without the italic H logo, and a separate 6.6-inch panel for climate control.
The center console houses a wireless device charging slot and a larger storage compartment, thanks to the shift lever being relocated to the right side of the steering column.
Three variants of the Tucson are set to be launched: the Style, equipped with a 2.0-liter engine (156 PS/192 Nm); and the Prime and Prestige (4WD), powered by a 1.6-liter turbo engine (180 PS/264 Nm).
There is also a 1.6-liter turbo hybrid engine option delivering 235 PS/367 Nm, offered specifically for the Prestige HEV variant.
The Style and Prestige HEV variants come with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the Prime and Prestige variants are equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
In terms of dimensions, the 2025 Tucson measures 4,640 mm in length, 1,865 mm in width, 1,665 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,755 mm.
Further details, such as safety features and sale prices, will be officially announced at the launch event on July 2.
