Hyundai Australia has announced full pricing and specification details for its new 2025 Tucson midsize SUV range after overview information surfaced earlier this week.
The South Korean automaker has confirmed the new 2025 Tucson will feature a hybrid powertrain for the very first time, along with new technologies and a dynamic styling refresh.
Unlike the related Kia Sportage, the Hyundai Tucson will ditch its 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine and will only be offered in petrol and petrol-hybrid drivetrains going forward.
The Hyundai Tucson now has a hybrid powertrain option!
Pricing begins at $39,100 before on-road costs for the entry 2.0-litre Tucson and climbs to as high as $59,600 before on-road costs for the Premium Hybrid.
Price of entry has increased by $3450, with the most affordable hybrid variant costing $45,100 before on-road costs, or $850 cheaper than the base Kia Sportage Hybrid.
Three variants will be available from launch; Tucson, Tucson Elite and Tucson Premium, all of which will be available with an optional N-Line pack, if in select powertrain choices in some trim grades.
Price of entry for the Tucson is up by $3450, now starts at $39,100 plus on-roads
N-Line will be offered as a sole standalone variant in Tucson 1.6 T-GDi AWD form. Elsewhere, N-Line is essentially an upcharge – of between $1500 and $4000 – on seven other trim levels in the range.
The Highlander name used previously has been discontinued for 2025, replaced by the Premium nameplate.
The Hyundai Tucson competes in the midsize SUV segment with its mechanically-related Kia Sportage, as well as the Toyota RAV4, the Honda CR-V and the Nissan X-Trail.
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is now available to order from local dealerships.

New hybrid powertrain headlines powertrains
Hyundai will offer a hybrid drivetrain for its Tucson for the very first time this year. This system consists of a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with an additional electric motor to produce maximum combined outputs of 172kW/264Nm.
This hybrid system is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and the option of either front- or all-wheel drive, unlike its related Sportage cousin.
All Tucson Hybrids will feature Hyundai’s smart regenerative braking mode, along with e-motion electric-dynamic torque vectoring control system.
