Hyundai Motor America is currently conducting testing on what appears to be the 2025 Santa Cruz in its series-production configuration. The anticipated facelift is expected to debut during the summer months, with initial customer deliveries projected for the fall in the United States market.
The prototype, heavily camouflaged as observed by KindelAuto, showcases redesigned elements including the front grille, bumper, and headlights. Changes to the rear bumper and lights are also apparent, albeit obscured by the camouflage.
The interior, covered by camouflage, suggests minor improvements over previous models, with Hyundai potentially adopting a layout similar to the updated Tucson, which features an array of physical buttons.
Prospective buyers can expect enhancements in the 2025 Hyundai Tucson, including dual 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, as well as other interior refinements.
While exterior styling changes may be subtle, Hyundai may consider incorporating hybrid technology given developments in the automotive industry.
