At the 2024 New York Auto Show, Hyundai introduced two significant additions to its lineup: the facelifted Santa Cruz and the 2025 Tucson crossover. While subtle in design updates, these models offer enhanced features and performance.
The facelifted Santa Cruz boasts a refreshed front grille, updated lighting elements, and revised bumpers, reinforcing its rugged aesthetic. Inside, a curved display option integrates advanced infotainment and digital gauges, complemented by physical buttons for essential functions.
Safety features are enhanced, and new color options, such as Canyon Red and Rockwood Green, provide additional customization choices.
Under the hood, the Tucson retains its engine lineup, with slight power upgrades for hybrid variants. Standard all-wheel drive and adjustable regenerative braking ensure optimal performance.
Expected to arrive at dealerships in the summer of 2025, pricing details are forthcoming, with hybrid variants joining the lineup later in the year.
As the current generation enters its mid-cycle refresh, speculation arises about the next-gen Tucson, expected to debut in the late 2020s. Renderings offer a look into potential design directions, hinting at a sharper aesthetic with modern features.
