New Hyundai Tucson 2025 Hybrid – First Look Review by Suneel
Assalamualaikum everyone! I’m Suneel, and I’m back with another episode of the PakWheels First Look Review Series.
Today we’re bringing you a very important and highly awaited review — the all-new Hyundai Tucson 2025 Hybrid Long Wheelbase.
Hyundai Nishat has introduced two variants in Pakistan:
-
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Smart
-
H-TRAC All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Signature
In this video, we’ll be reviewing the top-of-the-line H-TRAC variant.
Front Look
The first thing you’ll notice is the bold and stylish front grille, which plays a major role in its updated look.
-
It features concealed parametric jewel-style DRLs that seamlessly blend into the grille when turned off, giving it a unified appearance.
-
The color of this car is a striking Mercury-style grey, which adds to its road presence.
-
The car has IFS (Intelligent Front-Lighting System) headlamps in the top variant, which auto-dim when detecting oncoming traffic.
-
There’s also a diffuser-style bumper, parking sensors, and a mix of piano black and matte grey finishes on the front.
Side Profile
The side profile is where the Tucson really flexes its design muscle:
-
19-inch machine-finished alloy wheels with a gloss grey accent in the top variant.
-
Aerodynamic canards near the wheel arches add a bold SUV character.
-
Sharp character lines run across the doors and fenders—very sleek, but probably a nightmare for dent repair!
-
Roof rails are in piano black.
-
Side mirrors are body-colored and include 360° cameras.
-
Door handles are body-colored as well.
-
Around the C-pillar, there’s a stylish matte chrome trim running along the window line—subtle and modern.
-
Even the Hyundai logo on the front is finished in black instead of chrome.
Rear Design
From the rear, the Tucson 2025 continues to impress:
-
The LED tail lights have a Mustang-inspired scale pattern.
-
A full-length light bar runs across the tailgate.
-
The Hyundai badge is embossed inside the glass, and the rear wiper is concealed within the roof-mounted spoiler.
-
Includes high-mounted brake light, shark fin antenna, rear parking sensors, and a dual-tone matte grey bumper.
-
The H-TRAC badge confirms the AWD system, and there’s Hybrid and Tucson branding as well.
Trunk Space & Features
-
The Tucson offers 587 liters of boot space, expandable to 1770 liters with the 60:40 rear seat split folded down.
-
There’s a smart trunk feature—stand near the tailgate with the key, and it opens automatically within 3 seconds (no kicking or touching required).
-
Includes LED boot light, 12V socket, and a space-saving spare tire with tool kit.
Key & Entry
-
Comes with Hyundai’s latest key featuring the “H” logo.
-
Remote engine start is available—press and hold the button for 4 seconds to start the car remotely.
-
Smart entry is standard—just touch the handle with the key in your pocket to unlock.

The star of the interior is the massive panoramic screen setup:
-
12.8” infotainment screen

Engine & Performance
Saved the best for last!

-
Performance figures:
-
