Review: 2025 Hyundai Tucson 1.6T HEV GLS
When Hyundai Motor Philippines brought in the fourth-generation Tucson in 2023, there were high hopes for the compact SUV; after all, besides the Starex and Santa Fe, it’s managed to carve a name for itself in the Filipino car buyer psyche. Unfortunately, it was let down by a spec sheet that seemed to cater more to reducing its price tag rather than giving buyers the features that they want. Fast forward to 2024, and it’s finally time for some course correction. The refreshed Tucson is here and it now packs much more equipment than ever. It also gains a hybrid powertrain which, at, P 2,290,000 is pricey but ultimately worth every peso.
