2025 Hyundai Tucson SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is a small crossover SUV. The SE, SEL, XRT and Limited trim levels come with a 187-horsepower four-cylinder engine, while the N Line, Blue Hybrid, SEL Convenience Hybrid and Limited Hybrid trims have a hybrid powertrain that pairs a turbocharged gas engine with an electric motor for a total of 231 horsepower. The standard gas engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. The hybrid comes standard with a six-speed transmission and all-wheel drive. The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Keep reading for our rundown of each trim level's significant standard features and options.

SE
Starts with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Proximity keyless entry with push-button start
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 12.3-inch center touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (wireless connectivity for both)
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Two USB-C ports up front and two USB outlets for rear passengers

The SE also comes with advanced driver aids such as:

  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Tucson back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Tucson and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

SEL
Adds luxury and tech features, such as:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Roof rails
  • Tinted rear windows
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Rear passenger vents
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Wireless device charging pad
  • Hands-free power liftgate

Convenience package
Available on the SEL trim with:

  • Navigation system
  • 12.3-inch instrument panel screen
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Sunroof
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel

XRT
The off-road-themed XRT starts with the SEL with Convenience package and adds:

  • 18-inch XRT-exclusive wheels
  • Unique bumpers
  • Black exterior accents
  • Tow hitch

N Line
Similar to the SEL trim but uses the turbocharged 1.6-liter hybrid powertrain and adds sporty touches, such as:

  • Special 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Unique exterior and interior fascias and trim
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Bose premium audio system

Limited
Builds off the SEL with the Convenience package, adding:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Leather upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Tucson and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Parking collision avoidance assist (provides an audible alert and applies the brakes if a rear collision is imminent when parking)

For the Tucson Hybrid, the Blue trim level is essentially the same as the SEL trim. The SEL Convenience Hybrid trim level largely matches the non-hybrid SEL fitted with the Convenience package. Finally, the Limited Hybrid trim is equipped much like the standard Limited trim.

Which Tucson trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the SEL with the Convenience package. This gets you a lot of great creature comforts and the brand-new, upgraded screen complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
