The wait is over. South African car buyers can now experience the new facelifted Model Year: 2025 Hyundai TUCSON after it finally landed in South Africa. The 2025 line-up comes in three derivatives, namely: the Hyundai TUCSON 2.0 Premium AT, the Hyundai TUCSON R2.0D Executive AT as well as the Hyundai TUCSON R2.0D N Line AWD AT.
Outlining the decision to bring this exquisite vehicle locally, Stanley Anderson, Director of Sales and Operations at Hyundai Automotive South Africa said when the Hyundai TUCSON model was first introduced in South Africa in 2004, it became a top-seller in its segment. It further achieved instant connection with South African consumers, as a result, solidified the Hyundai brand in the automotive market.
“South Africans, by nature, love travelling – whether it be for business, school, coastal holidaying or even inland leisure trips. Embarking on such journeys requires a reliable, quality, frugal fuel consumption, value for money and a comfortable vehicle that gives them an unmatched driving experience. The Hyundai TUCSON is purposefully designed and meticulously crafted with the customer’s travelling needs at its core,” stated Anderson.
Side/Rear/Front and Driver’s Space Design features
The facelifted Hyundai TUCSON’s sporty image, harmonizes the side lines with the front and rear, while the skid plate and bumper moulding are grouped to accentuate a wide layout in the rear.
“In terms of the front design features, we have maintained the unique wing-shaped image with the implementation of a meticulous parametric grille and rugged bumper for a robust SUV image. The wrap-around architecture, characterized by the double-layer structure of the crash pad and the three-dimensional door shape, envelops the driver’s space. The panoramic curved display-based horizontal lines emphasize a high-tech yet SUV-appropriate sense of space and practicality,” added Anderson.
