Meet the Exceptional, Economical Hyundai Tucson Limited

If you are shopping for a compact SUV that is easy to drive and has a lot of interior space, the Hyundai Tucson is an excellent choice. This model gives you a ton of value for your money and many practical features, as well as terrific fuel economy figures. The 2025 Tucson also offers a lot of options, as it comes in five trim levels; while you can’t go wrong with any of them, the top-of-the-line Limited has absolutely everything you could need. So, let’s review why you will want to shop for a Hyundai Tucson for sale in Knoxville, as well as what you can expect when you come to see it at Rusty Wallace Hyundai.

Terrific Driving Experience

Economical models are not often known for their great performance, but the Tucson really breaks the mold here. Under the hood is a peppy 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine that produces 187 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. There are also two more powerful engine options that are both hybrids: a hybrid 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 231 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque and a plug-in hybrid 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 268 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque.

Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims, but you can swap that out for all-wheel drive. Whichever you go with, you will get a fun and engaging experience behind the wheel, as this SUV’s responsive and accurate steering ensures great handling. You will also love how quiet and comfortable the ride is, even if the road conditions you regularly encounter are less than perfect.

Excellent Fuel Efficiency

Gas mileage is another strong suit of the Hyundai Tucson, as the gas engine gets an EPA-estimated 25 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway with front-wheel drive. All-wheel-drive models get 26 MPG combined. If you want even better fuel economy, get one of the hybrid powertrains. The normal hybrid setup gets you 38 MPG combined, while the plug-in hybrid will get you 35 MPG combined. When in all-electric mode, the plug-in hybrid Tucson gets 77 MPGe for an electric-only driving range of up to 32 miles.

Big and Spacious Cabin

Inside the Hyundai Tucson, you will discover a sizable cabin that accommodates five people. Whether they sit in the front or back, everyone will have a generous amount of headroom and legroom. Its cargo space is impressive, and it offers 41.2 cu.ft. behind the rear seats and 80.3 cu.ft. when the rear row is down. You can also equip your SUV with a hands-free power liftgate.

While all trims are designed to keep passengers comfortable, the Limited comes with numerous amenities to provide a luxurious experience. These include genuine leather upholstery, eight-way power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, and driver’s seat memory settings. It also comes with heated rear seats, lumbar support for the driver’s seat, and a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Most Advanced Technology

Just because you may be looking for an affordable vehicle does not mean that it can’t come loaded with state-of-the-art components. Hyundai is always at the forefront of technology, and its cars come well-outfitted with the latest features.

Even if you just go with the base 2025 Tucson SE, you will get several components, including a 12.3-inch infotainment system touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, HD and satellite radio, four USB ports, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start. The Limited trim has all of those, plus several more; in addition to the touchscreen, its dashboard consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and the infotainment system can be operated with voice recognition.

If you frequently need to travel to places you are not familiar with, you will love the built-in navigation system. Other standard amenities in the Limited trim include a premium Bose sound system, wireless device charging, two 12-volt power outlets, and LED interior map lights. You will also get a 12-inch head-up display that projects relevant drive data (such as how fast you are driving) directly onto the windshield to avoid you having to look down. Here is something else you might like: a fingerprint scanner for both the push-button start and the infotainment system!

Driver Assistance Features

In addition to being reliable and practical, Hyundai’s cars are known for being safe. The Tucson comes with the SmartSense suite of driver assistance features that help protect passengers. This includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian/Cyclist/Junction Turning Detection. If your vehicle detects a potential crash, you will get an alert. If you do not quickly step on the brakes, they will automatically be applied for you.

With the Blind-Spot View Monitor, when you put your turn signal on, you will get a live camera feed of the lane you intend to move into. If a vehicle is there, you will get a warning. Lane Following Assist uses a front-view camera to detect lane makers and then assists in steering to keep the vehicle centered. Lane Keeping Assist will send you an alert if your Tucson detects that you have drifted out of your lane unintentionally. It can also apply steering assistance to get you back where you need to be.

If you often drive late at night or perhaps early in the morning, you will appreciate the Driver Attention Warning. Your SUV will keep tabs on how you are driving, and if you do something erratic (perhaps due to fatigue or inattention), you will get an alert. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is also included, and this monitors the area behind your vehicle. If any cars are coming from either direction, you will get a warning telling you that it is not safe to back up. Highway Driving Assist allows you to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front and helps keep your vehicle centered in its lane, even through curves.

If you are a parent of young children, you will like the Rear Occupant Alert, which reminds you to check the back for any precious cargo after the engine has been turned off. The 2025 Tucson Limited also comes with many systems to aid in parking, including Parking Distance Warning, Parking Collision Avoidance Assist, and a Surround View Monitor that gives you a 360-degree bird’s-eye view so you will always know exactly what is around your vehicle.

The Hyundai Tucson Checks Every Box

It is no wonder why the Tucson is a high-selling compact SUV every year. This vehicle is a star in all categories. It offers a fun driving experience, fantastic gas mileage, and a roomy, plush cabin. Plus, when you go with the Limited trim, you get an SUV that is both practical and luxurious, and no matter where you go, you and your passengers will be able to enjoy your devices and stay connected. You will also feel great knowing that all of the built-in safety systems are helping to keep everybody protected.
