The 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT is a compact SUV that is expected to be released in late 2024. It is a ruggedized version of the standard Tucson, with a more aggressive exterior design, increased ground clearance, and all-wheel drive as standard. The XRT trim is expected to be offered with a choice of two engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque, and a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Both engines will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT is designed for buyers who want a more capable and rugged SUV than the standard Tucson, but do not want to go as far as purchasing a dedicated off-road vehicle. It is expected to be priced slightly higher than the standard Tucson, but still remains an affordable option for buyers who want a well-equipped and versatile SUV.
