Hyundai introduces more efficient versions of its popular SUVs, the Tucson and Santa Fe. The new Tucson Hybrid and Santa Fe Hybrid join the brand’s growing lineup of sustainable vehicles, which already include the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 fully electric vehicles.
Tucson Hybrid
The 2025 Tucson Hybrid is a compact SUV with a refreshed look – from its radiator grille, front and rear bumpers, as well as new wheel design, further redefining its sporty spirit.
Inside, it boasts of an impressive 12.3-inch panoramic curved infotainment display with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Improved storage space and convenience can also be enjoyed through the vehicle’s floating-type console box, steering column-mounted Shift-by-Wire lever, and seat remote folding system.
Powering it is a Smartstream 1.6-liter turbocharged Hybrid engine. This new Tucson Hybrid is capable of a maximum output of 235-Ps and 367-Nm of torque. Furthermore, it has a column-mounted Shift-by-Wire lever allowing intuitive and rapid shifting operation while driving.
Its hybrid system comes with e-Dynamic Drive that allows electric-powered handling, traction, Evasive Handling Assist, and Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control. Through the Smart Regenerative Braking System, the level of energy that the vehicle can recover is automatically adjusted during deceleration based on driving conditions to provide fuel-efficient driving. Aside from the traditional driving modes like eco, smart, and sport, this car comes with "Baby mode,” which activates optimal acceleration that enhances comfort for the young ones on board.
Additionally, the new Tucson Hybrid is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, providing top-notch safety features such as Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping & Following Assist, Side Parking Distance Warning, Smart Cruise Control, and a Surround View Monitor.
The new Tucson Hybrid will retail in select Hyundai dealerships for P2,290,000 in 7 colors: Pine Green, Phantom Black Pearl, White Cream, Shimmering Silver, Amazon Gray, Deep Sea, and Cashmere Bronze. Additionally, its gasoline and diesel-powered trims are also now available. The new Tucson Diesel retails for P1,980,000, and the new Tucson Gas for P1,680,000.
Santa Fe Hybrid
The Santa Fe Hybrid has an interior fitted with first row relaxation comfort seats and second row captain seats with remote folding function, accessible through the 12.3-inch panoramic curved infotainment display. This is also where hybrid system-related information such as hybrid battery level, hybrid fuel economy, and electric motor usage can be viewed. Furthermore, dual wireless smartphone charging ports with built-in cooling fans, a UV-C sterilization tray, and a bi-directional storage console also give passengers peak convenience, space, and accessibility. Safety also comes standard in the form of Hyundai SmartSense, which includes a Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, All-around Parking Distance Warnings, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, a Surround View Monitor, among others.
The all-new Santa Fe Hybrid is powered by a Smartstream 1.6-liter turbocharged HEV engine that delivers 235-Ps and 367-Nm of torque. Like the Tucson, it also comes with e-Dynamic Driving, as well as Smart Regenerative Braking.

Whichever stage of life you’re in, there is a Hyundai vehicle that suits your needs, solidifying our purpose to provide a Hyundai for every Filipino,” said HMPH Managing Director, Cecil Capacete.
Both the Tucson Hybrid and Santa Fe Hybrid have HEV warranty coverage of 5 years or 200,000km, and a High Voltage Battery warranty for 8 years or 160,000km, whichever comes first.
