The perfect upgrade!
I wasn't initially in the market for a new vehicle, as my previous car was a 2019 Hyundai Elantra. I loved my Elantra! The range was great, it was comfortable, and it was nice and compact without being too tight. That was supposed to be my "forever car." However, I got rear ended on a highway that ended up totaling the car. The fact that I walked away completely fine really made me want to stick with Hyundai. I had seen the new 2025 Tucson here and there while helping a friend look for a new car as well, but after totaling my Elantra, I started seriously looking.
I was teetering the entire time between getting a new Elantra to replace my old one or getting a Tucson. However, in my heart I knew I wanted to upgrade to an SUV, as I wanted this car to truly be my "forever car." So, when weighing a new Elantra against a Tucson, the Tucson provided more room, more features, and the ability to tow something. Not only that, but after comparing prices, the two truly ended up being the same price after accounting for insurance.
So why not go bigger and better?
I'm so glad I did! It truly has been such a dream driving this car. It is spacious enough to fit five adults fairly comfortably and the truck space is huge! I was in a toss-up between a limited version and an SEL convenience and honestly if you're in the same dilemma, I would just go with the SEL convenience! The only thing you're missing is a heated steering wheel and a moonroof. For the price difference, I think the SEL convenience was definitely the way to go! I am also incredibly biased in that there is also a difference in your interior display units, and honestly, I think the SEL convenience looks SO much better than the limited does.
When purchasing, I standardly will buy a used car over a brand new one given how much a brand new car depreciates in value after purchasing. However, the rates Hyundai have at the time I purchased it truly could not be beat. APRs were over 5.5-7% with any other banks and dealerships, but I was able to lock mine in at 1.9%. Not only that but the warranty on a brand-new Hyundai can't be beat!
