Car and Driver magazine has been the preeminent source of automotive information for decades. This is why when it releases best-of lists, it is worth paying attention to. Recently, Editors’ Choice awards were announced, and many Hyundai models were among the winners, including the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. Keyes Hyundai goes over why this model, and others received recognition.
2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid
In the hybrid compact SUV class, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is a star. It has a potent powertrain consisting of a turbocharged 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, and these combine to produce 231 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard, and this ensures great handling, along with comfortable ride quality. Inside you will find a big interior that fits five people, and heated front seats are standard. Cargo space is ample, and it offers 74.5 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded.
2025 Hyundai Palisade
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade was singled out for the midsize SUV class. This has a cavernous cabin just made for families, as it has three rows and can fit up to eight people. It also comes with numerous safety features, including rear cross-traffic alert, stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist. In addition, this big SUV is easy to drive and comes with a muscular 291-horsepow 3.8-liter V6.
