Hyundai has transformed the Tucson from a competent also-ran to a segment leader. The hybrid version adds excellent fuel efficiency to an already compelling package.
Striking Design
The Tucson’s bold design continues to turn heads. The parametric grille and hidden running lights give it a futuristic appearance that stands out in parking lots. Inside, the design is equally forward-thinking.
Hybrid System
A 1.6-liter turbo four pairs with an electric motor for 227 combined horsepower. Power delivery is smooth, and the 6-speed automatic transmission shifts seamlessly. AWD is available for those who need it.
Technology Features
A 10.25-inch touchscreen is standard on higher trims, with navigation and Hyundai’s digital key functionality. The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster is customizable and easy to read.
Value Proposition
Hyundai’s excellent warranty (5-year/60,000 miles basic, 10-year/100,000 miles powertrain) adds peace of mind. The hybrid premium over the gas model pays for itself within a few years of average driving.
