5 TRIMS ABOUT THE HYUNDAI TUCSON
Hyundai Tucson at a glance
The Hyundai Tucson covers a wide part of the compact-SUV market with gasoline, hybrid and plug-in-hybrid powertrains. The conventional 2.5-liter model makes 187 hp, while electrified versions pair a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with an electric motor for stronger low-speed response and standard all-wheel drive. Cariary considers the hybrid the most balanced Tucson because it improves performance as well as efficiency, avoiding the sluggish feel that can affect the base engine. The plug-in hybrid adds useful electric-only driving for owners who can charge regularly, but its value depends on local pricing and incentives. Across the range, passenger space and an easy-to-use cabin remain major strengths.
