New Hyundai Tucson Review | Meet the Family-Sized Hybrid and Plug In Hybrid Tucsons
The new Hyundai Tucson and its two hybrid siblings are praised for their quality and for their features-per-dollar value. We just love how handsome they are and how fun they are to drive. Check out this review to get a closer look at the pros and cons of these three: the Tucson Plug in Hybrid, Tucson Hybrid and standard Tucson.
Interior Spaciousness and Style
Ready to take care of people and cargo, the Tucson has excellent specifications for its compact SUV class. The total passenger volume is 108 cubic feet. With more than 50 cubes, the rear passenger volume is the largest in the class. Rear legroom is 41.3 inches. The cargo space is an ample 38.7 cubic feet. With the seatback releases, you can create a flat floor. You can even move the floor lower.
Quality materials include soft-touch surfaces and a cleanly styled dashboard. The wrap-around design makes the doors and dashboard as one when the doors are closed. This makes the cabin feel bigger, and this careful fit and finish adds to the elegance. Good sound insulation and an acoustic windshield keep the ride quiet. Road Show calls it “luxury-car quiet”.
This model year, the new Hyundai Tucson is definitely the most comfortable it has ever been. The front seat chairs have a special ant-fatigue design. Most trims have a power driver's chair and push button start. Rear seat chairs have a reclining function for extra wiggle room. At its most stylish, the Tucson has leather upholstery, a panoramic roof, front-passenger power chair, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. It also has our favorite feature, ventilated front seats.
Technology
This contemporary Hyundai cockpit has been designed to be user-friendly, whether it is the standard 8-inch touch screen with analog instrumentation or the fancier pairing of a 10.25-inch touch screen and digital gauges. Standards on the entry-level system include wireless Apple Carplay and, of course, wireless Android Auto. This allows you to stream maps right to your screen using your favorite map apps.
Not only larger, but smarter, the 10.25-inch touch display reduces how many tactile buttons are needed and provides a seamless approach to more features. It also provides a full navigation system to go you where you need to go. Stepping up from the helpful 4.2-inch driver screen, the exciting digital gauge cluster has a “hoodless” design to improve visibility. This clever feature keeps the driver informed about everything from speed limits to the current battery status in the plug in hybrid Tucson.

Standard and Hybrid Performance
Hyundai hybrid technology utilizes a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor. Controlled by an electronic six-speed automatic, the output is 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. With the Tucson Plug in Hybrid, output is 261 horsepower.
Regular hybrid fuel economy is 37 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway. With the e-handling capability, the all-wheel-drive hybrid uses torque control to improve cornering. The electric motor incrementally increases braking force to the front or rear wheels as needed during the cornering process. The plug in hybrid Tucson does even better by providing electric mileage that easily covers your daily commute.
The standard engine is a clever 2.5-cylinder unit, generating 187 horsepower. Standard front wheel drive is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. FWD fuel economy is an estimated 25 miles per gallon in the city and 32 mpg in highway driving. Quick steering and an efficient suspension provide a stable, well-modulated driving experience. Road Show praises its “superb ride”, calling it smoother than rivals.
Payload limits are a hefty 1,300 pounds. Roof rail limits are an excellent 220 pounds. The tow rating is 2,000 pounds. Ground clearance is 7.1 inches with front-wheel drive and 8.3 inches with all-wheel drive.
Safety
After crash testing under new stricter requirements, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson earned Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Indeed, the Hyundai Tucson SE comes with a remarkable amount of Hyundai features, including forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and the related automatic emergency brake. The lane keep assist and driver drowsiness monitor are additional standards. Like the SEL edition, the Hybrid Blue has all of these features as well as the blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert. Other important features include rain-sensing wipers and adaptive cruise control. The top trim has a blind spot camera and Highway Driving Assist.
The Tucson Limited trim, the Hybrid Limited has Remote Parking Assist. This is a remarkable automated feature. It allows you to stand alongside the vehicle and direct it by using the keyfob. This puts it into a parking space. Want to see it in action? Visit our dealership and ask for a demonstration!
How to Stay Cool
With the number of ways the new Tucson tries to keep you cool, you’d think it was engineered right here in the Arizona desert. The new multi-air ventilation system is something that Phoenix drivers can really embrace. With the ability to control your air flow, the unique ventilation system can start you off with a blast. Then you can push a diffuse button to spread the air more widely. The front row can be cool without being cold, allowing more air to circulate. Of course, the second row has its own vents, too.
The Blue Link app doubles as a remote starter, and it allows you to cool down the cabin before you drive. It even lets you turn on the available ventilated seats before you enter. Now that’s cool.
Best Features for Parents
Hyundai’s advanced system has interesting features such as nature soundscapes. That can help get kids to sleep. The quiet mode focuses the sound on the driver. That lets you listen to your news or music while the kids on the backseat are either sleeping or listening to their own smart devices.
Plus, when parents exit the SUV, there’s less chance of leaving someone behind accidentally. The rear seat alert signals caregivers to check the back row before leaving the car’s vicinity. Of course, there are LATCH attachments to hold baby seats in place. Trying to keep kids from stepping in front of a car, Hyundai has a Safe Exit Warning feature that reacts to traffic approaching the sides of the vehicle after it is parked. Why not put these features to the test? Schedule a test drive at your convenience.
