CAPABILITY

Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid

Remember a time when life felt more carefree? Maybe an open weekend was the perfect opportunity for a spontaneous road trip, or perhaps you made a last-minute turn off from your everyday commute to take the long way home so that you could stop at a bakery. With impressive capabilities, the Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid makes these unprompted moments possible again.

Get Up & Go

When the wind captures your attention and you catch yourself lost in daydreams, it’s time to climb into the Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid. Follow your instincts and take the turns that feel right. Even if you venture off the beaten path, the Tucson PHEV has the power to keep moving forward.

HTRAC All Wheel Drive comes standard, providing the grip for low-friction surfaces like dirt paths. When traversing unpaved areas, an independent front and rear suspension system helps minimize the feel of natural ruts, while Drive Mode Select offers selectable modes that may help further enhance grip.

If you believe the more, the merrier, you’ll love that the Tucson PHEV has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. Hook up a teardrop camper to turn quick adventures into overnight excursions or tow an ATV to get an up-close experience with nature. No matter where you go, the Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid has the all-terrain capability to get you there and back easily.

Thrilling Power, Mindful Impact

As a plug-in hybrid vehicle, the Hyundai Tucson PHEV combines strength and efficiency. This compact SUV pairs a 1.6L engine with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery to help maximize the fun while minimizing trips to the pump.

Net Horsepower 268 HP
Net Torque 271 lb-ft
EPA-Estimated MPG Rating 35 city/35 highway MPG*
EPA-Estimated Electric Driving Range 32 miles*

The steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters serve two purposes: to help you feel more engaged with your commute and to help you control regenerative braking. Regenerative braking captures brake energy and recharges the battery while on the go. The paddle shifters allow you to toggle between four intensity levels of regenerative braking to find the best option for your driving style.

From engine output to all-electric driving capabilities, the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is ready to maximize your commute while reducing time at the pump.

UTILITY

Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid

For a life constantly on the go, the Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid helps keep you grounded in the moment. Its cabin is designed to offer long-term comfort for all passengers. Coupled with a roomy layout that grows with your family, the Tucson PHEV is here to help with today's needs and those years down the road.

Room to Grow

With 137.8 cubic feet of total interior volume, the Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid strikes the perfect balance between compact and spacious. While still being easy to park in congested areas, the Tucson PHEV ensures room for everyone and everything.

Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Dimensions
Headroom (front/rear) 40.1/39.5 in.
Legroom (front/rear) 41.4/39.5 in.
Shoulder room (front/rear) 57.6/56 in.
Hip Room (front/rear) 54.5/53.9 in.

If you like to keep life organized and prepared, the Tucson PHEV’s cargo hold makes it easy. With a minimum of 31.1 cubic feet of space, there’s plenty of room for your emergency roadside kit, collapsible storage bins, soccer bags, hiking boots, or even home décor items. The standard dual level cargo floor keeps just-in-case items neatly tucked away, so everything stays secure and accessible.

And when it’s time to tackle larger projects, like bringing home a new bookshelf, folding down the rear seats expands the space to a maximum 66.3 cubic feet, giving you the flexibility to carry it all without compromise.

Your Everyday Escape

Step inside the Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid, and you'll immediately notice a space crafted with you in mind. An 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat makes finding the perfect position that hugs your body's natural curves easy.

For families with multiple drivers, the optional Integrated Memory System is essential. With a button press, the seat position, outside mirrors, and other compatible systems return to the saved position, which can help save time at the start of every commute.

Mindful comfort features like these are shared throughout the cabin, including these standard and available features:

  • 3-step heated front seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Dual automatic temperature control

An optional 64-color Ambient Interior Lighting system lets you modify the cabin’s ambiance to match your ever-changing mood. Start your morning with a soft blue or white to set a calm tone for the day. Heading to a live event? Switch the color to a vibrant purple or red to match your excited energy. With the Tucson PHEV, comfort is tangible and can always be adjusted to meet your needs.

INNOVATION

Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid

Cutting-edge technology is no longer reserved for high-end luxury cars. The Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid adds innovative features that help you stay connected, entertained, and informed across every mile.

Safety in Numbers

Safety is a top priority, especially with precious cargo on board. The Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid reinforces this commitment to safety with its advanced Hyundai SmartSense driver-assist suite. Standard on both trim levels, Hyundai SmartSense uses sophisticated technology to scan for hazards and alert you to those you may have missed. During certain conditions, gentle braking or steering may occur to help avoid a collision.

With nearly a dozen standard driver-assist features, you can feel completely confident whenever you take the wheel. Some notable features include:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian/Cyclist/Junction Turning Detection
  • Blind-Spot Collision Warning
  • Driver Attention Warning
  • Lane Keeping Assist

Arriving at your destination is just as safe as getting there, thanks to several optional parking assistance features. One of the most popular features is Remote Smart Parking Assist, which can perform automatic parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers once the SUV is lined up with a spot. The best part? Parking is as simple as pressing a button. You can watch the Tucson PHEV slide neatly into tight spaces from a distance.

Always in the Know

Life doesn't stop when you're behind the wheel. Family members still need to reach you; grocery lists must be made, and the latest episode of your favorite podcast won't listen to itself. Thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, your digital world is always within reach.

Once your phone is connected, use the 12.3-inch touchscreen display to access a curated playlist and other digital features. If you need to respond to a text message while driving or play a particular song, the available Dynamic Voice Recognition has you covered. Simply speak a natural command—like, “Let David know I’m on my way”—and the Tucson PHEV handles it without taking your eyes off the road.

Don’t let a low phone battery stop you from taking the scenic path home. The Tucson PHEV has up to four USB ports and an optional wireless phone charger to help keep devices charged no matter how many miles you roam.
