The Hyundai Tucson is a remarkable compact sport utility vehicle and has always been one of the most popular vehicles in its class. It’s fun to drive, fuel-efficient, sporty, powerful, comes in multiple versions with plenty of features, and has a lot of cargo space. And now, it has been completely redesigned.
Not only is the 2022 Hyundai Tucson even more spacious, but it also now comes in a hybrid version and even a plug-in hybrid trim. It also features a striking design that is nothing like other compact SUVs and getting noticed in the new Tucson happens every day.
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is now powered by a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder engine out of the gate that delivers 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and comes with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. This engine is one of the most powerful in its class, and yet the Tucson is one of the most affordable SUVs in its segment with a starting price of just $27,099.
The big news with the new Tucson is the introduction of a variety of hybrid powertrains which really give the Tucson a distinct advantage when it comes to fuel economy. Offering an estimated 227 horsepower, the Tucson hybrid will deliver an average fuel consumption rating of just 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres which is exceptional for an SUV with over 1,000 litres of total cargo space.
As for the Tucson plug-in hybrid, it offers 902 litres of cargo space, 261 horsepower, 295 pound-feet of torque, and nearly 70 kilometres of range according to initial reports.
Inside the Tucson, you get an impressive cockpit that is both spacious and built with high-quality materials. The overall feel of the interior is airy and welcoming, and you have more legroom in the Tucson than in the RAV4 or even the new Nissan Rogue.
