Performance Features
The new Tucson has three powertrain options, though we focus on the Hybrid and Hybrid Plug-in models. Still, it means the Hybrid has a combined horsepower of 226 and 258 lb-ft torque, while the Plug-in has 261 horsepower. The battery output for the Hybrid is 64 kW, while the Plug-in has 88 kW. This more powerful electric motor and battery ensures you can drive up to 53 km on electric power only.
Design Elements
The models have all-season tires and aluminum wheels. The N Line features exclusive design elements, like a unique front bumper fascia and grille, rear bumper, diffuser, spoiler, and lower lamp design. The door’s upper mouldings are gloss black, and it features a single twin-tip exhaust outlet. Meanwhile, the Luxury and Ultimate trims boast dark chrome front and rear bumper trims and front radiator grilles. They also have a Satin Finish mirror base.
Technology and Safety Features
Now standard on all hybrid/PHEV models is a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster display and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment display with navigation. Drivers can enjoy their favourite music with the premium Bose radio system and eight speakers scattered across the interior. These models also boast button shift-by-wire gear selectors and paddle shifters.
The Hyundai SmartSense system also offers a full suite of safety measures, like adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance assist, and blind-view monitor. However, while the N Line has rear occupant alert (ROA), the Luxury and Ultimate models have Ultrasonic ROA. The Ultimate trim also has various other safety whistles and bells, like a forward and reverse parking distance warning and a surround-view monitor.
