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.
