New 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Specs – Tucson Is One Good-Looking SUV- This 2023 Hyundai Tucson is a game-changer in the segment of small crossovers. This slick-looking SUV has a plethora of features, the most up-to-date technology, and outstanding on-road performance. Why is it that Hyundai isn’t doing anything to improve it? The Tucson Hybrid of 2023 has arrived.

Exterior Design
The Tucson Hybrid is available in three different trim levels from Hyundai. The base Blue costs $30,236, plus $1,186 for transportation, and is equipped with the same standard features as a Tucson SEL AWD without hybrid technology. There is a slew of standard features, including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and full-speed adaptive cruise control. There are also features that arrive with more basic Tucson Headlamps, forward crash warning, lane-keeping, and automatic high-beams as well as an 8″ digital display with wireless Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto but instead, of course, those rad running lights.
Its Tucson Limited’s inside is superior to that of many high-end luxury vehicles, and this isn’t hyperbole. In addition to the leather seats, which are really comfortable, the dashboard, as well as door panels, are made of high-quality materials, and the touch-sensitive controls underneath the infotainment screen are both modern and functional. That glossy black panel is indeed a magnet for fingerprint blotches, so have some wipes inside the glovebox or central consoles in case you need to remove a smudge off the buttons.
Interior Design
There are 19″ wheels, dynamic lighting fixtures, Hyundai’s Digital Key, and wireless charging in the SEL Hybrid. If you don’t mind skimping on personal comforts, this appears to be the best option for $32,835 delivered.
The $38,535 Limited Hybrid compact SUV offers all of the features you could want in a vehicle. Things like such a panoramic sunroof, remote parking aid, heated back seats, and a warmed steering wheel, and you get a bigger 10.3″ multimedia display (which curiously doesn’t support wireless CarPlay. Adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist are also standard on the Limited, making long highway rides a whole lot more bearable.
The Tucson Hybrid has the same amount of legroom and headroom for front and rear occupants as the Tucson gas-only model. If you collapse the bench flat, you have a whopping 74.5 cubic feet of storage space behind the back seats. That’s slightly less than the Honda CR-V, and more than the Escape as well as Toyota RAV4 hybrids. It’s a little price to pay for the Hyundai’s swanky interior and the swoon-worthy exterior of this SUV.
In addition to being more fuel-efficient than Tucson, the aforementioned rivals are all about the same in price. For a hybrid crossover, Hyundai is the best-looking and best-driving vehicle, as well as having a luxurious interior and the greatest in-vehicle entertainment system. This crossover’s features make me willing to give up a few MPGs in exchange for them. In addition to setting new standards for compact SUVs, the Tucson Hybrid further raises the bar.

Hybrid vehicles are known for their low fuel use, and Tucson is no exception. According to the EPA, the most fuel-efficient Blue model will get 38 mpg combined, but my loaded Limited gets slightly less. Following 300 miles of evaluation, I was able to meet the EPA’s mixed rating with ease, and this is despite the fact that my driving style has never been particularly mild. Tucson Hybrid encourages aggressive driving, which would be a significant reason why this CUV is so fantastic. New 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Specs
While adequate, the 187 horsepower provided by the standard 2.5L naturally aspirated I4 in Tucson isn’t exactly thrilling. In the Tucson Hybrid, the 1.6-liter turbo I4 delivers 180 horsepower and 195 of torque at under 1,500 revolutions per minute rather than electrifying the drivetrain. Additional 59 horsepower and 195 pounds-feet of torque are made available by an electric motor powered by a 1.5-kilowatt-hour battery. For the sake of comparison, Hyundai’s 226 horsepower figure is a significant improvement over Tucson’s base model and is especially impressive when considering the car’s abundant low-end torque.

A 6-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive are standard on all Tucson Hybrids; from the minute I got behind the wheel, I could see there was a noticeable difference. A burst of turbo torque lets this SUV gets up to speed faster than the regular Tucson thanks to an electric start-stop system. Aside from the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, which I’m not sure would be useful in a car like this, the gearshifts are smooth and unobtrusive.
With Hyundai’s e-handling technology, which utilizes the electric motor’s power to effectively bring torque vectoring, Tucson Hybrids slow down the front wheels while entering a turn and transfer more torque to a rear axle while you exit, Tucsons become more maneuverable. Rather than turning Tucson into a sports vehicle, it’s something that you can truly feel on curving roads.
For a compact crossover, both gas-only and electric Tucsons have the same suspension and steering settings. The MacPherson front spring with multilink rear suspension makes the Tucson stable and comfortable at all times thanks to its light but precise steering. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving on 19-inch wheels or not, this Hyundai isn’t going to slam into anything. New 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Specs
There are few CUVs that have a hybrid option that is both more economical and better equipped than a gasoline-powered vehicle. Moreover, the Tucson plug-in hybrid’s 261 hp and 32 miles of the all driving range have me psyched to test-drive it in the near future.
