Impressive Fuel Economy from the Hybrid SUV

With fuel prices continuing to rise, hybrid vehicles have become more popular than ever before. The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is available as a mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Both offer exceptional fuel efficiency, and they both come with the legendary Hyundai powertrain warranty.

At Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland near Richmond Heights, we proudly feature the Tucson Hybrid along with other hybrids and fully electric vehicles in the highly rated Hyundai lineup.

Choosing Between the Mild-Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid has a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. This mild-hybrid engine combination delivers 226 horsepower, which is impressive for a compact crossover SUV.

The plug-in hybrid version has the same powertrain but delivers 261 horsepower. The electric motor is powered by a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery that needs about two hours to fully charge with a Level 2 charger. With a full charge, the PHEV has about 33 miles of all-electric range before the combustion engine starts. However, the hybrid drivetrain will work together to get the best range depending on the driving situation and conditions. Both hybrid models come with standard all-wheel drive.

The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 37/36, which is on par for mild hybrid systems. The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid has better fuel economy, especially when drivers stay within the 33-mile electric range. The EPA-estimated fuel economy is 80 MPGe or a combined 35 city/highway combination.

Staying Safe with Driver-Assistive Features

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and PHEV come with an impressive collection of standard driver-assistive features. These safety features helped the Tucson Hybrid earn top safety ratings from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety.

Hyundai outfits the Tucson Hybrid models with Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Driver Drowsiness Monitoring, and a Rearview Camera. Top trims like the Hybrid Limited trim come with available Front and Rear Parking Sensors, a Surround-view Parking Camera System, and Remote Smart Park Assist.

The compact SUV also comes with popular infotainment technology. The Tucson has center stack virtual controls and a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen with an available 10.25-inch touchscreen. The automaker includes technology like a Push-Button Start, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and four USB ports.
