2022 Tucson Performance

The base models rely on only good old-fashioned internal combustion. A new naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter engine lifted from the Sonata serves as the entry-level engine. It's mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to the front wheels. An all-wheel-drive system is available across the range. Hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models use an identical 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that works in combination with an electric motor located in the transmission. The four-wheel-drive system remains mechanical, so you won't have to worry about losing grip in treacherous weather once the battery runs flat. All models come with a 2,000-lb towing capacity for braked trailers and 1,650 lbs for trailers without stoppers.

Engine and Transmission

At the lower end of the range, a 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine is the only option. It produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A standard all-wheel-drive system with Normal, Sport and Smart settings is available for $1,400 extra. Two versions of the hybrid powertrain are available, utilizing the same 1.6-liter turbo four-pot delivering 180 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. In both cars, the electric motor is located within the six-speed automatic transmission, which means the all-new Tucson still relies on a mechanical coupling for the AWD system. The HEV model uses a 59 hp/195 lb-ft electric motor and a 64 kW battery, resulting in a combined power output of 226 hp. The plug-in hybrid uses a 90 hp/224 lb-ft electric motor, an 88 kW battery, and a system capacity of 13.8 kWh. The result is 261 hp and an electric range of 28 miles. According to Hyundai, the battery can be charged within two hours at a level 2 charging station.
