Delivering improved safety features and comfortable spacious interiors, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson plug-in hybrid models are recognized as some of the best family-friendly SUVs. With innovative battery technologies, these plug-in hybrid SUVs are a stepping stone between more efficient gas-powered hybrids and fully electric vehicles.
The 2024 Hyundai Tucson family of SUVs has four hybrid trim options, including the following two plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) trims: SEL Convenience and Limited. From increased efficiencies to luxurious interiors, these two plug-in hybrid models offer plenty of impressive features to enhance your driving experience.
All-Electric Driving Capacity
While full hybrids recharge batteries through regenerative braking and only use electric power during slower speeds, plug-in hybrid models have a larger battery that is the primary power source and can be recharged by an external power source. Gas power only kicks in after the battery is drained, allowing you to increase carbon efficiencies. The SEL and Limited trims both have lithium-ion batteries with 88 kW of power output, offering 33 miles of all-electric range and a combined MPG of 35.
Smooth Power and Handling
The Tucson plug-in hybrids are also equipped with an inline 4-cylinder turbo engine that runs on a gasoline direct injection (GDI) fuel system in conjunction with the battery. The combined hybrid system horsepower is 261, and the combined torque is 258. Standard in both plug-in hybrid trims to improve driving stability and handling are also 6-speed automatic transmissions with Shiftronic, motor-driven power steering (MDPS), and the HTRAC all-wheel drive (AWD) intelligent multi-mode system, providing added traction when needed.
Optimized Safety and Assistance Tech
Earning advanced safety ratings, the Hyundai is equipped with daytime and nighttime driving safety features, such as the SmartSense driver assistance technologies. Standard equipment for both plug-in hybrid trims includes 4-wheel disc brakes with an Anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic parking brake (EPB), automatic headlights, and high beam assist (HBA).
Luxurious Interior Comforts
The standard 8-way power driver seat is heated with lumbar support, and the 10.25-inch touchscreen display optimizes connectivity with onboard navigation, dynamic voice recognition, and compatibility with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. For added luxury, opt for the Limited trim that also includes heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, memory driver seat, heated steering wheel, Bose premium audio system, auto-dimming review mirror, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
