Unveiled in late 2020 for the 2022 model year alongside its conventional gas and hybrid models, the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid electrifies Hyundai’s most popular crossover SUV. Using a similar plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) set up to its Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid sibling, this compact crossover competes against models like the Toyota RAV4 Prime, Ford Escape PHEV, Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid.
In its 4th generation, the Tucson model line gets a unique jewel-like grille incorporating polygonal headlights that also helps to cool the 1.6 liter turbocharged inline-4. The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid includes a 10.25” infotainment system, SmartSense driver assistance, and HTRAC all-wheel drive as standard regardless of trim level.
The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid includes a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery alongside its 1.6 liter turbo charged inline-four engine. While the battery itself is smaller than many of its rivals, it manages an impressive 33 miles of all electric range, perfect for most drivers making their daily commute without using the gas engine. Regardless of trim, Tucson Plug-in Hybrid owners can take advantage of 7.2 kW of Level 2 charging speeds.
Level 2 home chargers like the JuiceBox 32 allow drivers to take advantage of the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid’s 7.2 kW Level 2 charging utilizing our most cost-effective charger, even getting it for a lower cost through your local municipality or utility’s incentive program.
