The 2026 Hyundai Tucson is a compact SUV that stands out in one of the most competitive segments by offering three distinct powertrain choices across a clean, easy-to-navigate lineup of five trims — SE, SEL, XRT, SEL Premium, and Limited. Choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder (187 hp, 178 lb-ft, up to 33 MPG highway) with standard FWD and available HTRAC AWD, the turbocharged 1.6L hybrid (231 hp, 271 lb-ft, up to 38 MPG combined) with standard AWD, or the plug-in hybrid (231 hp) for buyers who want maximum efficiency with an electric driving option. Every 2026 Tucson comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense safety, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Hyundai Digital Key 2.0, and a best-in-class 38.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. The rugged XRT adds standard AWD, Terrain Mode with Mud, Snow, and Sand settings, and bold exterior cladding for light off-road confidence, while the SEL Convenience and above step up to a panoramic dual 12.3-inch curved display, ambient interior lighting, and wireless charging, and the flagship Limited tops the range with genuine leather, ventilated front seats, a surround-view camera, and a head-up display — all backed by Hyundai's class-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
