Explore the features of the Hyundai TUCSON Hybrid .
Setting new standards.
The TUCSON Hybrid is setting new standards in the compact SUV segment with its impressive range of state-of-the-art smart tech. Enjoy the latest connectivity as well as best-in-class safety features and advanced driver-assistance systems.
Performance
Electrifying efficiency and driving fun.
The TUCSON Hybrid is powered by the new 1.6-litre T-GDi Smartstream petrol engine and a 44.2 kW electric motor powered by a 1.49 kWh lithium-ion battery. The system is the most powerful in the powertrain line-up, with a combined output of 230 PS and 350 Nm torque – which means you get to enjoy plenty of fun behind the wheel while feeling good about lower fuel consumption.
Energy flow.
Depending on the driving situation, the TUCSON Hybrid switches seamlessly between its petrol engine and electric motor. The regenerative braking system charges the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. The energy stored in the battery then powers the electric motor to help in acceleration, uphill driving and low speed driving. This complex energy flow is illustrated in these animations.
-
Start/ Low Speed.
When starting or driving at low speed, the electricity stored in the battery powers the electric motor to move the TUCSON Hybrid.
-
Acceleration/Uphill.
During heavy acceleration or driving uphill, the electric motor and petrol engine work in parallel to maximise acceleration and minimise fuel consumption.
-
Constant Speed.
At constant speeds, power is provided by either the petrol engine or the electric motor, whichever is the most energy-efficient in that situation.
-
Deceleration/Downhill.
The regenerative braking system charges the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. When decelerating or driving downhill, the energy generated is stored in the battery.
-
Regenerative Braking.
When decelerating (e.g. through braking or when driving downhill) the electric motor operates as a generator and regenerates kinetic energy into electric energy, which is then stored in the battery and used to power the electric motor.
More performance. Less emissions. CVVD Engine Technology.
Hyundai has developed the world’s first Continuously Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology. It optimizes engine performance and fuel efficiency while also being eco-friendly. The valve control technology regulates the duration of valve opening and closing according to driving conditions.
-
HTRAC™ All-wheel drive system.
Bad weather? Hairpin curves? No problem. The innovative HTRAC™ All-Wheel Drive system provides optimum handling and cornering performance. -
Terrain Mode Selector.
Snow? Sand? Mud? No problem. The Terrain Mode selector lets you conveniently switch drive modes to optimise driving performance and all-wheel drive settings for different situations. -
Electronic Controlled Suspension (ECS).
Enjoy better handling. By controlling the damping force on each individual wheel, ECS reduces roll, pitch and vertical motion to enhance ride and control.
Connectivity
Cutting-edge connectivity to-go.
Naturally, the TUCSON Hybrid has also been upgraded with cutting edge connectivity features like Bluelink® Connected Car Services, which lets you control your car from your smartphone – or with your voice. A free five-year subscription to Hyundai’s LIVE Services is included with the 10.25” big screen navigation system.
Bluelink® Connected Car Services.
Bluelink® Connected Car Services bring seamless connectivity directly into the TUCSON Hybrid with online voice recognition and a wide range of features to make your drive more convenient and enjoyable. On top of the many clever features you can control with the Bluelink app, a free five-year subscription to Hyundai’s LIVE Services is also included with the navigation system.

Convenience
Big on on comfort and convenience.
Versatile and connected, the TUCSON is also big on comfort and convenience. Clever features like remote folding seats make loading cargo quick and easy. And a smart walk-in device gives you easy control over the front passenger seat. Your passengers will love the heated seats in the front and rear as well as Multi Air Mode with indirect air vents for a more pleasant indoor environment.
Smart power tailgate.
Enjoy easy loading. The tailgate opens automatically when the proximity of the smart key is detected for 3 seconds – which is especially practical when you have both hands full coming out of the shops. What’s more, you can set the lift height to different settings according to your preference.
Experience a new level of climate control.
Let’s face it. Everybody’s different. Some like it hot and others want it cooler. That’s why we’ve equipped the Tucson with Multi-Air Mode technology. It diffuses the air through indirect and direct air vent so the air blows more gently but the overall wind volume remains the same. And the three-zone climate control lets you set different temperature zones for the driver, front and back seat passengers.
-
Multi-Air Mode technology.
Maximise your individual comfort. For the first time in a Hyundai vehicle, the TUCSON’s hidden type Multi-Air Mode technology consists of a combination of direct and indirect air vents for air conditioning and heating to create a more pleasant indoor environment with more gentle air flow. -
Heated and ventilated seats.
Cool in summer. Warm in winter. The driver and front seat passenger will love the optional heated and ventilated seats. And there are also heated rear seats available for the back seat passengers. -
Three zone climate control.
Keep everybody happy. The three-zone climate control now caters to passengers in the rear seats in addition to occupants in the front of the vehicle.
Safety
Best-in-class safety and driving assist package.
With best-in-class advanced driver-assistance systems and an active safety package with a range of innovative features, the TUCSON Hybrid delivers even more peace of mind. Equipped with an enhanced seven-airbag system, it features a first row centre side airbag, a feature unique to this segment. It prevents front row passengers from colliding with one another, minimising the risk of serious injuries.
-
Forward Collusion-avoidance Assist with Junction Turning (FCA JX).
The FCA system automatically brakes when it detects sudden braking by the car ahead or detects pedestrians or cyclists in your path. Now updated with a Junction Turning feature, specially calibrated to help prevent frontal collisions when turning left at intersections (in left hand drive countries).
-
Lane Following Assist (LFA).
The TUCSON Hybrid features Lane Following Assist (LFA). When activated, it keeps the car centred in its lane at speeds between 0 and 180 km/h on motorways and city streets.
-
High Beam Assist (HBA).
Detects oncoming vehicles and vehicles in the same lane and automatically switches to low-beam. When no more vehicles are detected, it reactivates the high beams, maximising your range of vision.
Highway Drive Assist (HDA).
For the first time, the TUCSON Hybrid has been equipped with Highway Driving Assist (HDA). The feature is a combination of Lane Following Assist and Navigation Based Smart Cruise Control, utilizing sensors and map data to ensure safe operation to ensure safe operation as well as to automatically adjust speed for incoming bends on the highway or for speed limit recognition. A special button on the steering wheel allows the driver to activate HDA with just one click.
-
Navigation Based Smart Cruise Control (SCC).
More safety and less stress. Maintains a set distance to the vehicle ahead, also controlling the speed for incoming curves as part of Highway Drive Assist (HDA). -
Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM).
Now you can see the rearward left- and right-hand side views of the TUCSON on a screen in the digital cluster. The cameras are activated by the use of the turn indicator during lane changes. -
