Performance
Driving thrills with low-emissions and no-compromises.
The TUCSON’s plug-in hybrid system delivers maximum fuel efficiency and some serious driving thrills. It is based on the potent combination of the 1.6-litre T-GDi Smartstream engine paired with a 66.9 kW electric motor, powered by a 13.8 kWh lithium polymer battery. Together, the petrol engine and electric motor deliver 265PS maximum power and 304 Nm maximum torque.
Energy flow.
Depending on the driving situation, the TUCSON Plug-in 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 Plug-in 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.
-
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.
Charging
Multiple convenient ways to charge.
Hyundai's powertrain technology enables fast and easy charging, whether you're at a public AC charging station, a home wall box or a domestic wall socket. You can also remotely schedule charging via your smartphone and the Bluelink® app during off-peak hours to take advantage of lower rates.
-
Programmable charging.
The TUCSON Plug-in Hybrid's advanced battery management system gives you complete control over when and how you want to charge it. Pick a time that best fits your schedule and budget, with clear overview of remaining charging time.
-
Charging time reservation.
Take advantage of the scheduled charging feature to set specific start and stop times for charging, maximising the use of lower off-peak electricity rates. Wake up to a fully charged battery without any hassle.
-
Charging limit.
Set a Charging Limit – for example 50% – to take advantage of a fast-charger station in the city for the drive home – and then fully charge the battery at home while you’re sleep to take advantage of low electricity rates at night.

Experience a new level of climate control.
Everyone is different. Some people want it hot, while others prefer it chilly. That's why we included Multi-Air Mode technology in the TUCSON Plug-in Hybrid. It diffuses the air through indirect and direct air vents, causing the air to blow more softly while maintaining the same total wind volume. Furthermore, the three-zone climate control allows you to choose various temperatures for the driver, front, and rear seat passengers.
