2026 Hyundai Tucson vs 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid
Serving Mentor, OH
The Hyundai Tucson has long been a top pick among crossover SUV shoppers, thanks to its overall quality, impressive feature mix, and enviable design. The Tucson Hybrid debuted several years ago alongside the gas-powered Tucson. These models are closely related, but there are a few key differences to consider as you prepare to make your next purchase.
Performance
There are five gas-powered trim levels available for the 2026 Tucson. Each of these trims is equipped with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 187 horsepower. The gas engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and offers your choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The Tucson Hybrid is available with four trim levels in 2026. They are equipped with an electric motor and a turbo four-cylinder engine. This system delivers 231 horsepower and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Every Tucson Hybrid comes with standard all-wheel drive.
Appearance
The enviable style of the 2026 Tucson is identical to the Tucson Hybrid’s design. Both models feature a modern, athletic design with a gently angled roofline, raked rear, and tapered side windows. The edgy, crisscrossed accentuation on the sides adds a contemporary touch. The hood is well-defined and makes a confident descent toward the curved front end. The wide grille is styled with an innovative, staggered mesh design. The stacked LED bars on the sides integrate the grille with the headlights. Some of the features available with the Tucson and Tucson Hybrid are heated side mirrors, a power liftgate, roof rails, keyless entry, and up to 19-inch wheels.
