Hybrid models
The trims offered by Hyundai for Tucson Hybrid come with their own unique set of features. Although you may find a lot of similarities between SEL and Hybrid SEL, Limited and Hybrid Limited, the hybrid models are equipped with all-wheel drive, multiple driver safety features, heated front seats, and commendable mileage. The hybrid model also has 3 trim levels.
Here are a few of the best features of the new Hyundai Tucson:
Fuel economy
All the models in the new Hyundai Tucson lineup come with decent fuel economy, however, the hybrid cars can be more efficient. Tucson’s 2.5L four-cylinder engine delivers 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. The base hybrid model can deliver up to 38 mpg for both highway and city roads.
Safety
Hyundai has added a long list of standard and optional safety features in the new lineup. You get lane-keeping assistance, driver attention warning system, cyclist and pedestrian detection, rear occupant alert, and high-beam assist as standard safety features. Additional advanced features include a safe exit warning, adaptive cruise control, and collision avoidance assist systems for rear-cross traffic and blind spots. However, the best feature is the remote smart parking assist that lets you park your car and retrieve it without getting in. It is an excellent solution for tight parking spots.
