2027 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

The Hyundai Tucson gets a major redesign for 2027, and it checks a lot of boxes for compact SUV shoppers. It gets a little bigger this year, which means a roomier interior, and its bold new design makes a statement. There’s a rugged new XRT Pro trim, an all-new infotainment system with an available 17-inch screen, and an updated hybrid powertrain with a targeted fuel economy rating of up to 42 mpg in mixed driving. Naturally, being a Hyundai, it also has class-leading warranty coverage. The new Hyundai Tucson is a serious challenger to the best-+selling SUVs in this competitive class.

Powertrain

*AWD is standard on XRT Pro

We expect the 2027 Hyundai Tucson to start in the low $30K range, and the hybrid option should cost a couple of thousand dollars extra.

Pricing for the 2027 Hyundai Tucson will likely be on par with the rest of the compact SUV class with standard or optional hybrid powertrains. This competitive set includes the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, Kia Sportage, and Jeep Cherokee.

Before buying a Tucson, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Hyundai Tucson resale value has historically been about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The Hyundai Tucson’s redesigned interior is quite different from its predecessor. It’s full of rounded edges in places like the armrests and the passenger-side dashboard. It’s intended to imitate soft living room furniture, and the design and materials of the Limited model we sat in did so well. There’s also a nice openness to the center stack area, with up to two wireless charging pads while still leaving room for some cubby space, two cupholders, and two center consoles. The Tucson’s interior has something we always love to see: a bank of physical knobs and switches for audio and climate control duties.

When we sat in the driver’s seat, the screens in the new Tucson never felt overwhelming. Rather than one long rectangle that’s been the common screen setup in Hyundai models in recent years, the new Pleos Connect infotainment system in the Tucson has one central screen that’s either 12.9 or 17 inches large, plus a satisfyingly simple 9-inch digital gauge cluster.

We found the rear seat space very adult-friendly with 41.9 inches of legroom. In addition to the space, the Limited model we sat in had heated rear outboard seats, a household-style power outlet, and USB-C ports integrated in the front seats. There’s also a nifty phone holder by the cupholders in the rear door panels.

Finally, the cargo space in the new Tucson is very generous, with 41.7 cubic feet of space behind the back seats. That’s a bit better than some of the roomier SUVs in this class, like the Honda CR-V and Kia Sportage. It’s so roomy that the Tucson almost blurs the line between compact and midsize, making it a great SUV for families who don’t need a third row.

Pleos Connect infotainment
This is Hyundai’s all-new infotainment system, which, in the Tucson, has a standard 12.9-inch screen and an optional 17-inch screen. Similar to a Tesla, the big screen serves as both an infotainment display and a driver information center, with crucial info like the speedometer and fuel gauge. Additionally, a slim 9-inch display behind the steering wheel serves as a minimalistic digital gauge cluster. It has Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, its own app store, and a voice assistant that Hyundai calls Gleo AI.

XRT Pro trim
We’ve seen XRT appearance packages on earlier Tucson models, but this is the first Tucson XRT Pro with real off-road upgrades like all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, and Smart Terrain Assist, which can automatically change drive modes based on the terrain. It comes standard with the hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive (AWD).

Up to 42 mpg
The Hyundai Tucson’s optional hybrid powertrain is updated to be even more efficient than the outgoing model, with a targeted fuel economy rating of up to 42 combined mpg. It also boasts decent performance specs with 233 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, which means getting the efficient hybrid doesn’t mean being stuck with a slow car.
