2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

 

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid is a family-friendly and eco-friendly model offered by Hyundai this year. With 33 miles of all-electric driving range available and a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder paired with a 13.8 kWh 360 V lithium-ion battery, there's plenty of fun to go around. Building on the already successful Tucson nameplate, your PHEV configuration comes in two trims and retails for a starting price point of $38,725.

It is spacious, modern, powerful on the road, and conserves fuel and energy far better than others in its class. However, we don't want to spill all the beans yet, so continue reading below to learn more about this year's Tucson Plug-In Hybrid!

What's New for 2024?

Getting into what's new on the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, all trims of the Tucson Hybrid and Tucson PHEV will receive the 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen formerly reserved for the SEL Convenience and Limited trims. Hyundai will also offer haptic feedback through the steering wheel for lane-keep assist and blind-spot collision avoidance as standard features.

Exterior-wise, your PHEV sees Amazon Gray and Hampton Gray paints exclusively. Besides these updates, the Tucson Plug-In Hybrid should stay the same as last year and is expected to see a broader overhaul in the next couple of releases. We are currently in the 4th generation of this nameplate, so the fifth gen will likely be the next huge revamp for the Tucson ICE, Hybrid, and PHEV.

Fuel Economy and MPG

For those wondering about the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid's fuel economy, this SUV has impressive EPA ratings across the board. For your MPGe figures, this five-seater will achieve 80 combined electric miles per gallon/kWh, while ICE ratings put the Tucson PHEV at 35 combined MPGs. This model only comes in AWD, so these ratings apply to both the SEL and Limited trims.

Don't forget about the 33 miles of all-electric driving, either.

Is the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Right For You?
