2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid review

Hyundai Tucson Hybrid: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

9.2/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; easy to see out of and park. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $34,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Second one we've owned

Replaced an older Hyundai with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

★★★★☆Sofia W. · Tampa, FL · 20 months owned
Better than the test drive suggested

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
