Hyundai Tucson Hybrid review

AutoExec Summary
Hyundai’s new Tucson Hybrid is a late but welcome arrival in the SUV market. The hybrid SUV features a unique “baby mode” that smooths out throttle and brake inputs to reduce front-to-rear pitching, helping soothe young passengers and potentially reducing car sickness. With a combination of a 1.49kWh battery, 47.7kW electric motor, and turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, the Tucson Hybrid delivers 172kW and 367Nm while using 5.3L/100km of fuel. The SUV offers modern features like a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, wireless charging, and advanced safety technology. Prices start at around $50,000 drive-away, with reasonable service costs and a spacious 582-litre boot. The Tucson Hybrid impresses with its smooth and quiet driving experience, nimble handling, and efficient fuel consumption, making it a strong contender in the hybrid SUV segment.
