The overview

The Tucson plug-in hybrid takes the regular hybrid a step further. It uses a 1.6-liter turbo engine, an electric drive, and a larger battery than the regular hybrid. It is rated at 33 miles of electric propulsion before transitioning to regular hybrid operation, in which it gets 35 mpg combined, according to EPA. It is quite easy to remain in electric power during urban and suburban drives. For high power demands, the gas engine kicks in. It takes about two and a half hours to charge the battery on 240-volt, and can also be done on regular 120-volt overnight. Other aspects mirror the Tucson line with a firm, steady, and comfortable ride, responsive and secure handling, and a relatively quiet cabin. The rear seat is roomy, and the cargo area is generous for the class. Controls are easy to use, but the flush push-button gear selector takes some getting used to. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard. The Tucson received a refresh for 2025 which included new exterior styling, a standard 12.3" display with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a slight horsepower increase on the hybrid models -- from 261 to 268 for the PHEV.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
