Yes! There is a new Hyundai Tucson coming out and it’s set to change the compact SUV class with a host of segment-first features that haven’t been offered up until this point. Join Vern Eide Hyundai Sioux City as we introduce Iowa drivers to the soon-to-be-released 2022 Hyundai Tucson.
Hyundai is releasing details for the 2022 Tucson and it’s causing quite a stir in automotive circles. This redesign will involve more than just a few new styling cues and paint choices. Building on an already successful SUV that has been recognized by experts ranging from the IIHS to J.D. Power, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson promises to have more horsepower (187 hp estimated for gasoline models), more engine choices (new Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-in Hybrid), more interior space (both passenger and cargo volume), and more features (aforementioned segment-firsts) than ever before. Below is a list of 2022 Tucson features:
All of the features above are firsts for the compact SUV segment, but the 2022 Hyundai Tucson will also be offering an available 10.25-inch touchscreen display, 10.25-inch digital cluster, enhanced SmartSense safety technologies, and the Tucson INTERSPACE interior, a design concept which carefully uses the cabin’s space, refined materials, and technology to create a multi-layered experience that even features ambient mood lighting with 64 colors and 10 brightness levels.
Many Iowa car shoppers have asked our staff, “Will Hyundai make a hybrid SUV?” Although Hyundai makes the Kona Electric SUV, we are excited to say that yes, there will soon be multiple Hyundai hybrid SUVs to choose from. Joining the new gasoline-powered 2.5-liter Smartstream GDI MPI engine will be the Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-in Hybrid models.
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid will consist of a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, 44.2 kW electric motor, and 1.49 kWh battery pack. This hybrid powertrain has an estimated output of 226 total system horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque, and a whopping, over 500-mile driving range. Whether you opt for the Tucson Blue Hybrid or Tucson Limited Hybrid, either trim comes standard with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive.
The tagline for this model is electric when you want it and gasoline when you need it, which is great news for Sioux City commuters. The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid combines the same 1.6L turbocharger with a 13.8 kWh hybrid battery for an estimated all-electric range (AER) of 28 miles and estimated fuel economy of over 70 MPGe. And again, drivers will have their choice of the Tucson Blue Plug-in Hybrid and Tucson Limited Plug-in Hybrid, with both models being outfitted with standard HTRAC All-Wheel Drive.
What is the release date for the 2022 Tucson? Hyundai has announced the SUV will start showing up at dealerships in Spring 2021, while the trusted auto experts at KBB.com have put the date closer to March 2021 and that’s when we expect the SUV to begin arriving at Vern Eide Hyundai Sioux City.
How much will the 2022 Hyundai Tucson cost? Car and Driver has speculated that a starting price for the newly redesigned Tucson will be around $25,000, but Hyundai is yet to confirm or deny. What we do know is the 2022 Tucson will be available in eight trim levels (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models), seven unique colors, and three different powertrains.
