Introducing the 2026 Hyundai TUCSON

While the 2026 Hyundai TUCSON is largely a carryover model, it has key upgrades, such as a multi-terrain mode on the XRT trim and a maximum towing capacity of 2,750 lbs on gas engine models. Explore the standard equipment and available features for the new TUCSON today. 

The baseline gas motor for the TUCSON is a 2.5-liter I4 engine that provides 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Standard selectable drive modes for the front-wheel driveline are Sport, Normal, and My Drive. If you opt for the HTRAC AWD, a Snow driving mode is added for better cold-weather performance. An eight-speed automatic transmission and an engine idling detection system are also standard. 

The TUCSON is an eco-friendly SUV with an estimated mileage of 25 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the freeway when the motor is paired with the standard front-wheel drivetrain. The AWD configuration delivers 24 MPG in the city, 30 MPG on the interstate, and 26 MPG combined. 

Exterior Features

The base TUCSON has 17-inch alloy wheels, while upper models like the SEL and SEL Premium have 18-inch alloy wheels. A compact spare tire is part of the standard equipment so you can change a flat and get back on the road more quickly. The exterior lights are all designed with LED bulbs, such as the front turn signals, daytime running lights, and bi-LED headlights with integrated high beam assist. 

Upper trims like the SEL are equipped with rear privacy glass, roof side rails, and a hands-free smart liftgate with adjustable height. The SEL Premium has a power tilting/sliding sunroof, while the Limited trim has a stylish panoramic sunroof for added sophistication. 

Interior Features

This model has standard five-passenger seating with a 40/60 split-folding second-row seat so you can instantly reconfigure cargo space as needed. You can also use the dual-level cargo floor to organize your cargo space by placing items beneath the cargo deckboard. 

A six-way adjustable driver’s seat is traded for an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support and three-stage heating on higher trims. A 12.3-inch multimedia display with a rearview monitor and connectivity to smartphone-integrated apps is standard. 

Safety Features

This SUV has tons of smart safety technology, like an advanced forward collision avoidance assistance system that can detect collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles when you’re turning in an intersection. The driver attention warning system can identify distracted or drowsy driving behaviors. Smart cruise control is standard on the base model, but trims like the SEL Premium have a navigation-based adaptive cruise control system that can predict when to slow down based on road curves. 

The latest TUCSON has a few key upgrades to ensure this two-row SUV is fit for modern drivers. Ask about model availability when you call Alexander Hyundai of Oxnard in Oxnard, CA.
