The newest version of the Hyundai Tucson hit the ground running with upgrades, redesigns, and tons of well-earned hype. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The release of this compact SUV is sure to shake up the industry. A redesign this big certainly demands attention.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you can expect on the all-new 2022 Hyundai Tucson<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Bigger And Better Than Ever<\/h3>\n

One of the first things you might notice between the new Tucson and the previous versions of this popular SUV is its size. The 2022 model is 6.1 inches longer, .5 inches taller, and .5 inches wide than it was before. That means passengers can enjoy an additional six cubic feet of interior space and a total of 80 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded.<\/p>\n

The Tucson isn\u2019t doesn\u2019t just sport a bigger body; it also comes equipped with a more muscular powertrain. You\u2019ll love the 2.5-liter inline-four engine that produces 187 horsepower and 78 lb-ft of torque. That\u2019s 23 more horsepower than the previous base-level engine and an extra five hp than the previous upgrade engine option.<\/p>\n

More Engine Options<\/h3>\n

While the standard 2.5-liter engine is bigger and more powerful than its predecessor\u2019s engines<\/a><\/strong>, there are more options that are sure to gain attention. The newest Hyundai Tucson models now come as hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.<\/p>\n

Both of these eco-friendly powertrains are equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine featuring an all-wheel-drive drivetrain. The hybrid choice gives you a solid 226 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. You\u2019ll be thrilled to get over 500 miles of range on a single tank of gas.<\/p>\n

Those who want the plug-in hybrid have to wait a little longer but will enjoy the same specs as the regular hybrid model with a few additions. The biggest difference is the larger 13.8-kWh battery pack that can take you 28 miles before the hybrid engine kicks in. If you have a short commute, your trips to the gas station will become a distant memory instead of a daily task.<\/p>\n

Those who want the sportiest engines and builds have another year to wait, but rumors of a Tucson N Line suggest something huge is on the horizon.<\/p>\n

More Standard Tech<\/h3>\n

While Hyundai has always made the latest tech available on their new models, the newest Tucson comes with more standard options than ever before. No matter what trim you choose, you\u2019ll be treated to features like wireless Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment center, and LED headlights.<\/p>\n

The Hyundai Tucson\u2019s safety features are where standard equipment<\/a><\/strong> really shines. You\u2019ll love having an entire suite of potent driver-assist systems on board.<\/p>\n
