With its quaint appearance and quiet ride quality, the 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is well equipped and fully loaded. Moreover, everything about this model-from its design language to its performance capabilities-is meant to convey quality. And this is evident in Hyundai's meticulous attention to detail with this Tucson generation. The automaker continues to live up to its reputation for excellence and first-rate craftsmanship.
For this reason, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is a crossover SUV that stands as a premium model within its segment. But at this point, you may be asking yourself…
What's New for 2023?
One of the first things you'll notice with the 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is its unique 3-dimensional form in its exterior design. Its sides are beautifully curved and indented, giving it a very sleek and modern appearance. Additionally, these sharp angular lines create an aerodynamic composition that you'll be hard-pressed to find on other models. Indeed, Hyundai has done a fantastic job in bringing "art" to the Tucson's design.
And the artistry doesn't stop on the siding… The aggressive black chrome grille boasts an almost Transformer's-like style that adds to its character and composition. This is an exceptional display of Hyundai automotive engineering.
Interior and Cargo Space
Imagine a well done design-centric interior… Picture clean leather seats, immaculate cabin quality with fine-touch materials, user-friendly controls, and enough space for you and your passengers to comfortably sit and enjoy the ride. This is the driving experience the 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid delivers. With height adjustable seats and high-quality materials, Hyundai has put comfort and refinement at the head of the list for the Tucson's cabin.
But don't think these priorities have compromised the value that Hyundai puts on space. With ample legroom and headroom in both the rear and front rows, the Tucson is as roomy as it is comfortable. In fact, this spacious SUV boasts up to 41.4" of legroom in the front rows and 41.3" of legroom in the rear rows.
And that space is amplified even further via the cargo space when you prop open the tailgate. Behind the second row, 38.7 cu ft is available for anything you want. Pack up your camping gear for a weekend getaway, take your golf clubs to the course and practice taking a few strokes off your game, or simply load up your family for a nice outing together.

2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Exterior
With its dark chrome grille, LED headlights, and aggressively styled 17" alloy wheels (standard), the 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid has a notable personality. At first glance, it almost seems as if it wears a combative stance with its angular siding and "mean" front end. However, a longer look will quickly reveal a more wholesome family-friendly SUV with a modern flare. Other exterior elements include the following:
- Sharp and futuristic front grille
- Embedded LED running lights
- LED tail lights
- Clean rear end (with a hidden wiper beneath the spoiler)
A general overview of the Tucson's exterior can be summarized as sportiness meets family-friendly suitability. As a result, this crossover bridges the gap between a robust design and driver practicality.
Performance and Powertrain
The 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is an SUV of class and character. Not only is it outfitted in a stunning and modern exterior, but its ride quality offers (both driver and passengers) a smooth, quiet, and refined driving experience. For this reason, this graceful crossover is ideal for families and SUV enthusiasts alike. The Tucson is powered by a 1.6 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine coupled with a hybrid system.
Moreover, it boasts a 6-speed automatic transmission, a combined 226 horsepower and 258 lb ft of torque, as well as standard all-wheel drive capabilities. And the best part? With a full gas tank, this punchy hybrid gets about 507 miles of range!

This guarded well-equipped crossover SUV is armed with the technology to keep you out of harm's way while on the road.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Hyundai is an automaker that delivers on all fronts-every time. As a world leader in the automotive industry, the renowned car manufacturer brings the latest advancements to the 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. Here are a few of the features you can expect with the Tucson when it comes to technology and connectivity:
- 10.25" touchscreen infotainment system (with navigation)

The 2023 Hyundai Tucson offers top-of-the-line connectivity and convenient touch-sensitive controls for a streamlined driving experience. Moreover, this setup, coupled with the Bose audio system and a full 360-degree surround monitor, contributes to the Tucson-experience as it enhances passenger entertainment and safety.
Fuel Economy and MPG
The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid retains a rating of 38 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Powered by a gas engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid has an electric motor shoehorned in between. The result? You can turn off the engine while the electric motor produces a sufficient charge to power the vehicle. Together, the gasoline motor and electric engine work in unison. And this internal setup provides a very homely yet dynamic driving experience that will make you feel "at home" during every excursion.
Regenerative Braking
Piggy-backing off of the Hyundai Tucson's aforementioned drive quality, this multifaceted SUV also boasts regenerative braking. Regenerative brakes function by simply reversing electric motors that set the SUV into motion. It functions similar to a generator as it distributes energy into the electric system or the hybrid in an effort to recharge some of the range. As a result, these mini battery range boosts can build up, increasing efficiency if used consistently over a long enough period of time.
