Overview

The name for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid pretty much says it all. It's a Tucson, which is the brand's popular small SUV that boasts high levels of comfort and value. On top of that, it's also a plug-in hybrid. That means it has a chargeable battery and electric motor to help increase fuel efficiency. But as the saying goes, the devil is in the details. While fuel economy can be excellent, the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid isn't for everyone.

EPA Estimated Electric Range

The Tucson Plug-In Hybrid will automatically switch to gas when the electric battery is low.^{Electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.}

Estimated range map^{This map is a visual representation of the possible one-way and round-trips by this vehicle (on a full charge) from the geometric center of Columbus, Ohio. The depicted ranges are based on the estimated new vehicle range value provided by the EPA, rounded down to miles for one-way and miles for round-trip. Actual range will vary depending on the condition of this vehicle’s battery pack, how you drive, driving conditions and other factors.Map display generated using: © openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT | Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors | Leaflet} from

Charging

1.7 hrs

240V Home Charging^{Estimated total charging time when using a 240V outlet. This is either a 3-prong or 4-prong outlet used for appliances, for example a clothes dryer.}

EV batteries should be kept at 30-80% charged to extend battery life.

Hybrid Parts Warranty

10 yrs or 100,000 miles^{Hybrid batteries are federally mandated to carry at least 8 years or 100,000 miles of warranty coverage from the manufacturer. Batteries that lose capacity more rapidly than expected should be eligible for replacement under warranty. Coverage of additional hybrid components beyond the battery itself will vary by automaker.}

According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

Edmunds spotlight: Great fuel economy but at a cost

The Tucson can go an EPA-estimated 33 miles using electricity alone when its battery is juiced up. The Tucson switches to regular hybrid mode once the battery is depleted, getting a still respectable EPA-estimated 35 mpg in combined driving. Compare that to the gas-only Tucson's 25 mpg combined and you can see the appeal of the plug-in hybrid. But keep in mind you'll have to regularly charge up the battery to maximize your potential fuel savings. It also comes with a much higher starting price than its gas-only sibling.

Competitors to consider

The Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid is the Tucson PHEV's corporate cousin. It has many of the same attributes and is worth a look, especially if you're a fan of the Sportage's styling. The Toyota RAV4 Prime is also an appealing choice among two-row PHEVs and it beats the Tucson on all-electric range (with an EPA-estimated 42 miles compared to 33 miles). If you need a third row or a little extra storage, the Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid should easily satisfy.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Tucson Plug-In Hybrid drive? Much like the hybrid version of the Tucson, the Plug-in Hybrid is superior to the gas version with quicker and smoother acceleration. Our test vehicle accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds, which is an average time for a plug-in small SUV. When traveling on solely battery power, the Tucson PHEV's electric motors are strong enough to get it to highway speeds without kicking on the gas engine most of the time. Pressing the accelerator aggressively will fire up the engine, though it quickly shuts off when its added power is no longer needed. The transmission downshifts quickly when called upon.

The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid's suspension is well tuned, offering comfort in most day-to-day situations while keeping body roll mostly under control. There isn't much feedback from the steering wheel, but the crossover is quick to respond to inputs and it's easy to track straight on the highway. The Plug-in Hybrid does have a Sport mode that turns on the gas engine all the time and makes the steering heftier, but the engine drone gets annoying after a while; the less aggressive drive modes are more suitable for most situations. The brakes work smoothly and also provide good emergency stopping power.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Tucson Plug-In Hybrid? The front seats offer good support and enough adjustments to find a comfortable position, though some drivers might prefer more telescoping action from the steering wheel. The back seat offers several recline angles and a long seat bottom cushion, so adults can be comfortable back there even on longer trips. The available front seat ventilation is a welcome feature for hot days.

Also helping to cool you down quickly is a great climate control system. Instead of a single auto setting, there are three (low, medium and high) that make finding a comfortable fan speed and temperature easy. There's also a diffuse mode, which keeps the cabin at a set temperature without blowing air directly on the passengers and lowering the fan noise considerably.

Build & Price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? In its redesign, the whole Tucson lineup moved to touch-based controls for the climate and multimedia systems. Operating the controls is more complicated than it should be, but the controls are responsive and easy to reach from the driver's seat. The biggest problem is that the glossy black panel that covers the controls holds onto smudges and fingerprints like it's starting a collection. Keeping a soft cloth to wipe the screen and the panel off is a must in the Tucson.

The Tucson PHEV's interior room is a plus; adults will have no problem sitting in the rear seats. Visibility is pretty good out of the front and to the sides, but the chunky rear roof pillars can block the driver's view out back.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The Tucson's touchscreen looks sharp and is pretty easy to use. The touch-sensitive controls placed near the screen allow you to get to the media, navigation or home screens quickly, though we've found the volume slider (instead of a traditional knob) can be annoying to use. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, though there's no wireless connectivity for either. (You need to use a USB cord to connect your phone.) Our test vehicle had the available Bose audio system; it's an upgrade over the standard six-speaker setup, but it's not especially impressive.

The advanced driver assist features in the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid are great. The available lane centering keeps the vehicle centered in the lane without bouncing it between the lines, and the adaptive cruise control works smoothly to accelerate and slow down with the flow of traffic. It doesn't add too much steering effort either, making it easy to override the system when needed. The Limited trim also features a blind-spot warning system that will display a live view of the Tucson PHEV's blind spot on either side when the turn signal is activated.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid's larger battery takes up some cargo space. There's 31.9 cubic feet available behind the rear seats compared to 38.7 cubic feet in other Tucson models. But it's enough to be helpful for grocery runs and the like. The 60/40-split rear seats can also be folded down from the cargo area via a convenient pair of latches on either side of the cargo space, and that expands cargo room to 66.3 cubic feet. Up front, the Tucson PHEV has a few useful storage nooks and a small bin below the climate controls that also houses the wireless phone charger. The central bin is pretty large, but there isn't a convenient place to store a purse or bag so those may end up on the seat or the floor.

For those with young children, the Tucson PHEV has easy-to-access lower seat anchors and three upper anchors, one for each rear seat. There is enough room as well to fit any type of car seat without too much trouble, though to fit a rear-facing seat comfortably, the passenger may have to scoot forward slightly, but not so much as to be uncomfortable.

Fuel Economy

9.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? On our testing route, the Tucson PHEV logged 29.3 miles of range using just battery power. That comes in short of its EPA-estimated 33 miles of electric-only range, but it's still enough range to turn short errands or most commutes into gas-free affairs. Once our Tucson switched over to normal hybrid mode, we averaged 37.2 mpg for the rest of the route, which beat its EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Tucson Plug-In Hybrid a good value? The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid commands a large price premium over the regular Tucson and the Tucson Hybrid as well, a difference that's harder to make up as the PHEV no longer qualifies for a federal tax credit as of this writing. The more you can use the PHEV solely on electric power, the quicker your costs will be recouped but it will take time.

Solid build quality and a strong feature set make the Tucson PHEV feel like it's worth its price on most occasions, and since it's a Hyundai, the robust warranty adds to its value proposition as well. Powertrain and battery components are covered for 10 years/100,000 miles and it comes with three years/36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid goes about its business without fuss and leaves the driver feeling satisfied but not wowed. Its styling will be hit-or-miss depending on who you're talking to — the exterior is covered in angles and creases that give the crossover vehicle a crinkly wrapper. Those grille-integrated daytime running lights give it an interesting visual signature at night, but at its core the Tucson PHEV is exceedingly practical transportation.

Which Tucson Plug-In Hybrid does Edmunds recommend?

Both Tucson Plug-in Hybrid trims have the same performance and fuel efficiency. But we think it's worth spending more to get the top Limited trim. It comes with a lot of worthwhile feature upgrades such as leather upholstery, ventilated front seats and additional driver aids.

Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid models

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is a small SUV available in two trim levels: SEL and Limited.

Update 3/8/24: We've hit the 2-year mark, and just under 20K miles. Continue to be very, very happy with it. The Tucson PHEV is a great way to put your toes in the water with EVs - being able to do full electric for up to 33 miles, while having the flexibility of an ICE for longer trips, is a great balance. We're adding solar at our home this spring, so we traded in our other car (2023 …
