The Tucson has been around for 20 years. Ever since its launch in 2004, it’s grown to become one of Hyundai’s most iconic SUVs. Every new model is met with eager anticipation and every new feature is studied under a category microscope.
So, when Hyundai announced the 2024 Tucson Hybrid, excitement was at its peak. If you’re a fan, Carolina Hyundai is here with three bits of good news for you:

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is an award-winning compact SUV that may be Hyundai’s most popular entry in the SUV category. Below, we’ll go in-depth with all the available trims on its latest model, and tell you why the Tucson has been capturing hearts for so long, and why it’s slated to continue its dominance.
Overall, the Tucson offers a mind-bending 9 different trims. While that might seem like a lot, Hyundai is known for its flexibility and range of options. Each trim has something different for each budget or lifestyle.
The SE is the base trim on the Tucson, with plenty of everything you need, and nothing you don’t. At its heart, you’ll find a 2.5L GDI-MPI 4-cylinder engine that churns out 187 hp with a range of 32 MPG on highways. You also have an 8-inch color touchscreen display with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The SEL goes one step beyond the SE, with Hyundai’s Bluelink+ built-in, a hands-free smart liftgate, and wireless charging. You also have a wider range of exterior accents to choose from.
The Tucson XRT was built for offroading. It comes with wide 19-inch alloy wheels on the exterior and a 10.25-inch touchscreen so you can see every navigation detail in HD. It also boasts black H-Tex seating surfaces inside, making every ride extra comfy.
The Limited trim takes comfort and tech a notch higher. It’s fitted with a Bose premium audio system and boasts features like Blind-spot View Monitoring and Highway Driving Assist.
The Blue trim is Tucson’s hybrid option and offers the best range of all the options. You can expect a combined 38 MPG on highways, thanks to a 1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder hybrid engine. An HTRAC AWD configuration gives you even more control and power over your drive, with smart features like the Smart Cruise Control and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.
As the name suggests, this trim takes the Tucson Blue’s hybrid capabilities and adds a touch of comfort and convenience to it. Like a panoramic sunroof, smart 19-inch alloy wheels, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen display.
The Limited edition trim is the most premium of the hybrid trims available on the Tucson. It also doubles down on tech features, such as a Remote Smart Parking Assist, a Surround View Monitor, and a Blind-Spot View Monitor.
The SEL Plug-in Hybrid is a lot like the SEL trim, except for a combined hp of 261, and a 33-mile all-electric range, which is great for a car of Tucson’s size. In addition, you’ll also get the 19-inch alloy wheels and HTRAC AWD to live it up outdoors.
The Limited Plug-in Hybrid is the premium plug-in offering, with everything the SEL Plug-in trim has along with tech upgrades like Remote Smart Parking Assist, a Surround View Monitor, and a Blind-Spot View Monitor.
The Tucson got a makeover in 2022, so we’re not expecting major changes in this iteration. Of course, Hyundai’s focus has always been value for money, so given that this model’s a hybrid, expect optimized fuel efficiency with a compact SUV body that hides most of its muscle under a sleek, modern exterior.
Hyundai’s been trying to reimagine the boxy SUV category and bring in some much-needed style. So, expect a wide-slatted grille upfront that captures the attention, and sits comfortably between sleek LED accent lights.
The contouring on the Tucson redesign gives it a sleek, almost speedy look, and this aesthetic will be prominently on display in the 2024 version, seamlessly connecting the front to its stylish tail lights.
Of course, if you’re looking for an SUV with next-gen aesthetics and a complete reimagining of the exterior, you’ve got to check out a 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric for sale in High Point and surrounding areas. It’s one of the best-looking SUVs we’ve ever seen.
The 2024 Tucson Hybrid comes standard with AWD and with a turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine and a 44.2 kW electric motor that’s designed to churn out 226 hp.
It’ll offer you an EPA-estimated 38 mpg, which is amazingly efficient for an SUV the size of the Tucson.
