2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid: Choosing the Right Trim

There’s one significant change for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid: The sporty Tucson N Line model — available last year exclusively as a non-hybrid model — is now sold only with the hybrid powertrain.

This means the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid can be ordered in four trim levels: Blue, SEL Convenience, N Line, and Limited. All come with standard all-wheel drive (AWD).

Why might you consider a Tucson Hybrid over a standard gasoline-engine model? Two reasons: improved fuel efficiency and better power.

That’s right; the Tucson Hybrid returns up to 38 mpg combined driving while having a gas/electric powertrain (a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 44.2-kW electric motor) that produces 226 total horsepower. The most-efficient gasoline-powered Tucson, equipped with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, produces 187 horsepower and returns 28 mpg combined.

That stated, the non-hybrid 2024 Tucson models, covered here, start at about $5,000 less than the Tucson Hybrid.

The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid continues to compete with the likes of other gas-electric compact SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Ford Escape Hybrid, and the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

With its EPA ratings of up to 38 mpg city/38 mpg highway/38 mpg combined, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is impressive but still not quite as fuel efficient as the top Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, which is rated by the EPA at 41 mpg city/38 mpg highway/40 mpg combined.

However, the best arrow in the Tucson Hybrid’s quiver continues to be its superb 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

The max towing capacity of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is 2,000 pounds.

What’s New:

The N Line is now available only as a Tucson Hybrid, giving it a performance boost over last year. Like the standard Tucson, the Hybrid gains a standard 10.25-inch navigation touchscreen for 2024, plus standard side rear airbags.

Our Recommendation:

Our favorite 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is the Blue Hybrid. It gets the best fuel economy, it’s the most affordable, and its standard equipment level rises far above that of most base models.

2024 Hyundai Tucson Blue Hybrid: $32,325

The Tucson Blue Hybrid is equipped much like the non-hybrid Tucson SEL. As such, it’s positioned as the value model, offering abundant standard equipment at an attractive price.

To that end, the Blue Hybrid has 17-inch alloy wheels, LED exterior lights, high-beam assist, handy features like remote keyless entry, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, and a push-button starter. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a reclining 60/40-split folding rear seat, four USB ports, and a 4.2-inch driver-info display are standard, too.

The Tucson Blue Hybrid driver gets treated to a heated, power-adjustable seat, plus a 10.25-inch navigation touchscreen. Additionally, the Tucson Blue Hybrid gets a hands-free power rear liftgate, a wireless smartphone charger, Hyundai Digital Key, and the Bluelink+ Connected Car Service. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, requiring a wired connection, also come standard on the Tucson Blue Hybrid.

As a Hyundai, the Tucson comes loaded with safety and driver-aid technologies. Besides a forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, you get junction-turning assist, lane-following assist, and blind-spot monitoring with steering assist. Additionally, the Blue Hybrid features adaptive cruise control with rear cross-traffic alert.

Adding the $1,335 destination fee to the Blue Hybrid base price brings the total to $33,660. With $0 down, financing for 60 months at 5% interest works out to about $635 per month. See 2024 Hyundai Tucson Blue Hybrid models for sale near you

2024 Hyundai Tucson Blue Hybrid includes:

Digital Key — This lets you use your smartphone, for example, to lock or unlock your Tucson Hybrid remotely.

Haptic feedback — When using lane-keeping assist or blind-spot collision avoidance, the steering wheel will vibrate slightly to let you know when corrective action may need to be taken. This is a new feature for 2024.

Bluelink+ Connected Car Service— This feature rolls technologies like navigation and emergency-response notification into an app on your smartphone.

2024 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience Hybrid: $34,905

The SEL Convenience Hybrid is much like a hybrid version of the gas-only Tucson SEL equipped with the optional (and extensive) Convenience Package.

As such, this 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid configuration comes equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, H-Tex leatherette seating, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The Tucson SEL Convenience Package also gains 64 colors of ambient interior lighting, soft-touch door panels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an ultrasonic rear occupant alert.

Adding the destination fee to the SEL Convenience Hybrid base price totals $36,240. Financing for 60 months at 5% with $0 down works out to a monthly payment of about $684. See 2024 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience Hybrid models for sale near you

2024 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience Hybrid includes:

Curve control – Using route information from the navigation system, curve control anticipates upcoming curves, automatically slowing the vehicle if the set speed of adaptive cruise control is too fast.

Auto-dimming rearview mirror – Using photosensors, it recognizes bright headlights closing from behind, automatically dimming their reflection.

10.25-inch digital instrument cluster – This digital instrument panel is a model of clarity, giving this Tucson interior a much more modern appearance.

2024 Hyundai Tucson N Line Hybrid: $36,405

The new Tucson N Line Hybrid adds a decidedly sporty flavor to the SEL Convenience trim.

That means revised front and rear fasciae, an N Line grille, and a rear spoiler on the visual front. It also gets an N Line logo on the front fenders, a twin-tip exhaust outlet, black side mirrors and trim, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, you get sport seats, a panoramic sunroof, N Line trim on the shifter, a black headliner, red accents, and 64 colors of ambient interior lighting.

Not enough for you? The N Line Hybrid also comes equipped with an N Logo on the steering wheel, paddle shifters, and a premium 8-speaker Bose sound system.

Adding the destination fee to the SEL Convenience Hybrid base price totals $37,740. Financing for 60 months at 5% with $0 down works out to a monthly payment of about $712. See 2024 Hyundai Tucson N Line Hybrid models for sale near you

2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited Hybrid: $39,465

As the top Tucson Hybrid, the Limited Hybrid comes loaded with even more comfort, safety, and convenience features.

Essentially a loaded version of the SEL Convenience Hybrid, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited Hybrid adds leather upholstery and an 8-way power front passenger seat. You also get vented front seats and heat for the steering wheel and both rows of seats.

More standard equipment on the Tucson Limited Hybrid includes chrome exterior accents, bi-LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a Bose premium audio system, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a HomeLink transceiver.

In addition to a surround-view camera and a blind-spot-view monitor (which displays in the instrument panel a video image of your rear 3-quarter blind spot), this top Tucson Hybrid gets Remote Smart Parking Assist, Highway Driving Assist, reverse automatic braking, and navigation-based adaptive cruise control (which will slow the vehicle, if necessary, for upcoming curves on the highway).

Adding the destination fee to the Limited Hybrid base price equals $40,800. Financing for 60 months at 5% with $0 down, the monthly payment works out to about $770. See 2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited Hybrid models for sale near you
