2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Review

byKurt Niebuhr^{Senior Vehicle Test Editor
Kurt Niebuhr has worked in the automotive industry since 2005. A automotive photographer by trade, Kurt is now one of Edmunds' high-performance test drivers. He's driven and photographed hundreds, if not thousands, of vehicles all over the world, so Kurt's library of automotive experiences would certainly make for a good book. When not dreaming about getting his racing license or trying to buy out-of-date film for his cameras, Kurt can usually be found cursing at his 1966 Mustang.}

Pros

Plenty of standard tech features
Roomy and comfortable front seats
Long warranty

Cons

Touch-style center stack controls can be distracting to use
Significant price jump compared to the regular Tucson

What's new

The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is new for 2022
Combined power output of 261 horsepower
Estimated all-electric range of 33 miles
Based on the fourth Tucson generation introduced for 2022

Hyundai has been revamping its lineup of SUVs as of late. Just about everything is a recent addition, including the extra-small Venue and three-row Palisade, or has been redesigned. Now, for 2022, it's the Tucson's turn. This is Hyundai's small SUV that competes against the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The automaker has historically played things safe and stuck to conservative styling conventions, but not with the 2022 Tucson.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.32 per gallon for regular unleaded and $0.14 per kWh for electricity in Virginia.}

The newly redesigned 2022 Tucson is offered with a standard gasoline engine, a regular hybrid powertrain and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is the one we're covering here. Thanks to the combined effort of a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor, the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid boasts a total output of 261 horsepower, making it the most powerful Tucson in the lineup.

A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) can be a great way to try out the EV lifestyle. This kind of vehicle is like a typical hybrid but with an extra-large battery pack that allows you to drive a certain distance on pure electric power. After a PHEV's battery runs out, the gas engine kicks on to carry you on to your next destination. Depending on how much you drive and how frequently you can recharge, it's possible to go months without ever needing to fill up on gas.

The EPA estimates the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid can travel around 33 miles on a single charge, which is a decent for this class of vehicle. And once you've used up the battery you'll still be getting an estimated 35 mpg. All-wheel drive is standard equipment on the PHEV, adding value and making it a more compelling pick for drivers who frequently drive on icy or snowy roads.

A few other automakers also sell plug-in hybrid SUVs. The Toyota RAV4 Prime offers more than 40 miles of electric range as well as all the comfort and practicality you expect from a RAV4. Ford's Escape is also available in plug-in hybrid form, as is the Subaru Crosstrek. Then there's Kia, which is corporately related to Hyundai and offers the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid that uses the same powertrain as the Tucson. The Tucson easily holds its own among the competition, and it's worth checking out if you're interested in a stepping stone to a full EV or simply a sharp small SUV that helps you save on gas. Check out our Expert Rating below for our test team's complete scoring and evaluation of the new Tucson Plug-in Hybrid.

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.

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? Hyundai's multimedia system is simple to use. Touch-sensitive controls placed near the screen allow you to get to the media, navigation or home screens quickly. The Tucson's larger 10.3-inch touchscreen looks sharp, but the smaller 8-inch screen that comes standard on the Tucson has two advantages: wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity and physical volume and tuning controls. For some reason, the larger screen requires you to use a cable to use those smartphone connectivity features, and its volume slider can be annoying to use. The Bose audio system is 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 Highway Driving Assist system 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 model 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. The Tucson PHEV kicks over to hybrid mode with 15% of its battery remaining, and once that happened 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 — 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?

We think the SEL is well enough equipped for most buyers. It has a full complement of driver aids and plenty of convenience features. But there are no option packages available for the SEL, so if you want that panoramic sunroof and upgraded audio system you'll have to pony up for the Limited.

5/5 stars, Stylish SUV with Excellent Mileage

J. Weber, 07/02/2022

Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

We’ve had our 2022 Hyundai Tucson plug-In Limited for a little more than a year, and we love this vehicle. During the time we’ve had it, our Tucson has averaged nearly 80 miles per gallon. Most of our driving is around town, but we have taken two or three trips of several hundred miles each. I usually go a month or more before having to buy gas. With the high price of fuel, we have …

I've only had my Tucson Ltd PHEV for 3 months and so far it's been much nicer than I could have imagined. I've had 2 RAV4s a 2007 and a 2017 Ltd Hybrid. This Tucson is much better than the RAV's in every way. The ride is more comfortable, smoother & quieter, the sound system is way better, has a great panoramic roof and the technology is far more advanced. On a 1000 mi round trip (Palm …

Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

We bought our 2022 Tucson PHEV Limited in March, and have put 6000 miles on it thus far. We’ve had many cars (this is car #22), mostly Hondas/Acuras; this is our first Hyundai, and it’s fantastic. So many high-end features, great hybrid mileage, and even in fully electric mode, it just zips right along. Very happy with this car.

5/5 stars, Impression after one month

Randy Grenier, 12/05/2022

Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

This is a quick impression of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson plugin hybrid with Limited trim. This vehicle has lots of technology and many safety and convenience features which take some time to learn. I don’t recommend this vehicle to anyone who is not willing to spend the time learning these features to include studying the owner’s manual. Otherwise, I recommend that you consider a lower … (and less expensive) trim with fewer capabilities. The owner’s manual can be downloaded here: https://owners.hyundaiusa.com/content/dam/hyundai/us/myhyundai/manuals/glovebox-manual/2022/tucson-phev/2022-Tucson-Phev-Owners-Manual.pdf Styling The styling of the vehicle gets mixed reviews and is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I think it has an attractive appearance that is distinctive but doesn’t look like a Star Wars stormtrooper helmet (i.e. Toyota RAV4). But that’s just me. What’s important to me is that the interior is a pleasant, comfortable, functional, and attractive place to be. You can find interior and exterior pictures here: https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/tucson-plug-in-hybrid/gallery Controls The are many controls to accommodate the many safety and convenience technologies which could initially be overwhelming. There is a risk that a driver new to this car could easily be distracted when trying to find certain controls while driving. I recommend first learning the basics like lights, wipers, etc. that may need adjustments while driving, and practice the other controls while parked until you become very familiar with their operation. Since you paid for the Limited trim, take advantage of all the tech. Safety Tech The list of safety features is long: • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian (FCA-Ped), Cyclist and Junction-Turning Detection • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) • Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) • Driver Attention Warning (DAW) • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) • Lane Following Assist (LFA) • Highway Driving Assist (HDA) • Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go • Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with curve control • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) • Safe Exit Warning (SEW) • Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) • Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Reverse (PCA-R) • Parking Distance Warning – forward and reverse • Surround View Monitor (SVM) These features can be turned on or off in the settings menu. This vehicle is rated as Top Safety Pick Plus by the IIHS, and as of this writing the plugin hybrid is not yet rated by the NHTSA. Convenience Tech The list of convenience features is even longer. Here are some highlights: • Drive Mode Select (Eco, Sport, and Snow modes) • Downhill Brake Control (DBC) • Hands-free smart liftgate with auto open and adjustable height setting • Lumber support in driver’s seat • Heated and ventilated front seats • Heated rear seats • 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster • 10.25-inch Navigation/infotainment screen • Traffic flow including incident data via HD Radio™ • Dynamic Voice Recognition • Bose sound system • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay • HD Radio • SiriusXM Satellite Radio • Bluetooth phone connection • Bluelink® 3-year complimentary service • Heated steering wheel • Remote keyless entry system with alarm and panic • Proximity Key entry with push button start • Digital Key (use your smartphone to enter and start your car) • 64-color ambient interior lighting • Rain-sensing windshield wipers • Automatic on/off head and taillights • Remote self parking • Panoramic roof Full specs can be found here: https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/tucson-plug-in-hybrid/compare-specs Hybrid Operation Again, this is a plug-in hybrid. You plug in to a Level 2 charger for full battery charge in about 2 hours, or you can plug into regular AC for overnight charging. A full charge gets 33 miles of electric-only driving. After that it runs in hybrid mode (gas + regen) I’ve been averaging about 37 mpg in hybrid mode. There is a trip computer and other energy displays you can use to monitor battery usage and fuel use. Overall Impression My impression is biased because I’ve only had this car for about a month and I’m still experiencing new car euphoria. That being said, this is a really exciting and enjoyable ride. I discover new features all the time.

Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Prime

Boasting more power and even greater efficiency, the RAV4 Prime remains just as practical as the standard RAV4. It can be driven an EPA-estimated 42 miles on battery power alone; that's enough to cover most people's daily commute and a little more than the Tucson's EPA-estimated range. In the Tucson's favor are its more comfortable front seats and longer warranty.

Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid vs. Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid

The Escape Plug-In Hybrid is a user-friendly, spacious and comfortable compact SUV. And with an EPA-estimated electric range of 37 miles, it's fairly efficient as well. But the Escape's large battery does eat into the Ford's cargo capacity, making it somewhat less practical than the standard non-hybrid Escape. All-wheel drive is also not offered, while it's standard on the Tucson.

With lots of standard features and excellent efficiency, the Niro Plug-In Hybrid makes a strong case if you have a close eye on your budget.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
