- Roomy and comfortable front seats
- Long warranty
- Quick acceleration
- Touch-style center stack controls can be distracting to use
- Fuel efficiency and all-electric driving range aren't as good as some rivals'
- 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
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 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 PHEV boasts a total output of 261 horsepower, making it the most powerful Tucson in the lineup.
The EPA estimates the PHEV 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 ideal for drivers who live with inclement weather.
Inside, the Tucson PHEV doesn't differ from its more traditionally powered siblings. There's ample space for all passengers and the Tucson is one of the quieter vehicles in its class. Buyers looking for some of the latest tech features will be pleased with wireless smartphone connectivity — you can integrate your phone's apps onto the touchscreen without having to plug in with a USB cord — and lots of standard advanced driver aids that can help make driving easier and safer.
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.

Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid vs. the competition

2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid

2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime
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.
Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid vs. Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid
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. But it is considerably slower than most other vehicles and lacks the cargo capacity and interior space of the larger Tucson. And despite its SUV-like looks, all-wheel drive is not offered.

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.
