Used 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is a small SUV available in two trim levels: SEL and Limited. The Tucson combines a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 13.8-kWh battery powering an electric motor to produce a total output of 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. Power gets sent to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Feature highlights include:

SEL
Comes well equipped with features, such as:

  • LED exterior lighting
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration (wireless connectivity for both)
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Dual-zone climate control with rear passenger air vents
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Four USB ports (two in front, two in back)
  • Household-style power outlet

It also comes standard with many advanced driver aids, including:

  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Tucson back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Safe exit assist (can prevent a passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Hyundai and the car in front)

Limited
Adds a substantial amount of extra equipment, including:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Dark chrome exterior trim
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Paddle shifters
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Improved voice recognition software
  • Adjustable ambient lighting
  • Digital instrument panel
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable passenger seat

The Limited also has more technology and driver assist features, including:

  • Upgraded Bose audio system
  • 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel and rear seats
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Tucson and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)
  • Rear collision mitigation braking (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

Which Tucson Plug-In Hybrid trim 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.
