2023 Hyundai Tucson
Overview
In a crowded arena full of competitive compact SUVs, the 2023 Hyundai Tucson easily stands out thanks to its unconventional styling and impressive array of high-tech features. The compact SUV is lower and longer than before, giving it a sleek, hunkered-down profile that fits well with the brand’s more recent offerings. The 2023 Tucson also boasts more space for passengers and cargo, making it one of the more practical choices for any compact SUV shopper. In addition to hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, the 2023 Tucson also comes available in N Line trim with unique 19-inch alloys and a host of other N Line-specific features.
The Perfect Ride For…
Anyone in search of a compact SUV that’s a bit out of the ordinary. Of course, it’s hard to ignore the 2023 Hyundai Tucson’s styling, which combines chiseled, geometric surfaces with a slippery roofline and muscular fenders for a unique and highly dynamic appearance. Inside, the 2023 Tucson boasts a luxe interior with premium materials and elegant details throughout. The delicate waterfall-inspired center stack holds an optional 10.25-inch touch screen display, giving you ample real estate for navigation, apps, and more. Below, you’ll find touch-sensitive controls for the HVAC and infotainment systems.
Drive and Handling
All non-hybrid versions of the 2023 Hyundai Tucson come equipped with the 2.5-liter Smartstream turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which combines direct injection with multipoint fuel injection for better power and fuel efficiency. The end result is 187 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque, although it’s likely the N Line model will have a more powerful version of this engine. Hybrid models come standard with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine making 226 combined horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid model adds a 13.8-kilowatt-hour battery to the mix, as well as an all-electric drive mode. All-wheel drive comes standard on the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, but it remains an optional feature on non-hybrid Tucson models.
Key Features
Front Fascia
One look at the 2023 Hyundai Tucson and you’ll tell it’s no ordinary SUV. What’ll grab your attention most is the dramatic front fascia that follows Hyundai’s stunning design language. This SUV's aggressive front grille stretches from end to end with LED daytime running lights integrated within the outer portions. Meanwhile, the main headlights take prominent spots within the front bumper, similar to the smaller Kona and larger Santa Fe SUVs. The end result is a distinctive look that’s unlike any other compact SUV on the market.
Remote Smart Parking Assist
One of the 2023 Hyundai Tucson’s many state-of-the-art features is the Remote Smart Parking Assist, which comes in handy for those times when a tight parking spot is all you can find. All you have to do is step outside, press the Smart Key button and watch as the Tucson remotely drives into the parking space. When it’s time to leave, simply press the Smart Key button again and the Tucson will automatically drive itself out of the space.
Digital Instrument Cluster
The 2023 Hyundai Tucson also comes available with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, giving you clear and concise readouts for speed and traffic information you can customize by switching drive modes. Activate your turn signal during any lane-change maneuver and the available Blind-Spot View Monitor displays a live feed of vehicles in your blind spot on the left or right corner of the gauge cluster.
Alternative Options
If you're looking for something that stands out and has seating for the entire family, the Hyundai Palisade is perfect.
