2027 Hyundai Tucson HybridHyundaiPhoto credit: HyundaiPhoto credit: HyundaiPhoto credit: HyundaiPhoto credit: HyundaiAdvertisementAdvertisementPhoto credit: HyundaiPhoto credit: HyundaiHyundai might be preparing to debut a new generation of the Tucson Hybrid for 2027. That would be a relatively quick run for the current model, which debuted for 2022, but competition from the Honda CR-V Hybrid, Toyota RAV4, and Subaru Forester Hybrid gives Hyundai plenty of incentive to keep its compact SUV fresh. Here's what we expect from the redesigned Tucson Hybrid.This page will be updated with more insights and photos as information becomes available.What We ThinkAmong compact hybrid SUVs, the Hyundai Tucson is good option, but newer rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester Hybrid raise the stakes. Hyundai could answer with a next-generation Tucson as soon as 2027, bringing fresh styling, upgraded infotainment, and improved fuel efficiency—it may even ditch its gas-only engines and go all-in on hybrid tech. Information remains scarce, but watch for details on the upcoming Hyundai Tucson Hybrid redesign to come to light soon.Top-Ranked Competitors:AdvertisementAdvertisementSubaru Forester HybridToyota RAV4Honda CR-V HybridMazda CX-5 HybridHybrid Engine Standard?The next-generation Tucson Hybrid could continue using the same electrified 1.6-liter turbocharged I-4 engine it does now. Hyundai will likely work to maintain or improve its fuel efficiency, which currently rates at 36-38/37-38 mpg city/highway depending on configuration. There's a possibility that the new Tucson will no longer offer gas-only engines, and be built as a hybrid only, like its rival the Toyota RAV4 now is.Upgraded PHEV PossibleExpect Hyundai to again offer a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Tucson, which can be recharged and driven in all-electric mode. This powertrain might receive more changes than the standard hybrid setup. A larger battery could increase the Tucson PHEV's EV driving range from the 32 miles it provides now, possibly up to about 50 miles.Safety and Driver-Assist FeaturesHyundai is expected to equip extensive driver-assist and active safety tech on the 2027 Tucson. Automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control should remain standard, with updated versions of those systems potentially bringing improved performance in varied road conditions.Cargo Space and Interior RoomWith the smaller Kona below it and the three-row Santa Fe above, the next-gen Tucson Hybrid should remain a five-seat compact SUV. Today's model is already spacious, offering 38.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row and 74.5 cubic feet with it folded, plus more than 41 inches of legroom in both rows. The 2027 Tucson could grow slightly, but major gains are unlikely.Big-Screen TechThe 2027 Tucson could introduce a new infotainment user interface, with a touchscreen larger than today's standard 12.3-inch unit. That will likely be backed by faster processing, sharper graphics, and improved usability. The bigger display may reduce the number of physical controls, while an AI-powered voice assistant could join the features list. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto should remain standard, along with a digital driver display and USB ports for both rows. Higher trims could add wireless charging, a head-up display, and ambient lighting.What Will It Look Like?Prototypes of the next-gen Tucson have only been seen wearing heavy camouflage, but despite that it's clear that some major design changes are afoot. The SUV's bodywork looks edgy, with slim, upright LED lighting elements. Perhaps the rugged Hyundai Crater concept will serve as a design inspiration, especially for a potential Tucson XRT variant focused on off-road fun.When and How Much?Given that the current Tucson launched for 2022 and was refreshed for 2025, an all-new model arriving for 2027 seems soon; 2028 could be when it actually shows up. Regardless, expect the new Tucson Hybrid to be slightly more expensive than the current model's starting price of approximately $33,000.
