The 2022 Hyundai Tucson: Coming Soon

The dark days of winter are closing in, so it’s great to have something to look forward to.

We’re looking forward to the all-new 2022 Hyundai Tucson , coming next March. Just like spring flowers, it’s bloomin’ gorgeous. Edmunds.com said, “The Tucson has historically hewn to conservative styling conventions…the new version is quite different with a cascading front light signature, squared wheel arches, and bold creases on the bodywork. The interior is also quite unusual, with a center stack devoid of hard buttons and a shroudless digital instrument panel. An avant-garde SUV? It’s happening…”

Are new powertrains avant-garde? Yes, with hybrids and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs)!

• Gas: 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 187 hp, eight-speed transmission and an estimated combined 28 mpg (FWD). All-wheel drive available on gas engines and standard on hybrids and PHEVs.
• Hybrid: 1.6-liter, four-cylinder turbo and 44.2kw motor and 1.49 kwh battery equaling an output of 226 hp, six-speed automatic. Hyundai estimates 30% better fuel efficiency and range of 500+ miles before refueling.
• PHEV: 1.6-liter turbo, six-speed transmission. Battery pack has 13.8 kwh of power, 28-mile all-electric range and 70 mpg-equivalent efficiency rating.

The 2022 Tucson is totally new: bigger, with bolder styling and interior critics are calling spacious and “airy.” It’s still a five-passenger vehicle, but with three inches more legroom thanks to a longer wheelbase. More cargo room for your skiing, camping or sports gear, too.

Forward-collision warning, avoidance-assist with pedestrian/bicyclist detection, driver-attention monitor, lane-keep assist, high-beam assist and rear occupant alert. Want more? Remote Smart Park assist (parks itself via the key fob!), adaptive cruise control, Safe Exit warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot collision avoidance assist, lane-centering are options. A voice-recognition system will allow the driver to do lots, from changing interior temperature to accessing infotainment. More safety with the new multi-air ventilation system that monitors cabin air quality, purifies air and displays real-time air pollution.

With eight different trim levels ranging from base SE through Limited, and including the hybrid and PHEV versions, there’s a lot to choose from. Depending on your choice you would get the standard eight-inch touch screen or the 10.25 touchscreen navigation system. At the highest levels leather upholstery and sunroof are offered.

There’s a lot to look forward to in the 2022 Hyundai Tucson . Good looks, space, performance, and efficiency. You’ll be able to test drive it at Schomp Hyundai on Havana in Aurora next Spring.
