Combining a 2.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor, the plug-in hybrid version produces 225hp, although there is a lesser-powered 190hp self-charging hybrid too.īoth hybrids are front-wheel drive and feature a CVT automatic gearbox, which is better suited to gentle driving because it can prove quite noisy if you accelerate hard.

Hyundai has also introduced new technology inside to boost the Tucson’s appeal Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity are supported for added convenience, and there are a pair of 10.3-inch screens that form the instrument display and the media system.Ī new version of the popular Ford Kuga SUV went on sale early in 2020, and while some examples of the previous version left some buyers feeling short-changed, every version of the latest Kuga comes with all-round parking sensors, sliding rear seats, keyless go, cruise control and a heated windscreen.īuyers looking for the plug-in hybrid need to fork out more for the ST-Line trims which add LED headlights, a powered boot lid, keyless entry and a reversing camera. In the Tucson, the boot measures 558 litres, down only slightly on the 620 litres provided by non-hybrid versions.
The company also says it’s gone to great lengths to make sure that boot space isn’t overly compromised in the plug-in hybrid model (most PHEVs suffer from a significant reduction in boot space thanks to the inclusion of a battery pack). Underneath there’s a 13.8kWh battery which Hyundai says will give an electric-only range of more than 30 miles per charge. Acceleration isn't as fast as some other hybrids (0-62mph in 8.6 seconds) but the instant power delivery of the electric motor helps to convince you otherwise.
The Hyundai Tucson lineup gained a plug-in option in 2021, with a 91hp electric motor and 1.6-litre petrol engine producing a combined 265hp. The more you can plug in and charge up using the cable, the higher your average fuel economy figures will climb - as is the case with all plug-in hybrids. On paper, the Captur Hybrid achieves over 200mpg, although in our experience you’re more likely to see 40-50mpg once the battery has run out of juice. The Captur can be charged in well under two hours using a 7kW home-charging unit, but it’ll take closer to four hours if you plug into an everyday three-pin socket. Under the bonnet there’s a 1.6-litre petrol engine that’s assisted by two electric motors to generate 160hp, resulting in a 0-62mph time of a smidge over 10 seconds.
