Performance & Powertrain Options

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is a flexible compact SUV with eight trims, offering both gas and hybrid options. The SE, SEL, XRT, and Limited trims come with a 2.5-liter engine that gives 187 horsepower. It also has an eight-speed automatic transmission and options for either front- or all-wheel drive. With front-wheel drive, it reaches 32 MPG on the highway, making it efficient and powerful for its size.

The Sportage has a similar 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Most trims offer front-wheel drive with available all-wheel drive. The fuel economy is also 32 MPG on the highway for front-wheel drive but drops to 28 MPG with all-wheel drive. Trims like the X-Pro include off-road features like 17-inch black rims, all-terrain tires, and drive modes for rugged conditions.

Off-road Capabilities

If you’re interested in off-road capability, the Tucson is a strong choice. The available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system adjusts power between the front and rear wheels for better traction on rough surfaces like dirt, gravel, and snow. The Tucson’s high ground clearance and strong build make it stable on rugged paths. While it’s not a full off-road vehicle, the 2024 Tucson is ready for both city streets and adventurous trails.

The Sportage is also built for light off-roading, especially with the X-Line and X-Pro trims. These rugged trims come with all-wheel drive, which provides better control on rough paths. The X-Pro trim goes further, offering 17-inch black alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, and drive modes to handle mud, snow, or gravel. Its extra ground clearance and sturdy suspension help make it a solid choice for light off-road adventures.
