2024 Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Trim Levels

Mar 5, 2024

The 2024 Hyundai TUCSON plug-in hybrid offers drivers in the Hanford, California, area a compact SUV that delivers plenty of power and efficiency. At Hanford Hyundai, we’re excited about the fantastic new vehicles we have to offer. With a plug-in hybrid SUV, you can hit the road running on purely electric power or switch over to traditional gasoline for longer journeys or in between charges. There are a couple of trim levels to choose from, each one aimed at appealing to different driver needs and preferences.

Let’s take a closer look at the 2024 TUCSON plug-in hybrid trim options.

Standard Across Both Trim Levels

Since there are only two trim levels to choose from, there is a considerable amount of overlap between the two models. The most significant area that the two trim levels have in common is what’s under the hood. Both the SEL and Limited trim levels come standard with a turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine paired with an electric motor to produce 261 horsepower. All-wheel drive is also standard on every TUCSON plug-in hybrid, as is a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Both trim levels share an electric-only range of 33 miles and a maximum gas/electric range of 420 miles, making it a fuel-efficient option if you’re looking for the space of an SUV without sacrificing when it comes to paying at the gas pumps. The SEL and Limited both have a 13.8-kWh lithium-ion battery for outstanding fuel economy.

Both trim levels also offer all the outstanding benefits that come with owning a plug-in hybrid vehicle. This includes the ability to always drive in the high-occupancy vehicle lane regardless of how many passengers you have — or don’t have — with you. Plug-in hybrids all come equipped with regenerative braking capabilities, which help to recharge your battery as you drive. The ability to drive in all-electric mode is highly appealing to many motorists since the 33-mile range is more than enough for most daily commutes, eliminating a reliance on gas for the work week.

You can customize your SEL or Limited by adding optional features such as a cargo cover or screen, a cargo net, carpeted floor mats, roof rack cross rails, illuminated door sill plates, mudguards, a first aid kit, a roadside assistance kit, a rear bumper applique, a cargo tray, a tow hitch, and wheel locks.

2024 Hyundai TUCSON SEL Plug-In Hybrid

The base trim level of the TUCSON plug-in hybrid is the SEL, showcasing all the power and efficiency that this vehicle offers. Features such as 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, daytime running lights, roof rails, remote keyless entry, and proximity keyless entry with a push-button start punctuate the sleek exterior. A hands-free power liftgate makes accessing the rear cargo space easy, even when your hands are full.

Inside the SEL, you’ll find plenty of features that will enhance the comfort and convenience of your drive. The SEL has a built-in navigation system displayed on its 10.25-inch screen. Dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats are designed to keep you comfortable no matter the weather. A wireless smartphone charger, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, and four USB ports ensure you and your passengers are connected when you need it most. This vehicle offers a tilt/telescopic steering wheel and an eight-way power-adjustable seat with lumbar support. The back features a reclining 60/40-split-folding rear seat for comfort and adaptability.

The SEL is equipped with Hyundai Digital Key and Bluelink+ Connected Car, which allows you to open your car with your smartphone, among other features. Adaptive cruise control comes standard, as does an impressive suite of driver-assistance features, including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a junction-turning assist, lane-follow assist, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring with steering assist, and rear cross-traffic alerts. The SEL includes haptic feedback, slightly vibrating the wheel if you cross a lane marker or attempt to change lanes when it isn’t safe.

2024 Hyundai TUCSON Limited Plug-In Hybrid

The Limited trim level takes the plug-in TUCSON to the next level, adding in a bevy of tech and convenience features that will undoubtedly enhance the ride for you and your passengers. Inside, you’ll find standard leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and heated seats in the front and back. The Limited trim level also offers a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a premium Bose audio system, a panoramic sunroof, and 64 colors of available ambient interior lighting.

While the standard safety features on the SEL are certainly enough to put your mind at ease, the Limited adds even more to provide the utmost peace of mind. On the Limited, you’ll find a 360-degree surround-view monitor and a blind-spot view monitor, leaving no angle of this vehicle out of sight. Front and rear parking distance warnings and reverse automatic braking make maneuvering in tight spots even more manageable.

Driving gets even easier with navigation-based smart cruise control and Highway Driving Assist, Hyundai’s semi-autonomous driving system that works by taking control with your assistance. The Limited’s smart cruise control system also includes curve control, which detects approaching curves on the highway and reduces speed accordingly.

The exterior of the Limited stands out thanks to a dark chrome grille and H logo, LED taillights, and side mirrors with integrated turn signals. Rain-sensing wipers turn on automatically when rain is detected, and their speed adjusts depending on the amount of water.
