Punchy new drivetrain blends grunt with efficiency (Hyundai Tucson Hybrid 2024 review)

Hyundai finally has a direct competitor for the huge-selling Toyota RAV4 Hybrid with its facelifted 2024 Tucson line-up, offering a hybrid.powertrain across the range in both front- and all-wheel drive versions.

With 172kW/367Nm, the new Tucson Hybrid is more powerful than any of its rivals, as well as the turbo-diesel it effectively replaces. Combined with a lightly refreshed exterior and an extensively enhanced interior, is the updated Tucson premium enough, and good enough, to make an impact?

Chasing Cars’ Olek Novak tests the new Tucson Hybrid in its most luxurious form, the range-topping Premium, in matte green!
