2023 Hyundai Tucson

The 2023 Hyundai Tuscon is available in seven different trim levels and three different engines available. The different trim levels are: SE, SEL, XRT, N Line, Limited, Blue Hybrid, SEL Convenience Hybrid, and Limited Hybrid. The four-door compact SUV has fully galvanized steel panels, wheels with silver accents, a black grille and rear bumper, and light-tinted glass to reduce glare for driver and passengers alike.

The powertrain on the entry-level 2023 Hyundai Tuscon is a 2.5 liter four-cylinder but the hybrid trims use a turbocharged 1.6 four-cylinder coupled with an electric motor to give the vehicle more power. While the hybrids come with a standard six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the gas-powered trims can be in either front or all-wheel drive and have an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The compact SUV is not a vehicle sought after for its speed, so, understandably, the 2023 Hyundai Tuscon has a moderate acceleration rate. The gas-powered trims typically reach 60 miles per hour in a little under nine seconds, while the hybrids that boast a little more pep because of the additional electric engine reach 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds. The Tuscon handles well with responsive power steering and a smooth ride in the cabin. Interior

The interior of the 2023 Hyundai Tucson is ergonomically sound, with a spacious cabin that makes the ride, even for tall adults, very comfortable. The front seats have ample legroom and the rear seats provide enough space for the seat to recline. The windshield is wide, providing plenty of visibility for the driver.

An eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system keeps everything easy to access in the vehicle and the sleek design ensures no pesky buttons get in the way or mess up the aesthetic of the smooth dash. High-quality material within the cabin help to insulate and keep things quiet while the steering wheel is comfortable to hold, even on long drives.

The 2023 Hyundai Tuscon comes standard with technology features and driver aids to keep the focus on the road. A smart navigation system gives clear directions and provides a vivid map while the voice activation easily recognizes commands. Driver aids like the blind-spot warning and adaptive cruise control are helpful in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Front and rear parking senors make parking a cinch, especially for the novice driver. Pedestrian detection and speed limit assist features, which are now standard on the Tuscon, ensure the driver doesn't miss important details on the road. For parents, the rear seat occupant alert is an extra pair of eyes to help keep kids safe.
