The 2026 Hyundai Tucson carries forward the major refresh Hyundai introduced for 2025, pairing a more modern exterior with a redesigned dashboard. A 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard on every trim, and Hyundai brought back physical knobs for volume and tuning for easier use on the daily commute. With about 147 cubic feet of total interior volume, there’s room for both passengers and gear. Browse the full new Tucson lineup at Ontario Hyundai, serving shoppers across the Inland Empire.
The gas-powered Tucson uses a 2.5L four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic. The Tucson Hybrid steps up to a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder and electric motor for a combined 231 horsepower, with the entry-level Hybrid Blue SE rated at an EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined. Front-wheel drive is standard on every gas trim, and available HTRAC all-wheel drive adds traction when you need it; all hybrid trims come with AWD standard.
The gas lineup spans six trims, from the well-equipped SE up to the top Limited. The mid-range SEL Plus is a popular sweet spot, adding H-Tex synthetic leather seating surfaces and a hands-free smart liftgate. The XRT brings a more rugged look with 18-inch XRT-exclusive alloy wheels and unique cladding, and when equipped with HTRAC AWD it adds Terrain Mode settings for snow, mud, and sand.
