2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid vs. PHEV

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is an excellent option for car buyers on the market for a compact crossover SUV that’s also highly fuel efficient. This model, though, is also available as a plug-in hybrid. How do these two variants within the same model compare? Get more information on both variations at Blaise Alexander Hyundai of State College.

Performance Highlights

On the performance front, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid has a 231-horsepower output, while the PHEV version has slightly more at 261 horsepower. They both share a 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI Four-Cylinder engine mated to the six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®. This enables the engine to more easily upshift and downshift without overrevving or stalling out. In addition, the brand’s HTRAC® All-Wheel-Drive comes standard. Both have more power than the non-hybrid Hyundai Tucson and its gasoline inline four-cylinder engine with its 187-horsepower output.

Towing Prowess

The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and PHEV have quite impressive towing capabilities for a compact crossover. Both have identical tow capacities at 1,650 lbs and 2,000 lbs without the available trailer brakes and with it, respectively. This applies across all trims.

Hyundai Tucson PHEV Charging Time

Of course, one major difference is that the PHEV variant is chargeable. It has a larger 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, compared to 1.49 kWh for the hybrid. Total charging time is under two hours using its 7.2-kW onboard charger. It has an estimated 33-mile range in full-electric mode.
