You may notice the front-end lighting is surrounded by a dramatic grille, with the rear-end having a strip of LED lights running the length of the vehicle. Overall, the Hyundai Tucson feels sporty, with subtle touches of elegant design you may not expect with an "affordable" SUV. The brand has created a clean, sharp vibe for this family-friendly nameplate, andthe 2024 version remains relatively untouched from last year on the outside.

Fuel Economy and MPG
For the fuel economy and MPG estimates that come alongside this year's Hyundai Tucson, you have the EPA suggesting the following miles per gallon on both city and highway routes:
- 2024 Hyundai Tucson FWD: 28 combined, 25/32 city/highway
- 2024 Hyundai Tucson AWD: 25 combined, 23/29 city/highway
- 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid: 37 combined, 37/36 city/highway
- 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Blue: 38 combined, 38/38 city/highway
- 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid: 80 combined MPGe, 35 combined city/highway MPG
Therefore, the 2024 Hyundai Tucson's hybrid and PHEV configurations offer the best fuel economy. FWD has slightly better MPG ratings than AWD, which is pretty standard.
Engine, Drivetrain, and Performance
When it comes to the engine and drivetrain of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson, this sporty SUV boasts a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine across its ICE trims, producing 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. This is all thanks to its efficient design, which only changes once you reach hybrid models, as they add an electric element to them. Many drivers of Tucson recommend it for being smooth on the road and perky to changes in driving, so that is great news for road trippers.
Ride and Handling
Regarding the ride and handling of the all-new Tucson SUV, you will have a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. As we shared earlier, the FWD configuration proves better for MPG ratings, although Hyundai's fan-favorite AWD system is worth it if you don't mind slightly higher gas prices. Of course, this all comes down to your on-road needs and preferences.
In tests, the all-wheel-drive Limited model reached 60 MPH in 8.8 seconds. For more performance, consider the hybrid models, which provide a quicker, though not sports car-level, driving experience.
