Hyundai has introduced a cheaper version of the Tucson hybrid for 2026. \u00a0
\nIt is now available as a front-wheel-drive variant that starts at $32,550, including destination charge. \u00a0
\nHyundai is also launching a new Tucson Hybrid Night trim with gloss-black upgrades. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Hyundai is making the Tucson hybrid a bit more affordable for 2026. The automaker is introducing two new front-wheel-drive variants of the crossover that are $1,500 cheaper than their all-wheel-drive counterparts, making the crossover one of the cheapest hybrids in its segment. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The introduction of the 2026 Tucson Hybrid SE FWD lowers the hybrid’s starting price to $32,550, making it slightly more expensive than the Kia Sportage Hybrid<\/a>. The Tucson Hybrid<\/a> also now undercuts the 2026 Toyota RAV4, which comes standard as a front-wheel-drive hybrid. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tucson Hybrid features a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine producing 231 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque combined. The eight-speed automatic transmission is the standard gearbox. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The automaker is also adding a new Night edition to the Tucson lineup, which starts at $44,175. The trim features 19-inch black alloy wheels with silver Hyundai<\/a> logos, gloss-black front and rear bumper trim, black mirror caps, and black window surrounds. It\u2019s based on the Tucson Limited trim and comes standard with a head-up display, Bose audio, a heated steering wheel, and more. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Motor1\u2019s Take: Affordability is a major issue for consumers right now, and budget-conscious buyers might appreciate Hyundai’s offer of a more affordable hybrid as gas prices remain high. Maybe that\u2019s why the automaker just had one of its best sales months ever in May. \u00a0<\/p>\n
