The Tucson lineup is carefully tiered to suit a wide range of lifestyles. The SE establishes a strong foundation with a clean, modern cabin, a crystal-clear 12.3” touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and Hyundai SmartSense® safety systems as standard.

The SEL trim adds everyday luxuries such as a hands-free smart liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and upgraded wheels, making it a natural step up for families and professionals.

Upgrade to the SEL Premium for a more technologically-forward experience, pairing the panoramic curved display with connected navigation, a digital instrument cluster, and Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium for smartphone-based access.

The XRT trim brings a tougher visual edge with its exclusive exterior cladding, unique wheels, and design details that lean into an adventurous aesthetic while retaining on-road refinement.

At the top of the range, the Limited trim transforms the Tucson into a luxury vehicle, offering leather-trimmed seating, a panoramic sunroof, surround-view monitoring, and Remote Smart Parking Assist for effortless maneuvering.

Every 2026 Tucson is powered by a robust 2.5L 4-cylinder engine producing 187 hp and 178 lbs.-ft. of torque. Smooth, responsive, and engineered for efficiency, it’s paired with front-wheel drive as standard and delivers up to 33 MPG combined.

The available HTRAC All-wheel drive system actively distributes torque between the axles, enhancing traction during Florida downpours or when roads become slick after coastal storms.

The Tucson emphasizes balanced performance rather than outright aggression. Steering is composed and predictable, ride quality is tuned for comfort over long drives, and the chassis feels stable at highway speeds.

Available AWD adds confidence without sacrificing efficiency, while the Tucson’s compact dimensions make it easy to navigate parking lots and urban streets around Clearwater and nearby beach communities.

Inside, the Tucson focuses on space and usability. Supportive seating that’s thoughtfully shaped is available in leather or H-Tex® surfaces. Rear passengers benefit from generous legroom, and the wide-opening rear doors make entry and exit effortless. With the rear seats folded, the Tucson offers expansive cargo capacity suitable for beach gear, groceries, or weekend travel.

Top it off with the available panoramic sunroof to flood the cabin with natural light, reinforcing the Tucson’s airy, modern atmosphere.

Hyundai has gone above and beyond on the tech front, offering a panoramic curved display that combines a 12.3” touchscreen with a digital instrument cluster into one seamless, high-resolution interface. Bluelink+ connectivity enables remote start, climate control, and vehicle access from a smartphone.

Wireless charging, Digital Key 2 Premium, over-the-air software updates, and Remote Smart Parking Assist elevate daily convenience, while available navigation-based Smart Cruise Control adapts speed for curves and changing road conditions.

Hyundai SmartSense comes standard across the lineup, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Warning. Higher trims add advanced features such as Highway Driving Assist, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Advanced Rear Occupant Alert with sensor-based monitoring and smartphone notifications. Together, these systems provide reassurance for families and commuters alike.
