The 2026 Hyundai Tucson Offers Gas, Hybrid and Plug-In Power With All-Wheel Drive Standard — and No Published Price Anywhere — Rated 5/10

Start with what is missing. Hyundai Canada publishes no price for the Tucson anywhere — not on the showroom page, not on the trims page, not on the specifications page, and not in the official product card. We searched the full page source and found no dollar figure at all. The prices below therefore come from named third parties: Hyundai Auto Canada's own press announcement for the Night Edition, and dealer and AutoTrader listings for the rest.

On that basis the range opens around $35,499 for the Preferred all-wheel drive, with the Hybrid Night Edition at $42,799, the N Line Hybrid at $43,799, the Ultimate Hybrid at $47,799 and the Ultimate Plug-in Hybrid at $53,299. Freight and pre-delivery inspection adds roughly $2,200 on top, and none of the figures is net of incentives.

What that money buys is unusually flexible. The Tucson is one of very few compact SUVs in Canada offered with all three powertrains. The gasoline 2.5-litre four makes 187 horsepower through an eight-speed automatic. The 1.6-litre turbocharged hybrid produces a combined 231 horsepower and 271 pound-feet through a six-speed automatic. The plug-in hybrid lifts that to 268 horsepower with a 13.8-kilowatt-hour battery and 51 kilometres of electric range, which Hyundai describes as its own testing using Natural Resources Canada standards.

HTRAC all-wheel drive is standard on every Canadian trim, including the base Preferred. There is no front-drive Tucson sold here, and every hybrid and plug-in is all-wheel drive by default. The hybrid returns 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, on the highway and combined — the same figure three times, which is unusual — against 8.8 combined for the gasoline car.

Cabin technology is the strongest part of the case. A 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard on every trim, base included, at a moment when several rivals still fit seven- or eight-inch units at that price. The instrument display starts at 4.2 inches and becomes a 12.3-inch digital panel from the Preferred with Trend Package upward, where Digital Key also appears. Navigation and a head-up display arrive at Ultimate, and an eight-speaker Bose system from the N Line Hybrid.

Hyundai SmartSense is standard from the base trim and is comprehensive: forward collision avoidance with pedestrian, cyclist and junction-turning detection, blind-spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic avoidance, adaptive cruise with stop and go, safe exit warning, driver attention warning, intelligent speed limit assist and eight airbags. The Ultimate adds remote smart parking, highway driving assist, blind-view and surround-view monitors.

The practical figures are competitive: 1,097 litres of cargo behind the rear seats and 2,108 with them folded, five seats, a 2,000-pound braked towing rating and 210 millimetres of ground clearance. One caveat — Hyundai Canada publishes those cargo, towing and dimension figures only for the Night Edition Hybrid, so they may differ slightly on the gasoline and plug-in versions. It also publishes no torque figure at all for the 2.5-litre gasoline engine, and we are not going to import an American number to fill the gap.

A 5/10 from the Torbrook Rating Agency sits at the midpoint of our scale, and we state plainly that it is this desk's opinion of the whole package rather than a measurement of any single specification. On the evidence above the Tucson is well equipped and unusually versatile in its powertrain choice; readers should weigh our score against that evidence. The specifications are Hyundai's, the prices are its dealers' and the press; the score is ours.
