Powering the gasoline models is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 187 horsepower and 182 lb-ft, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid and PHEV models employ a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder unit. This engine puts out 227 hp in the hybrid and 261 hp in the plug-in hybrid. All models come with a six-speed automatic gearbox. The four gasoline-powered trims can choose front-wheel drive or opt for all-wheel drive. The hybrid models come with all-wheel drive.

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson delivers a smooth ride and composed handling. The cabin shields the vehicle's occupants from engine and road noise, even at highway speeds.

The gas engine gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city/33 mpg highway for models with front-wheel drive, while all-wheel-drive Tucsons check in with 24 mpg city/29 mpg highway. The Tucson Hybrid returns 38 mpg city/38 mpg highway. The PHEV is rated at 80 MPGe combined, with the ability to drive 33 miles with electric-only driving.

The automotive media is excited about the 2022 Tucson. Car and Driver writes:

"Previewed by the Vision T concept at the 2019 LA auto show, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson sports a daring new design that seems destined to shake up the compact-SUV marketplace. ... All models are fairly well equipped and the Tucson is among the most stylish options in the segment. It goes head-to-head with several strong rivals such as the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, and the Volkswagen Tiguan, but the new Tucson has brought its A-game."

The base Tucson SE trim comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, remote keyless entry, LED headlights, cloth seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, a six-speaker stereo system, Bluetooth, HD Radio, two USB ports and a wireless charger. Buyers can upgrade to an optional 10.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with built-in navigation.

Standard safety features include a driver attention warning system, a rearview camera, automatic high beams, lane keeping assist, pedestrian detection, forward collision mitigation, and a rear-seat reminder.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2022 Tucson the top marks of Good in all crash tests and named it a Top Safety Pick+, the organization's highest safety designation.
