Hyundai Tucson 2027 debuts with plug-in hybrid powertrain

The Hyundai Tucson 2027 debuts with a 292-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain and up to 81 kilometers of electric range, launching a fifth generation that grows larger and swaps its urban silhouette for a muscular todocamino stance. Periodismo del Motor reported that the compact SUV measures 4.70 meters long in certain specifications, while motorpoint.com and Híbridos y Eléctricos note dimensions of 4.56 meters in length, 1.90 meters in width, and 1.67 meters in height, with a 2.72-meter wheelbase.

The Fifth Generation Grows Larger With Up to 695 Liters of Cargo Space

The new Tucson expands across its exterior dimensions, adding 35 millimeters in length and width and 20 millimeters in height compared to its predecessor, according to Híbridos y Eléctricos. That size increase yields a cargo capacity reaching up to 695 liters, depending on the chosen motorization and configuration. Periodismo del Motor reported that the vehicle incorporates the Art of Steel design language, bringing sharper body lines, pronounced wheel arches, and a front lighting signature called H-Edge. Carwow.es noted that the model transitions from a traditional family SUV aesthetic toward a more rugged todocamino look while offering an interior trunk volume that surpasses the outgoing version’s 546 to 620 liters.

Gasoline, Hybrid, and Plug-In Powertrains Deliver Up to 292 Horsepower

The entry-level motor is a 1.6 T-GDI gasoline engine producing 150 horsepower, offered with a six-speed manual transmission or a 48-volt microhybrid system with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox, according to Híbridos y Eléctricos. Above that sits the standard hybrid variant delivering 245 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque via a 1.49 kWh battery.

Cabin Technology Combines AI Voice Assistants With Physical Buttons

Inside the cabin, Hyundai introduces a two-tier dashboard layout that pairs digital displays with physical buttons for frequent controls, ensuring drivers do not rely solely on touchscreen menus. The interior features a 9.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a central multimedia screen measuring 12.9 or 17 inches depending on the trim level. Additional interior features include Ergo Motion pneumatic massage seats, a three-zone climate control system, and a new HEV Stay mode that keeps air conditioning, audio, and device charging running while the combustion engine is turned off.

Paris Motor Show Debut Precedes 2027 European Commercial Launch

Hyundai plans to display a dynamic design variant of the new Tucson at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, 2026, before manufacturing the vehicle at its plant in the Czech Republic. Commercial deliveries across Europe are scheduled to begin in 2027. Carwow.es reported that while official pricing and trim levels for Spain remain unannounced by the manufacturer, current generation models trade at an average discount of 7,509 euros ahead of the upcoming generational transition.
