2022 Hyundai Tucson for Sale in Fairfield, CT
Overview
These are exciting times for Hyundai, now that some eagerly anticipated redesigns have been released. Since its 2004 debut, the Tucson has been a popular model for those who want a utility vehicle that’s neither too big nor too small. The Hyundai engineers who worked on this redesign left no stone unturned, and the result is that a great crossover has been made even better. The 2022 Tucson has a daring new look both inside and out, and with its state-of-the-art connectivity technology and safety features, it’s sure to be another winner. There will also be hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and N Line variants, which we’ll cover on their own pages.
Powertrain
The three trim levels (SE, SEL, and Limited) of the ’22 Tucson get the same powertrain: a 187 hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is the default, but all-wheel drive is available. A properly equipped Tucson can tow up to 2,000 pounds. According to EPA listings, all three trims achieve 26 mpg around town and 33 mpg on the highway with FWD. With AWD, they get 24 city/29 highway.
SE
The SE’s attributes include keyless entry, automatic LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, USB ports, two 12-volt power outlets (one in front and one in the cargo area), a 60/40 split fold-down and reclining rear seatback with an armrest and cupholders, and a dual-level cargo floor. Hyundai’s Smart Sense suite of active driver aid technologies comes standard to equip the Tucson SE with automatic high beams, forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, lane following assist, rear occupant alert, and driver attention warning. Plus, its requisite rearview camera is made deluxe with dynamic parking guidance. The infotainment system is basic but has all of the essentials: an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, and HD radio.
SEL
Some of the equipment additions to the SEL are push-button start, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, LED taillights, heated exterior mirrors with turn-signal indicators, side rails for the roof, second-row USB ports, rear privacy glass, front aero wipers, SiriusXM satellite radio, Blue Link Connected Car Services, and HVAC vents for the back row. Cyclist and junction turning detection technology augments the forward collision-avoidance assist system, while blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, and safe exit warning are added to the Smart Sense suite. Two optional equipment bundles – the Convenience Package and the Premium Package – are offered to further deck out this trim.
Limited
The Limited changes up its appearance with a blacked-out grille and other exterior accents and a panoramic roof, and it gets two features that are exclusive in this class: a hands-free/gesture-free liftgate and Hyundai Digital Key (which lets your smartphone act as the vehicle’s key fob). Some other noteworthy upgrades to the Limited are a heated steering wheel, paddle shifters, projector-type LED headlights, premium LED daytime running lights, LED interior lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, leather seats (ventilated in the front row), a power front passenger’s seat, position memory for the driver, heated rear outboard seats, and voice-controlled air conditioning with Multi-Air Mode. This loaded edition has abundant special technology, such as an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, wireless smartphone charging, a 10.25-inch hoodless digital instrument cluster, and ambient interior lighting with 64 different color options. The most deluxe version of the active safety suite is standard, adding navigation-based adaptive cruise control with curve control, front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view monitor, a blind-spot view monitor, highway driving assist, an advanced rear occupant alert system, and Remote Smart Parking Assist. The infotainment system moves up to a 10.25-inch touchscreen (which means that the smartphone integration changes to the conventional plug-in variety), navigation, and a really nice Bose sound system.
