New Hyundai 2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV for Sale in Fairfield, CT
Overview
Hyundai recently welcomed a new choice to its lineup, the first-ever Tucson Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Many drivers will appreciate not just the increased fuel efficiency but also the convenience of all-electric power for local trips and the extended range of a gas-powered engine for longer distances. The Tucson PHEV blends a state-of-the-art powertrain and crisply styled exterior with all the best features and versatility of a compact crossover. Inside, you’ll find generous accommodations for five and plenty of space for cargo, not to mention a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds.
The Tucson PHEV is backed by America’s Best Warranty, which provides bumper-to-bumper coverage for 5 years/60,000 miles and 10 years/100,000 miles of powertrain protection. Hyundai also includes 3 years of complimentary scheduled maintenance and 5 years of 24/7 roadside assistance. Plus, the hybrid system and electric drivetrain battery are covered for 10 years/100,000 miles. While this overview looks at just the Tucson PHEV, you’ll find separate pages devoted to the other versions of Tucson (the conventional gas-powered, sporty N Line, and regular Hybrid).
