The 2026 Hyundai Tucson is a standout choice for drivers who want a well-rounded compact crossover that is comfortable, practical, and stylish. Its bold design, spacious and versatile cabin, and convenient size make it an appealing option for daily commuting and weekend travel alike. Danbury Hyundai is pleased to serve drivers from Carmel, NY, to Waterbury, CT, with a diverse selection of the latest Hyundai Tucson models. Here's a quick look at some of the highlights for 2026.
Differences Between the 2025 and 2026 Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson saw a significant refresh for the 2025 model year, including updated exterior styling and upgraded infotainment displays. As such, the crossover enters 2026 with only minimal changes. SEL Convenience trim is now called SEL Premium, and the XRT trim adds a new Terrain drive mode. Additionally, the 2026 Hyundai Tucson can tow up to 2,750 pounds (up from 2,000 pounds in 2025) with available trailer brakes.
Performance
The 2026 Tucson is propelled by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generating 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while HTRAC® all-wheel drive is available for drivers who want added traction in changing conditions.
Interior and Practicality
Inside, the Tucson offers an inviting, modern cabin with intuitive controls and supportive seating in both rows. Passenger space is excellent for a compact crossover, and its cargo area is one of the most versatile in the segment. Behind the second row, the Tucson provides 38.7 cubic feet of storage. When your Danbury outings require even more storage, you can fold the rear seats to reveal 80.3 cubic feet.
Infotainment and Safety Technology
A 12.3-inch touchscreen comes standard on every Tucson, providing access to wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Over-the-Air update capability. Upper trims add a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, creating a sleek, dual-screen layout that enhances visibility and usability.
The 2026 Hyundai Tucson supports your attentive driving with an extensive roster of Hyundai SmartSense technologies, including standard driver aids like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Safe Exit Warning, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go.
