The 2026 Hyundai Tucson is available in 6 trim levels:

• SE

• SEL Plus
• XRT
• SEL Premium
• Limited

To learn more about the available features of this Hyundai model, you can check out our 2026 Hyundai Tucson trim comparison. If you're not sure which trim is the right fit for you, the team at our Topsham-area Hyundai dealership can help you compare the benefits of each Tucson trim.

What engine options are available in the 2026 Hyundai Tucson?

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson comes standard with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 178 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a  smooth-shifting  8-speed SHIFTRONIC®   automatic transmission.  This setup achieves EPA fuel economy estimates of  25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway   in front-wheel drive, or  24 mpg city / 30 mpg highway   when equipped with all-wheel drive. 

Does the 2026 Hyundai Tucson offer all-wheel drive across all trims?

Front-wheel drive comes standard on the Tucson, while HTRAC All-Wheel Drive is available across the lineup. While AWD slightly reduces fuel efficiency, it improves handling on uneven terrain and increasing drivers' confidence in winter weather, a plus for Maine drivers.

What is the cargo space and interior dimensions of the 2026 Hyundai Tucson?

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson provides about 39 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row and expands to nearly 75 cubic feet when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are stowed flat.  When shoppers step into our showroom to inspect the interior layout, they frequently test how quickly the rear seatbacks tumble flat before checking the rear cargo opening dimensions. The wide liftgate aperture and low load floor make loading heavy coolers, luggage, or sporting equipment simple. 

The Tucson seats 5 passengers with plenty of room to spread out, offering a balance of passenger comfort and cargo capacity that ensures you never have to leave gear behind. Second-row passenger space represents only a slight decrease from front row dimensions, meaning there's no crunch for back-seat passengers on long drives.

Passenger Space	Front Row	Back Row
Head room (inches)	40.1	39.5
Leg room (inches)	41.4	41.3
Shoulder room (inches)	57.6	56.0
Hip room (in	54.5	53.9

What is the towing capacity of the 2026 Hyundai Tucson?

The Tucson delivers a maximum towing capacity of 2,750 lbs when properly equipped. Reaching the maximum 2,750-pound towing capacity on requires an installed trailer hitch receiver and an active trailer brake controller system. Without trailer brakes, the unbraked towing capacity is rated at 1,650 lbs. This capability allows owners to confidently haul light utility trailers, small boats, or recreational gear.

• Max Towing (With Trailer Brakes): 2,750 lbs
• Max Towing (Without Trailer Brakes): 1,650 lbs

Higher trim levels feature a column-mounted shift-by-wire gear selector and physical control knobs for primary audio and climate functions.

The updated interior layout combines high-tech convenience with everyday practicality. A open dashboard shelf gives front passengers a place for small items, while upgraded front USB-C ports deliver faster device charging. Mid-level and upper trims include a Hands-Free Smart Liftgate with auto-open and adjustable height settings, allowing hands-free cargo access when your arms are full.

Driver safety is supported by the Hyundai SmartSense driver-assistance suite. Standard features include:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection

A 12-inch Head-up Display is available exclusively on the Limited trim.

Does the 2026 Hyundai Tucson support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

Do you need additional equipment to reach the maximum towing capacity on a 2026 Tucson?

Does the 2026 Hyundai Tucson have a hands-free smart liftgate?
