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.
