2018 Hyundai Tuscon

A New Look to Inspire Adventure 

“The Tucson exterior and interior designs intertwine sleekness with sophistication,” said Scott Margason, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “More functionality and practicality are featured within the 2018 Tucson delivering a modern-day CUV.”

For the 2018 model year, Tucson continues to improve in key areas:

The SE trim remains the base model, while the SE Popular Equipment package becomes the SEL trim model and includes the addition of the 7-inch audio display system with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. The SE Plus is renamed the SEL Plus building off of the new SEL nomenclature. The Value and Limited trims remain for the 2018 model year and include feature enhancements by model.

The first is the 1.6-litre turbocharged, four-cylinder with an estimated 175 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque coupled to a first-in-segment seven-speed EcoShift® dual-clutch transmission (DCT). This engine is found in the Value, Limited or Limited models.
