THESE DAYS, A family SUV doesn’t earn its school run stripes unless it offers a plug-in hybrid option. The ability to do routine daily journeys on battery power alone, combined with a petrol engine for splash-and-dash convenience on longer trips at the weekends, is understandably compelling.
The Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) is the latest to join the roster of electrified SUVs, which include the larger Ford Kuga, the Peugeot 3008 and premium options such as our 2021 Family SUV of the Year, the Volvo XC40.
The Tucson PHEV uses a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine and a six-speed automatic gearbox, working together with an electric motor that’s powered by a 13.8kWh battery. On a full charge (which will take about seven hours from a three-pin domestic socket, or two hours from a 7kW home wallbox), the Tucson is good for up to 38 miles of zero-emissions driving, together with the possibility of up to 201.8mpg if you can plug in regularly and do mostly short trips.
