Can a 2023 Hyundai Tucson PHEV Save Me Money on Fuel?

If you find yourself spending more and more money at the gas station, you’re not alone. With fuel prices skyrocketing, many drivers are looking for green alternatives. Here at Kearny Mesa Hyundai, we have a quickly growing number of hybrid and electric vehicles, one of the most popular of which is the 2023 Hyundai Tucson PHEV, a plug-in hybrid SUV that can help you save at the pump.

Advantages of Buying a Hybrid Hyundai SUV

Compared to your average gasoline-powered vehicle, the 2023 Hyundai Tucson PHEV is more fuel efficient, so you fill up less often. Looking under this Hyundai hybrid SUV’s hood, you’ll find a potent 1.6-liter turbo engine and an electric motor. Combined, these two power sources achieve output numbers of 261 net horsepower while still offering excellent fuel economy.

Another advantage of this hybrid Hyundai SUV is that you can utilize electric-only mode for shorter trips around town. The manufacturer-estimated range of the battery is 33 miles. Regenerative braking technology works by having the brakes convert energy into electric power, recharging the battery. Meanwhile, standard HTRAC® all-wheel drive makes the vehicle excel in all climate conditions and various road surfaces.

When it comes to charging, there are more public charging stations than ever, especially here in the San Diego, CA, area. If you’re charging with a 240-volt charger at home or on the road, the vehicle can reach full battery capacity in under two hours.
