Hyundai Tucson Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Tucson is Hyundai's compact SUV and one of the brand's best known models. It comes in gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid versions, which means the price you see depends heavily on which powertrain the number refers to.

The figures here are for the 2026 model year, the current one with published U.S. pricing. A 2027 U.S. price has not been listed, and a newer model year may be priced differently, so confirm with a dealer if the model year on the lot has changed. All prices below come from MotorTrend and include destination.

The gas lineup starts with the SE FWD at $31,350, followed by the SEL FWD at $32,700. The XRT AWD is $36,875 and the SEL Premium AWD is $37,200. The Limited AWD is the top gas trim at $42,825.

Notice that the cheapest trims are front-wheel drive and the upper ones are all-wheel drive. That means part of the jump from SEL to the next step is the drivetrain, not only equipment.

The hybrid starts with the Hybrid SE FWD at $32,950. The Hybrid SEL AWD is $35,900, the Hybrid Limited AWD is $44,075, and the Hybrid Night AWD is $44,575.

The plug-in hybrid versions cost noticeably more. The Plug-In Hybrid SEL AWD is $42,325, and the Plug-In Hybrid Limited AWD is $50,550.

A plain hybrid keeps the car as simple to live with as a gas model, since you fill it at a pump and never plug in. A plug-in hybrid adds a larger battery that you can charge at home, which can cut fuel use for short trips but raises the sticker. Whether it pays off depends on your commute, access to charging, and local electricity and fuel prices. The EPA's fueleconomy.gov lists official ratings, and federal or state incentives may apply to plug-in models, though eligibility rules change.

The easiest comparison is the Limited AWD. It is $42,825 as a gas model, $44,075 as a hybrid, and $50,550 as a plug-in hybrid. That ladder shows what each step in electrification costs on an otherwise similar trim.

• SE. The lowest price, for shoppers focused on the monthly payment.
• SEL. A common middle choice, available with front-wheel drive in both gas and hybrid forms.
• XRT. A more rugged appearance with AWD.
• Limited. The comfort and technology trim, in gas, hybrid, and plug-in forms.
• Night. A styled hybrid version with a higher price.

Before upgrading, read Hyundai's equipment list. Many buyers pay for features they never use.

The prices above are a starting point. Your out-the-door total also includes taxes and registration, dealer documentation fees, accessories, and any dealer markup. Markup varies by region and demand. Ask for a written, itemized quote from several dealers, and confirm whether destination is shown as a separate line or already rolled into the vehicle price.

Insurance depends on your ZIP code, record, and trim. Fuel use depends on the powertrain, and plug-in owners should also consider home charging setup. Ask your dealer about warranty coverage and service intervals. Tire costs can rise with larger wheels on upper trims.

Monthly payments come down to credit, down payment, loan term, and rate. Hyundai sometimes advertises finance or lease offers on selected models. Compare them with a pre-approved loan from your bank or credit union. For personal financial advice, consult a licensed professional.
