“I love my Hyundai Tucson. It is sleek and easy to drive. The interior is comfortable and roomy. The sound system is very good. Love wireless Apple CarPlay. Also, the safety features are amazing. There are only two small things I dislike: the driver side window has a lot of wind noise. The second is when the sunroof is open, the wind sound is overbearing.”
2022 Hyundai Tucson: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is an all-new fourth-generation model. Its biggest change is a larger, roomier design with a completely reworked cabin and a broader range of gas and electrified powertrains.
About the 2022 Hyundai Tucson
4th gen (2022-2024), first year
Hyundai positions the Tucson as a compact SUV for shoppers who want family-friendly space and daily ease without stepping up to a larger vehicle. Its core appeal is the mix of standout styling, generous interior room, strong safety content, and a wide spread of powertrains that includes gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid choices. Against rivals like the CR-V and RAV4, Hyundai leans on a more dramatic design and a more upscale, tech-forward cabin feel.
The lineup runs from the straightforward SE, with an 8-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to the upscale Limited, with leather, a panoramic sunroof, Bose audio, and camera-based parking aids. Blue focuses on efficiency with a 226-hp hybrid system and AWD. N Line adds a sportier look without extra power, while XRT uses dark exterior trim and a factory tow hitch for a tougher appearance.
What changed, by category
Structural
The fourth-generation Tucson has a longer wheelbase, more rear-seat room, and a larger cargo area. Rear legroom increases from 38.2 to 41.3 inches, while cargo capacity rises from 61.9 to 80.3 cubic feet.
Powertrain
Gas models move to a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. A 226-hp turbocharged hybrid with standard AWD joins the range, along with plug-in hybrid versions of SEL and Limited.
Styling
The exterior is completely redesigned with a bolder shape and lights integrated into the grille. The new N Line adds sport-focused trim, while the later XRT adds darkened body details and a more rugged appearance.
Tech
The redesigned dashboard brings an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to SE. Higher trims add equipment such as a 10.25-inch digital instrument display, a 10.25-inch navigation touchscreen, Bose audio, and camera-based parking aids.
Safety
The redesigned lineup expands its driver-assistance equipment. SE has forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping support, and a rear-seat reminder, while SEL and higher trims add features such as blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.

2022 Hyundai Tucson
(1,336 reviews)
“This vehicle has everything I need and some things I don't but are nice to have. My biggest concern is warranty and this vehicle has one of the best. It's nice to know that I don't have to worry about repairs at least until it's paid off.”
“This is a beautiful reliable vehicle. I do not like having to hold the trunk button if you're opening from inside the car. If there is more than one phone connected to Bluetooth the system gets confused. Sometimes the map is unreliable and you have to wait for the system to catch up. That can be dangerous. This is a small car so it fits four comfortably. Five is pushing it.”
