Performance That Matches Your Lifestyle: Tucson's Powertrain Overview
The 2025 Tucson stands out by offering three distinct powertrain configurations. Each option comes with standard HTRAC all-wheel drive, ensuring Canadian drivers maintain confidence in all weather conditions. The lineup includes a refined 2.5L gas engine, an enhanced hybrid system, and a capable plug-in hybrid variant, allowing buyers to select the perfect balance of performance and efficiency for their needs.
The Standard Powerhouse: 2.5L Smartstream Engine
At the heart of the gas-powered Tucson sits the Smartstream 2.5-liter engine, generating 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery. The combination offers an engaging driving experience while maintaining practical efficiency for daily commuting and weekend adventures.
Hybrid Excellence: Enhanced Power and Efficiency Combined
The Tucson Hybrid raises the performance bar with its turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and electric motor combination. This sophisticated system produces 231 combined horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid powertrain now features a more powerful 47.7-kW electric motor and a 1.49-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, working through a specially tuned six-speed automatic transmission.
The Ultimate Choice: Plug-in Hybrid Capability
For drivers seeking maximum versatility, the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid delivers with its robust 268 horsepower system. Available in the Ultimate trim, this powertrain combines a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with a potent 72.0-kW electric motor.
