The 2025 Hyundai Tucson has three sophisticated powertrain options, each engineered to deliver optimal performance while meeting diverse driving needs. Every version comes standard with HTRAC all-wheel drive, ensuring confident handling in all Canadian weather conditions.
Conventional Power Meets Modern Efficiency
The standard 2.5-litre Smartstream engine delivers impressive performance with 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. This refined powerplant pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, providing quick, smooth shifts and responsive acceleration. The conventional powertrain offers an ideal balance of performance and efficiency for drivers seeking traditional reliability with modern sophistication.
Hybrid Innovation
The enhanced hybrid system combines a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine with a more powerful 47.7-kW electric motor, generating a combined 231 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This advanced hybrid powertrain maintains full HTRAC all-wheel drive capability while adding the efficiency benefits of electrification. The system features adjustable regenerative braking and e-Motion technology for enhanced cornering performance.
Plug-in Performance
The range-topping plug-in hybrid pairs the 1.6-litre turbo engine with a robust 72.0-kW electric motor, producing a combined 268 horsepower. This powerful yet efficient system delivers the same 258 pound-feet of torque as the hybrid while adding substantial electric-only driving capability. The 13.8-kWh battery charges in less than two hours using Level 2 charging, making it practical for daily commuting and longer journeys alike.
Innovative Drive Modes
All 2025 Tucson powertrains feature selectable drive modes, including a new My Drive mode for personalized settings. The new Baby Mode provides gentler acceleration for smooth family transport, while Green Zone mode optimizes electric operation in urban areas. Sport mode enhances driving dynamics by sending additional torque to the rear wheels.
Advanced HTRAC Technology
The HTRAC all-wheel drive system integrates seamlessly with each powertrain option, providing intelligent power distribution for enhanced stability and control. This advanced system monitors driving conditions continuously and adjusts power between the front and rear wheels for optimal traction.
The 2025 model introduced expanded capabilities with driver-selectable HTRAC Eco, Sport, and the new My Drive modes. Each mode optimizes power delivery characteristics, while specialized Terrain modes for Snow, Mud, and Sand ensure capability across diverse conditions. Sport mode particularly showcases HTRAC's versatility by directing additional torque to the rear wheels for more dynamic handling.
