Though the hybrid powertrain makes this the fastest Tucson, and probably second in efficiency only to the plug-in, there are some downsides.

The Hyundai Tucson uses a hybrid power plant with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine and a 44.2-kW motor. Together they create 226 horsepower, 39 more than the base 2.5-liter, four-cylinder, gasoline-only version.

The Tucson Hybrid gets from 0 to 60 in 7.1 seconds, according to Car and Driver, a pretty respectable number. The vehicle felt lively enough for me, even though it’s almost a full second slower than the CX-5.The 6-speed automatic transmission functions nicely in automatic mode. Paddle shifters are there for your shifting pleasure, but they provide something more akin to shifting ennui.

Sitting in the driver’s seat felt eerily familiar, but definitely pleasant. Sometimes I wonder how my weeklong tests hold up over time, and having this slip into my lineup shows thatThe driver’s seat is comfortable and attractive, and provides a nice cushion with support. SUVs can sometimes feel like the accelerator angle is wrong or the seat is not aimed right, but the Tucson has none of that.The rear seat reclines and offers plenty of comfort, plus lots of space for tall people with big feet.

Control in the Limited model comes via touch buttons on the handsome ebony frame surrounding the screen, including for volume and up-down. These can be hard to hit directly, and there’s no good place to rest your palm while making changes.Because both have annoying operational issues, may as well pick the CX-5 here for its far superior sound.The HVAC controls also operate through touch buttons on the ebony dashboard frame. Not my favorite setup, but they work better than the stereo controls.
