Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: not published. A fuel-economy figure was published for this car (35.0 mpg) and is withheld here: it is not comparable with the other cars in this list.↩
  2. CO₂: EPA's charge-weighted composite — the miles it assumes are driven on grid electricity are credited at zero tailpipe — 100 g/mi, or 62 g/km. It is lower than the tailpipe rating a petrol car states, and it is not what the car emits with the battery empty.↩
  3. Fuel cost: not estimated. A plug-in hybrid's fuel use depends on how much of its driving is done on the battery, so no cost is computed for it.↩
  4. Power: 177 hp is the combustion engine's rating alone, from EPA test-car data; the basis is confirmed by NHTSA's vPIC engine record. The whole car's output with the electric motor is not published by any free source, so it is not stated.↩
  5. Crash rating: not published. NHTSA lists this car (20790, 19535) and publishes no overall rating for it: it rates a car overall only when it has run the frontal, side and rollover tests on it.↩
  6. Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (TUCSON PHEV), as of 2026-09-10. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
  7. Complaints: NHTSA holds 6 for the 2024 Tucson, 2 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: complaints no VIN places, or production no fuel code places, make the rate uncertain by more than 5%.↩
  8. Kerb weight: a trim average across the compliance configuration (NHTSA CAFE), 4,202 lb (1,906 kg); corroborated by the EPA test weight.↩
  9. EPA test weight: 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) is the equivalent test weight class EPA tested this configuration at, not the kerb weight.↩
  10. Warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles, from Hyundai's published 2024 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩
  11. Registrations: 848 Tucsons of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
  12. This car is measured on the plug-in scale: miles per gallon on fuel, a charge-weighted CO₂ rating that credits its electric miles, and engine horsepower. MPGe and the plain tailpipe rating do not apply to it.↩
  13. Price: $42,088, the average manufacturer's suggested retail price across the trims of this compliance configuration, as filed in NHTSA's CAFE market data, as of 2026-09-15.↩

Coverage: Fewer plug-in hybrids are ranked for 2024 than for 2023 or 2025. EPA's 2024 fuel-economy file, the source of every US car in these standings, lists no plug-in version of several cars it lists for both of those years, among them the Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, Kia Niro, BMW X5, Volvo S90 and Porsche Cayenne. Those plug-in hybrids are missing from the 2024 standings, not ranked low.
