Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: EPA combined test-cycle figure for the configuration Tucson FWD (25 city, 32 highway). EPA data dated 2026-09-09, the latest modifiedOn date EPA records in vehicles.csv.↩
  2. CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 323 g/mi, or 201 g/km.↩
  3. Fuel cost: an estimate — 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon (EIA US regular, 2026-09-14). Five years: $10,643. No publisher states this figure.↩
  4. Power: 187 hp is the rated figure, from NHTSA's CAFE market data.↩
  5. Crash rating: NHTSA rated vehicles under this nameplate, but the ratings differ between the configurations it tested and none of them is this car's, so no rating is stated.↩
  6. Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (TUCSON), as of 2026-09-10. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
  7. Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the Tucson nameplate (80, of which 13 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 165,424 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). No publisher states the rate itself.↩
  8. Kerb weight: not published. EPA certification alone states a curb weight for this car, and another source's figure for this nameplate could not be attributed to this car.↩
  9. EPA test weight: not published. EPA values disagree.↩
  10. Warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles, from Hyundai's published 2024 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩
  11. Registrations: 11,241 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 petrol scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
  13. Price: no price is published for this car. NHTSA's CAFE market data prices this market's cars by compliance configuration, and it lists none matching this one.↩

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.
