If you've been shopping for an electrified SUV and wondering, "Does Hyundai have a plug-in hybrid?", the team at Jenkins Hyundai of Jacksonville has a clear answer: Yes! The Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid is Hyundai's current PHEV offering, and it's genuinely worth a closer look.
Meet the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid
The Hyundai Tucson PHEV pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor and a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery. Total system output comes in at 268 horsepower, which is a solid bump over the standard hybrid version. All-wheel drive comes standard, so Florida drivers heading out on weekend adventures or rainy-day commutes are covered.
Charging Is Simple
One of the best things about a plug-in hybrid is flexibility. When you have access to an outlet or a Level 2 charger, the Hyundai Tucson PHEV can fully recharge in approximately two hours using its 7.2 kW onboard charger at 240V. Plus, when you're not near a charger, the gas engine takes over seamlessly.
PHEV vs. Standard Hybrid: What's the Difference?
A standard hybrid charges itself through regenerative braking and the engine. A plug-in hybrid does that too, but also lets you charge from an external power source to build up a larger electric-only range. For drivers who run mostly short, predictable routes around Jacksonville, FL, that distinction can mean real savings at the pump.
