Manufactured in Brazil, the new generation of the Hyundai Tucson arrives with a plug-in hybrid engine, a dashboard with two 12,3-inch screens, a 12-inch head-up display and fast charging of up to 2 hours.
Hyundai is about to revolutionize the Brazilian market with the new generation of the Hyundai Tucson, a hybrid SUV that promises an astonishing efficiency of 33 km/l. Scheduled to be manufactured in Anápolis, Goiás, the model is expected to debut between 2025 and 2026, bringing innovations that promise to win over Brazilian drivers. But what makes this SUV so special?
The future of the Brazilian market with the hybrid Hyundai Tucson
Hyundai's decision to manufacture the new generation of the Hyundai Tucson in Brazilian territory is strategic. With this, the brand aims not only to reduce costs, but also to create a closer bond with the local public. The Anápolis factory in Goiás will be the center of this revolution, consolidating Brazil as a key market for hybrid SUVs.
Chinese SUVs have dominated the market with competitive prices and cutting-edge technology. Hyundai knows this and is therefore betting on a Tucson with a bold design, hybrid engine and advanced connectivity. It is a worthy response to face this fierce competition.

Technology and design that enchants
The interior of the new Hyundai Tucson It's a show in itself. With two 12,3-inch curved screens, the dashboard offers an immersive digital experience. Wireless connectivity with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is also guaranteed, along with over-the-air updates that keep the system always modern.
In addition to technological design, comfort is a priority. Spacious and comfortable seats, an intuitive climate control system and a 12-inch head-up display make the driving experience much more enjoyable.
Power and efficiency in the Tucson PHEV engine
Equipped with a 1.6 hp 160 turbo engine and a 98 hp electric motor, the Tucson PHEV delivers an impressive 252 hp of combined power. This configuration ensures acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8,1 seconds, combined with efficient fuel consumption.
The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid offers three driving modes: electric, hybrid and automatic. With a 13,8 kWh battery, the SUV can travel up to 63 km in electric mode. A full charge takes about two hours with a 7,4 kW charger, which is a great option for those with access to home charging points.
Price and positioning in the Brazilian market
In the European market, the Tucson PHEV costs around 49.325 euros, equivalent to R$314. Although the price in Brazil has not yet been confirmed, the model is expected to be competitive, considering its efficiency and comfort.
The SUV stands out in terms of fuel consumption and technology, but faces challenges compared to Chinese SUVs and other hybrids already available in Brazil. However, its local manufacture could be a differentiator in terms of cost and availability.
The new generation of the Hyundai Tucson is a bold and promising bet. With a futuristic design, efficient engine and cutting edge technology, the SUV has everything to win the hearts of Brazilians. If you are looking for a high-performance and economical hybrid, the Tucson PHEV deserves your attention.
It's funny that the company announces the arrival of this shit at a cost of 300 thousand as if it were easy to go out into the woods and get that money from a ****. Brazil's economy is screwed, Brazilians are struggling to work and even a popular car is a huge sacrifice.
Very expensive, above average. Much more advantageous to buy the HR-V
Just for comparison purposes: the GWM HAVAL H6 2025, PHEV34 with 393hp combined, is R$283.000 12/12/24.
