Hyundai's compact Tucson crossover is handsome no matter which powertrain you choose, but the hybrid and plug-in-hybrid versions offer some pretty swell advantages. For starters, they're more powerful than their gas-only counterpart (which we review separately), giving them an accelerative advantage, and they use less fuel to boot. The Tucson Hybrid maxes out at 38 mpg across the board, while the Tucson PHEV manages 77 MPGe and can travel 32 miles on battery power alone. The rest of the package is similar to what you get with the standard-issue model, including an attractive warranty, decent cargo space, and a tech-forward interior with plenty of screen real estate.
