This is the plug-in hybrid variant of the Tucson, which probably won’t ever be offered as a standalone EV . The powertrain gives it the now expected blend of fun and frugality, tapping on the batteries to boost acceleration and capable of shutting off the engine altogether for around 38 miles of zero-emission motoring.

Although the lights and grille make a break from the norm, front and rear, the way the sculpted, muscular flanks meet in the middle of the car feels a bit unresolved – it’s more Miami beach than the macho American Midwest image conjured up by its name.
Hyundai’s well-earned reputation for reliability and dependability is encapsulated in the Tucson’s robust package. This is a machine that must win favour all over the world, from suburban USA to high-rise Asian megacities. It’s hard to fault such a broad set of capabilities. §
