At Koons Woodbridge Hyundai, we can’t wait for the 2023 Tucson to arrive, and we expect drivers from Woodbridge and other areas of Virginia will be just as keen to see the new model. The Hyundai Tucson is one of the most popular small SUVs, and as it was fully redesigned for the 2022 model year, we’re not anticipating too many changes for the 2023 version. It will be available with a gasoline engine, a hybrid powertrain, or as a plug-in hybrid. So, here’s what you can expect for the new Tucson:

Distinctive Styling

After its redesign, the Tucson has a striking appearance that is sure to turn heads wherever you go. The bold grille is flanked by sleek LED headlights and cleverly concealed cascading LED daytime running lights. The profile features sharp creases and bulging fenders that give it an aggressive stance. At the rear, distinctive LED taillights set the Tucson apart from other SUVs.

Spacious Interior

The Tucson’s roomy cabin has an ultra-modern ambiance. With the available hoodless 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, the dash has a streamlined look that seems to create even more space. All the surfaces blend and flow to give the interior an uncluttered and airy feel, which is enhanced by the available panoramic sunroof.

This sophisticated SUV seats five people and offers 41.2 cubic feet of luggage space behind the 60/40-split rear seats. With the remote release second-row seats folded flat, you have an impressive 80.3-cubic-foot cargo area with a dual level floor. With the available hands-free power liftgate, you can easily access the cargo space, even with your hands full. The Tucson Hybrid has a slightly smaller cargo area of 74.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, while the plug-in hybrid has 66.3 cubic feet for your gear.

The Tucson offers plenty of space and comfort for everyone. Front seat passengers have a generous 40.1 inches of headroom and 41.4 inches of legroom, while those in the back have 39.5 inches and 41.3 inches of head and legroom respectively. In the Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, rear passengers have 39.5-inches of legroom.

Beautifully Appointed Cabin

Inside, the Tucson offers a wide array of standard and available features. The base SE trim has a remote keyless entry system, stylish stain-resistant fabric upholstery, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat, a reclining rear seat back, air conditioning, and a tilting and telescoping steering column. Helping keep your devices charged are two 12-volt power outlets in the front console and the cargo area.

In the SEL, you get proximity entry and push-button start, an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support, heated front seats, rear air vents, and front power windows with an auto up and down feature.

The sporty N Line adds unique black leather-trimmed cloth seats and red interior accents, dual-zone automatic temperature control with multi-air mode and auto defogger, a leather-bound steering wheel with the N logo, an exclusive N Line leather-bound shift knob, alloy pedals and scuff plates, an exclusive black headliner, and ambient lighting. The rugged XRT trim features cloth seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.

Stepping up to the top-of-the-line Limited model gets you leather upholstery, driver’s seat memory, an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a shift-by-wire gear-change system, and a voice-controlled HVAC system. You can set the mood with LED interior lighting and 64-color customizable ambient lighting.

Advanced Technology

In SE trim, the infotainment system features Bluetooth for hands-free calling and media streaming, dual front USB ports, and a sound system with HD radio. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay enables you and your passengers to seamlessly connect phones and other devices without the nuisance of cables. You can control the system via the 8-inch touch screen or the steering-wheel-mounted audio and Bluetooth controls. The SEL adds dual rear USB ports, Sirius XM satellite radio, BlueLink connected car service and care package, and the BlueLink remote package

The N Line trim and above feature a 10.25-inch customizable digital instrument cluster and a 15-watt wireless device charger with a built-in fan to keep your phone cool while it’s charging. N Line and Limited models also offer a premium Bose audio system. Additionally, standard for the top three Tucson trims is Hyundai Digital Key. You can use your smartphone to lock and unlock the doors, start your SUV’s engine, and more.

With the Limited trim, you get a 10.25-inch touch screen with navigation and traffic-flow display, wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, and the BlueLink guidance package. This model also features Remote Smart Park Assist, which allows you to move your Tucson in and out of tight parking spaces at the touch of a button without you even being in the car.

Safety Comes Standard in the Tucson

The Tucson offers standard safety features that come as extras on other SUVs. Helping you stay in control are features such as electronic stability control, traction control, vehicle stability management, and an anti-lock braking system with brake assist.

The Tucson also comes equipped with the Hyundai SmartSense suite of driver assistance technologies to help keep you safe on Virginia’s roads. The system includes forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, lane following assist, driver attention alert, and rear occupant alert. A standard rearview monitor with dynamic grid lines makes for easy parking.

SEL models add forward collision mitigation with cyclist and intersection turning detection, blind-spot collision avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision mitigation, and safe exit warning. Go with the N Line for ultrasonic rear occupant alert and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink.

The Limited trim additionally offers navigation based adaptive cruise control with curve control, a surround view monitor, a blind-spot view monitor, front and rear parking sensors, and reverse parking collision avoidance assist.
