What Are the Hyundai Tucson Trim Levels?

Choosing the right compact SUV often comes down to finding a balance between comfort, technology, and daily practicality. The Hyundai Tucson is known for offering several trims that let drivers pick the features that matter most to them, without paying for what they do not need. Each Hyundai Tucson trim uses the same 187-horsepower 2.5L GDI/MPI 4-cylinder engine, paired with either front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. The fuel economy is also consistent across the lineup, with FWD models rated at 28 combined MPG and AWD models at 26 combined MPG. From the practical SE to the premium Limited, each trim builds on the same reliable base. Whether you are commuting or running family errands around O’Fallon, IL, this guide breaks down the Tucson lineup so you can shop with confidence.
