Meet the 2026 Hyundai Tucson at Gettel Hyundai of Lakewood

If you’re in the market for a compact SUV that balances comfort, confidence, and capability, the 2026 Hyundai Tucson at Gettel Hyundai of Lakewood in Lakewood Ranch, FL, deserves your attention. Refreshed and refined for the new model year, the Tucson stands out with a bold exterior, a thoughtful interior, and Hyundai’s latest safety and tech innovations.

The 2026 Tucson offers five gas-powered trims: SE, SEL, SEL Premium, XRT, and Limited. Whether you’re upgrading from a sedan like the Hyundai Elantra or switching from a larger SUV like the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Tucson bridges everyday practicality with upscale versatility. Competitors like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue might share the segment, but few offer the combination of price, features, and powertrain options you’ll find in a Tucson. You can also opt for hybrid models if fuel economy and efficiency are top priorities.

Interior: Spacious Cargo

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson interior is a comfortable space built to keep up with busy routines. It seats up to five people and offers generous legroom for both front and rear passengers at 41.4 inches in the front and 41.3 inches in the rear. This is more than enough for daily commutes or weekend escapes. The 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks recline for added comfort, and cargo is no issue thanks to the spacious 41.2 cubic feet behind the second row, or 80.3 cubic feet with the seats folded.

Parents will appreciate two full LATCH connectors and a tether anchor for car seats. A dual-level cargo floor, available ambient lighting, and heated and ventilated seats take this compact SUV up a notch in practicality and style.

Interior Highlights Include:

• Cloth, H-Tex®, or Leather-Trimmed Seating
• Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control (Available)
• Six-Way Manual or Available Eight-Way Power Driver’s Seat
• Reclining Rear Seatbacks With 60/40 Split
• Heated Front and Rear Seats (Available)

Additional available features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power front passenger seat, memory settings, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, dual rear-seat air vents, and a leather-wrapped shift knob.

Exterior: Confidence that Shows

Bold and sharp, the 2026 Tucson delivers strong curb appeal without trying too hard. Its sculpted side panels, angular front fascia, and integrated LED daytime running lights leave a lasting impression. A hands-free smart liftgate, roof rails, and a choice of wheels from 17 to 19 inches across trims keep things functional yet stylish. The rugged XRT trim enhances capability with 18-inch alloy wheels, black cladding, and side steps for a more adventurous look.

Available Exterior Colors:

• Serenity White Pearl
• Phantom Black
• Shimmering Silver
• Atlantis Blue
• Ecotronic Gray
• Rockwood Green

Higher trims also unlock Hampton Gray and Ultimate Red for even more flair.

Performance: Every Drive Feels Just Right

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson offers a confident driving experience. Under the hood, every gas-powered model features a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine pushing out 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but Hyundai’s HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system is available for added traction and stability on wet or uneven roads.

Whether you’re cruising across Lakewood Ranch or taking a weekend trip to the beach, the Tucson’s smooth ride, composed handling, and quiet cabin elevate every journey. Snow Mode is included with AWD-equipped models, and three other drive modes, Normal, Sport, and My Drive, let you customize performance to your preferences.

Fuel economy delivers up to a manufacturer-estimated 30 highway mpg with AWD. That means fewer stops and more time spent doing what you love.
