Hyundai Tucson Berea, KY

Hyundai Tucson models at Gates Hyundai, serving Berea, Kentucky

A Compact SUV Sized for Daily Life and Long Weekends

The Hyundai Tucson has become one of the most useful compact SUVs on the road, and drivers near Berea, KY, tend to say the same thing after a test drive. It feels roomier than it looks from the curb. At Gates Hyundai, we keep the full Tucson lineup on hand, from the straightforward SE to the leather-lined Limited.

  • A 2.5-liter four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic deliver up to 33 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive.
  • Six trims spread the feature list across a wide price range, so you can spend where it matters to you.
  • A 12.3-inch touchscreen and Hyundai SmartSense driver aids come standard on every single version.

Our family has been selling cars since 1915, and we are now in the fourth generation of the business. What has not changed is how we sell them. No pressure, no gimmicks, no rushing you toward a decision before you have driven the thing.

Steady Power and Fuel Economy That Holds Up on the Interstate

Under the hood sits a 2.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 187 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on all six trims, and HTRAC all-wheel drive is available on each of them if winter mornings are a concern. Drive Mode Select lets you switch between Normal, Sport, and My Drive settings, and all-wheel-drive models add a Snow mode.

Front-wheel-drive versions carry EPA estimates of 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. All-wheel-drive versions come in at 24 city and 30 highway. Either way, the 14.3-gallon tank stretches a long way on a run up I-75. When a trailer is involved, the Tucson handles up to 2,750 pounds with trailer brakes or 1,650 pounds without, and trailer pre-wiring is standard on every trim.

Big Screens with a Short Learning Curve

A 12.3-inch color touchscreen is standard across the board, which is unusual in this class. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto pair without a cable, and the software accepts over-the-air updates, so the system gets better while the SUV sits in your driveway. Two USB-C ports up front and two more for second-row passengers keep phones charged on road trips.

Higher trims swap the 4.2-inch gauge cluster for a 12.3-inch digital display, and the SEL Premium and Limited both add onboard navigation and wireless charging. The Limited layers on Bose premium audio, a 12-inch head-up display, a heated steering wheel, and a fingerprint scanner that can start the engine. Browse the lineup online to see how the screens differ from one trim to the next.

Standard Safety Gear and Room for Five

Hyundai SmartSense is not a package you have to hunt for here. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction turning detection is standard, along with Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Safe Exit Warning. The SEL Premium and Limited add Highway Driving Assist and Smart Cruise Control 2 with navigation-based curve control, which considerably softens long highway stretches.

Space is the other reason families land on this SUV. Front passengers get 41.4 inches of legroom, and those in the back get 41.3 inches, a rare setup where the second row is nearly as generous as the first. Cargo room measures 38.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 74.8 cubic feet with them folded, and a dual-level cargo floor helps keep groceries from sliding around. Every trim from the SEL up includes a hands-free liftgate that opens when you stand behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find a Hyundai Tucson near me?

Gates Hyundai carries the full Hyundai Tucson lineup, including the SE, SEL, SEL Plus, XRT, SEL Premium, and Limited trims. We serve drivers near Berea, KY, and reaching us is a quick trip up I-75. Browse online first if you want to check on a specific trim or color before you drive over.

How much can the Tucson tow?

The Tucson is rated to tow up to 2,750 pounds with a trailer that has its own brakes, or 1,650 pounds without them. Trailer pre-wiring is standard on every trim, and the XRT includes a tow hitch from the factory. That covers a small utility trailer, a pair of personal boats, or a lightweight camper.

What gas mileage does the Tucson get?

With front-wheel drive, the Tucson carries EPA estimates of 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. Adding HTRAC all-wheel drive shifts those figures to 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Both setups share a 14.3-gallon tank, so long trips take fewer fuel stops than many shoppers expect from an SUV this size.

Which Tucson trims offer all-wheel drive?

HTRAC all-wheel drive is available on all six trims, from the SE through the Limited, and front-wheel drive comes standard on each one. The XRT pairs its available AWD with a Terrain Mode selector built for snow, mud, and sand. Tell us how you drive, and we will point you toward the setup that fits.

Is there a hybrid version of the Tucson?

Yes. Hyundai builds a Tucson Hybrid and a Tucson Plug-in Hybrid alongside the gas model, and both pair a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with an electric motor. The hybrid produces 231 combined horsepower and is offered with front-wheel drive or HTRAC all-wheel drive, while the plug-in makes 268 horsepower with all-wheel drive. We are happy to walk you through how each one compares to the gas version.

What warranty comes with a new Tucson?

Every new Hyundai Tucson includes a 5-year or 60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and a 10-year or 100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty for the original owner. Anti-perforation coverage runs 7 years with unlimited miles, and roadside assistance lasts 5 years with unlimited miles. Our certified technicians handle warranty and recall work right here.

Can I trade in my current vehicle at Gates Hyundai?

Yes, and you can value your trade on our website before you ever visit. Our team confirms that number in person once we look the vehicle over, and any equity can go straight toward your down payment. We appraise any make or model, whatever you are driving today.
