Used 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is available in eight trim levels with three engines offered. Four trim levels — SE, SEL, N Line, XRT and Limited — feature the conventional gasoline engine. The hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) are offered in three trims: Blue Hybrid, SEL Convenience Hybrid and Limited Hybrid. While the standard gasoline engine can be had with front- or all-wheel drive and uses an eight-speed automatic, the hybrids come standard with all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Available engines:

  • 2.5-liter four-cylinder (187 horsepower)
  • Hybrid with a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (227 total hp)
  • Plug-in hybrid with a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (261 total hp)

SE
Starts you off with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity (with wireless connectivity)
  • Six-speaker audio system

The SE also comes with advanced driver aids such as:

  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Tucson back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Rear-seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle)

SEL
Adds luxury and tech features, such as:

  • Roof rails
  • Tinted rear windows
  • Proximity keyless entry with push-button start
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Rear passenger vents
  • Heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals
  • Two USB outlets for rear passengers
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Hyundai and the car in front)

Convenience package
Available on with the SEL trim:

  • Hands-free liftgate
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Sunroof
  • Digital instrument panel
  • Wireless device charging pad
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Auto-dimming interior rearview mirror
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
  • Dual-zone climate control

Premium package
Adds to the Convenience package with:

  • Leather seating surfaces
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Bose premium audio system
  • Dark gray grille with unique LED lighting

N Line
Similar to the SEL with Convenience package (and nixes the sunroof) but adds sporty touches, such as:

  • Special 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Unique exterior and interior trim
  • Sport front seats
  • Bose premium audio system

XRT
The off-road-themed XRT starts with SEL with Convenience package features (minus the sunroof), plus:

  • 19-inch black-painted wheels
  • Unique bumpers
  • Black exterior accents
  • Side steps
  • Roof rails
  • Tow hitch

Limited
Builds off the SEL with Convenience and Premium packages, adding:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Dark chrome exterior trim
  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Paddle shifters
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Heated rear seats
  • 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation
  • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Tucson and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

For the Tucson Hybrid, the Blue Hybrid trim level is essentially the same as the SEL trim. The SEL Convenience trim level largely matches the non-hybrid SEL fitted with the Convenience package. Finally, the Limited Hybrid trim is similarly equipped as the standard Limited trim.

Which Tucson trim does Edmunds recommend?

The best value comes from the SEL trim. It gets you some desirable extras, such as blind-spot monitoring, over the base SE trim and still keeps the cost low. You can also customize it with a couple of extra option packages if you want. For the Tucson Hybrid, the Blue Hybrid is the SEL's equivalent.
