SUVs are great options for drivers looking to travel long distances. That's why you need to find one with impressive gas mileage. St. Charles, St. Louis, O'Fallon, and Saint Peters, Missouri, drivers interested in conserving fuel will enjoy the 2023 Hyundai Tucson, which achieves an EPA-estimated 25 city/32 highway MPG rating! *
The team at St. Charles Hyundai has taken a detailed look at what makes this SUV so efficient. Read below to learn more about the fuel-efficient engine and advanced features that help keep this SUV as economical as possible.
The 2023 Tucson offers five available trim levels to choose from! Isn’t it nice to have the power of choice? You’ll be even more elated to know just how fuel efficient each option is. Let’s break their fuel economies down by trim level.
The Hyundai Tucson SE, SEL, XRT, N Line, and Limited trims with front-wheel drive achieve an EPA-estimated 25 city/32 highway MPG rating.* If you opt for a Tucson with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, this SUV achieves an EPA-estimated 23 city/28 highway MPG.* We’ll let the numbers speak for themselves on this one.
One of the most important aspects of a vehicle's gas mileage is its engine. A good engine will gently sip fuel so that you can drive longer. Therefore, creating smaller engines and utilizing a direct-injection system will make for a great ride.
The 2023 Hyundai Tucson comes standard with a 2.5L Inline 4-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, you can accomplish a very high driving range. The vehicle’s standard front-wheel drive system helps you climb hills and enjoy peak efficiency. Those who want a little more stability on the road should choose an HTRAC All-Wheel Drive model.
Idle Stop & Go (ISG) comes standard on this Hyundai SUV. This energy-saving automatically shuts off the engine when you’re idling, such as when you’re stopped at a red light. When you remove your foot from the brake, your engine will kick in. The result? Less fuel consumption!
Achieving high fuel efficiency doesn't have to only be from intricate internal parts. By using an aerodynamic body, the 2023 Tucson allows air to simply roll over it. The smart exterior design makes this vehicle sporty and attractive, and it also makes it much more economical.
With an aerodynamic body, this SUV reduces the amount of work performed by the engine. In a less aerodynamic vehicle, the engine would have to fight the wind by generating more power. Therefore, it would have to use more fuel.
An aerodynamic build doesn't just give drivers the ability to save their gas. The body of the Tucson allows it to move easily while accelerating. This means while you conserve fuel, you can also enjoy more reliable handling and higher speeds. With the fuel-efficient design of this SUV, every aspect of it is made sportier and more responsive.
Want to preserve your Hyundai Tucson’s fuel economy? We have a few tips and tricks that you can take with you on the road and put into practice. Plus, we have a few ways to prepare your vehicle for better fuel consumption. Ready to dig in?
Did you know that underinflated tires have a higher rolling resistance? With every mile you drive, your car will produce more friction and rolling resistance, thus increasing fuel consumption.
So, whenever you notice your car’s tire light is on, visit your local air pump to fill up your tires.
The trunk of your car is a useful storage compartment for all you’ve got going on in life. While gym bags, golf clubs, beach chairs, and backpacks fit nicely in the trunk, they shouldn’t be there forever! In fact, the more your vehicle weighs, the more your vehicle will consume fuel.
To improve efficiency, take down the cargo box from the roof and remove any necessary weight.
How you drive matters, especially when it comes to fuel economy. When the light turns green, make sure you’re steadily accelerating. The same goes for braking. It’s best to avoid harsh braking that will cause you to rev up your engine again. Rule of thumb: keep your ride smooth as butter.
If you’re taking a long-distance trip and want to take the edge off, use cruise control. This feature will maintain a set speed for you, so you can focus on the drive ahead and keep fuel consumption at bay.
One of the best ways to optimize fuel efficiency is to adjust your driving behaviors and plan ahead. Take pulling up at a red light, for instance. Instead of slamming on your brakes, slow down well before the stopping line. If a hill is in your path, start accelerating before you approach it to avoid overconsumption.
If you often commute during rush hour, you know the trials of stop-and-go traffic. This type of traffic also puts a lot of pressure on your engine! If possible, try to leave at any earlier time to avoid the rush or find an alternative route that avoids consistent stop-and-go.
An easy step you can take to improve your vehicle’s efficiency is taking it in for routine maintenance when required. Oil changes especially will help you keep your car’s engine sludge-free, which will maintain its performance and fuel economy.
When you want to make traveling long distances nice and easy, it's important to have an economical vehicle. Drivers in the St. Charles, St. Louis, O'Fallon, and Saint Peters, MO, areas will likely find plenty of driving range and utility in the 2023 Hyundai Tucson.
