2026 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Economy by Drivetrain
Front-wheel-drive 2026 Hyundai Tucson models carry an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. With a 14.3-gallon fuel tank, that translates to a realistic range of roughly 400 miles per tank.
All-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 24 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined, for an estimated range of about 372 miles per tank. The difference comes down to the added weight and mechanical friction of the AWD system's rear axle, transfer case, and driveshaft, a small tradeoff for stronger traction in wet or uneven conditions.
- 14.3-gallon fuel tank
- Estimated range of 400 miles (FWD) or 372 miles (AWD)
- FWD: 25 city / 33 highway / 28 combined mpg
- AWD: 24 city / 30 highway / 26 combined mpg
