2026 Hyundai Tucson Trims, Prices and Specs in Kalispell, MT
Every 2026 Tucson trim in one place: gas, Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid, with side-by-side tables so you can find the right compact SUV for the Flathead Valley before you visit Clark Hyundai.
Hyundai's best-selling SUV, built for Montana roads
The 2026 Hyundai Tucson is the most varied lineup Hyundai has ever offered in a compact SUV. Shoppers in Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls and Bigfork can choose from six gasoline trims, seven Hybrid trims and two Plug-in Hybrid trims, with starting prices running from $29,450 for the Tucson SE to $48,550 for the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid Limited.
That range is good news for Northwest Montana drivers. Whether you need an affordable commuter for the trip down US-93, a fuel-sipping hybrid for long runs to Missoula, or a tow-ready XRT for weekends at Flathead Lake, there's a Tucson configured for the way you live. HTRAC all-wheel drive is available across the lineup and standard on many trims, which matters when winter arrives on Highway 2 and the roads up to Whitefish Mountain Resort.
Below, the Clark Hyundai team breaks down every 2026 Tucson trim with pricing, powertrain data, capability numbers and the features that separate one model from the next.

2026 Tucson powertrain and fuel economy comparison
Three distinct powertrains are available. The gas Tucson uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder for straightforward, affordable ownership. The Tucson Hybrid adds an electric motor to a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine for more power and much better mileage. The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid adds a larger battery so you can cover most daily driving on electricity alone and still take a road trip without a charger.
| Specification | Tucson (gas) | Tucson Hybrid | Tucson Plug-in Hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 2.5L 4-cylinder | 1.6L turbo 4-cylinder + electric motor | 1.6L turbo 4-cylinder + electric motor |
| Horsepower | 187 hp | 231 hp combined | 268 hp combined |
| Torque | 178 lb-ft | Turbo plus instant electric torque | Turbo plus instant electric torque |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic | Automatic with SHIFTRONIC | Automatic with SHIFTRONIC |
| Drivetrain | FWD or HTRAC AWD | FWD or HTRAC AWD | HTRAC AWD standard |
| EPA combined mpg | Up to 28 mpg (FWD), 26 mpg (AWD) | Up to 38 mpg (Blue SE), 36 mpg others | 35 mpg combined in hybrid mode |
| Electric-only range | N/A | N/A | Up to 32 miles |
| Max towing (with trailer brakes) | 2,750 lbs | 2,000 lbs | 2,000 lbs |
EPA estimates for comparison only. Actual mileage varies with driving conditions, temperature, terrain and vehicle condition. Winter temperatures in Northwest Montana can reduce electric range on plug-in hybrids.
2026 Hyundai Tucson gas trims explained
Every gas Tucson shares the same 187-horsepower engine and 8-speed automatic, so the difference between trims comes down to equipment, comfort and style. That makes it easier to choose: pick the features you'll use every day and skip the ones you won't.
Tucson SE
From $29,450The SE is far from a stripped-down base model. It comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluelink+ connected services, LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. Hyundai SmartSense safety technology, including Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Safe Exit Warning, is standard. It's a smart pick for Kalispell commuters and first-time SUV buyers.
Tucson SEL
From $30,800For about $1,350 more than the SE, the SEL adds the features Montana drivers tend to appreciate most: heated front seats, heated side mirrors, dual automatic temperature control, a power-adjustable driver's seat, 18-inch alloy wheels and a hands-free smart liftgate. On a January morning in Columbia Falls, those heated seats earn their keep fast.
Tucson SEL Plus
From $31,300New to the 2026 lineup, the SEL Plus builds on the SEL with larger 19-inch alloy wheels and H-Tex seating surfaces that wipe clean after a muddy trailhead or a day on the slopes at Whitefish. It's a small step up in price for a more upscale look and easier-care cabin.
Tucson XRT
From $33,475The XRT is the adventure-ready Tucson. It adds a factory tow hitch, exclusive 18-inch wheels, black lower fascias and body cladding, LED taillights, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and ambient lighting. New for 2026, Terrain Mode offers mud, snow and sand settings that adjust traction and throttle response, a natural fit for gravel Forest Service roads around Hungry Horse and the North Fork.
Tucson SEL Premium
From $33,800Priced close to the XRT, the SEL Premium spends its budget on convenience instead of ruggedness. Highlights include built-in navigation, Hyundai Digital Key 2 so your phone can work as your key, wireless device charging, a power sunroof, an auto-dimming mirror and Smart Cruise Control 2. It also gets the digital cluster and ambient lighting.
Tucson Limited
From $39,425The Limited is the luxury-level gas Tucson. It adds leather-trimmed seats with ventilated fronts, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, Bose premium audio, a head-up display, Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Remote Smart Parking Assist, memory seating and projector LED headlights that improve visibility on dark rural highways like MT-35 along the east shore of Flathead Lake.
2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid trims
Hyundai expanded the Tucson Hybrid lineup for 2026, and it may be the best value in the entire Tucson family. The hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor for 231 combined horsepower, 44 more than the gas model, while returning up to 38 mpg combined.
Here's the math that matters for Flathead Valley drivers who want all-wheel drive: a gas Tucson SE with HTRAC AWD starts around $30,950, while the Tucson Hybrid Blue SE starts at $32,450 with HTRAC AWD standard. For roughly $1,500 more, you gain significant horsepower and about 12 more miles per gallon combined. For anyone driving between Kalispell, Missoula and Glacier National Park every week, that difference adds up quickly at the pump.
Every Tucson Hybrid is backed by Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile hybrid battery warranty.
| Hybrid trim | Drivetrain | Starting MSRP | EPA combined | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid SE | FWD | $30,950 | See window sticker | Lowest-cost entry into hybrid ownership |
| Hybrid SEL | FWD | $32,400 | See window sticker | Hybrid efficiency with SEL comfort features |
| Hybrid Blue SE | HTRAC AWD | $32,450 | 38 mpg | Maximum mileage with all-weather traction |
| Hybrid SEL | HTRAC AWD | $33,900 | 36 mpg | Balanced features and AWD |
| Hybrid SEL Convenience | HTRAC AWD | $34,900 | 36 mpg | More tech without the Limited price |
| Hybrid Limited | HTRAC AWD | $42,075 | 36 mpg | Full luxury with hybrid efficiency |
| Hybrid Night | HTRAC AWD | $42,575 | 36 mpg | Limited features with blacked-out styling |
New for 2026: Tucson Hybrid Night
The Tucson Hybrid Night builds on the fully equipped Limited trim and gives it a stealthy look. It adds gloss-black 19-inch alloy wheels, gloss-black front and rear bumper elements, black mirror caps, gloss-black window-surround trim and a black headliner. Exterior colors include Ash Black, Creamy White Pearl and Ecotronic Gray. Like the Limited, it includes leather-trimmed seating, navigation, a head-up display, Bose premium audio, a heated steering wheel and wireless charging.
2026 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid trims
The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is the most powerful Tucson you can buy, with 268 combined horsepower and standard HTRAC all-wheel drive. Its larger battery delivers an EPA-estimated 32 miles of all-electric range, then the vehicle operates as a conventional hybrid at about 35 mpg combined, so there's no range anxiety on a trip to Libby or Eureka.
The plug-in makes the most sense for drivers with a short daily commute who can charge at home overnight. If your round trip from Somers or Evergreen into downtown Kalispell stays under about 30 miles, you could run on electricity for most weekday driving. Keep in mind that cold Montana winters reduce battery range, so plan for less electric-only distance from December through February.
| Plug-in Hybrid trim | Starting MSRP | Electric range | Combined output | Key equipment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in Hybrid SEL | $40,325 | Up to 32 miles | 268 hp | HTRAC AWD, heated seats, smart liftgate, 12.3-in touchscreen |
| Plug-in Hybrid Limited | $48,550 | Up to 32 miles | 268 hp | Leather, panoramic sunroof, Bose audio, Surround View Monitor, head-up display |
Tucson dimensions, cargo space and capability
The Tucson remains one of the roomiest compact SUVs in its class, with generous rear-seat legroom and a cargo area large enough for ski bags, camping gear or a week of groceries from town. Here are the key capability figures Montana shoppers ask about most.
| Measurement | Gas and Hybrid | Plug-in Hybrid |
|---|---|---|
| Seating capacity | 5 | 5 |
| Cargo behind rear seat | About 38.7 cu ft | About 31.9 cu ft |
| Max cargo, rear seat folded | About 74.8 cu ft | About 66.3 cu ft |
| Max towing (with trailer brakes) | 2,750 lbs gas / 2,000 lbs Hybrid | 2,000 lbs |
| All-wheel drive | HTRAC available or standard by trim | HTRAC standard |
| New vehicle limited warranty | 5 years / 60,000 miles | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
| Powertrain limited warranty | 10 years / 100,000 miles | 10 years / 100,000 miles |

Safety ratings
The 2026 Hyundai Tucson earned a TOP SAFETY PICK+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and NHTSA gives it a five-star overall safety rating in both front- and all-wheel-drive form. Hyundai SmartSense is standard on every trim, with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, Driver Attention Warning and Safe Exit Warning. Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist, Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor.
Which 2026 Tucson is right for Northwest Montana?
Driving in the Flathead Valley asks a lot of a vehicle: snow-packed mornings, gravel roads to trailheads, highway miles to Missoula and Spokane, and summer trips loaded with kayaks and camping gear. Here's how we'd match the 2026 Tucson lineup to local drivers.
Best value on gas: the Tucson SEL with HTRAC AWD. Heated seats, dual-zone climate and a hands-free liftgate cover the daily essentials for less money.
Best for high-mileage drivers: the Tucson Hybrid Blue SE. Standard AWD and up to 38 mpg make it the smartest choice if you're regularly driving to Glacier, Polson or Missoula.
Best for towing and trails: the Tucson XRT. The factory hitch, 2,750-pound tow rating and new Terrain Mode suit small campers, utility trailers and rough access roads.
Best for dark highways and long winters: the Tucson Limited or Hybrid Limited. The heated steering wheel, heated rear seats and projector LED headlights make long, cold nights far more comfortable.
Best for short commutes with home charging: the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid SEL, which can handle most in-town driving on electricity.
