2023 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Tgdi Phev 4X4A 1.6L Hybrid electric · MA23 DPX

As a plug-in hybrid, the running costs are heavily dependent on your ability to charge at home. The 1.6-litre TGDI engine is efficient, but fuel economy will drop if the battery is not utilised. Road tax for this vehicle is generally favourable due to its low CO2 emissions profile, though you should verify the current VED bracket for your specific usage.

Insurance for the Ultimate trim can be higher than base models due to the advanced safety features and repair costs associated with its technology. Budget for standard annual maintenance, keeping in mind that while the vehicle is currently reliable, hybrid-specific components may eventually require specialised servicing.

Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres. Even at 16,228 miles, the 4x4 system and hybrid torque can accelerate tyre wear; check the tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns across all four wheels.

Additionally, inspect the windscreen and wipers. The model data indicates these are common failure points for the Tucson range, so test the wipers for streaks or noise and check the glass for any chips or cracks that might have been missed or developed since the April 2026 test. Ensure all electronic parking brake functions operate smoothly, as brake-related issues are a known area of concern for this model.
