2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Ultimate AWD The Electrified Eco-Luxury Flagship: 226 HP of High-Torque Turbo-Hybrid Punch Meets Continuous HTRAC AWD Tracking, State-of-the-Art Dual 10.25-inch Digital Tech, and First-Class Heated/Ventilated ComfortDecoding the Build: The Absolute Peak of Next-Gen ElectrificationThe 2022 model year introduces a historic, clean-sheet rewriting of a crossover legend, marking the official Canadian launch of the radically redesigned, fourth-generation (NX4) Hyundai Tucson. Moving lightyears away from the conservative styling of the past, this generation debuted Hyundai's striking "Sensuous Sportiness" design language—utilizing sharp geometric body creases, an ultra-rigid high-strength steel platform layout, and a heavily sound-insulated acoustic cabin envelope to challenge established European luxury vehicles.In our competitive Canadian automotive market, configuring the Hybrid (HEV) in the top-tier Ultimate trim represents the absolute crowning achievement of premium engineering. This flagship build throws out all packaging compromises. It skips the lower-power conventional engines of the Essential and Preferred lines, standardizing a high-output turbocharged hybrid system, an advanced active electronic safety matrix, and an opulent dual-row winter comfort fortress. Backed by standard HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, this range-topping hybrid delivery system provides a highly insulated, prestige-driven automotive asset custom-engineered to conquer icy provincial highways and rising fuel costs with total authority.Experience Planted Athleticism: 226 HP of Turbocharged Smartstream Hybrid MuscleIgnite your mountain chalet weekend retreats, prompt cross-province highway overtaking maneuvers, and silent urban intersection launches with the highly advanced 226 Combined System Horsepower 1.6L Smartstream Turbocharged Inline 4-Cylinder Hybrid Engine, the cutting-edge mechanical heartbeat powering this 2022 Tucson Ultimate. This advanced powertrain pairs a punchy 180 hp gasoline turbo engine with a high-torque 44.2 kW electric motor powered by a 1.49 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack. The result is a massive, immediate 258 lb-ft of combined system torque available right from a dead stop, delivering a linear, immediate velocity that completely flattens traditional throttle lag. Because it utilizes electric-assist energy, the engine block reaches operating temperature exceptionally fast on sub-zero Canadian winter mornings, ensuring rapid cabin heater core warming cycles.Power is managed by a sophisticated, smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission controlled via an elegant Electronic Push-Button Shift console matrix. Bypassing the rubbery, elastic slipping sensation common in traditional hybrid CVTs, this geared automatic maintains direct, crisp shift points for maximum driver engagement. Through the centralized console switch, drivers can instantly transition throttle and steering parameters across Eco, Sport, and Smart drive modes.What places this premium cruiser at the absolute pinnacle of severe-weather confidence is Hyundai's standard HTRAC Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. This high-tech proactive matrix reads wheel speeds and throttle inputs hundreds of times per second, dynamically controlling torque distribution between the front and rear axles. For deep snowdrifts, muddy cottage roads, or unplowed municipal side streets, shifting into the specialized Terrain Mode (Snow, Mud, Sand) optimizes torque delivery to eliminate tire spin on packed black ice. Underpinned by a sophisticated multi-link independent rear suspension, it manages an astonishing, wallet-friendly Canadian fuel economy rating of just 6.3 L/100 km city and 6.6 L/100 km highway, allowing you to log massive highway distances on regular 87-octane unleaded fuel.Your Intelligent Guardian: Flagship SmartSense™ Radar SurveillanceDrive with the unwavering peace of mind that comes from a high-rigidity structural safety cell, standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and a comprehensive multi-stage defensive airbag capsule—securing a pristine IIHS Top Safety Pick+ safety honor. The 2022 Ultimate acts as your highly vigilant co-pilot, standardizing the absolute pinnacle of Hyundai’s SmartSense™ active driver-assist suite to deploy: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Junction Turning Detection, providing autonomous emergency braking to actively prevent front-end impacts at busy city intersections. Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) & Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA), which projects a live, high-definition video feed of your hidden side lanes directly onto the instrument cluster when your turn signal is active, applying subtle braking corrections if you attempt to merge into a hidden vehicle. Highway Driving Assist (HDA) & Lane Following Assist (LFA), combining Adaptive Cruise Control with steering tracking to provide semi-autonomous highway driving that mitigates driver fatigue. Surround View Monitor (SVM), projecting a full 360-degree high-definition overhead view of the vehicle with moving object detection onto the center screen to make tight urban parking spaces entirely stress-free. Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA)—the ultimate tech flex—allowing you to use the factory key fob buttons from outside the vehicle to autonomously drive the Tucson straight forward or backward into tight parking spaces or ice-covered garage slots. The Executive Sanctuary: A Dual 10.25-inch Connected Tech LoungeStep past the heavy-duty weather seals to experience a beautifully quiet, acoustic-insulated digital sanctuary accented by premium brushed aluminum trim and customizable multi-colour LED ambient lighting. The driver's workspace is a technological masterpiece, defined by a clean, hoodless 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster conjoined with a prominent 10.25-inch high-definition color touchscreen infotainment display center featuring built-in factory GPS Navigation. This processing-fast tech hub features Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, a built-in Wireless Qi Charging Pad, dual front/rear high-speed USB data ports, and a premium 8-speaker BOSE® Premium Sound System to deliver concert-level acoustics across the cabin.Explicitly tailored to turn freezing Canadian sub-zero mornings into a first-class executive experience, the interior wraps up to five passengers in full, luxurious authentic leather seating surfaces, treating occupants to high-tier enhancements: Standard Multi-Stage Heated and Ventilated Front Seats featuring an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with a 2-position memory block. Standard Heated Rear Outboard Comfort Seats to keep your family or passengers warm through winter freezes. A standard Heated, Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel and a factory Remote Engine Start System with proximity smart key entry to pre-warm the block and cabin before stepping outside. A spectacular Panoramic Dual-Panel Glass Sunroof with an express open/close power sunshade that completely floods both rows of the premium layout with natural light. Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control featuring an advanced "Multi-Air Mode" slot array that diffuses airflow softly across the cabin instead of blowing harsh air directly at occupants.
