Hybrid or diesel Tucson?

2021 hybrid or diesel tuscon. Wanting to order for January but undecided which to go for as I'm only used to manual.

Our answer:

Hi Maggie,

We've not had a chance to test the new Tucson as yet, but we can say that a diesel engine is best-suited to regular long journeys and high average annual mileages. If you do in excess of 20,000km a year, and most of that is at motorway-like speed, then diesel is the way to go. Otherwise, we'd suggest that the hybrid model could work out cheaper in the long run, when you take maintenance into consideration.

Whatever your driving profile, insist on getting a test drive in both models before you decide.
