Shopping for Hyundai hybrid SUVs in Indianapolis, IN? At Ray Skillman Hyundai West, we carry the complete lineup of Hyundai’s gas-electric SUVs, from the efficient Tucson Hybrid to the spacious, three-row Palisade Hybrid. Whatever your daily drive looks like, there’s a Hyundai hybrid built to make every mile count.
The lineup covers a wide range of sizes and priorities, from compact crossovers to full three-row family haulers. What connects every model is a commitment to strong fuel savings without asking you to sacrifice space, comfort, or driving confidence. All four models also come backed by Hyundai’s America’s Best Warranty, with 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage that extends to hybrid components.
| Model | Type | System Output | Est. Fuel Economy | Drivetrain | Seating | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tucson Hybrid | Parallel Hybrid | 231 hp combined | Up to 38 mpg combined (Blue trim); 35 mpg combined (all other trims) | Standard HTRAC AWD | 5 passengers | Commuters and small families who want peak efficiency with AWD already included |
| Tucson Plug-In Hybrid | Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) | 268 hp combined | Up to 32 mi all-electric range; ~35 mpg combined in hybrid mode | Standard HTRAC AWD | 5 passengers | Short-commute drivers with home charging who want mostly electric daily driving |
| Santa Fe Hybrid | Parallel Hybrid | 231 hp combined | 36 mpg city / 35 mpg hwy (FWD); 35 mpg city / 34 mpg hwy (AWD) | FWD standard; AWD available | Up to 7 passengers (3 rows standard) | Families who need three rows without giving up fuel savings |
| Palisade Hybrid | Parallel Hybrid | 329 hp combined | Up to 34 mpg combined (FWD); 29 mpg combined (AWD) | FWD standard; AWD available | Up to 8 passengers (3 rows standard) | Large families who need maximum space, power, and improved efficiency |
The Tucson Hybrid pairs a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, delivering 231 combined horsepower. HTRAC all-wheel drive is standard on every trim at no extra cost, which is uncommon in the compact hybrid segment and a genuine advantage for Indiana winters and unpredictable roads.
Fuel economy reaches 35 mpg combined on most trims, with the Blue trim achieving 38 mpg combined. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, dual 12.3-inch screens are available on upper trims, and up to 38.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat handles everyday hauling with ease.
The Tucson Plug-In Hybrid adds a 13.8 kWh battery that supports up to 32 miles of all-electric driving. Total system output climbs to 268 combined horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, HTRAC AWD comes standard, and the battery charges at home overnight on a standard outlet.
When the battery runs down, the system transitions smoothly into hybrid mode and achieves around 35 mpg combined. For drivers who can charge regularly at home and want the efficiency of mostly-electric daily driving with a hybrid backup for longer trips, this combination is tough to match.
The Santa Fe Hybrid uses the same turbocharged 1.6-liter hybrid powertrain producing 231 combined horsepower, but it’s built around families who need more room. Three-row seating comes standard, with space for up to seven passengers, and the dual 12.3-inch screen setup gives the cabin a polished look that’s rare at this price point.
Front-wheel-drive models achieve an EPA-estimated 36 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, among the best fuel economy numbers for a three-row SUV. Hyundai’s SmartSense safety suite is standard on every trim, covering forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
The Palisade Hybrid runs a 2.5-liter turbocharged hybrid system producing 329 combined horsepower and 399 pound-feet of torque, making it the most capable model in the lineup by a clear margin. A 4,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped adds practical utility for drivers who haul a trailer or boat on weekends.
Front-wheel-drive SEL and SEL Premium trims achieve an EPA-estimated 34 mpg combined, a meaningful improvement over the gas-only version. Three rows seat up to eight, and upper trims add wireless Apple CarPlay, a panoramic sunroof, and available Bose audio. For large families who need maximum space without giving up hybrid efficiency, this is the model that delivers.
The right model depends on how you drive and what your daily life requires. Commuters and small families who want top efficiency with AWD already included will find the Tucson Hybrid hard to beat. If you charge at home and your commute is short, the Tucson PHEV can dramatically cut your fuel costs. Need three rows without the fuel bill of a traditional family SUV? The Santa Fe Hybrid hits that mark well. For large families who want space, serious power, and a meaningful bump in efficiency over a gas-only full-size SUV, the Palisade Hybrid brings all of that together in one vehicle.
We carry the full lineup at Ray Skillman Hyundai West, including the Tucson Hybrid, Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, Santa Fe Hybrid, and Palisade Hybrid. Each model offers a different balance of size, efficiency, and capability to suit different lifestyles and budgets. Our team can help you compare trims and find the right fit.
Yes, HTRAC all-wheel drive is standard on every Tucson Hybrid trim at no extra charge, which is uncommon in the compact hybrid SUV segment. This makes the Tucson Hybrid a strong pick for drivers who want confident traction year-round without paying extra for it. The Tucson Plug-In Hybrid also comes with standard HTRAC AWD.
The Tucson Plug-In Hybrid supports up to 32 miles of all-electric driving on a full charge. For drivers with shorter daily commutes, that means covering most weekday trips without touching the gas engine at all. When the battery runs down, the system shifts smoothly into hybrid mode and achieves around 35 mpg combined.
The Santa Fe Hybrid seats up to seven passengers across three standard rows. It is one of the few hybrid SUVs that pairs three-row capacity with strong fuel economy, achieving an EPA-estimated 36 mpg city with front-wheel drive. Hyundai’s SmartSense driver assistance suite also comes standard across all trims.
The Palisade Hybrid pairs the same three-row cabin with a 2.5-liter turbocharged hybrid system that produces 329 combined horsepower and delivers dramatically improved fuel economy compared to the gas-only version. It is more powerful and more efficient, and adds regenerative braking to capture energy during deceleration. For large families who drive frequently, it is the more practical long-term choice.
