Under the hood, the Hyundai Tucson offers a diverse range of powertrains. Available options include Diesel MHEV, Petrol MHEV, Full Hybrid, and Plugin Hybrid configurations.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, the choice between the Hyundai Tucson and Jeep Renegade comes down to priorities. If your preference is for a vehicle with flexible powertrain options, slightly more interior space, and considerable trunk capacity, the Tucson emerges as a potent contender.
