2022 Hyundai Tucson hybrid and plug-in hybrid ruled out for Australia – for now

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson hybrid and plug-in hybrid won't come to Australia, the brand has confirmed – despite rapidly-growing sales of its closest rival, the strong-selling Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. A Hyundai Australia spokesperson told CarAdvice both the hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions of the new Tucson mid-size SUV won't be offered in Australia, thanks to European-only right-hand-drive production that would make them exceedingly expensive versus their rivals Down Under.
