2023 Hyundai Tucson price and specs

The majority of the Hyundai Tucson line-up has received a range of connectivity features for the 2023 model year.

UPDATE, 07/05/2023 – We’ve updated this article with the latest prices.

Hyundai Tucson Elite and Highlander variants now receive a complimentary five-year subscription to the company’s Bluelink connected services suite.

After increasing prices by $500 earlier this year across all bar the base model, Hyundai Australia is further increasing Tucson prices by $250 effective from June 1.

“Effective 1 April and 1 June 2023, HMCA regrettably will be applying a MLP increase that impacts a range of Hyundai models,” said a company spokesperson.

“This increase has been driven by exchange rate pressures and rising logistics costs.”

If customers have an existing order and take delivery after June 1, they’ll need to pay the higher price as Hyundai Australia isn’t price-protecting.

Following the larger Palisade and smaller Venue SUVs, the mid-sized Tucson has received services like automatic collision notification, SOS emergency calling and natural voice control in all bar the base model.

Other features include cloud-based navigation, weather and voice recognition, as well as the ability to send a destination to the car via the Hyundai Bluelink smartphone app.

You can also use the app to remotely check the vehicle’s status and location and lock, unlock and start the car, as well as adjust climate control settings.

Beyond the addition of these connectivity features, all other features and specifications for the Hyundai Tucson line-up are unchanged from the 2022 model year.

The 2023 Hyundai Tucson range starts at $34,900 before on-road costs for the entry-level Tucson, and now extends to $52,900 before on-roads for the Highlander 2.0TD AWD.

During 2022 Hyundai sold a total of 17,870 Tucson models. It was outsold by the Toyota RAV4 (34,845 sales), Mazda CX-5 (27,062 sales), Mitsubishi Outlander (19,546 sales), and Kia Sportage (18,792 sales).

The Tucson did, however, outsell models such as the Subaru Forester (10,637 sales), Honda CR-V (8123 sales), and GWM Haval H6 (7009 sales).
