2023 Hyundai Tucson

Oct 24, 2022

The Hyundai 2023 Tucson is a five-seat crossover SUV, comparable to Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Ford Escape.
The Tucson offers strong technology upgrades, a comfortable and spacious interior, and plenty of safety features.
Pricing around $26,135, the 2023 Hyundai Tucson is for sale at Edmond Hyundai in Edmond, OK.

The 2023 Hyundai Tucson has a new striking exterior, with deep angles, “its angular body sets the Tucson on the path to stardom,” the Tucson has LED daytime running lights fair into its grille. Exhaust tips hidden in the rear bumper, and diamond shaped detailing tail lights.

The Interior has a gloss-black panel that rises between the front seats and hosts the infotainment touchscreen. The strip of air vents, metallic trim, and smattering of controls don’t do much to liven up the cockpit, but it all works well.

2023 Hyundai Tucson Performance

All wheel drive is offered on the Gas-only Tucson for $1500, while the base trim is front wheel drive. The Hybrid and plug-in Hybrid SUV come with all-wheel drive. Hybrids start with a 1.6-liter turbo-4 with 180 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, but add on a hybrid pack with batteries and an electric motor for a net of 226 hp. The Hybrid splits that power to all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic, which shifts readily.

The Tucsons have a good ride quality and light steering feel at mid-range and highway speeds. The Plug-in Hybrid gets another point for acceleration, as its suspension can handle more weight, and has immediate thrust. In sport mode, the Plug-In Hybrid grows more focused in its steering feel and its transmission clicks off shifts more quickly.

Comfort & Quality

The 2023 Tucson has plenty of cargo space, and comfortable front seats. The cabin has supportive, cloth-covered, manually adjustable front seats. The second row expanded giving 41.3 inches of legroom, the seats recline back for better comfort on long trips, and many Tucsons can be fitted with a panoramic glass sunroof. Behind those rear seatbacks, Hyundai’s carved out 38.7 cubic feet of storage space; it extracts 74.8 cubic feet when the rear seatbacks are folded down.

2023 Hyundai Tucson Safety

The Tucson has its standard automatic emergency braking system, active lane control, and rear occupant alerts all on the base trim, the IIHS gives the Tucson a Top safety pick award. When upgraded to Tucson SEL, the Tucson gains adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring. Limited models add rear automatic emergency braking, blind-spot cameras, front and rear parking sensors, and a surround-view camera system.

2023 Hyundai Tucson Features

The Tucson SEL with the available Convenience package goes for about $30,000 in 2022, this adds a powered sunroof, synthetic leather upholstery, wireless smartphone charging, a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a power tailgate. Add the hybrid powertrain with its standard all-wheel drive, and the price rises to at least $33,000.

The XRT and N Line now also get the 10.3-inch touchscreen that’s standard on the top models; so do the SEL Convenience and Limited Hybrids and all Plug-In Hybrids. However the bigger screen loses wireless CarPlay compatibility; so you’ll have to plug in to get the smartphone interface.

A fully loaded Hyundai Tucson Limited SUV with the 10.3-inch touchscreen, LED headlights, leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a surround-view camera system, and blind-spot camera, all goes for about $40,000. And the Limited Plug-In Hybrids can cost more than $45,000.

Fuel Economy

The currently most popular, gas-only version of the base engine, is pegged by the EPA at 26 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, 29 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, 24/29/26 mpg with all-wheel drive.

The Hybrids and plug-ins are significantly better, with hybrids rated at 38/38/38 mpg in Blue trim and 37/36/37 mpg in SEL Convenience and Limited guise. Plug-ins get 31 miles of all-electric driving, 35 mpg combined, and an 80-MPGe rating overall.

Our Hyundai cars for sale includes the Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Santa Cruz, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Ioniq 6, Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Kona, and the Hyundai Venue. Reach out to our dealership for a test drive today. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hyundai EV Plant Opening In Georgia by 2025

Aug 29, 2022

An all electric vehicle Hyundai production plant is set to start producing vehicles by 2025, using the Georgia Railroad.
To make this Hyundai Plant possible, there are a number of partnerships that have been created including the support from President Biden.
Support this new EV Plant by shopping at Edmond Hyundai in Edmond, OK.

Hyundai Auto Group has invested $5.4 million into opening its first electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturing plant in the United States. More specifically, this plant will be located in Bryan County in the Peach state. The plant will be possible by Genesee and Wyoming’s Georgia Central Railway. This exciting announcement was made this past May with the help of Georgia Governor, Brian P. Kemp, as well as executives from the Hyundai Motor Group, and state and local economic leaders. Construction of this EV plant is set to start in January of 2023. It will be up and running by 2025, producing a wide range of fully electric vehicles. This is just the beginning to this long awaited Hyundai investment, so keep reading to find out more!

Prime Location

The annual production and capacity of this plant is to range in 300,000 vehicles. Taking advantage of the Georgia Railroad, this plant would bring in enough materials to support this expected production rate. It will also push out the finished vehicles, making it the largest project in Georgia state history. The location of this world-class project plant is adjacent to Interstate 16 as well as having immediate access from I-95 and I-16 to over 200 major metropolitan areas.

It’s only 28 miles from the Port of Savannah which is another positive impact that will come along with this construction. It will create over 8,000 new jobs to the Savannah area. Being one of the world’s most successful and futuristic auto brands, Georgia officials say they are happy to be a part of this huge step for Hyundai Auto Group. They are proud to share the plans for this full EV and battery manufacturing plant. The specific details of their production schedule will be available at a later date.

Partnerships That Make This Possible

As you can probably imagine, some Georgians might not be as ecstatic about the increase in traffic. Rest assured that a lot of leaders, other business owners, and communities are taking these things into consideration. But they are overall excited about beginning this project and the economic boost it could provide. It not only would bring about job opportunities, but it would essentially put Georgia more “on the map”, as the saying goes.

Euisun Chung, Hyundai Motor Group’s Executive Chair expresses their excitement in partnering with the state of Georgia. Chung has also discussed the EV plant construction with President Joe Biden. They highlight the local economic development and Class 1 rail partners that will guarantee to meet customer needs as well as bring overall increased business to the area. Governor Kemp stated, “We are proud to welcome Hyundai Motor Group to Georgia as we forge an innovative future together. From initial conversations on my economic development mission to Korea to Georgia’s investment in the Bryan County Megasite, we’ve been preparing for an opportunity like this for a long time.”

Support Hyundai through Edmond Hyundai

If you don’t live close to where this EV plant is in Georgia, don’t worry. You can support the construction through us, Edmond Hyundai located in Edmond, Oklahoma. We’re a branch of Hyundai Auto Group which means we hold true to all things from a Hyundai Dealership.

Still not sure about us?

Texas Is Planning Charging Stations Along Interstates

Jul 29, 2022

Hyundai auto brand is working with the state of Texas to build a network of EV charging stations across the state.
The start of this construction will begin January 2023 and will take approximately 5 years according to their plan.
Electric Vehicles are for sale at Emond Hyundai in Oklahoma.

Picture this: you recently bought your first electric car and are taking it on a road trip. You, being a new EV owner, you misjudge how far you’re able to make it and wind up stuck on the side of the road–ruining the road trip vibe AND you have to pay a towing bill. Yikes! Well, Texas has put into motion a solution for this avoidable inconvenience. Making long distance travel easier for a new generation of cars, Texas plans to be able to support 1 million electric vehicles by adding dozens of electric vehicle charging stations throughout the state. At Edmond Hyundai we find this innovative solution to be the answer to this problem in many states, including here in Edmond, Oklahoma. Keep reading to get a deeper understanding of this plan!

Texas EV Charging Stations Plan

Texas, being the second largest state in America comes with a big environmental responsibility, and they are stepping up to the plate! The Texas Department of transportation has laid out a five-year plan to build a network of charging stations across the state. They plan to start with main corridors and interstate highways, then move to building these stations in rural areas. The main goal is to place charging stations every 50 miles along most non-business interstate routes. In other areas of Texas, they plan to have electric charging stations every 70 miles. They will be equipped with multiple stalls for ease of use. They will also be high powered at 150kW, which charges most electric vehicles from 10% to 80% in around just 30 minutes. Browse a book or catch up on your favorite TV show, but you won’t have to stay for long!

The Federal Infrastructure and Jobs Act

Nationally, The Federal Infrastructure and Jobs Act passed last year has a goal of creating a network of over 500,000 easy to use yet reliable electric vehicle charging stations by 2023. Oklahoma’s time is coming soon! Texas’ funding is coming from this act, which is allocating $408 million to the state over the 5 year plan period to expand its number of charging stations throughout the state. However, no funds from the state budget will be used. Additionally from the infrastructure act, Texas is estimated to receive around 35.44 billion over the same five years for bridges, roads, ports, pipes, and broadband access with some additional projects.

As of May 31, 2022, there were only 129,0010 electric vehicles in Texas according to the TDT report. That means less than 1% of vehicles in Texas are electric. There’s always room to grow! However, experts are looking at the rapid buying rates and meeting the demand for electric vehicles on the road. Since 2020, the total number of electric vehicles has almost tripled as more and more people buy into the technology.

Start of Construction in January 2023

Texas’ governor Greg Abbott is gung-ho about implementing these electric charging stations. He stresses their importance, “Texas’ sheer volume of roadway miles leaves ample opportunity for EV charging deployment. The plan should ensure that every Texan can access the infrastructure they need to charge an EV,” Abbott wrote. “Additionally, I direct TxDOT and stakeholders to include in the plan a way for Texans to easily get from Beaumont to El Paso and Texline to Brownsville in an EV–with a focus on rural placement and connectivity.” Texas is currently gathering public comments and concerns, then the plan will be finalized by Aug 1, 2022 to the Federal Highway Administration. Officials will then create contracts for construction beginning in January 2023.

First year: Texas will add 48 new charging locations to meet the 50-mile FHWA requirement. There are already 27 existing locations and 26 more locations that will be possible by a separate grant. The state will have about 101 electric vehicle charging stations by 2024!
Second year: Texas will be focusing on building charging stations in small urban areas, rural counties, and other areas advised by metropolitan planning organizations.
Third through fifth year: These years of implementation will continue to focus on building out charging networks in smaller and rural areas. They have a lot of ground to cover! Since this endeavor will be using more power and electricity, stations could come with a combination of solar and battery equipment to level out power supplies.

Electric Vehicles Coming Soon to Edmond Hyundai

At Edmond Hyundai we are excited for the future of electric vehicles nationwide, and of course, in Oklahoma! It’s clear that electric vehicle sales are picking up in America, so why not pick yours out at Edmond Hyundai! We have a large variety of new and used vehicles in stock just waiting to go home with you. Feel free to schedule a test drive, learn more about the Edmond Hyundai Promise, our financial programs, and more. Check out our full new and used car inventory online, give us a call, or visit us in person! We look forward to hearing from you and to learn your opinion on the EV charging stations on interstates.

The XRT is positioned between the $39,245 SEL and the $47,795 Limited.

Interior, Cargo, and Performance

The SE and SEL trims of the 2023 Palisade seat eight passengers, while the XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy seat seven with second-row captain’s chairs. No matter the model, there is still plenty of space. The 12-inch touchscreen display has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, in-dash navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Bluetooth connectivity. Hyundai’s BlueLink service also enables you to lock, unlock, and remote start the car through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Cargo volume with all three rows in use is about 18 cubic feet, but that increases to 46 cubic feet with the third row folded down and 86 with all rear seats folded. There is also space beneath the load floor in the rear for extra storage.

The Palisade is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine and comes standard with an eight speed automatic transmission. Like previous Palisades, the 2023 produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. On the SE, SEL, XRT, and Limited models, FWD is standard and can be upgraded to AWD; however, AWD is standard on the Calligraphy. When equipped with AWD, the 2023 Palisade also includes Tow Mode which can haul a whopping 5,000 pounds.

Now onto the Palisade’s fuel economy. According to the EPA, the FWD Palisade manages 19-MPG city and 26-MPG highway. The AWD Palisade is rated at 19-MPG city and 24-MPG highway. The 2023 Hyundai Palisade also comes standard with key safety features like automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with lane-assist, and adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode.
