You can see what MPG other owners of this car have achieved in our Real MPG guide here - www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/hyundai/tucson-2021 Tucson Hybrid owners have achieved an average of 46.4mpg, which is 93% of the official claimed fuel consumption. It is important to consider that the official MPG figure is derived from the WLTP test, which incorporates a mix of driving conditions and speeds.

Hybrids also operate at their best in mixed driving conditions, as on motorways the speeds are typically too high for the electric motor alone to power the car. Slower speeds and traffic, where braking will charge the battery and acceleration from lower speeds creates the opportunity for the electric motor to operate, which of course uses no petrol. Extending your braking distances in order to maximise regeneration and minimise the amount of work the actual brakes perform will also help to boost economy.

It is possible that the fuel consumption will improve with time as the engine loosens up although we are not aware that this affects Hyundais in particular. You may wish to take this up with the manufacturer, but we would expect them to explain that fuel economy will vary considerably based on driving style, atmospheric conditions and vehicle load.
