Glassman Hyundai – Why HTRAC All Wheel Drive on the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Inspires Confident Driving around Detroit, MI

For many drivers, Michigan weather is a season-by-season reminder that traction equals confidence. The 2025 TUCSON Hybrid makes confidence standard with HTRAC All Wheel Drive on every model, translating the hybrid’s 231 combined horsepower into dependable control on wet leaves, fresh snow, or dusty summer trails. What sets HTRAC apart is how it actively distributes power for stability and balance, then partners with e-Handling technology to subtly apply the electric motor for more precise cornering. The result is a hybrid SUV that feels planted without feeling heavy, energetic without feeling jumpy, and reassuring without numbing the fun of driving.

In real life, this shows up as calm lane changes on I-75, smooth merges when gaps are small, and tidy, surefooted turns on neighborhood streets. The TUCSON Hybrid’s chassis tuning and brake regeneration work in concert to keep motion controlled, and the steering communicates road feel with a confidence-building directness. Inside, the panoramic curved display—with its standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster—gives you a cohesive, modern interface that keeps information where you want it: clear, bright, and intelligently laid out. Pair that with available Remote Smart Parking Assist, and tight urban spots or garage maneuvers become a one-button task from the key fob.

Year-round assurance: Standard HTRAC All Wheel Drive helps manage slick, slushy, and uneven surfaces.
Cornering poise: e-Handling technology supports precise turn-in and stability without harshness.
Driver-first visibility: The panoramic curved display unifies crucial info and infotainment beautifully.
Smart convenience: Available Remote Smart Parking Assist helps navigate tight spaces from outside the vehicle.

Safety and awareness come first, and Hyundai SmartSense surrounds the cabin with class-leading advanced safety features designed to assist in monitoring the road, vehicles around you, and potential hazards. It feels like a quiet, consistent co-pilot, ideal for busy commutes and late-night drives alike. On the practical side, a hands-free smart power liftgate and generous cargo space make weekly routines easier—groceries, sports gear, or a last-minute DIY project are no stress. It all adds up to a hybrid SUV that feels well-judged for Southeast Michigan: nimble enough for downtown streets, steady on highway cruises, and confident when the weather turns.

For drivers who also appreciate modern connectivity, Bluelink® services help you keep tabs on the SUV and streamline everyday tasks from your device. Whether you’re timing a departure around traffic or checking vehicle status, the goal is simple: make daily life smoother. And when the day ends, the TUCSON Hybrid’s cabin remains a pleasant place to decompress—quiet, thoughtfully organized, and ready for tomorrow.
