Test Drive the 2026 Tucson Hybrid at Webb Hyundai Merrillville on 81st Ave

Webb Hyundai Merrillville is at 1000 W 81st Ave — on the US-30 commercial corridor that runs through Merrillville, providing direct test drive access to the same kind of driving Crown Point, Valparaiso, and Portage buyers do every day. NWI Best of the Region 2026.

Getting to Webb Hyundai Merrillville

From Valparaiso: US-30 east approximately 15-18 miles to 81st Ave. From Portage: US-20 or US-30 east approximately 10-12 miles to 81st Ave. From Lowell: US-2 north to US-30, then west.

The US-30 Test Drive

81st Ave and the US-30 Merrillville corridor provide exactly the driving conditions the Tucson Hybrid is designed for: stop-and-go commercial zone traffic interspersed with 45-55 mph surface street segments. The hybrid system’s regenerative braking is most active during the frequent deceleration for US-30 signal stops. Watch the energy flow display in the infotainment screen to see the system switching between charging, electric drive, and combined power. A brief I-65 segment allows highway acceleration and cruising evaluation if desired.

PHEV Test Drive Tips

Call ahead to confirm a PHEV model is available — and ideally, that it will be charged before your appointment. The first 10-15 miles of a PHEV test drive in full EV mode is the clearest way to experience the differentiating feature. A depleted PHEV drives identically to the standard Hybrid from a feel perspective — you want to experience the EV-mode start and low-speed behavior that makes the PHEV distinct for Crown Point-range commuters.
