Award-Winning Hyundai Tucson: Why It’s a Top SUV Pick in Northwest Indiana

If you’re in the market for an SUV in the Northwest Indiana area, Webb Hyundai Merrillville is here for you — and the Hyundai Tucson
can be, too.

With standout safety features, fuel efficiency, and qualities you and your family will appreciate, the Tucson is undoubtedly a top SUV option for Northwest Indiana drivers.

What Are the Best Features of the Hyundai Tucson?

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson is a Top Safety Pick+, as named by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Safety is a main priority for all drivers, no matter what kind of vehicle they’re looking for. That said, the Hyundai Tucson safety award accolade is something Northwest Indiana drivers can appreciate when shopping for an SUV.

In addition, the Tucson provides all the power you would want from an SUV. It’s powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with
187 hp at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
Its towing capacity is just as impressive at 1,650 pounds without trailer brakes and
2,000 pounds with trailer brakes.

What Safety Features Does the Hyundai Tucson Have?

The Hyundai Tucson’s safety award is great recognition, but it’s important to understand the safety features the SUV offers to help keep drivers and passengers safe.

• Blind-Spot Collision Warning:
  This feature uses advanced radar technology to signal a visual alert when you’re trying to change lanes but a car is in your blind spot.
  From trips on the highway to drives through tight streets, Blind-Spot Collision Warning can be especially helpful when driving in Northwest Indiana.
• Lane Keeping Assist:
  If your Tucson drifts from its lane, audio and visual signals alert the driver.
• Driver Attention Warning:
  Based on monitored driving patterns, alerts and warning messages appear when inattentive driving has been detected.
• Safe Exit Warning:
  If a vehicle approaches from behind, the radar technology detects this and alerts the driver to help prevent open doors from causing an accident.
  Northwest Indiana drivers are familiar with how tight certain streets can be, so this feature can be especially useful in those situations.

Is the Hyundai Tucson a Good Family SUV for Merrillville, IN?

The Tucson is a great family SUV that can keep up with you and your kids’ nonstop lifestyle.
It can sufficiently handle work trips, school pickups, extracurricular activities, long road trips, and more.

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson can seat five passengers and offers ample cargo space.
The SUV features 41.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up.
That volume nearly doubles to 80.3 cubic feet with the seats folded down.

That means Northwest Indiana families have room for bags, car seats, sports equipment, groceries, and more.

What’s the Gas Mileage for the Hyundai Tucson?

Another advantage of the award-winning Tucson is its gas mileage. It is a sporty and capable SUV with fuel efficiency more similar to a sedan.

Gas prices are always a concern for drivers, and the Tucson is a smart choice for drivers in Merrillville, Crown Point, Winfield, and other Northwest Indiana communities.

• FWD MPG Ratings: 25 city / 33 highway / 28 combined mpg
• AWD MPG Ratings: 24 city / 30 highway / 26 combined mpg

This kind of gas mileage makes the Tucson an ideal choice for daily driving. From commutes to and from work to running errands around Northwest Indiana,
drivers can feel confident that their Tucson does not require as much refueling as many other SUVs.

What Are the Trim Levels for the Hyundai Tucson?

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson comes in five trims. Each one has its own features, but they all share the power and fuel efficiency Merrillville drivers need, equipped with the same engine and delivering the same gas mileage.

As the trims progress, each model offers more premium features.

• Hyundai Tucson SE
• Hyundai Tucson SEL
• Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience
• Hyundai Tucson XRT
• Hyundai Tucson Limited
