2022 PHEV Plug-in Hybrid Availability date? Pricing Acceleration vs regular Hybrid? Federal tax rebate?

I'm in the market for a PHEV in this class and had pretty much settled on a Prime. Then looked at the 2022 Tucson and really liked what I saw. Nicer interior, great looking outside, etc. Then my excitement faded very quickly when I saw it's 31 miles electric range! The entire point of a PHEV is to try to do daily driving 100% electric and have the ICE for longer drives. Doesn't Hyundai understand that in America things are often spread out? Not everyone lives in downtown metropolises. Ugh, what to do. Tucson offers better interior space, Prime offers better e-range.

I'm thinking maybe...:

• pricing end of July?
• not more that $3K over the regular Hybrid?
• so, maybe $4K less after federal tax credits, for those that qualify?
• two tenths/second faster than the regular 0-60. But, feel noticeably quicker in the 25mph - 60mph of daily driving?
• Not Rav4 Prime quick, but close?

I live in Vancouver and have deposits with 2 different dealerships in my area, one tells me July while the other says August.

When I initially put my deposit down on the first dealership in May, the Hyundai Canada website said pre-order, arriving Summer 2021
but then 2 weeks later, the website had updated to arriving Fall 2021

Now, the Tucson PHEV pre-order page is no longer accessible from the Hyundai Canada website. The only way to view it is by searching via Google results. There's no more navigational buttons or menus that direct you to it from the homepage. Not a great sign. I've submitted feedback to Hyundai Canada to ask for more info and am awaiting a response.

Does not have any release date too. No price at all...

In line with what I thought it would be, what's even more surprising is the HyundaiUSA website still has yet to announce pricing on their website.

The Hybrid Tucsons were suppose to be in the US early spring. Although I reserved a Limited Hybrid on March 24th thru Hyundai USA, my dealer got his first Limited Hybrid last week. Good luck with getting a Plug in any time soon

Randy, We picked our Hybrid Limited up in USA about 5K ago, May 20th.

A simple conversion is $38,600. in USD. I know, pricing isn't that simple. But, yeah, why no HyundaiUSA pricing yet?

Any ETA at dealerships for Canada?

NO way! To qualify for state credit a price has to be below $45k
I don't get it. I was expecting $44,999
e.g. Rav4 is 44,990

The price in Canada for the PHEV is under $45K. The screenshot shows as $45,451 because it is taking into account the fees of roughly $1800-$1900.

Price includes Delivery and Destination charges, fees, levies and all applicable charges (excluding HST, GST/PST).
Price excludes registration, insurance, PPSA and license fees. Fees may vary by dealer. Certain exterior or interior colour options may cost extra.

Canada gets more hybrids than the US. If you are in the US you won't get a plug in till nest spring or summer..If you check the availability of a Tucson Limited Hybrid nation wide you be lucky to find one that the dealer really has.

The plug in hybrid's are starting to trickle into US dealers. The Hyundai website isn't updated. You have to search dealer by dealer inventory on individual dealer's website.

The vehicles might say 'in transit' and actually be at the dealer, just not checked in yet.

So what is the price for these US PHEV since you’ve apparently seen them?

The one in my driveway has a msrp of 44,280. We picked it up yesterday. The price has been out for a while, just not on hyundai website.

Thanks. What trim level? What is your initial impression?

Limited Phev. I only drove it on the test drive, about 30 miles. We got home from dealer at 8pm last night and I had to work at 3 am this morning, so I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. It my wife's car, so I won't really be able to check it out fully until the weekend.
I update when I actually have some details.

Seems very nice so far, the drive train is super smooth.

Seen a couple PHEV's flow through Vancouver dealers last month, and one of the dealerships I have a deposit with says they should receive their first batch of vehicles before month end, October.

Hopefully when it does, they don't try to gouge me.

We paid MSRP for ours. I'd be shocked if anybody gets one for less. It's my wife's car but i took it to work today. There are 3 drive modes, hybrid, EV, and automatic. Had it in automatic and for a 100km round trip to work and back i got an indicated 3.5 l/100 km. Left the house fully charged and had 70% battery left when i arrived at work.
