When choosing a car for a 1,000-mile trip from Florida to North Carolina, there are

several criteria to consider: fuel economy, comfort, safety features, and practicality.

We chose a 2024 Hyundai Tucson for the journey in N Line specification, and

because Hyundai gives the sporty N Line trim a hybrid powertrain rather than the conventional gasoline engine,

we got more power, and more miles out of it. The Tucson Hybrid is more powerful than
