Depending on what you, personally, care about (cost, fuel, features, comfort, etc.), this can help you decide if its a smart pick. What you get with the 2026 Tucson SEL FWD These are the main strong points of the SEL trim with Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): Feature / Advantage Details & Why They Matter Good value baseline with useful features The SEL trim adds decent comfort, tech, and safety features over the base SE, without going into the luxury premium trim cost. You get a lot of bang for your buck. Efficient performance The SEL FWD comes with a 2.5-L 4-cylinder engine, ~187 hp, paired with an 8-speed automatic. The fuel economy is quite good: ~25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway. Because you're not hauling the extra weight/drag of AWD, you get better mileage. Lower cost of ownership Lower sticker price vs AWD or higher trim levels less up front. Also a bit less for fuel, potentially cheaper insurance and maintenance in some aspects. Safety & tech essentialsEven SEL gets many safety features and modern tech: forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, etc. Useful comfort features, too (heated seats, power liftgate, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, etc.). Tow capacity & utility SEL FWD can tow up to ~2,750 lbs, which is decent for many small trailers, boat launches, etc., for weekend or light hauling. Practical size & interior spaceFive seats, good passenger volume, usable cargo space. For daily commuting, errands, small family or 1-2 outings with gear, the size is manageable. Less bulk to drive than larger SUVs.. 25/33 City/Highway MPG 2026 Hyundai Tucson SEL
