A new way to go electric
Residents in certain parts of California can enjoy a new take on alternative fuels in a 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, one of the first production Fuel Cells in the world. Instead of a battery, the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell uses a fuel cell that converts compressed hydrogen and oxygen from the air around you into electricity. So, you can enjoy an electric vehicle without long recharge times or worry about battery health. Otherwise, the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is essentially the same as the gas Tucson, which means you get a functional, spacious, well-equipped compact SUV ideal for everyday life.

5 reasons to buy the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell
1. Hydrogen powered
One of the most exciting parts of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is the hydrogen fuel cell technology. By generating electricity using a fuel cell instead of drawing from a battery, the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell doesn’t need the charge times associated with battery-electric cars. It takes about 10 minutes to refill the compressed hydrogen tank. Additionally, since the only thing leaving the tailpipe is water, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is an appealing alternative to internal combustion engines.
2. A quiet and refined interior
Enjoy a whisper-quiet driving experience in the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell because of the electric powertrain, good sound insulation, and well-dampened suspension. In other words, without the sounds of a gas engine, and with road noise minimized, the cabin is free of intrusive noises. Additionally, leather seating, attractive styling, and supportive seats further elevate an already comfortable passenger cabin.
3. Good driving dynamics
Delivering a responsive and composed driving experience, the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is ready to navigate the urban jungle or conquer the next freeway. Because all of its torque is available when you press the go pedal, the 134-hp electric motor accelerates quickly while at speed or from a standstill. While the SUV stereotype is a muted driving experience, the Tucson Fuel Cell's snappy acceleration, composed ride, and good power break that mold.
4. Loaded with the features you want
There’s only one trim level of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell available, but it's well-equipped with modern features and creature comforts. If you’re a music fan, you’ll enjoy streaming music through the six-speaker sound system via Bluetooth® connectivity. Sitting center stage is a seven-inch touchscreen, your gateway to a responsive and easy-to-use infotainment system. Lastly, stay on course with the integrated navigation system.
5. Spacious and functional storage
Use the versatile and practical interior of a 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell to take on whatever adventure the day throws at you. Practical storage, such as door pockets and large cubbies, are abundant inside a 2017 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell. Or, bring home the latest item from the furniture store using the 60/40 split folding rear seats to add more cargo volume in the rear. Even with the second-row seats folded up, there’s still 31 cu-ft of cargo volume for luggage, boxes, groceries, or gear.
