2026 Hyundai Tucson price and specs
But while the number of Tucson variants has also been reduced, from 17 to just nine, so too have prices across the range. Depending on the variant, the Tucson is between $1000 and $2500 cheaper than before.
Hyundai added a hybrid powertrain to the local Tucson lineup for 2025, dropping the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the process while adding a front-wheel drive version of the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four.
Now, it has axed the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine, following the removal of this powertrain from the Kona small SUV for 2026.

That leaves just two powertrains available in the Tucson: a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder and the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol hybrid.
If you want all-wheel drive, your only option is the hybrid.
In contrast, the related Kia Sportage continues to offer the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine (in both front- and all-wheel drive configurations), as well as the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel. It's also offered with the same hybrid powertrain as the Tucson.
All Tucsons now feature Digital Key functionality, allowing you to use compatible smartphones to lock, unlock or start the vehicle using near-field communication and ultra-wideband technology.
Other than the switch from 18-inch alloy wheels to 17s for the base Tucson, there are no other specification changes for 2026.

2026 KGM Rexton price and specs: Former SsangYong SUV gets more kit for more money
The seven-seat KGM Rexton large SUV has finally received additional safety tech in Australia, years after these features were added in its home market. The move to electrically assisted power steering means the Korean Ford Everest rival now has lane-keep assist, and it's also picked up adaptive cruise control – something revealed for Korean-market models back in 2020. The base ELX gains leatherette upholstery and new-look LED daytime running lights, as well as sequential indicators front and rear. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. The Advance (formerly Adventure) picks up rear-seat sun blinds, the Ultimate gains a wireless phone charger, and the Sport Pack gains leather/suede upholstery and some minor trim revisions. Otherwise, the Rexton is unchanged, though prices have increased by upwards of $2500. The Rexton is a cut-price alternative to the likes of the Everest, but also has to contend with other challenger-brand models like the Mahindra Scorpio and LDV D90. Pricing Drivetrains and Efficiency All Rextons feature a part-time four-wheel drive system with an automatic locking rear differential. Dimensions The Rexton has 236 litres of luggage space behind the third row, expanding to 641L with it dropped (measured to the seatbacks) and 1806L with both the second and third rows folded (measured to the roof). Servicing and Warranty The KGM Rexton is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, with five years of roadside assistance. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. KGM Australia hasn't announced new capped-price servicing details for 2026. The outgoing 2025 Rexton has seven years of capped-price servicing, with prices as follows: Safety The KGM Rexton has never been tested by ANCAP.

Honda revives sporty name from the past for first model on new EV platform
The Acura RSX is the latest sporty nameplate from yesteryear that's been revived, and reimagined for the modern automotive landscape. Instead of being a sporting-ish three-door coupe, the new RSX is a high-riding five-door SUV with an 'expressive coupe-like silhouette'. Scheduled to make its in-the-flesh debut at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this weekend, the RSX Prototype is in true Honda fashion a very thinly disguised version of the production vehicle, with the wing mirror design likely the only change. Supplied Credit: CarExpert It will be the first production model based on Honda's new in-house EV platform, and will be manufactured in the company's Ohio factory. Sales of the new RSX will begin in the second half of 2026. According to Acura, the production RSX will have a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, double wishbone front suspension, and Brembo brakes as standard. No word yet on outputs, performance figures, battery capacities, or range. It will also feature the company's new Asimo OS that controls not only the infotainment system, but also driver assistance, autonomous driving, and basic hardware functions. Likened to a smartphone operating system — not to mention OSes in other brands, such as Tesla and Rivian — Asimo OS supports over-the-air updates, high levels of driver customisation, connected services, and machine learning to adapt to the driver's entertainment and driving preferences. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The RSX is the second model name Acura has brought back from the dead for an electric SUV; the ZDX holds the honour of being the first. While the second-generation ZDX stayed true to the coupe SUV silhouette of the original, it and the closely related Honda Prologue are actually Honda designs on top of GM's BEV3 platform. Both not only use GM's EV technology, but are built by the General. Acura began mining its nameplate history in 2022 when it released the Integra liftback, basically a lightly restyled Honda Civic equipped with its most powerful engines. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Sold for just one generation from 2002, the original RSX (above) was a rebranded fourth-generation Integra. Unlike the Integra, which was available in both three- and five-door liftback guises, the RSX only ever came with three doors. When it departed the scene in 2006, it became the last-ever non-NSX coupe from the brand, and ended the brand's opening era where it deliberately courted young enthusiasts. The shift from Integra to RSX came at the tail end of the marque's dumping of its original model names: Legend for RL, Vigor for TL, and Integra for RSX. The shift to letters was reportedly due to a desire to focus owners' affections on the overall marque rather than individual models. MORE: Everything Honda
