If you've been circling a Tucson Hybrid and the new model doesn't matter to you, today is the day the sums changed. Hyundai Australia has put a $3,000 runout bonus on each of the nine versions of the current NX4 Tucson, on top of the drive-away prices it has been advertising since October, and it says the bonus is taken off the drive-away figure.
Key Takeaways
- Hyundai prints the current Tucson from $40,990 drive-away (petrol) and $44,990 drive-away (hybrid), with a $3,000 runout bonus shown on all nine grades
- Hyundai's terms say the bonus comes off the drive-away price, which on its own maths puts the base hybrid at $41,990
- The bonus runs from 13 November to 31 December 2026, on new and demo stock at participating dealers
- Private buyers only: fleet, government and rental purchases are excluded
- The all-new NX5 Tucson is due in mid-2027, so this is a clearance of the outgoing car
On Hyundai's own numbers, that makes a front-drive Tucson Hybrid a $41,990 car on the road. For context, that's less than our directory lists the same car for before on-road costs.
The reason is no secret. The fifth-generation Tucson, the NX5, was revealed in Korea in August and is due here in mid-2027, so dealers want the current car gone before the new one arrives. That gives you leverage, but it also means you're buying a model that's about to be replaced. We'll weigh both below.

Drive-away prices and the $3,000 runout bonus as shown on Hyundai Australia's Tucson offers page on 13 November 2026, read without a postcode set. "After bonus" is our arithmetic from Hyundai's statement that the bonus is applied as a deduction from the drive-away price. Confirm the final figure with the dealer.
One wrinkle worth knowing. The drive-away offers, which run from 1 October to 31 December, say they can't be combined with other offers. The runout bonus terms, which start today, say the bonus is applied as a deduction from the drive-away price. Read together, the bonus is clearly meant to sit on top. But if a salesperson tells you otherwise, point them to the bonus wording on Hyundai's own offer page, and get the agreed number on the contract.
The bonus also covers demonstrators, which the plain drive-away offer does not mention. A demo with a few thousand kilometres on it can be a good buy in a runout, as long as the warranty start date and the price both reflect that it's been registered.

Key Specs
Nothing changes mechanically for the runout. These are Hyundai Australia's published figures for the two powertrains.
| 2.0 petrol FWD | 1.6 turbo hybrid AWD | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | 115kW / 192Nm | 172kW / 367Nm combined |
| Gearbox | 6-speed automatic | 6-speed automatic |
| Combined fuel use | 8.1L/100km | 5.3L/100km |
| Fuel tank | 54L | 52L |
| Braked / unbraked towing | 1,650kg / 750kg | 1,900kg / 750kg |
| Boot (seats up / down, VDA) | 539L / 1,860L | 582L / 1,903L |
| Length / width / height | 4,640 / 1,865 / 1,665mm | 4,640 / 1,865 / 1,665mm (N Line 4,650mm long) |
| Wheelbase | 2,755mm | 2,755mm |
From Hyundai Australia's Tucson specifications page, 13 November 2026. Our directory lists the front-drive hybrid at 4.9L/100km combined.
The hybrid is the one to look at. It has 57kW more than the petrol, 43 litres more boot space with the seats up, and 250kg more braked towing. On fuel, the front-drive hybrid's 4.9L/100km against the petrol's 8.1 is a gap of 3.2 litres per 100km. At 15,000km a year and $2 a litre, that's roughly $960 a year, so the hybrid's $4,000 premium over the petrol is clawed back in around four years on fuel alone.

Equipment
The runout doesn't add any gear, so you get the standard kit of whichever grade the dealer has in stock. Across the three grades Hyundai's spec page compares (the base petrol, the Elite Hybrid AWD and the Premium N Line), it lists forward collision-avoidance assist with car, pedestrian, cyclist and junction-turning detection, plus a forward attention warning that uses an in-cabin camera.
Wheels grow with the grade: 17-inch alloys on the base petrol, 18s on the Elite hybrid and 19s on the Premium N Line, per Hyundai's spec page. For the line-by-line equipment list of each grade, the car pages linked in the price table carry what we hold.
Safety
A runout doesn't change a car's safety rating, and we're not going to quote one here. For the NX4's ANCAP details, see the Tucson Hybrid car page, and check the rating's date stamp on ANCAP's site before you sign, since an older rating can expire during your ownership.

The obvious cross-shop is the Tucson's cousin, the Kia Sportage, which shares the 1.6 turbo hybrid. Watch the price labels: Hyundai prints drive-away, and our directory lists the Kia at RRP, which is before on-road costs.

Kia prices, fuel and warranty, and the Tucson Hybrid FWD fuel figure, as listed in our directory on 11 November 2026. RRP excludes on-road costs. Tucson warranty from Hyundai Australia's warranty page.
Before the bonus, Hyundai's drive-away price for the Tucson Hybrid sat just $540 above the Kia's list price, and the Kia figure doesn't include on-road costs. With the $3,000 off, the Tucson Hybrid lands below the Sportage S Hybrid's list price, before the Kia has paid a cent of rego or stamp duty. That's a meaningful gap on cars that share a powertrain and print the same fuel figure.
What the Kia keeps is warranty. Its seven years is standard. Hyundai's warranty page says its five-year cover can be extended by up to two more years when the car is serviced with Hyundai, which closes the gap if you were going to dealer-service the car anyway. You can put the two side by side on the compare page.
Our Take
This is a proper runout, not a token one. Hyundai has printed a real drive-away price for each grade and a flat $3,000 on top, which is far more useful than an "up to" headline. The value peaks at the bottom of the hybrid range, where $41,990 on the road for a 172kW hybrid medium SUV is hard to argue with.
The trade-off is timing. The NX5 is a full redesign, and a car bought today will look a generation old within a year. If you keep cars for a long time, that matters less than it sounds, but it'll show at trade-in.
We'd be less excited by the top grades. At $59,990 after the bonus, the Premium N Line Package is still a lot of money for a car about to be replaced. The Elite Hybrid in front-drive, at $48,490 after the bonus, is the sweet spot if you want more than the base car.
What This Means for Buyers
If a Tucson Hybrid was on your list, ring two or three dealers this week, ask what NX4 stock and demos they hold, and ask for the drive-away price with the $3,000 runout bonus applied, in writing. Delivery has to happen by 31 December, so leave time for finance.
If you were leaning to the Sportage S Hybrid, it's worth getting a Kia drive-away quote now and holding it against the Tucson's. The Kia's longer standard warranty is real value; whether it's worth the price gap this runout opens up depends on how long you keep your cars.
And if you'd rather have the new shape, our NX5 Tucson story has what's been revealed so far. Just know that Australian pricing hasn't been announced, and a launch-year car rarely comes with $3,000 off.
