Conveniently located at 8101 W 159th St, our dealership proudly serves drivers from across Chicago’s southwest suburbs, including Orland Park, Oak Lawn, Mokena, and many more surrounding communities.

The Hyundai Tucson has earned its reputation as one of the most well-rounded compact SUVs on the market. It strikes a confident balance between athletic design and practical versatility, making it equally at home on daily commutes through Tinley Park, weekend road trips, or navigating unpredictable Midwest weather. Under the hood, the standard Tucson is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel drive system is available across multiple trims for added confidence in all conditions.
Cargo flexibility is one of the Tucson’s strongest suits, offering 38.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up and a generous 74.8 cubic feet with them folded — enough room to haul sports gear, groceries, or luggage with ease. When properly equipped, the Tucson can tow up to 2,750 pounds, adding an extra dimension of utility. Fuel economy is equally impressive, with front-wheel-drive models achieving up to 33 MPG on the highway. For shoppers who want even greater efficiency, the Tucson is also available as a Tucson Hybrid and a Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, both offering substantially higher fuel savings.
Safety is built into every Tucson from the ground up. Standard Hyundai SmartSense driver-assistance technology includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and more — giving every driver and passenger added peace of mind before leaving the driveway.
The Hyundai Tucson is offered in five trim levels, each building upon the last to match a wide range of lifestyles, priorities, and budgets. Here is a look at what each trim brings to the table.
The SE is the entry point into the Tucson lineup, and it already arrives impressively equipped. Standard features include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Drive Mode Select (Normal, Sport, and Snow modes for AWD trims), and a suite of Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies. The SE is an excellent choice for value-conscious buyers who want a modern, safe, and connected SUV without unnecessary extras.
Stepping up to the SEL adds a meaningful layer of comfort and convenience. Highlights include heated front seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, dual automatic temperature control, wireless device charging, a hands-free smart liftgate with auto-open, heated side mirrors, and Hyundai Digital Key compatibility. The SEL is ideal for buyers who commute daily and want creature comforts that make every drive more enjoyable — without moving into premium territory on price.
The XRT is the Tucson’s adventure-ready trim, distinguished by its rugged exterior attitude and trail-friendly capability. Exclusive XRT styling elements include black exterior accents, XRT badging, unique side cladding, a dark-chrome accent grille, and 18-inch XRT-exclusive alloy wheels. A standard tow hitch and HTRAC all-wheel drive come included, making the XRT a natural fit for outdoor enthusiasts in Matteson, Homer Glen, and New Lenox who want a capable SUV with head-turning style. It is a perfect blend of form and function for the active lifestyle buyer.
The SEL Premium elevates the Tucson experience with a significant technology and luxury upgrade. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster joins the infotainment display, forming a sweeping dual-screen cockpit. Additional highlights include built-in navigation, Highway Driving Assist, a power-tilt-and-slide sunroof, H-Tex leatherette seating surfaces, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, ambient interior lighting, and Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium. This trim is designed for buyers who want near-luxury features and a truly connected driving experience at a competitive price point.
The Limited is the pinnacle of the Tucson gas lineup, offering a fully loaded suite of premium appointments. Standout features include an 8-speaker Bose premium audio system, a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, genuine leather seating, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a surround-view monitor, and Remote Smart Parking Assist. The Limited leaves very little to be desired and is a top choice for buyers in Downers Grove, Joliet, and Bolingbrook who demand the best in technology, comfort, and refinement from their compact SUV.

Yes — HTRAC all-wheel drive is available on multiple Tucson trim levels, including the SE, SEL, XRT, SEL Premium, and Limited. The XRT trim actually comes standard with AWD, making it a natural choice for drivers who frequently face wet or wintry road conditions common throughout the Chicago southwest suburbs.

Our sales team at Watson Family Hyundai can help you determine which AWD configuration best suits your needs.
The Hyundai Tucson offers 38.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats in their upright position, which is competitive within the compact SUV segment. When you fold the rear seats flat, that figure expands to a spacious 74.8 cubic feet — enough to accommodate large items like furniture, bikes, or camping gear. The Tucson also features a well-designed cargo area with a low load floor for easy loading and thoughtful storage options throughout the cabin. It is one of the most practical compact SUVs available at Watson Family Hyundai.
Every Hyundai Tucson comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense, a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies. Standard features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and additional active safety systems.

Hyundai’s commitment to safety means you get meaningful protection at every price point, and Watson Family Hyundai is happy to walk you through every available safety feature in person.
Absolutely. Watson Family Hyundai carries the full Hyundai Tucson lineup, including the Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-In Hybrid. The Tucson Hybrid pairs a turbocharged engine with an electric motor for a combined 231 horsepower and impressive fuel efficiency — the Blue SE hybrid trim achieves an EPA-estimated 38 MPG combined. The Plug-In Hybrid goes even further, allowing drivers to travel on electric power alone for daily errands before switching to the hybrid system on longer trips. Visit our showroom or schedule a test drive to experience the difference for yourself.
