Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell Gets Two New Colors For 2016, HomeLink Connectivity

Hyundai has announced some minor changes for the 2016 Tucson Fuel Cell, which continues to be based on the previous-generation model.

For 2016, the Tucson Fuel Cell adds HomeLink connectivity to the mirror, which allows owners to open and close garage doors, security gates and even control home lighting systems via a button on the rearview mirror. Furthermore, the mirror now includes a digital compass.

In addition, the 2016 Tucson Fuel Cell adds two new exterior colors to the existing Winter White: Hydro Blue and Chromium Silver.

The fuel cell SUV continues to be offered exclusively as part of a lease program (unlike the Toyota Mirai which customers can actually buy).

The lease program remains unchanged for 2016, with customers in the Los Angeles/Orange County region being able to drive Hyundai’s Tucson Fuel Cell for $499 per month for a 36-month term, with a $2,999 down payment.

As before, this includes unlimited complimentary hydrogen refueling and At Your Service Valet Maintenance at no extra cost. The latter service is similar to what Equus owners have enjoyed since its introduction in 2010. In case a Tucson Fuel Cell requires any service, a Hyundai dealer will pick up the vehicle and provide a loan vehicle, then return the car after service to the customer’s home or business – all at no charge.

Hyundai says it will expand availability of the Tucson Fuel Cell to other regions of the U.S. as the hydrogen refueling infrastructure develops.
