Hyundai finally revealed the new Tucson N Line, scheduled to launch in Europe this year.
The Tucson N Line was given a sporty makeover, now boasting more than a few performance-inspired features. According to Hyundai, the all-new Tucson has been introduced specially for customers wanting “a Tucson with more attitude.”
The Tucson N Line’s first noticeable change is the new grille, both taller and wider than the one present on the standard variant. The grille also features parametric jewels creating reflections based on the angle of incident lights. The front and rear bumpers have also been buffed, and the air intake tube has also been enlarged.
There’s also a rear spoiler along with twin exhausts, giving the SUV a more aggressive look. The rear bumpers also feature a skid plate, an integrated diffuser, and wide reflectors. Customers can choose from seven different color options, including a two-tone option. The Tucson N Line is also now available in all-exclusive “Shadow Grey” color.
Inside the all-new Tucson’s cabin, you’ll find suede seats coerced with leather and finished in red contrast stitching. The N Line variant will retain the 10.25-inch infotainment system available on the standard model, coupled with Hyundai’s Blue Link connected services.
Of course, it will be offered with several powertrain options, just like the standard variant. At the bottom of the ladder sits the 1.6-liter T-GDI engine producing 147 hp and a 1.6-liter CRDi diesel engine generating 113 hp. Mild hybrid 48-volt variants will also be available, coupled with 1.6-liter petrol engines generating 147 hp and 177 hp, respectively, while the 1.6-liter diesel engine would produce 134 hp. Sitting at the very top is a 1.6-liter T-GDI HEV turbocharged petrol engine coupled with a 59 hp electric motor and a 1.49 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, generating a total of 226 hp.
Just like the standard variant, all powerplants will be available with an all-wheel-drive system. Mild hybrid models might come with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, while a seven-speed automatic gearbox might be optional.
In recent years, the Hyundai Tucson has been a great looking car packed with great features. With the N Line variant’s introduction, Hyundai Tucson might be one of the sportiest looking vehicles in the segment. However, nothing can be said with certainty until the new model is released, but judging from the official images, it sure looks so.
