Hyundai has unveiled a new ‘N Line‘ version of its latest Tucson family SUV, adding sportier exterior styling and interior trim to the recently revealed next-generation model.
Making its debut at the Paris motor show, the new Tucson ‘N Line’ features redesigned bumpers, exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels and a darker interior with red detailing. As with other Hyundai N Line models, the changes are primarily cosmetic rather than mechanical.
The exterior gets a more angular front bumper with a prominent lower spoiler, satin-black air intakes and revised side skirts. Other changes include slimmer wheel arch cladding, gloss-black mirrors and C-pillar inserts, and a redesigned rear bumper with diffuser-style detailing and twin exhaust outlets.
Inside, the N Line features black leather and textile-suede sports seats with red contrast stitching, alongside matching accents on the dashboard and doors. A unique steering wheel, metal pedals and N Line-branded door sills complete the changes.
Petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid options
The Tucson N Line will be available with the same three powertrain options as the standard model. The entry-level 1.6-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine produces 150hp and comes with front-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic gearbox.
The full hybrid combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 245hp, with a choice of front- or all-wheel drive.
The most powerful option is the plug-in hybrid, producing 292hp and featuring a 17.1kWh battery. Hyundai quotes an electric-only driving range of up to 42 miles, although this figure remains provisional. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions will be offered.
Technology and practicality
The N Line retains the same interior layout and technology as the regular Tucson, including a 17-inch infotainment display running Hyundai’s Android-based Pleos Connect system.
Available equipment includes wireless smartphone charging, an AI-powered voice assistant, remote parking assistance and a digital rear-view mirror.
Boot capacity is quoted at up to 613 litres, depending on powertrain, while the rear seats feature a sliding mechanism and a 40:20:40 split-folding arrangement.
Hyundai also lists a range of driver assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking, motorway driving assistance and parking collision avoidance.
UK pricing and availability
Hyundai has yet to confirm UK pricing, specifications or an on-sale date for the new Tucson N Line. Final performance and efficiency figures are also subject to confirmation.
