Hyundai has unveiled the sporty N Line version of the new-generation Tucson in Paris. The updated SUV stands out with its larger dimensions, modern design, 17-inch multimedia display and improved hybrid powertrains.
The new Tucson was developed based on Hyundai’s “Art of Steel” design philosophy. The vehicle features more muscular body lines, wider wheel arches and an updated lighting system. The N Line version also comes with unique bumpers, 20-inch alloy wheels, black trim elements, sporty side skirts and dual exhaust outlets.
The vehicle’s lighting technology has also been updated. Depending on the trim level, the Tucson is available with a Micro Pixel Lighting system consisting of 25,600 individual LED pixels. This technology enables more precise control of the light and the display of various lighting animations.
The new Tucson has a more spacious cabin than the previous generation. The rear doors’ opening angle has been increased from 73 degrees to 83 degrees. Cargo capacity reaches 695 liters. To enhance comfort inside the cabin, an electrically adjustable steering wheel, Ergomotion seats and an improved ventilation system are included.
The N Line version’s interior features black upholstery, red stitching, suede elements and a unique N steering wheel. The sporty details preserve the vehicle’s practical features intended for everyday use.
One of the main technological innovations is the Pleos Connect multimedia system, which runs on Android Automotive OS. Buyers will be able to choose between a 12.9-inch or 17-inch central display. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a 9.9-inch digital instrument cluster and the Gleo AI artificial intelligence-powered voice assistant.
The system supports wireless software updates, various applications and connected services. The equipment list also includes a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a head-up display, two 15 W wireless charging pads and four 100 W USB-C ports. Hyundai Digital Key 2 technology allows the vehicle’s doors to be unlocked and the engine to be started using a smartphone or smartwatch.
The new Tucson will go on sale with several powertrain options. The standard hybrid version produces 245 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version combines a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, an electric motor and a 17.1 kWh battery to deliver 292 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque.
The PHEV version is expected to travel up to 81 kilometers on electric power alone. This figure has not yet received final certification. The vehicle supports 7.2 kW AC charging. A 1.6-liter gasoline engine producing 150 horsepower will also be offered as a more affordable option.
The Tucson’s safety systems have also been expanded. The vehicle is equipped with systems that help prevent collisions, Highway Driving Assist, adaptive cruise control and technologies that recognize speed limits.
