2021 Hyundai Tucson N Line Debuts Sporty Look, Upgraded Suspension

It should be just as comfortable in Normal mode as the regular Tucson while offering a more engaging drive when the Sport mode is turned on. Hyundai claims the N Line's steering feels significantly different depending on the selected driving mode as a result of optimizing the suspension. The damping force is controlled on each individual wheel, which pays dividends in terms of reducing roll, pitch, and vertical motion.

Beyond the trick suspension, the 2021 Tucson N Line has a slightly more aggressive look, courtesy of a beefier body kit, dual exhausts, and 19-inch wheels. The amped-up crossover is finished in a Shadow Gray paint exclusive to this version and optionally available with a Phantom Black roof. The latter can be had with four other main body paints (Dark Knight, Sunset Red, Engine Red, Polar White), while the single-tone finishes are Shimmering Silver and Phantom Black.

Hyundai also made some changes inside where there are N-badged front seats with greater lateral support and red stitching you'll also notice throughout the cabin for a sportier vibe. The Tucson N Line also gets a black headliner and a glossy black finish on some surfaces, while metal pedals, footrest, and side sills complete the look.

There are no changes underneath the hood where customers will be able to get the Tucson N Line with a turbocharged 1.6-litre gasoline engine with or without mild hybrid technology and a choice between either 150 or 180 horsepower. There's also a 1.6-litre mild-hybrid diesel rated at 136 hp, joined by a hybrid 1.6-litre gasoline powertrain with 230 hp and a stronger 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid producing 265 hp.

While rumours have suggested there would be a fully-fledged Tucson N, it remains to be seen whether that will actually happen. In the meantime, the Kona N will debut shortly to sit on top of the already revealed Kona N Line.
