About the Tucson N Line
The N Line trim adds a sporty edge to the Tucson, boasting a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine producing 137 kW and 416 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination promises acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 9.4 seconds and a claimed fuel consumption of 7.4 L/100 km (although figures lower than 7 have been recorded). Boot space varies from 539 litres with seats up to 1,860 litres folded, offering ample cargo capacity. Pricing for this model is currently R836 500. It is based on the Elite variant but as the flagship of the range, the N Line gets added interior and exterior goodies, and a sportier suspension setup with more driving modes.

Heated seats, standard on the N Line: Comfort guaranteed
Unlike some car manufacturers that offer heated seats as optional extras, the Hyundai Tucson 2.0D AWD N Line comes equipped with heated front seats thrown into the complete package. This means you can enjoy instant warmth on even the frostiest mornings without needing to pay extra.
While rear heated seats aren't available in this trim, the spacious interior ensures everyone on board has ample legroom and headroom for comfortable journeys.

Why heated seats matter
Heated seats offer a welcome respite from the cold, but beyond comfort, they offer other benefits too:
- Improved circulation. Heat helps improve blood flow, reducing fatigue and stiffness on long journeys.
- Relief from pain. Warmth can help soothe muscle aches and pains, and those with lower back pain are sure to benefit from seat heating.

Here's a closer look at the heated seats offered in the Hyundai Tucson 2.0D AWD N Line:
- Heating levels: Multiple heating levels allow you to find the perfect temperature for your needs.
- Fast heating: The seats heat up quickly, so relief from the cold is felt almost immediately.
- Convenience: Heated seats are activated with a dedicated button on the centre console, making them easy to use while driving.
- Leather-suede N Line sport seats: These stylish and comfortable seats enhance the N Line's sporty character while providing excellent support. The bonus is that they won't burn you in the summer like smooth leather seats do.
