Powering the Tucson N Line is a 1 998cc turbodiesel engine that produces 137 kW at 4 000 r/min and 416Nm between 2 000 and 2 750 r/min. This is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, which can propel the 1 680kg SUV to 100km/h in a claimed 9.4 seconds and go on to a top speed of 201 km/h. This means the Tucson boasts a great blend of comfort and brisk performance.
