Cue the Tucson in N-Line trim, a motorsport-inspired version that combines dynamic design, comfort, advanced features, and even some handling treatment. It's a family SUV that's a looker and practical.
Great! But which N-Line Trim is the best?
Well, there's only one N-Line trim available. However let us compare the top of the range normal Tucson in 2.0 Diesel Elite trim to the N Line to get a good comparison going.
Hyundai Tucson 2.0 Diesel Elite
The Elite has a 2.0 turbodiesel engine producing 137kW and 416Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Some notable features include a slew of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, such as Blind Spot Collision Avoidance, Pre-Collision Avoidance, and more. Comfort and luxury notably include artificial leather seats and a comprehensive infotainment system. We have a full review, which you can check out here.
Hyundai Tucson 2.0D N Line
The N Line takes everything that the 2.0 Diesel Elite has and amps it up in the following ways. You get the same diesel engine, but this time, power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed Automatic with HTRAC All-Wheel-Drive. The N Line also gets a styling package in the form of a body kit, new 19-inch wheels, new N Line seating and an N Line-specific steering wheel. Last up, the N Line gets some handling tweaks, too, but maintains the comfortable ride quality you'd come to expect with a Tucson.
Both vehicles achieve the same 7.4l /100km claimed fuel consumption.
Which is best?
For the added kerb appeal and All Wheel Drive, we would go with the N Line as the tweaks really hone in the Tucson, and it's not much more money to attain an N Line. You can even tow with an N Line. If you're curious about what Tucson N Line offers are available, you can search AutoTrader for the latest offerings and sell your current car, too.
