The standard four-cylinder is painfully slow and might be forgiven if it was limited to the base trim. We'd also like to see a stronger base engine. A word to automakers: Just because Tesla does it doesn't make it right. A conversation starter, yes, but touch controls are notoriously distracting to use while driving and these are no different. The Tucson's touch-sensitive display, in the standard 8-inch or upgraded 10.25-inch version, is a step back. With the Tucson's recent redesign and last year's arrival of the off-road-styled XRT, we don't anticipate significant changes for the 2024 edition. It's roomy and comfortable, with good headroom in front and rear rows, a minimal and classy interior, and abundant cargo space that's among the best in the class. Exciting design won't save a bad car, though, and fortunately the Tucson isn't a bad car. A wide-slatted grille is complemented by segmented LED accent lights, and the roof tapers to the back for a sporty look. Hyundai also claimed they made revisions to the rear seat belts (including the tensioners to improve safety further.The Tucson was redesigned in 2022, and its doors pop with bulges and wedges, and sharp lines extend from the front doors to the rear taillights. In addition to the performance on hand, the 2024 N Line will also benefit from other changes that were applied to the rest of the broader Tucson lineup, with the model getting newly standard haptic feedback tech in the steering wheel and rear side airbags. Hyundai didn’t reveal pricing for the 2024 Tucson N Line but look for the model to make its appearance in showrooms early next year. All-wheel drive is standard on the N Line, and buyers also get a six-speed automatic as well. For those that are still following along on their calculator or abacus, that translates to a 12 mpg gain in combined driving while the freeway rating gets a 4 mpg boost versus the 2.5 liter’s ratings. However, while the extra power is always welcome in anything that has “N” in its badging, the main goal of this hybrid model is to promote improved fuel economy, with the model getting 37 mpg in combined driving and 36 mpg in freeway driving. This engine has seen duty in other Tucson trims (as well as several other Kia and Hyundai models) but its appearance in the Tucson N Line shows that Hyundai understands the market very well. All N Line models swap out the 2.5-liter with a 1.6-liter 226-horsepower hybrid equipped turbocharged four-cylinder. The interior gets new sport seats with N logos on the backrests and the steering wheel and a bold trim element on the dash that adds a pair of red stripes to the passenger side of the dashboard.īut these changes are mere appetizers compared to the biggest change lurking under the hood, a new engine.
Like other N Line models, the 2024 Tucson N Line is largely meant to be a styling package, and while the SUV’s core identity remains unchanged, the model continues to add sporty touches like bigger wheels and a new shade of grey called Amazon Grey.
Sporty Styling Compliments Power Bump For Tucson N Line Hyundai is out to change that reputation, and while it’s still not building a formal Tucson N model (for now…), the Korean automaker has decided to do the next best thing by unveiling the newly updated 2024 Hyundai Tucson N Line. While it’s good at hauling people and cargo, the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine has always been a sore spot, especially with its lack of oomph. The Hyundai Tucson is far from being considered a performance SUV offering.
