| Electric power comes from an underfloor 13.8kWh lithium ion polymer battery, which Hyundai claims offer more than 31 miles of zero-emissions running |
| Hyundai says its new Tucson incorporates hidden lights, though they're hidden in plain sight as part of the SUV's parametric grille. In this case, hidden is certainly debatable. Looking head-on at a new Tucson with its lights off, it's not hard to distinguish the lights from the rest of the grille. Still, they are technically part of the grille, and it's rather interesting how Hyundai incorporated the lenses into the Tucson's smiling face. In short, the automaker utilizes half-mirror tech that involves applying a thin layer of a metal surface coating on the inner part of the outer lens. In conjunction with the smoked chrome grille, the overall effect is a singular presence on the front clip. Hyundai also talks about clever lighting at the rear, though it's not really hidden. |
| Set to be launched in Europe this spring, the crossover has been given a sporty makeover that is unfortunately all show and no extra go |
| Tucson N Line has been equipped with a revised grille that is wider and taller than the one used on the standard model. That isn’t the only change as the grille’s parametric ‘jewels’ have elaborated edges which create “additional reflections depending on the angle.” |
| The crossover will be available in seven different colors including an N Line exclusive Shadow Grey. For a more distinctive appearance, five of the hues can be combined with a contrasting Phantom Black roof. |
| The sporty styling continues in the cabin as the model has been equipped with leather and suede seats that feature red contrast stitching. Additional changes are limited, but the Tucson N Line has an N steering wheel, alloy pedals and a black headliner |
| engine options carryover with the exception of the “low power diesel version.” As a result, you can get the Tucson N Line with everything from a 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS) 1.6-liter diesel to a plug-in hybrid powertrain producing 261 hp (195 kW / 265 PS). |

Review from Mat Watson https://youtu.be/0oQWhmBs0bU According to him and like he mentions in the video the car has taken design cues from a lot of other cars, but I feel overall the car feels pretty futuristic and different! |

Hyundai hasn't confirmed that they will launch the new Tucson here, right? You might be waiting for a long time if I am not missing any recent updates regarding the launch. |
